The Criterion for Judging the Potential Dangers of Major Accidents in Industry and Trade Enterprises was issued one year ago.
The Criteria for Judging Major Accident Hidden Dangers in Industry and Trade Enterprises issued in April last year (hereinafter referred to as the Criteria) is the fundamental basis for industry and trade enterprises to investigate and control major accident hidden dangers. Since the Criteria was issued one year ago, industry and trade enterprises across the country have checked and corrected more than 70,000 major accident hidden dangers, and emergency management departments have investigated and dealt with more than 72,000 hidden dangers, thus accurately controlling a large number of problems.
After the promulgation of the Criterion for Judging Major Accidents in Industry and Trade Enterprises, the Emergency Management Department sent joint law enforcement teams to conduct spot checks in various places. It was found that although most industry and trade enterprises had organized special study and training, they were able to check and correct themselves according to the standards, there were still many principals, safety production managers and employees of industry and trade enterprises who did not learn and apply the Criterion in place. For example, Article 14 of the Judgement Standard stipulates that safety-related facilities and equipment should ensure safe operation and use, otherwise it will be a major accident hazard, and law enforcement inspection found that some enterprises only pay attention to the "presence or absence" of safety devices, and do not pay attention to whether they can really play a role.
In view of the problems found in the spot check, the emergency management department will organize special training in the near future, reinterpret the judgments in key industrial and trade fields such as metallurgy, aluminum processing (deep well casting), dust explosion, and retrain the main person in charge of the enterprise and safety production management personnel. Accelerate the construction and application of monitoring and early warning system. Enterprises in key industries of industry and trade will fully popularize and apply the safety risk monitoring and early warning system, formulate data access specifications around the Judgment Standard, and form a whole chain closed-loop management mode of monitoring and early warning, law enforcement inspection and rectification of major accident hidden dangers. In addition, the Emergency Management Department will also provide assistance and guidance to areas where production safety accidents occur frequently in the industry and trade industry, so as to promote the relevant areas to further understand the Judgment Criteria and accurately judge and investigate major accidents.

Yunnan Green Spring: Punching a hole with a baby pangolin is "busy" in spring
In spring, everything recovers, and pangolins are also "busy", and they have to dig holes and "take the baby" out for a walk. Next, let’s take a look at Luchun County, Honghe, Yunnan.
In the picture, this wild pangolin buried its head in the hole, half of its body was still in the hole, and soon it dug up a pile of soil. Then it withdrew from the earth hole, took a short rest, and continued to start "construction". This is a picture accidentally taken by a local villager in Lvchun County, Honghe, Yunnan Province, when he was working in the mountains recently. Pangolin’s forelimbs are strong and its claws are very hard, and it is very skillful when digging holes.
Previously, the local area also accidentally photographed the pangolin "traveling with a baby". A small pangolin in MengMeng lies tightly on the parents’ back, with its front paws still swinging back and forth uneasily, while the strong pangolin parents climb up with their babies firmly on their backs.
Pangolin is a national first-class protected animal, which has a long breeding cycle and low breeding efficiency, and the overall number is extremely rare. They are timid by nature, and it is difficult to be observed during the day.
