"Coal mining companies are not allowed to send promoted assistants in place of the managers," Huang Yi, spokesman for the State Administration of Work Safety, was quoted as saying by the official China Daily newspaper. His comments come after a coal mining firm in the southern region of Guangxi recently promoted seven people as 'assistants to managers' to do the bosses' job for them, the report said. A new rule, due to take effect on October 7, requires mine managers to go underground with workers. The idea is that the top brass should share the risks with miners as a way of ensuring companies more closely observe safety rules. China's vast coal mining industry is notoriously accident-prone due to lax regulation, corruption and inefficiency as mines rush to meet soaring demand. Last year 2,631 miners were killed, according to official figures, but independent labour groups say the actual figure could be much higher as many accidents are covered up to avoid costly shutdowns. "To prevent accidents, the coal mine leaders have to go down into the pits with workers and solve the potential safety problems," Huang was quoted as saying. "The managers' assistants cannot be counted as coal mine leaders, which refers to the management, and chief and deputy chief engineers of the coal mine." If the managers deliberately fail to obey the regulation, the company will be liable to fines of up to five million yuan (746,000 dollars) and a ban on production if accidents happen, the report said.
