We must draw profound lessons, quickly organize forces to conduct a thorough investigation of hidden dangers on all expressways in operation. Relevant departments and units of the Group should draw profound lessons from the collapse disaster on the Mei-Da Expressway, quickly deploy and urge expressway operation management and maintenance units to conduct a comprehensive risk and hidden danger investigation of all expressways that have been put into operation, focusing on investigating potential risks and hidden dangers that may be caused by rainfall on high slopes, bridges, tunnels, high fill sections, half-fill half-excavation sections, special geotechnical subgrades, and waterlogged sections of expressways in operation. Further increase the intensity of patrolling and monitoring of expressways in operation, increase the frequency of patrols, and increase monitoring points if necessary. Further improve contingency plans and measures, strengthen risk prevention, focus on investigating and addressing risks and hidden dangers of expressway toll stations and ramps located at high slopes or steep mountain slopes, and effectively accelerate the progress of rectification of problems and hidden dangers that have been previously discovered. For sections and toll stations that cannot ensure safe passage, resolute measures such as closure and shutdown must be taken to resolutely prevent and curb the occurrence of accidents and disasters.

We must earnestly organize the "three major checks" and "three minor checks" for flood season safety, and adhere to the "three avoidance" principles. We must focus on investigating whether there are any disaster hazards in the "two zones and three plants," temporary fuel depots, and explosives depots, and for those with obvious risks of geological disasters such as mountain floods, debris flows, and landslides, we must strictly implement the "three emergency evacuations," resolutely ensuring that what should be stopped is stopped and what should be evacuated is evacuated. We must focus on the monitoring, early warning, and daily patrol of dangerous and key projects and key parts such as high slopes, deep basements, scaffolding, formwork support systems, and borrow (take) soil yards. We must effectively carry out safety inspections and daily maintenance of important equipment and facilities such as tower cranes, construction elevators, bridge cranes, gantry cranes, activity board houses and light sheds, walls and fences, construction access roads, climbing facilities, edge protection, and temporary electricity. We must comprehensively improve and dredge the drainage systems at construction sites to prevent the occurrence of various production safety accidents and derivative accidents caused by natural disasters.

Meeting Requirements

We must adhere to the bottom-line thinking and strictly implement the duty and standby system during holidays. We must closely monitor weather forecasts and further improve our sensitivity to extreme weather, strictly implement the "1262" early warning response mechanism and the pre-disaster "call response," night "knock-on wake-up," and follow-up verification and response mechanisms to ensure that the last mile of disaster early warning is reached. We must strictly implement the holiday leadership duty and 24-hour duty system to ensure that duty personnel are in place and performing their duties, and strictly prohibit absenteeism and dereliction of duty.
