Illegal practice blamed for SW China mine explosion
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-05-31 20:25 CHONGQING -- Excessive use of explosives and poor evacuation procedures were to blame for the deaths of 30 people in a southwest China colliery Saturday, a senior official in charge of the country's work safety organization said.
Zhao Tiechui, head of the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety (SACMS), pointed out that an excessive amount of explosives directly triggered the accident. "Coal mine owners put the emphasis on accelerating construction instead of work safety," said Zhao. Workers should have been evacuated before detonation, he said. "The mine's managers didn't evacuate workers in time." On Sunday, an investigation team under the State Council was set up. |
