Recently, the Shanxi Provincial Department of Emergency Management, the Shanxi Provincial Department of Natural Resources, and the Shanxi Bureau of the National Mine Safety Administration jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Non-Coal Mine Infrastructure Construction to Promote High-Quality Development," which clearly set the goal of "replacing workers with mechanization and reducing personnel through automation" to promote the upgrading of non-coal mine infrastructure and enhance intrinsic safety levels, and implement tailored measures to advance the quality improvement and transformation of non-coal mines across the province. The Guiding Opinions require that new (renovated or expanded) mines incorporate mechanization and automation equipment applications into the overall planning and design and construct them simultaneously; existing mines shall formulate "one mine, one policy" upgrade and transformation plans, avoiding a "one-size-fits-all" approach; minimize the number of workers entering the mine per shift to the greatest extent, and basically achieve reduced-manning or unmanned operations in hazardous, strenuous, dirty, and difficult positions, thereby curbing all types of production safety accidents and promoting the safe and high-quality development of mines.
