[Integrated] State Administration of Work Safety to clean up subordinate associations: There are associations as red top brokers to earn millions

“Several people will collect money when they go under a coal mine and don’t invoice every ten thousand yuan for each mine.” Recently, the reporter heard such an example in an interview with the State Administration of Safety Supervision: Guangxi Coal Mine Safety from 2010 to 2015. Technical Association under the banner of Guangxi Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, to the coal mining enterprises engaged in "on-site verification of safe production conditions," a total of 5 years to verify the mine 89 pairs, illegal collection of costs 1,291,800 yuan.

Guangxi Coal Mine Safety Technology Association is a subordinate association of Guangxi Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau. There are a number of associations in the safety supervision system that existed. As of the tenth round of the Central Round of inspections, there were only eight members of the State Safety Supervision Bureau Party Group. These association societies should have played a bridge between the government, the enterprise, and the market, providing intermediary professional services such as academic research, business training, and technical consulting. However, due to the fact that most of the industry associations have emerged from government departments, in the reform of the administrative examination and approval system, the functional separation is not in place, together with the lack of supervision and other factors, the associations of industry associations and government departments are unclear in terms of authority, under the banner of the government for personal gain, etc. The phenomenon occurs from time to time.

For these issues in the Institute, the State Administration of Safety Supervision issued a relevant policy in 2015 that required strengthening the supervision of security intermediary services. In the same year, it thoroughly cleaned up the nine intermediary services involved in administrative examination and approval. However, from the actual effect, See, treatment does not remove the root. Until the tenth round of the Central Inspection Station, the Association still has outstanding problems. On October 14, 2016, when the Central Inspection Team of the Central Committee sent feedback to the Party Group of the State Administration of Safety Supervision, it was clear that the Association had learned to act as a “red top agency” and “two governments,” and that “the problem of relying on organs to eat enterprises” was outstanding. Make great efforts to resolve and accelerate the reform of association society.

“The issues pointed out by the inspections are objective and fair, and the key issues are determined by the Party group of the General Administration of Administration. The relevant person in charge of the State Administration of Safety Supervision stated that the Party Committee of the General Administration of Administration should further enhance the “four consciousnesses” and deeply investigate the root causes of the rectification process. China firmly resolutely took full responsibility for the party’s main responsibility and resolved outstanding problems in the association’s existence.

With responsibility, the problem began to break ice. At the beginning of the rectification, some association societies still wait and see. In this regard, the Leading Group of the General Administration of Bureaux Inspection and Corrective Work hears progress reports every two weeks. The office of the Leading Group has convened the Association’s responsible person for five times to hold talks, explain the policies and put forward requirements, and insisted on issuing one issue of inspection and correction work per week. "Newsletter", informed the whole improvement of the exhibition. “The Party and Party Committee of the General Administration of Administration regards inspection and rectification as an important political task, adheres to high standards and strict requirements, enforces responsibilities at various levels, and effectively promotes the implementation of the tasks of rectification and reform,” said the Director General of the General Administration of Development.

Pressure conduction is in place. See correct chapter for rectification actions. Regarding the arbitrary charging of the Coal Mine Safety Technology Association of Guangxi, the party group of the State Administration of Safety Supervision immediately ordered the party group of the Guangxi Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau to investigate and deal with it. “Our supervisory responsibilities have not been put in place. We are responsible for this and we will profoundly review it.” The Party Group of the Guangxi Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau requested the Guangxi Coal Mine Safety Technology Association to completely stop the coal mine safety inspection work and instructed the Association while making written inspections to the Party Group of the General Administration of Administration. To carry out the reelection election, change the leadership of the association, and refund the inspection and recovery fees for the relevant coal mines. As of November 30, 2016, with the exception of RMB 50,000 due to the closure of the small coal mines, the rest of the illegal collection fees of RMB 1.2481 million was fully returned to the relevant coal mining enterprises.

Not only for Guangxi, in the self-examination of the system of the General Administration of Management, the China Occupational Safety and Health Association and the China Cableway Association, which have such problems of arbitrary charges and indiscriminate evaluations, have successively turned their illegal proceeds into the state treasury. “The inspection and rectification is a matter of facts. The Party and the General Administration attach great importance to it. We have also felt the heavy pressure. We must consciously take responsibility for actual actions and implement the requirements of the Central Government to complete the task of rectification.” The relevant person in charge of the China Cableway Association told reporters .

The inspections found that the problem must be rectified. The rectification is not just a simple matter of the matter, but it is also necessary to investigate the cause of the illness and thus eliminate the disease. The reason why the Association of Industry Associations can act as the “red top agency” and the “two governments” is that the main reason is that they rely on government departments, interweave with people's property and belongings, and have close contact with each other. In the rectification, the party committee of the State Administration of Safety Supervision and Administration of the People's Republic of China (SEPA) focused on eliminating the administrative color of the Association, and rectifying the association’s use of administrative resources, illegal borrowing from enterprises and public institutions, and non-compliance of employees with part-time employment to promote the decoupling of associations from administrative agencies.

On October 26, 2016, the brand of the three associations, China Coal Industry Association, China Occupational Safety and Health Association, and China Safety Production Association, which had been in front of the office building of the National Security Supervision Bureau for nearly 10 years, was quietly removed. In the provincial coal mine safety supervision bureaus of 26 provinces, Heilongjiang, Anhui, Shandong, Gansu and other provincial coal mine safety supervisory bureaus have also withdrawn the association brand that had been hanging in front of the office buildings for many years.

At the same time, the Party Committee of the General Administration of State Affairs addressed the issue of the eight national association societies in the office of the General Administration of Administration. At the end of 2017, all the office buildings that should be retired will be retired. In response to the association’s unreasonable borrowers, the Party Group of the General Administration of Administration requested a thorough clean-up. Of the original 42 members of the China Occupational Safety and Health Association, 16 were borrowed from public institutions and enterprises. At present, 13 people have withdrawn their borrowing relationship and returned to their original units. One person voluntarily lifted his labor contract with the original unit and continued to use his contractual status. Stay in the association. In addition, the General Administration of Administration also requires the associations to conduct investigations on the status of appointments and rehirings in associations, to punish those who violate the evasion system, further standardize the recruitment of personnel, and thoroughly clean up the problem of unauthorized persons; The issue of remuneration and non-compliance was also dealt with.

"Downplaying the administrative ambiguity and clearing the interests and interests of the associations and associating them with each other, the key is to clarify the functional boundaries of associations and the General Administration of Administration, and to achieve the separation of government and society and the separation of functions." Responsible person in charge of the State Administration of Safety Supervision The introduction said that in the past, some industry associations were authorized to carry out evaluation projects, and they were not cleared in time after the project expired, which provided opportunities for industry associations to criticize and irregularly charge. During this rectification, the General Administration of China issued a notice specifically requesting the abolition of relevant documents of the review project carried out in violation of the regulations, and promptly stripping away the administrative functions that should not be possessed by the industry association. Among them, the China Occupational Safety and Health Association has abolished 19 documents related to safety community assessments involving violations.

At present, according to the principle of “pilot first, step by step and steadily advance”, the party committee of the General Administration of State in accordance with the “Overall Plan for the Uncoupling of Trade Association Chambers of Commerce and Administrative Institutions” issued by the China Affairs Office and the State Council, is promoting the delinking of the association. Among the associations administrated by the Party and the Party, the China Fireworks and Firecrackers Association has completed its decoupling, and the decoupling of the China Cableway Association will be completed by August of this year. The delinking of other associations is proceeding in an orderly manner in accordance with the overall deployment of the country. “The patrol is a political examination that not only discovers problems, but also promotes reforms and solves the problem both at the same time.” The relevant person in charge of the State Administration of Safety Supervision said that with this visit as a turning point, the Party Group of the General Administration of Administration will further reduce the responsibility for governing the party and the party. Taking practical actions to implement the central government's requirements and decision-making for safety supervision and supervision.
