en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 1, the National Mine Safety Administration of China held a national video conference on safety supervision of non-coal mines. The meeting implemented the requirements of the national production safety video conference on May 30, summarized the achievements of safety supervision of non-coal mines, analyzed the current situation and problems, and deployed key tasks for 2026, emphasizing the promotion of mine transformation and upgrading and the application of advanced technical equipment, and resolutely preventing and curbing the occurrence of major and extraordinarily serious accidents.
The National Mine Safety Administration is a national bureau under the management of the Ministry of Emergency Management of the People's Republic of China, at the deputy ministerial level, responsible for national mine safety supervision. Its predecessor was the National Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, which was adjusted to the current system in 2020. The bureau has provincial-level bureaus that perform national mine safety supervision functions.
The meeting pointed out that lessons must be learned from the "5·22" particularly serious gas explosion accident at Liushenyu Coal Company of Shanxi Tongzhou Group, using the case as a warning. The meeting emphasized focusing on the major decisions and deployments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, vigorously implementing the "eight hard measures" and the "three-year action" review, continuing to promote the sealing of abandoned mine shafts, cracking down on illegal and unlawful production and construction activities, and managing tailings ponds in key river basins, to hold the bottom line of mine production safety. At the same time, it continued to consolidate the responsibilities of local party and government leaders and departmental supervision, improving the penetration of supervision and the quality and effectiveness of law enforcement.
Regarding the high-quality development of the mining industry, the meeting required continuous strengthening of source control, promoting mine transformation and upgrading and the application of advanced technical equipment, and enhancing safety assurance capabilities. Specific measures include: severely cracking down on illegal and unlawful acts such as production and construction not in accordance with design, malicious falsification to evade supervision, dual sets of drawings, and illegal subcontracting and subletting; strengthening accountability for actual controllers, ultimate beneficiaries, and behind-the-scenes manipulators; deepening the investigation and rectification of major hazards and the proactive management of major disasters, promoting the transformation of mine safety governance models towards pre-incident prevention.
The meeting required all provincial bureaus to accurately perform the core functions of national mine safety supervision, clarify the boundaries of rights and responsibilities, and implement supervision responsibilities; improve and innovate supervision methods, regularly carry out "dissection-style" supervision, and strengthen closed-loop management of rectification of supervision recommendations; at the same time, strengthen the construction of supervision teams, deepen the governance of misconduct and corruption, and enhance the performance capabilities of cadres. This meeting clarified the direction for China's non-coal mine safety supervision work in 2026, which will help improve the safety level of the mining industry and promote the application of advanced technical equipment.
