22 people trapped in Qixia gold mine explosion in Shandong Province. Why did the enterprises involved delay reporting for 30 hours?

The Hushan gold mine accident in Qixia City, Yantai City, Shandong Province, which trapped 22 people, was reported 30 hours late. The indifference of the enterprises involved to life is no different from indifference to life, that is, they are enemies of the people and will not be allowed by national laws.

According to the news released by Yantai City, the accident occurred on 10/4, but when the enterprise reported to the emergency management department of Qixia City, it was already 20 o'clock the next day. As long as 30 hours, although the enterprise organized the rescue, it never reported to the emergency management department of Qixia City, and it was not "uncovered" until it was found that the rescue was more difficult than its own ability.

People-oriented, life first. The morning papers and express reports of major accidents have long been known. Reporting at the first time means that government departments can carry out rescue earlier, more professionally and more vigorously, and strive for greater escape opportunities for trapped or injured people. The Regulations on Reporting, Investigation and Handling of Production Safety Accidents clearly stipulates that the person in charge of the accident unit shall report the accident information to the local government department 1 hour after receiving the on-site report. At the same time, the relevant national laws have severe penalties for late reporting and concealed accidents.

However, in the face of a series of "high-voltage lines", there are always some enterprises and local government departments who are lucky. After the accident, they were not fighting for rescue forces, but "fighting for time" to make the accident "minor" in an attempt to escape punishment. It was not until I couldn't hide it that I "asked for help" from the higher government departments.

Late reporting consumes the chances of trapped people getting out of trouble and surviving. The Hushan gold mine accident, reported at the first time and 30 hours later, may lead to a completely different fate for 22 trapped people. Put 22 fresh lives and more dangerous situations, and such enterprises will be nailed to the shame column of history forever.

The Spring Festival is coming, and every family is looking forward to reunion. We hope that these 22 trapped people can get out of danger as soon as possible, and we also hope that the relevant parties will uncover the "black cover" of enterprises that trample on their lives as soon as possible, and find out to the end and give the people an account.

22 people were trapped in the Hushan gold mine accident in Qixia City, Yantai City, Shandong Province, and the report was delayed by 30 hours. Rescue is a race against death, and late reporting is a taboo in production safety and cannot be tolerated! The Law on Work Safety clearly stipulates that after an accident, it is not allowed to report it late or conceal it. The rescue is still in progress, and I hope that the trapped people will return safely. And the responsibilities involved need to be checked to the end and will not be tolerated!

The most direct is the crime of not reporting or lying about safety accidents.

Article 139 of the Criminal Law: "After a safety accident, the person responsible for reporting fails to report or falsely reports the accident, thus delaying the rescue of the accident. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention; If the circumstances are especially serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.

Once a production safety accident occurs, timely and effective rescue work is very important, which is directly related to the life safety of trapped people. However, in order to cover up the accident, some enterprises even delayed reporting or even omitted reporting. We will investigate the legal responsibility for late reporting of accidents through legislation, and hope that the responsible persons of these enterprises can report them in time so as to organize rescue work. According to the official report, it was only one day after the accident and explosion of Hushan Gold Mine in Qixia, Shandong Province that the relevant situation was reported to Qixia Emergency Management Bureau. Now some people have been dealt with. However, the cause of the accident is still under investigation, and the result of the accident is only delayed, which will be further dealt with later. Although some trapped people have been found, it may take half a month or even longer to get through the rescue channel. I hope these trapped miners can be rescued smoothly and return safely.

This kind of explosion accident may be suspected of major liability accidents and major labor safety accidents in addition to the crime of not reporting or making false reports about safety accidents. As for the specific charges, this should be determined according to the official investigation results.

However, although such accidents have caused serious casualties and economic losses, the consequences of punishment are not so serious. The above picture shows the treatment results of some safety accidents in recent years. An explosion occurred at Hushan Gold Mine in Qixia, Shandong Province, trapping 22 people. No matter the number of deaths, injuries and even economic losses caused by the above-mentioned safety accidents, they are actually more serious than Hushan Gold Mine in Qixia, Shandong Province. However, in terms of punishment, the maximum sentence in many cases is seven years' imprisonment.
