President stresses safety is paramount
Print Edition
President Xi Jinping yesterday ordered a large-scale production safety check and warned various industries to learn lessons from Friday’s fatal explosions from a leaking pipeline in Qingdao.
Xi was in the coastal city in east China’s Shandong Province to inspect the rescue work and heard reports on the management of the accident.
“This accident once again sounded an alarm for us that work safety must be ensured without loosening hold. Otherwise, it will bring irredeemable loss for the country and the people,” Xi said, urging various industries to improve safety supervision and preventive measures.
He stressed that investigation and management of the accident should be accelerated and people involved must be handled in accordance with the law.
“A large-scale work safety check should be launched ... with inspectors going deep into the production sites anonymously and unannounced,” Xi said, urging a focus on underground oil and gas pipeline network.
Meanwhile, Xi called for utmost efforts in treating the wounded, arranging the funeral affairs of the victims, comforting their relatives and settling local people’s lives.
Yesterday afternoon, Xi visited some of the injured and medical staff at the Huangdao branch of the hospital affiliated to the Medical College of Qingdao University.
Xi shook hands with some patients and asked about their condition, encouraging them to cooperate with doctors and to be at ease in the recovery process.
Offering condolences to family members of victims who died in the accident, Xi pledged the Party and the government would make utmost efforts to secure their life and work while ordering local government departments to carry out follow-up arrangements family by family.
Xi said the Party and government officials at all levels should stick to work safety and give priority to people’s lives, and companies must follow strict safety standards.
Xi urged all companies to pay adequate attention to investment in safety, safety training, grassroots management and emergency rescue and relief work under strict supervision.
