1363 industrialization, relatively lagging in safety technology and equipment levels, and insufficient safety awareness and skills among workers, accidents frequently occurred in industries such as mining, commerce, and transportation. In 1999, China established the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety，and in 2002, the China Work Safety Law was promulgated. In 2004, work safety licensing system was implemented in high-risk industries such as mining, construction, and hazardous chemicals. The author participated in the systematic and comprehensive practicing from work safety experiences of Europe and the United States. By introducing concepts, technologies, standards, and management models, and adapting them through localization and innovation based on rapid industrialization, it has promoted a shift from a severe situation to a stable and significantly improved state in China's safety production. Key projects that the author organized and implemented during this period included: the UNDP’s Project to Strengthen China's Coal Mine Safety Capacity, the China-US Mine Safety Cooperation Project, the China-Australia Coal Mine Safety Demonstration Project, the China-EU High-Risk Industry Occupational Safety and Health Project, and the China-Japan Coal Mine Safety Technology Training Project, with the following positive achievements: 2.1 Promoting Revision and Improvement of Relevant Work Safety Policies and Regulations Exchanges and comparative studies on relevant policies and regulations were conducted with foreign countries, especially major coal-producing countries like the United States, Russia, Australia, and South Africa. This contributed to the formulation of the Coal Mine Safety Supervision Regulations and the revision of the Work Safety Law, and promoted the development of related policies such as the Measures for the Withdrawal and Use of Coal Mine Production Safety Funds and the Interim Measures for the Management of Safety Production Risk Deposit Funds for Coal Mine Enterprises. 2.2 Improving Hidden Hazard Investigation and Management Introduce internationally successful safety management concepts and methods such as “Safety First”, “Pointing and Calling”, “Zero Accident”, “Safety Pledge” and the “5 WHY Method” (a method for gradually analyzing and solving practical work problems from five aspects: analyzing the current situation of the problem, negative impacts, causes, countermeasures, and goal setting and effectiveness) into China's coal mines, machinery, and chemical enterprises. Coal enterprise groups such as Yankuang Group, Kailuan Group, and Huaibei Group have fully adopted these management practices, resulting in an overall downward trend in accident rates and fatality rates. 2.3 Enhancing Emergency Response Capabilities Foreign concepts of “scientific decision-making and rescue,” experiences in building emergency response laws, systems, and mechanisms, and advanced rescue technologies and equipment were introduced domestically. International mine rescue skills competitions were organized and participated in to exchange rescue techniques and improve emergency response capabilities. 2.4 Improving Coal Mine Safety Training Standards Training materials for inspectors, rescue team members, managers, and miners from the United States and Japan were introduced, and advanced foreign training concepts & methods were adopted for training instructors.
