BEIJING, February 19 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Emergency Management will dispatch inspection teams to strengthen comprehensive supervision of fireworks safety, the ministry said.
On Wednesday, the Ministry of Emergency Management and the Office of the Industrial Safety Commission of the State Council held a joint meeting to call for stronger oversight at all stages—the production, transportation, sale, and launch of fireworks—and for measures to raise public awareness of their safety.
The Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and Lantern Festival mark the peak of firecracker and firework use, accompanied by increased safety risks, the meeting announced. Local authorities were urged to increase their focus on safety and promptly conduct inspections to identify and address safety hazards in retail stores and outlets.
Efforts must be made to curb risky practices such as excessive stockpiling and placing merchandise outside stores. Smoking and the use of open flames inside stores are strictly prohibited, the meeting participants warned.
Enhanced inspections should be carried out at key sites, including unused premises/buildings and warehouses, to prevent the illegal storage of pyrotechnic products, it was also said at the meeting. -0-
