en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, China's National Mine Safety Administration issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Strengthening the Implementation of Mine Enterprise Safety Production Main Responsibilities" (Mine Safety [2026] No. 77), which puts forward systematic requirements for the upgrading of mine technical equipment. The guiding opinions clarify that mining enterprises must establish strict selection standards for third-party service institutions to ensure the compliance and reliability of professional services; at the same time, they must fully allocate safety production funds, with a focus on ensuring investment in key areas such as major risk control, disaster management, and intelligent equipment renewal and transformation.
In terms of technical pathways, the guiding opinions require accelerating the elimination of outdated processes and equipment. Small and medium-sized mines should actively carry out mechanization upgrades and transformations, while large mines should continuously advance automation and intelligent upgrades. Mines with severe disasters or those that have experienced major or above accidents must undergo intelligent transformation. Additionally, the document imposes mandatory requirements for dual power supply guarantees in coal mines and metal and non-metal underground mines.
The guiding opinions focus on the full-chain and whole-process management of mine safety involving "people, machines, environment, and management," proposing systematic requirements from consolidating the responsibilities of all parties in enterprises to controlling major risks and hazards. In terms of implementing the primary responsibilities of principal persons in charge, it requires that the principal persons in charge of mining enterprises and their parent companies strictly fulfill the duties stipulated by the Work Safety Law. For non-coal mining enterprises, the principal person in charge must perform duties at the production site for no less than 10 working days per month, while for coal mining enterprises, the principal person in charge must conduct on-site supervision and inspection of safety production work at the coal mine at least once per month.
The issuance of these guiding opinions clarifies the direction of technological research and market focus for mining technology enterprises, bringing policy benefits to fields such as intelligent equipment, power supply security systems, and third-party technical services. This series of deployments will effectively promote the improvement of mine safety production levels and the intelligent transformation process of China's mining industry.
