Prosecutor's "dead" gas hazard hidden dangers to crack gas safety supervision situation

Recently, a series of cases of gas safety public interest litigation handled by the Yicheng Procuratorate of Hubei Province have been rated as typical cases by the Hubei Provincial Procuratorate. Gas safety is related to the safety of the people's lives and property and the stability of the social situation. How to check the hidden dangers of gas safety? How to crack the dilemma of supervision? How to prevent and reduce gas accidents? Wang Gang, the prosecutor of the fourth procuratorial department of the hospital, answered these questions with his own case experience.

A large amount of liquefied gas cylinders are stacked and eight piles are accumulated at the door of the factory building

In early November 2020, when Wang Gang "looked back" in a community in a community, a pungent liquefied smell attracted his attention. He looked around and found that the smell was floating from a factory building in the residential area. Closely, a large number of liquefied gas cylinders accumulated horizontally at the door of the plant, and some were cutting and welding processing indoors. Wang Gang stepped forward to talk to the other party and learned that this was a small workshop producing heating furnace.

"Why do you stack a large amount of liquefied gas cylinder?" In this regard, the owner of the workshop explained that heating furnaces are very popular in the countryside, but the production heating furnace requires a large amount of steel and the process is complicated. , Can reduce costs.

After understanding the situation, Wang Gang was deeply thought. The liquefied gas cylinder is flammable and explosive. Even empty cans may have remnants. Once improperly disposal, it is easy to cause fire or cause explosion. On November 17, 2020, with the approval of the Attorney General, Wang Gang sent to the city's market supervision bureau to the procuratorial suggestion, requiring the bureau to perform supervision duties in accordance with the law, investigate and deal with the behavior of liquefied gas cylinders in the illegal processing and processing of small workshops, and in the area under the jurisdiction. Carry out special inspection activities.

After receiving the suggestion, the person in charge of the Yishi Market Supervision Bureau attached great importance to organizing a special work class to investigate the small workshops.

However, it encountered difficulties during the rectification process. The person in charge of the Market Supervision Bureau reflected to Wang Gang: "The father and son who run this workshop came to us every day, saying that the purchase of these steel bottles had invested all funds. After sealing, their lives were very difficult. This batch of steel cylinders is processed. "

Does the small workshop completely eliminate hidden safety hazards? How can ordinary people's livelihood and safety be taken into account? These issues have been lingering in Wang Gang's heart. He once again found the person in charge of the Market Supervision Bureau to discuss the solution. After 4 hours of communication, the two parties reached an agreement: the Market Supervision Bureau is responsible for contacting units with scrap processing qualifications, and then urged the owner of the workshop to transport the liquefied gas cylinder to the processing unit for scrap process.

"After we communicated with the scrapped processing unit, they decided to deal with the batch of liquefied gas cylinders for free. This not only eliminated hidden safety hazards, but also reduced the economic burden of the father and son of the small workshop." However, the safety of the safe use of liquefied gas cylinders was only brow, and the problem of liquefied gas was on Wang Gang's mind.

Small truck delivery and transportation bottle liquefaction gas is common?

"The weather is getting hotter, and the liquefied gas cylinder loaded on the truck is different. Collecting each other can easily lead to burning and explosion of gas leaks. This transportation is unsafe." In May 2021, Wang Gang and colleagues encountered during the handling of the case. A small truck containing more than 10 liquefied gas cylinders. Colleagues said that using this small truck to transport bottle liquefied gas, it is very convenient to walk streets and lanes, so it is also very common. As soon as Wang Gang heard it, he would follow the small truck. They followed and found that the small truck entered a liquefied gas station in the east of the city, and half an hour later loaded a vehicle liquefied gas cylinder to leave.

There are 13 gas -operated units in the jurisdiction. Is it all delivered like this? In order to find out the situation, Wang Gang "squat" outside the liquefied gas station for a few days. After observation, he found that 6 small trucks with different licenses were loaded with a large number of liquefied gas cylinders, repeatedly entering and leaving liquefied gas stations. None of the vehicles did not apply for road transportation operation permits, no safety protection measures, no obvious danger of suspended obvious dangers The transportation logo and the delivery staff did not implement uniform dressing.

In order to understand whether there is a hidden safety hazard for the liquefied gas of the small truck transportation, Wang Gang has visited the Yishi Transportation Bureau and the Housing and Urban -Rural Development Bureau. After investigation and verification, Wang Gang believes that the Transportation Bureau has regulatory responsibilities for vehicles that are engaged in road dangerous cargo transportation; the Housing and Urban Construction Bureau has regulatory duties in gas delivery vehicles and personnel. Subsequently, the hospital issued procuratorial suggestions to the two units in accordance with the law. After receiving the procuratorial suggestion, the Transportation Bureau investigated and dealt with the owner of the liquefied gas of the unlicensed transportation bottle in accordance with the law. The Housing and Urban Construction Bureau increased the training management and punishment of employees, and implemented unified distribution, unified dressing, and unified identification.

In order to completely solve the problem of safety hazards such as small liquefied gas stations, long -term ages, aging equipment, and unsuccessful safety distances, Yishi City Procuratorate promoted the administrative organ to hold a special training meeting for gas safety. At the meeting, 13 liquefied gas stations expressed voluntarily jointly establishing gas companies, and then set up professional gas distribution companies with dangerous cargo road transportation licenses. In March 2022, the gas company and the distribution company were established to effectively guarantee the transportation safety of bottle liquefied gas from sales stores to user homes.

Occupy the gas pipeline is harmful! Flexible treatment eliminate hidden dangers

"Occupy the gas pipeline is harmful! Although we are the competent department, to be honest, there is really no law enforcement force." The person in charge of the Yishi Housing and Construction Bureau said earnestly to Wang Gang. It turned out that with some gas accidents, the people paid great attention to gas safety. Many people reported to the Yicheng Procuratorate that there were problems in the community where they lived in the community. Wang Gang and colleagues conducted a survey, and found in a number of communities to occupy nearly 10 balconies, public channels, and public venues to build buildings, buildings, and occupy the gas pipeline. It is found that these buildings and structures are illegal construction. As a result, Wang Gang contacted the person in charge of the Yicheng Housing and Construction Bureau, hoping that the Housing and Urban Construction Bureau would solve the problem of being occupied by the gas pipeline in accordance with the law. The person in charge of the Housing and Urban Construction Bureau said that due to the insufficient law enforcement force, it was difficult to investigate and deal with the problem of voltage gas pipelines.

After thinking about it, Wang Gang and his colleagues went to Yishi Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau. "Can the Urban Management Bureau manage?" Colleagues were doubtful. Sure enough, the person in charge of the Urban Management Bureau said: "This matter is not under our management.

"Occupy the gas pipeline, it really does not return to you, but the illegal buildings in the urban planning area should be governed?" Wang Gang's question made everyone open.

Indeed, in accordance with relevant regulations and the "three -fixed" plan, the Urban Management Bureau has the right to administrative penalties for illegal construction in the urban planning area, and may make a decision to stop the construction or demolition decision within a time limit in accordance with the law. If the illegal building is demolished, the problem of accommodating the gas pipeline will be solved, and it will be obtained.

"A departmental force is limited, but the multi -departmental joint efforts to focus on solving can achieve more effort. In the procuratorial supervision, as long as we are willing to study, find out, and think more, the method is always more difficult than the difficulty." Wang Gang said.

Pay close attention to the catering industry to urge the installation and alarm device

"Natural gas coverage is widely covered, involving millions of households. To further investigate risks and rectify hidden dangers, we must fully rely on the gas company and jointly promote it with relevant departments." After handling gas safety cases, Wang Gang has quite experienced. At the end of 2021, Wang Gang invited the person in charge of the Municipal Ran'an Office to go to China Resources Gas Company to investigate and found that in addition to the problems of gas storage and transportation, there are many hidden dangers in the use of gas. In particular As high as 205.

How to standardize the installation of gas alarm devices in the catering industry? How to continue to strengthen gas safety management? On March 21, 2022, the Yicheng Procuratorate organized a symposium to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the Municipal People's Congress, members of the CPPCC, and related administrative agencies. Everyone agrees that the merchants who have not yet installed the alarm device can be rectified before the end of August 2022. They can issue the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Safety Management of the City in the Gas Gas" in the name of the city. The rectification of hidden safety hazards such as stoves and other gas sources; the Municipal Housing and Urban Construction Bureau leads the special rectification of the installation and maintenance qualifications of the combustion appliances; the gas enterprise organizes a safety inspection of household entry, and the hidden dangers will notify the user to implement the rectification and form a working list in time. The rectification of the rectification was stopped until the rectification of hidden dangers; the relevant towns (offices, districts) urged residents to rectify the hidden dangers of the gas user side, and the relevant departments could be jointly enforced by relevant departments who refused to rectify. Public safety is punished according to law.

Driven by all parties, as of June 2022, among the 205 gas use units, except for some reporting gas, more than 80%of the installation of the gas alarm device has been completed.
