- Abstract
- This paper investigates the security role of “three laws and one regulation” on coal mine safety production in China. The effects of “three laws and one regulation” through a dummy variable formulate a theoretical basis for comparative analyzing the direction and magnitude of “three laws and one regulation” since 1990. The fundamental regression model for describing the relationship between the death rate per million tons coal and five key indicators on coal mine safety production was established. The results show that the security role of “three laws and one regulation” made the death rate reduced by 0.531 persons per million tons coal. “PRC Mine Safety Law” and “PRC Coal Law” did not have the desired effect of reducing the death rate, and the ratio of security role of “PRC Safety Production Law” and "the Regulation of Reporting and Investigating Production Accident” on coal mine death rate-reducing is about 4:5. The more detailed penalties rules of law, the stronger operability in the implementation process. The terms of economic penalties and sanctions would be closely consistent with the level of economic development, and the stronger law enforcement, the better its implementation.
