II. Safety Status of Special Equipment

(1) Overall Accident Situation

In 2023, a total of 71 special equipment accidents and related accidents occurred nationwide, resulting in 69 deaths. Compared with 2022, the number of accidents decreased by 37, a decrease of 34.26%, and the number of deaths decreased by 32, a decrease of 31.68%. No major accidents occurred throughout the year, and the overall safety situation of special equipment was stable. However, indirect accidents involving special equipment showed a high incidence. In 2023, 19 indirect accidents involving special equipment occurred, resulting in 59 deaths.

(2) Accident Characteristics

By equipment category, there were 3 boiler accidents, resulting in 6 deaths; 1 pressure vessel accident, resulting in 2 deaths; 2 gas cylinder accidents, resulting in 1 death; no pressure pipeline accidents; 14 elevator accidents, resulting in 13 deaths; 20 lifting machinery accidents, resulting in 19 deaths; 29 on-site special motor vehicle accidents, resulting in 28 deaths; 1 passenger ropeway accident, and 1 large amusement facility accident, neither of which resulted in any deaths. (See Figures 3 and 4) Among them, on-site special motor vehicles, lifting machinery, and elevator accidents accounted for a large proportion, accounting for 88.73% of the total number of accidents and 86.96% of the total number of deaths.

Figure 3 Number and Proportion of Special Equipment Accidents in 2023

Figure 4 Number of Deaths and Proportion of Special Equipment Accidents in 2023

By occurrence stage, 60 accidents occurred during the use stage, accounting for 84.51%; 9 accidents occurred during the maintenance stage, accounting for 12.68%; 1 accident occurred during the installation and commissioning stage, accounting for 1.41%; and 1 accident occurred during the transportation stage, accounting for 1.41%. (See Figure 5)

Figure 5 Proportion of Special Equipment Accidents by Stage in 2023

By damage form, the main characteristics of accidents involving pressure equipment (boilers, pressure vessels, gas cylinders, pressure pipelines) are explosions, leaks, and fires; the main characteristics of accidents involving electromechanical equipment (lifting machinery, elevators, large amusement facilities, on-site special motor vehicles, passenger ropeways) are falls, collisions, squeezes, and entrapment (detention).

By occurrence time, the number of special equipment accidents was highest in the third quarter and lowest in the first quarter. The main reason is that the third quarter is the summer vacation period, and people's safety awareness is slack, and there are loopholes and blind spots in online monitoring, hidden danger investigation, and safety management, which increases the risk of accidents and makes accidents relatively frequent; the number of special equipment accidents is the least in the first quarter, mainly because the Spring Festival holiday in the first quarter, coupled with the impact of epidemic prevention and control, some equipment is in a state of shutdown. (See Figure 6)

(3) Main Causes of Accidents

By the end of 2023, a total of 45 special equipment accidents had been closed. According to the analysis of the closed case materials, the main causes of accidents are divided into two categories: First, accidents caused by improper use and management, accounting for about 84.44%. Illegal operations are still the main cause of accidents, specifically manifested as operators' illegal operations, improper operations, or even unlicensed operations, lack of maintenance, and poor management. Second, accidents caused by equipment defects and inadequate maintenance, resulting in the failure of safety components and the malfunction of protective devices, accounting for about 15.56%. (See Figure 7)
