The "10·16" Henan Pingyi gas outburst accident caused 37 miners to die. The mine staff said that 22 hours before the mine disaster occurred, there were signs that the mine had too high a gas concentration. Among them, the gas monitor He Zongli, who was on duty, also reported the danger to the upside, but the mine did not take emergency measures. Until the accident occurred, the gas monitors themselves were among the dead miners. (According to the "Beijing News")

According to regulations, in the case of an emergency, the gas monitor has the authority to issue an evacuation order without the need for multiple levels of declaration. However, in the coal mine, the evacuation authority of the gas monitors in 2008 was withdrawn. Moreover, it is strange that the miners clearly discovered the danger and why not refuse the danger?

One answer is obvious. It is very difficult for the miners to refuse their operations before the mines decide to stop the operation. Although miners have the right to refuse homework, they also have the right to vote with their feet, but few people can exercise such rights. In the case of serious imbalances in the voice of both employers and employees, even if the law stipulates that workers have more rights, it may not be useful. For example, paid vacation, refusal to work overtime, refusal of harmful labor environment, etc., have proved to be “water months”. As long as the laborer violates the intention of the employer to exercise such rights, the next step may be to be dismissed. As for "voting with the feet", leaving the crisis-prone coal mines, there is no need to argue again. It has long been said that China’s mining disasters are frequent and cannot be avoided because the Chinese people are too poor – the burden of life is heavy, the employment channels are small, and the social security relief mechanism is underdeveloped. Although the mine is gambling, it can always be found. People who work.

In addition, there is another reason that the miners did not equate the dangerous signs and dangers themselves. It is reported that the gas concentration in the tunnel exceeded the standard on the day before the Pingyu mine disaster, and even reached the super-warning line of 0.6%-0.8%, but did not cause strong resistance from the miners. The only answer is that these miners are dangerous for a long time. Work in the environment has become accustomed to, or numb.

If the miners can respect the life of the miners and the supervision of the functional departments can be in place, then the mines that are difficult to mine may also be safe. In the mining area where safety is in place, safety facilities are in place, safety measures are in place, and some clues of disasters can cause enough attention, it is bound to transmit fear and alert in the mind of each miner. This is the psychological basis for safety precautions. If the miners are dull or numb before the dangerous signs, how can the mines not happen again and again?
