The Ministry of Agriculture calls for more measures to promote the safe production of agricultural machinery

The Ministry of Agriculture recently issued a circular requiring departments in charge of agricultural mechanization at all levels to conscientiously implement the spirit of the national teleconference on production safety, earnestly strengthen the supervision and management of production safety of agricultural machinery, reduce and prevent agricultural machinery accidents, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

The circular pointed out that it is necessary to attach great importance to the work of agricultural machinery safety in production, adapt to the new situation of the rapid development of agricultural mechanization and the new requirements of safety development, strengthen the awareness of red lines, comprehensively implement the responsibility system for production safety, and pay close attention to accident prevention and control. to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. We will promote the implementation of the policy of agricultural machinery safety supervision to benefit farmers. We will exempt small and micro enterprises (including individual industrial and commercial households) from administrative fees for agricultural machinery supervision, and strive to expand the scope of exemption to all farmers and cooperatives; we will actively promote the pilot projects of premium subsidies for agricultural machinery insurance, scrapping and renewal subsidies, and the improvement of safety protection performance, and vigorously promote the safety technology of agricultural machinery.

The circular stresses that it is necessary to comprehensively promote safety supervision of agricultural machinery in accordance with the general requirements of full coverage, zero tolerance, strict law enforcement and emphasizing practical results, severely crack down on violations of agricultural machinery safety laws and regulations, such as driving without a license, driving without a license, operating without inspection, issuing licenses in violation of regulations, and concealing false reports of accidents; carry out in-depth production safety inspection to investigate safety risks We should strengthen source management and strive to improve the "license rate", "license holding rate" and "inspection rate" of tractor combine harvesters. Further strengthen emergency handling and accident prevention of agricultural machinery safety. Actively carry out emergency training and emergency drills for agricultural machinery safety, strengthen agricultural machinery accident investigation and emergency rescue work, strive to improve emergency handling capacity, establish a statistical analysis and evaluation system for agricultural machinery accidents, and take effective measures to strengthen accident prevention.

The circular requires that the creation of "safe agricultural machinery" should be carried out in depth. Guide local governments to improve the safety supervision network of agricultural machinery, consolidate the foundation of agricultural machinery safety production, and form a long-term mechanism of agricultural machinery safety supervision with the responsibility of the government, the main grasp of agricultural machinery, the cooperation of departments and the participation of the masses. We will vigorously carry out publicity and training on agricultural machinery safety. Make full use of various media to carry out regular and institutionalized safety education; meticulously organize agricultural machinery "safe production month" activities, go deep into rural markets and field yards to publicize agricultural machinery safety; focus on the safe operation of tractors, harvesters, rotary tillers, shutter machines and other machines, strengthen technical guidance and training, and improve the safe operation level of machines.
