Positioning and responsibilities of safety management personnel

At present, the low level of safety production management and the chaotic safety production management site are due to the lack of internal safety production supervision mechanism, the safety officer fails to really play its due supervisory role, and pushes the safety officer to the front line of safety management. The safety management does not care about safety,"Safety in production is everyone's responsibility", "production must be in charge of safety", "who is in charge of who is responsible"The principles of safe production management are not implemented. The key point is that the statutory regulatory responsibilities of the safety officer cannot be determined, and the regulatory powers cannot be clarified.
From a legal point of view, the safety officer itself is not in charge of safety. Like the personnel of the safety production supervision agency affiliated to the government department, he supervises the safety production management. He is appointed by the enterprise and supervised by random inspection according to the plan. Since it is supervision, there should be the majesty of supervision. The majesty of supervision is based on the law and determined by various regulatory powers.

The duty of the safety officer is to supervise the safety production

Safety production supervision is to manage safety. Yes, it seems to be the same thing, but in fact there is a big difference. It is the existence of the fuzzy concept of safety management and supervision of safety, which makes the safety production management have a long-standing misunderstanding, that the safety officer is in charge of safety, the safety officer's important duty is to supervise the safety production to fuzzy, even to forget or deprived.
If someone says that the supervision of production safety is the management of safety, then this sentence on the relevant government safety supervision department staff head, they are said to be safety production management personnel rather than safety production supervision personnel, can it? They certainly will not accept.
Some people say that the enterprise safety officer is different from the staff of the relevant government safety production supervision department. This sentence is true. The enterprise safety officer is indeed different from the staff of the government's relevant safety production supervision department. The staff of the government's relevant safety production supervision department supervises and manages safety production on behalf of the government, while the enterprise safety officer supervises and manages safety production on behalf of the enterprise, but there is almost no big difference in its work content. Therefore, the enterprise safety officer is actually a safety production supervision and management personnel appointed by an enterprise. In a more strict sense, the enterprise safety officer is an enterprise safety production supervisor who has been given corresponding responsibilities by safety production laws and regulations.
　　Next, from the perspective of production safety laws and regulations to demonstrate the correctness of the sentence "safety officer is not in charge of safety.
First of all, the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on promoting the reform and development in the field of production safety clearly stipulate that "the legal representative and the actual controller are both the first responsible person for production safety, and the main technical person in charge has the power of decision-making and command of production safety technology." strengthen the responsibility of production safety in the department, and implement one post with two responsibilities ". The opinion stated that:We must adhere to the principle that the industry must be in charge of safety, the business must be in charge of safety, the production and operation must be in charge of safety and who is responsible.. as an enterprise"Pipe production must be safe". Whoever is responsible for the production and operation activities of the enterprise should be the main responsible person in charge of safety. Obviously, the legal representative of the enterprise, the actual controller of the production activities of the enterprise, the main technical person in charge of the enterprise, and the responsible person and responsible person of each production management activity of the enterprise, including the project manager, builder and each production team leader of the construction site, are all relevant actual managers of production safety, and they should manage safety while managing production and operation activities.

Does the safety officer manage production? The safety officer does not care about production.

Because the safety officer does not care about production, the safety officer does not have the actual responsibility or main responsibility for safety management in production activities, but the supervision responsibility. The safety officer should be a supervisor of safety production.
Therefore, theoretically or in terms of management standards, the main responsibility for safety production management should not be borne by the safety officer, but should be borne by the legal representative of the enterprise, the actual controller of the production activities of the enterprise, the main technical person in charge of the enterprise, and the responsible person and person in charge of each production management activity of the enterprise, including the project manager, the construction worker and the production team leader on the construction site. We cannot change the responsibility of "managing production must manage safety" into "managing production regardless of safety", and evolve into safety managed by safety officers, but the real leaders and implementers of safety production management have no responsibility for safety production management.
The supervisor must be a third-party responsible person, that is, a supervisor outside the safety management leader and implementer. The leaders (main responsible persons), implementers and supervisors of safety production management jointly build a stable "triangle" framework for safety production management. The triangle stability is proved and applied again in safety production management, otherwise the safety production management framework will be unbalanced.
Since it is a supervisor, the safety officer is different from the specific leader and implementer. He is not responsible for the specific safety production work, daily safety production management affairs and safety operation, but is responsible for supervising and inspecting the safety production work, daily safety production management affairs and safety operation. The biggest feature of supervision and inspection of safety production management is the word "right, that is, it can have the right to punish the leaders and implementers of production safety management for their violations and order them to stop the violations, including the ability to stop the leaders of production safety management from commanding violations and ordering risky operations. If you lose the right to punish the leaders and implementers of production safety management for violations and order them to stop violations, it is really not a safety officer in the strict sense.
The safety officer is actually the safety production supervisor. The newly revised "Safety Production Law" specifically adds specific requirements for the responsibilities of safety production management personnel. This specific requirement should become the legal responsibilities of enterprise safety production management personnel and must be observed. It is not allowed to arbitrarily change and impose the responsibilities of others on the safety officer.
　　The newly revised "Safety Production Law" newly added provisions on the responsibilities of safety production management personnel (see "Safety Production Law" Article 22) are:
(I) organize or participate in the formulation of its own safety production rules and regulations, operating procedures and emergency rescue plans for production safety accidents;
(II) organize or participate in the work safety education and training of the unit, and truthfully record the work safety education and training;
(III) supervise and implement the safety management measures for major hazard sources of the unit;
To (IV) organize or participate in emergency rescue drills of the unit;
(V) inspect the safety production status of the unit, timely investigate the hidden dangers of production safety accidents, and put forward suggestions to improve the management of production safety;
To (VI) stop and correct the behaviors of commanding against rules and regulations, forcibly operating at risk, and violating operation rules;
(VII) supervise the implementation of the unit's safety production rectification measures.
　　Safety production management personnel a total of seven statutory duties.Three of the seven responsibilities are "organization or participation" and two are "supervision and implementation". It can be seen that there are five in total. In principle, these five responsibilities are not the responsibility of the safety officer alone, but "check... timely investigation... put forward... opinions" and the main person in charge of the enterprise "supervise and inspect the safety production work of the unit, there are also great differences in the responsibilities of" timely elimination of hidden dangers of production safety accidents ". One is to check the" safety production status ", the other is to check the" safety production work ", one is to" timely investigate "hidden dangers and put forward opinions, and the other is to" timely eliminate "hidden dangers,The most important one of the six responsibilities is to "stop and correct the behavior of illegal command, forced risk operation and violation of operation rules"This is an important landmark responsibility for production safety managers to distinguish them from other responsible persons for production safety.
The three responsibilities of "organization or participation" and "supervision and implementation" of safety production management personnel are indeed related to other relevant personnel, and relevant personnel may bear greater responsibilities.
For example, the legal duties of the main person in charge of the enterprise or the person in charge of the project include: "establish and improve the safety production responsibility system of the unit", "organize the formulation and implementation of the safety production rules and regulations and operating procedures of the unit", "organize the formulation and implementation of the safety production education and training plan" and "organize the formulation and implementation of the emergency rescue plan for production safety accidents of the unit" (see Article 18 of the Safety Production Law), that is to say, the three responsibilities of "organization or participation" related to safety production management personnel are originally the responsibilities of the main person in charge of the enterprise or the person in charge of the project. Safety production management personnel mainly participate in or help the main person in charge of the enterprise or the person in charge of the project to organize the relevant work under the arrangement or entrustment of the main person in charge of the enterprise or the person in charge of the project.
For example, the two "supervision and implementation" responsibilities of safety production management personnel are also related to the "supervision and inspection of the safety production work of the unit and the timely elimination of hidden dangers of production safety accidents" of the main person in charge of the enterprise or the person in charge of the project. The main point of their responsibilities is to urge the main person in charge of the enterprise or the person in charge of the project to eliminate the hidden dangers of production safety.
Therefore, in addition to the six responsibilities of "organization or participation" and "supervision and implementation", the most important thing for safety production management personnel is to be able to perform"Stopping and correcting the behaviors of commanding against rules and regulations, forcibly taking risks and violating operation regulations"If this power cannot be fulfilled, it cannot be called a safety officer in the true sense, and it also violates safety production laws and regulations.
