IV. Implementation Steps
The pattern of¡°combining vertical lines of leadership with horizontal lines
of leadership, taking¡®horizontal lines of leadership¡¯as the principal¡±shall be
adopted in the present work of screening and rectifying potential fire hazards,
and such work shall be implemented in four stages:
1.The stage of mobilization and arrangement(from now on to the third ten-day
stage of September). All districts and counties shall, in the light of actual
circumstances, draw up the plan for the work of screening and rectifying
potential fire hazards in their respective areas, and make known to the society
in time the scope, key contents and work requirements of screening and
rectification of potential fire hazards.
2. The stage of self-check and self-rectification (from the third ten-day
stage to the second ten-day stage of October).The persons responsible for safety
from fire accidents of all units shall, according to the requirements of
the¡°Suggestions on Further Carrying out the Responsibility System for the Work
of Fire Fighting and Prevention¡±made by the Ministry of Public Security, the
Ministry of Supervision, and the State Administration of Safe Production
Supervision and the¡°Regulations on the Administration over the Safety from Fire
Accidents in Organs, Organizations, Enterprises and Institutions¡±promulgated by
the Ministry of Public Security, and the related standards and norms for fire
fighting and prevention technology, conduct an all-round self-check against the
key contents of the screening and rectification of potential fire hazards. In
respect of the potential fire hazards found out in the check, those belonging to
the type subject to immediate rectification must be rectified immediately; in
respect of those belonging to the type subject to limited-time rectification,
the responsible persons, limit of time and measures for the rectification must
be ensured, and the measures to ensure safety must be adopted during the stage
of rectification; where safety from fire accidents cannot be ensured, the units
concerned shall stop by themselves the production or business at the hazardous
spots for rectification. All units shall, after finishing the self-check and
self-rectification, fill out the uniform¡°Unit¡¯s Letter of Promise on the
Self-check and Self-rectification of Potential fire Hazards¡±(attached) , and
submit it to the district/county work group for screening and rectifying
potential fire hazards in the locality before the end of October 20, and at the
same time submit the same letter to the competent administrative department of
their own trade or setup if they have their own competent administrative
departments.
3.The stage of centralized administration (from the third ten-day stage of
October to the first ten-day stage of November). All district/county work groups
for screening and rectifying potential fire hazards shall organize force to
conscientiously launch supervision and inspection on the screening and
rectifying work in their own administrative areas. On this basis, the competent
administrative departments of trades and setups shall launch re-inspection on
their subordinate units¡¯screening and rectifying work. All district/county work
groups for screening and rectifying potential fire hazards shall conduct
supervision and check on the situation of the re-inspection by the competent
administrative departments of trades and setups and the situation of self-check
and self-rectification by the units without competent administrative
departments, and order the departments and units whose work is not well done and
measures are not implemented to make rectification within a prescribed time
limit until the potential fire hazards are completely eliminated; and urge them
to rectify one by one the serious potential fire hazards not yet rectified and
put forward specific rectification suggestions. The public security fire
departments at all levels shall strictly fulfill their function of supervision
over fire fighting and prevention, and in the light of different situation,
order rectification on the spot or within a prescribed time limit according to
law, order a stop of construction, use or production/business, and impose on the
related responsible persons the administrative punishment such as warning, fine
or detention. All district/county work groups for screening and rectifying
potential fire hazards shall, prior to November 5, submit a report on the
situation of screening and rectifying potential fire hazards to the Municipal
Office for the Work of Screening and Rectifying Potential Fire Hazards.
During the stage of centralized rectification, the public security department
shall, in the name of the government at the same level, hang the warning plate
of¡°Units with Serious Potential Fire Hazards¡±clearly marking the spots with
serious potential fire hazards, the limit of time and responsible persons for
the rectification in the conspicuous position of the unit that has been
confirmed as having serious potential fire hazards after the approval of the
municipal or district/county work group for screening and rectifying potential
fire hazards, and make them known to the society. Governments at all levels
shall actively coordinate related functional departments in urging the
implementation of the rectification measures according to their respective
functions and duties until the potential fire hazards have been completely
rectified. The¡°work group¡±shall launch inspection on the situation of the
performance of the rectification of the serious potential fire hazards under the
superintendence of all districts and counties, and according to related laws and
regulations, severely investigate and affix the responsibility of the related
leaders and persons that exercise weak leadership, enforce law loosely, practise
fraud or neglect duty.
4.The stage of supervisory check and summarization(the second ten-day stage
of November). The¡°work group¡±shall form a certain number of teams to conduct
on-the-spot supervisory check and acceptance check on the work of screening and
rectifying potential fire hazards in all districts and counties (the form and
timing of the supervisory check and acceptance check to be notified separately),
and explore the establishment of a long-term mechanism to consolidate the
achievements made in the screening and rectification work.
V. Work requirements
1. All districts and counties and related departments shall, proceeding from
the height of practising the important thought of Three Represents and sticking
to the ruling for the people, fully understand the importance of the present
work of screening and rectifying potential fire hazards, earnestly enhance the
sense of duty, and adopt feasible and effective measures to ensure this work
develops in a really effective manner.
2.The departments of public security, fire fighting and prevention, safety
supervision and control, supervision, education, construction, commercial
affairs, culture, public health, industry and commerce and tourism at all levels
shall extend close cooperation with a concerted effort, coordinate the
resolution of the major problems arising in the screening and rectification work
to form a joint force. The competent administrative department of all setups
shall perform their own duty and function, further intensify the work of
supervising and urging the screening and rectification of potential fire hazards
within their own setup or trade, further strengthen units¡¯awareness of the
responsibility subject for potential fire hazards in order to truly
realize¡°self-check on safety from fire accidents and self-elimination of
potential hazards¡±.
3. All press units shall earnestly strengthen publicity and educate the broad
masses to actively participate in the activity of screening and rectifying
potential fire hazards, and raise their awareness of safety from fire accidents
and the capability of extinguishing fire and saving themselves. Publicity shall

mechanism for the announcement of serious potential fire hazards, the system for
reporting potential fire hazards, the systems for superintending serious
potential fire hazards and the mechanism for appraising the danger of fire
accidents and the capability of safeguarding safety from fire accidents, and
bring the work of screening and rectifying potential fire hazards into the orbit
of systemization, normalization and regularization. By means of the
establishment of a long-acting mechanism, the¡°passive defense¡±shall be changed
to¡°active attack¡±to achieve that not only old potential fire hazards can be
screened and rectified in time, but also the multiplication of new potential
fire hazards can be prevented and reduced in order to decrease the occurrence of
fire accidents to the minimum.
