Study On Evaluation And Improvement Of Coal Mine Emergency Management Capacity

Coal resource is an important foundation for energy and raw materials. China’s coalindustry has made remarkable achievements after nearly a decade of rapid development.Production safety in mining has greatly improved. But all in all, the level of safetymanagement in coal mine is not good enough and studying of emergency management theoryis still needed, especially on the theory of emergency management capability and itsevaluation methods. This paper analyzes China’s coal mine accidents during2001to2013.Based on that, combining with coal mine production safety features, applying the theory ofliterature searches, surveys, factor analysis, fuzzy math etc., coal mine accident features,accident causing factors, emergency management capability indicator system, the evaluationmodel and its improving strategy are studied. The primary works and conclusions are:(1) Combed mine accidents related concepts and classification of coal mine accidents,proposed the objective and subjective perspective of the mine accident causation classification;defined the concept of coal mine emergency management and its capability; analyzed China’scoal mine accidents during2001to2013, concluded that coal mine accidents has the doublefeature; based on accident causation theory, concluded the coal mine accident causationfactors.(2) Built the emergency management capability indicators for coal mine from theperspective of accident causing factors. Staff and organization, plan and system, resource andprotection, monitor and control, command and coordination, recovery and summary arechosen by applying the theory of literature search, questionnaires, factor analysis, andregression analysis. Those primary class indicators and its corresponding secondary indicatorsare defined and tested.(3) Designed a set of criteria of emergency management capability index evaluation incoal mine by depth interview with coal enterprises and expert consultant; Fuzzy math theory is applied on the calculating indicator weights of emergency management capability by use ofquestionnaire survey. Weights of primary and secondary class indicators are calculated in theemergency management capability system. Based on above, built a multi-level fuzzycomprehensive evaluation model for coal mine emergency management capabilityassessment.(4) According to the index system of coal mine emergency management capability,internal strategies for improving emergency management capability are suggested from sixaspects of staff and organization, plan and system, resource and protection, monitor andcontrol, command and coordination, recovery and summary. Meanwhile, suggestions areproposed from aspects of regulations and policies, trade management, small coal minescontrol, coal enterprise management, supervision and law enforcement etc.(5) Selected two coal mines in an energy group as the research object and the emergencymanagement capability are evaluated by applying the built capability evaluation index system.Analyzed and concluded the overall level of emergency management capability in coal mines.Then found the main problem of emergency management in two mines is that the level ofcommand and coordination is falling behind. And improved suggestions are proposed in thepaper.Above research results supplied and improved the related theory of coal mine emergencymanagement. It has an important practical significance for strengthening emergencymanagement work, avoiding and responding to coal mine accident. At the same time,provided a theoretical basis for government departments to assess the level of coal mineemergency management, and promoting China’s coal industry development.
