The city government held a safety production conference yesterday to urge departments at all levels to take precautions against any potential accident that may cause major casualties or bad social effects during the coming Spring Festival.
"The Spring Festival holiday is a peak period for accidents, so the city will strengthen its supervision of security issues during the runup to the Chinese Lunar New Year," Mayor Han Zheng told the meeting.
Yesterday's meeting took place following a national television conference on safety production broadcast from Beijing.
Han said the government's efforts would focus on three aspects during the following several days.
First, inspections will be enhanced mainly on dangerous chemical companies, pyrotechnics and public entertainment venues.
Secondly, road traffic and railway departments will work hard to ensure a safe and smooth transport environment.
"The number of drunk drivers is usually on the rise during the holiday time," said Han, adding local railway authorities should also ensure migrants can return to their hometown for the Spring Festival.
Finally, Han appealed to local manufacturers to make good use of the week-long vacation to thoroughly examine equipment.
"It is an ideal time to upgrade the facilities and discover hidden perils," he said, stressing that there must be staff on duty during the holidays.
