Abstract:
The government and guild play an important role in preventing accidents due to lack of work safety and keeping their occurrence at a low level through supervision and control over work safety of production and business units. In China, the central government and its departments as well as the local governments all have the authority to supervise and control work safety. In the central government level, State Administration of Work Safety has the responsibility to supervise work safety in general while other departments of the State Council shall enforce laws and regulations within their authority. Local governments have territorial regulatory responsibility. Thus coordinating the supervision and control over work safety among governments of all levels and each department has become very necessary. According to the
Legislation Law and the
Work Safety Law, all the governmental agencies mentioned above have independent legislative power within their authority. Thus many independent yet related systems of laws and regulations on work safety have already been established. The disunity and even conflicts of these laws and regulations have caused some problems on supervision over work safety. The amendment of Work Safety Law has provided a solid foundation for coordinating the legislation and law enforcement, which can be taken as an important reference to the legislation of civil aviation security.
