Since January, the Market Supervision Administration of Etuokeqianqi in Inner Mongolia has launched a targeted special inspection campaign for equipment safety. The initiative focuses on key sectors and critical areas to prevent and mitigate major risks and effectively curb accidents involving special equipment. A comprehensive inspection and rectification effort has been carried out on devices with high public relevance and significant potential hazards, including elevators, pressure vessels, pressure pipelines, boilers, and gas equipment, aiming to fully protect public safety and property.

The authorities have strengthened the implementation of the "Two Regulations" to solidify safety fundamentals. During inspections aligned with holiday market checks, safety supervisors visited key entities using special equipment. They thoroughly examined the establishment and execution of safety management systems, the setup of safety management bodies and staffing, and the implementation of daily control, weekly inspection, and monthly scheduling mechanisms. Additional checks covered equipment testing, usage registration, operator certifications, emergency plans, on-site safety management, and the identification and resolution of potential hazards. For issues identified, such as incomplete technical safety records, inadequate emergency drill practices, and missing safety warning signs, inspectors mandated that companies rectify them within specified deadlines. To date, inspections have covered 14 enterprises, involving 60 personnel, leading to the discovery of 43 safety hazards, all of which are currently under ordered rectification.

Elevator safety has been a major focus due to public concern. Inspections targeted high-frequency usage sites like residential complexes, government service halls, and centralized elderly care facilities. Key areas reviewed included elevator maintenance records, five-party communication systems, and the functionality of emergency alarm devices. Property management and maintenance units were urged to enhance daily inspections and strictly fulfill their safety responsibilities to ensure secure elevator operation in crowded areas. On-site guidance was also provided for emergency rescue drills to improve response capabilities. Public venues have been actively encouraged to obtain full insurance coverage for their elevators. So far, 64 elevators have been inspected, revealing seven safety hazards now under rectification. The elevator insurance coverage rate has reached 65%.

Efforts have also concentrated on key sectors to strengthen risk control. Expert teams were invited to conduct thorough inspections at four special equipment users, including natural gas drilling companies, gas gathering stations, processing plants, and LNG operators. Additional checks were performed on outdoor equipment vulnerable to low-temperature freezing conditions, emphasizing usage registration, equipment testing, and maintenance. The campaign aims to eliminate violations such as using non-compliant equipment, operating beyond inspection deadlines, and employing unlicensed personnel.
