China to launch campaign on work safety
0 
China will launch a two-month campaign to inspect work safety nationwide on April 5, according to the work safety commission of the State Council, or the Cabinet.
Serious accidents have taken place in succession in some areas and industries recently, which show negligence and loopholes in work safety management and serious violations to laws and regulations, said a circular issued by the commission.
The inspection would focus on work safety in mines, the chemical industry, transportation and fire-works mills, among others.
The campaign would include self-examination by enterprises, government inspection and public supervision.
Enterprises are required to complete self-examination in April and local governments to conduct inspection in May, while the commission would dispatch supervision teams to check their work.
The nationwide campaign comes days after 153 coal miners were trapped in a flooded coal mine in north China's Shanxi Province, which will be China's worst mining disaster in more than two years if the miners cannot be saved.
