Hunan Holds Special Symposium on Safety in Mine Hoisting and Transportation — Heijingang News
Recently, Hunan Province convened a special symposium on mine hoisting and transportation safety to thoroughly learn from the Zhaoyuan Canzhuang Gold Mine accident in Shandong. “February 7” Conducting exchanges and seminars on lessons learned from cage-fall accidents in mines and on measures to strengthen safety management. Representatives from the Hunan Bureau of the National Mine Safety Administration, the Hunan Provincial Emergency Management Department, Hunan Mineral Resources Group, Changsha Institute of Mining Research, Zhongke Guizhuan, as well as other mining enterprises, research institutes, equipment manufacturers, and testing and inspection agencies, along with experts in mechanical and electrical engineering, attended. 30 More than ten people attended.
Learn from past cases; let the warning bell ring continuously.
“ Severe corrosion of wire ropes has not been addressed through timely replacement; routine inspections and periodic testing of wire ropes suffer from blind spots and dead zones; testing and inspection are often conducted by submitting equipment to external laboratories rather than performing on-site sampling, resulting in test results that fail to accurately reflect the actual condition of the equipment; mining enterprises face a shortage of mechanical and electrical technicians and maintenance personnel, leading to perfunctory daily maintenance and upkeep; furthermore, some shaft cages and hoisting winches have been in service for extended periods, with individual pieces of equipment having exceeded 20 In that year, the reliability of system operation was difficult to guarantee; moreover, the currently prevalent methods for inspecting wire ropes are inadequate to meet actual needs. ” All of these constitute major risk factors in hoisting and transportation systems. In light of hoisting and transportation accidents that have occurred in recent years both within and outside the province, the experts in attendance conducted a risk analysis and assessment of our province’s mine hoisting and transportation systems.
Identify the root cause and deliver precise treatment.
“ Strictly control entry points: safety-mark certification bodies must increase the frequency of ongoing inspections of products that have already obtained safety marks, and mining enterprises must rigorously review and approve equipment procurement. Implement grid-based equipment management, clearly defining responsible persons, scopes of responsibility, and measures for ensuring accountability, to ensure that routine equipment maintenance and upkeep are effective. Inspection agencies shall accurately record process controls and on-site inspection findings, and promptly file these records together with supporting documentation such as on-site images and video footage, thereby establishing a complete, traceable archive of the evaluation process; it is strictly prohibited to substitute on-site sampling by inspection agencies with self-sampling by enterprises. Furthermore, advanced technologies such as online wire-rope monitoring systems should be promoted, and comprehensive wire-rope inspections should be conducted through a combination of non-destructive testing and manual inspection. ” Participants offered suggestions on how to strengthen measures and enhance the risk management and control capabilities of the transportation system.
Pool wisdom and broaden perspectives; build consensus.
The meeting concluded that continuously elevating the level of intelligentization in mining operations, advancing full lifecycle management of hoisting equipment, implementing advanced practices such as nondestructive testing of wire ropes, strengthening the institutionalized and standardized management of inspection and testing, promoting the use of backup protective devices for hoisting equipment and refining relevant standards, and accelerating the upgrading and transformation of hoisting systems are all essential measures for enhancing risk control capabilities in mine hoisting and transportation systems. Relevant officials from the Hunan Bureau of the National Mine Safety Administration and the Hunan Provincial Emergency Management Department stated that this specialized exchange and seminar has broadened perspectives and identified effective approaches for strengthening safety management in mine hoisting and transportation operations. They will take this event as an opportunity to continuously improve working mechanisms, refine specific measures, ensure that all parties assume their respective responsibilities, and thereby promote sustained stability and improvement in the safety situation of mines in Hunan Province.
