Along with the fast advancement of the marketability and industrialization, the small and medium-sized enterprises growing, the situation of production safety is directly related to the safety of life and property of the masses, and brings widespread implications to the economic development and the social stability. For the underdeveloped areas, because of the economic, management and system factors, the guaranteeing production safety level by the small and medium-sized enterprises is lower, the incidence of production safety accidents is higher, especially in the mining, chemicals, construction, firecrackers and other high-risk areas of industry, production safety contradictions has become increasingly prominent and become a major constraint on the economic and social development of the underdeveloped areas. In view of this, to the work of governance, we must promptly adjust the direction and the mentality of the production safety work, and change ideas from only paid great attention to the large enterprises to each kind of enterprises, especially the small and medium-sized enterprises.
