Case of medical equipment handling accident

When workers in a cement factory in a county were carrying cement, the warehouse suddenly collapsed, causing nine people to be seriously injured. After the accident, Jiang, the main person in charge of the cement plant, immediately reported the relevant situation to the county safety production supervision and management department. After receiving the report, the safety production supervision and management department thinks that the number of seriously injured people is below 10, which is a general accident, and sends personnel to the scene of the accident to organize rescue and properly handle the wounded. Then, what kind of fine will the main person in charge face after the closure of this cement plant?

The production and business operation entity shall regularly inspect and maintain the machines, equipment and workshops used by the entity and keep them in good condition. Failing to organize safety production in accordance with relevant regulations and causing safety accidents, the safety production supervision and management department shall punish the relevant principal responsible persons of the enterprise. Specifically, according to the different levels of accidents, Article 92 of China's "Safety Production Law" stipulates the following four kinds of penalties: (1) In the event of an ordinary accident, a fine of 30% of the previous year's income is imposed; (two) a major accident, a fine of forty percent of the previous year's income; (three) a major accident, a fine of 60% of the previous year's income; (four) in the event of a particularly serious accident, a fine of 80% of the annual income of the previous year shall be imposed. The safety accident in this case was identified as a general accident, and the main person in charge, Jiang, will be fined 30% of the annual income of the previous year.

Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Work Safety

Article 92 If the main person in charge of a production and business operation entity fails to perform the duties of production safety management as stipulated in this Law, and a production safety accident occurs, the supervision and administration department of production safety shall impose a fine in accordance with the following provisions: (1) If an ordinary accident occurs, a fine of 30% of the previous year's income shall be imposed; (two) a major accident, a fine of forty percent of the previous year's income; ……

(four) in the event of a particularly serious accident, a fine of 80% of the annual income of the previous year shall be imposed.

An enterprise is not just an economic entity. While pursuing economic benefits, it should also care about the life safety and health of workers and provide them with a qualified production environment. This is the inherent requirement of protecting workers' right to life, and it is also the meaning of realizing the sustainable development of enterprises. In this process, it is particularly important for the main person in charge of the production and business operation unit to perform the duties of safety production management. Failure to perform this duty will lead to production safety accidents, and the law will hell to pay.
