Recently, the Shenzhen Municipal People's Accident Investigation Team released an investigation report, determining that the "10.27" roller coaster collision accident in Shenzhen Happy Valley was a general special equipment liability accident caused by the failure to implement the main responsibility of enterprise safety and poor maintenance of accident equipment. The accident investigation team made recommendations to the 12 responsible personnel and relevant responsible units, and 3 of them recommended that they be transferred to the judicial organs for handling. The accident investigation team has handed over the problems found in the performance of duties by localities, relevant departments and public employees found in the course of the accident investigation to the discipline inspection and supervision department for handling in accordance with regulations. (Shenzhen Special Zone Daily, January 8).
12 responsible personnel and 9 public officials were dealt with accordingly for this accident, involving a large number of people and units, demonstrating the concept of safety is more important than Mount Tai and "nothing is lost" in the face of safety.
While severely punishing those responsible, we should also think about how to strengthen safety prevention. After all, once a major loss is caused, especially in the event of a ** accident, no matter how many responsible persons are punished, it will not be able to make up for it. Preventing problems before they happen and protecting the people from the threat of all kinds of potential safety hazards and accidents is the real responsibility to the people, and it is also the most "cost-effective" management method.
In the field of safety, there is a well-known Hayne's Law: behind every serious accident, there must be 29 minor accidents, 300 near-misses and 1,000 hidden accidents. Shenzhen "10.27" roller coaster collision accident, it is a profound verification of the correctness of Hayne's law, if it is not for the equipment "sick" operation, maintenance can not be in place in time and other aspects of the layers of failure, accident precursors and hidden dangers can be found and eliminated in advance, so as to avoid the occurrence of the final major accident.
Similar to the playground of Shenzhen Happy Valley has been very common throughout the country, many of which are often very thrilling, while meeting the needs of tourists, in fact, it also hides a greater safety risk, in recent years, there are not a few cases of accidents caused by amusement facilities failure. These accidents show that safety should be the basic bottom line and basic premise of every amusement park and amusement project.
In view of this, the operator must shoulder the main responsibility, always tighten the string of safe production, and ensure the safe operation of equipment and the safe play of tourists from all aspectsMaintenance and other units should have the understanding that safety production is greater than the sky, and must not take a nap or even cut corners in front of the life safety of touristsThe relevant management departments and public officials should learn lessons, draw inferences from one case, strengthen the special rectification of potential safety hazards in playgrounds and amusement facilities, and introduce more strict and effective normalized supervision systems and measures. Only when all parties continue to enhance the sense of responsibility of "always rest assured" and form a joint force to strengthen safety prevention work, can we put a good safety lock on the exciting and thrilling amusement projects and truly realize "there is no danger".
