Compared to the explicit breakthroughs in equipment such as the "Kirin 1" wireless electronic detonator and unmanned intelligent production line, another implicit mainline supporting the safety chassis of the civil explosive industry——Safety management systemThe past year has also undergone a profound restructuring. If equipment is compared to the "bones" and "muscles" of blasting operations, then the safety management system is the "brain" and "nerve" that connects all "bones" and "muscles". In 2026, under the strong guidance of a series of intensive policies and regulations issued by the country, the safety management of civil explosives has achieved a leap from "passive response" to "active prevention and control", and from "post event accountability" to "predictive correction".
On January 1, 2026, the revised "Implementation Measures for the Sales License of Civil Explosives" officially came into effect. This new regulation, known as the "strictest in history," has tightened the safety threshold from the source of sales licenses. The new "Measures" require sales venues and dedicated warehouses to not only design structures and meet safety distance standards, but also ensure that fire prevention, explosion prevention, lightning protection, anti-static and other equipment and facilities comply with the latest national standards. In addition, the safety evaluation report must be verified by the evaluation agency and included in the attachment - this means that every sales enterprise must undergo a "full body CT scan" before obtaining certification, completely ending the previous data review mode-5。
At the same time, in January 2026, the Safety Production Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology deployed a nationwide safety production inspection and major accident hazard investigation and rectification work, requiring the formation of a three-level three-dimensional inspection structure of "full coverage inspection once a month in banner counties and districts, full coverage inspection once a quarter in league cities, and full coverage inspection twice a year in autonomous regions"-1This move is vividly referred to by the industry as' installing 'security cameras' on all civilian explosive companies and positions'. In response to the long-standing regulatory blind spots in the civil explosives industry, public security agencies in many parts of the country have simultaneously revised their administrative inspection plans for enterprises in the same year. They have included blasting operation units, safety management of civil explosives, and qualification management of blasting personnel in the "double random, one public" spot check list. At least one comprehensive "physical examination" will be conducted annually, and previously overlooked "capillary" risk points such as temporary storage and personnel files will be identified,Formally included in the law enforcement scope of the system-41。
Industry experts point out that this "package" regulatory upgrade plan essentially upgrades the safety management of the civil explosive industry from an emergency mode of "treating the head and feet" to a "full cycle, full coverage, and standardized" institutional reshaping. More noteworthy is that in March 2026, the draft of the "Guidelines for the Construction of the Civil Explosive Industry Standard System (2026-2030)" was released for comments, with plans to revise a total of 30 intelligent manufacturing standards by 2030 and establish a relatively complete group of intelligent manufacturing standards-15From sales licenses to production inspections and industry standards,The institutional framework of "strong regulation" is being fully finalized。
If the first step is to fill the loopholes in the system on paper, then the second step is to truly make safety management visible and manageable. Blasting equipment itself has strict testing and operation procedures, but unsafe human behavior is always a variable that is difficult to cure. From 2025 to 2026, a group of civil explosive enterprises at the forefront of technology will take the lead in integrating artificial intelligence with safety management, transitioning from "civil defense" to "technical defense".
In Inner Mongolia, all hazardous positions in the loading process of industrial explosive production lines have achieved 100% "machine replacement", and multiple enterprises have introduced AI technology to achieve dynamic monitoring and active alarm, promoting safety management from passive response to intelligent pre control-17Among them, the "BCJ-Q (II) on-site mixed ammonium deep fryer truck upgrade research and development" project and the "ZN explosive production raw and auxiliary material intelligent loading and storage equipment and remote centralized control system" project have passed the technical achievement appraisal, promoting the unmanned and digital management upgrade of key links of hazardous chemicals-17。
A more representative project is the "Research on the Integration of Civil Explosive Safety Production Control AI Large Model and Intelligent Inspection Equipment" developed by Hubei Kailong Co., Ltd. This project has built a "three-level" intelligent security system covering the group, production points, and production lines: a real-time database platform based on heterogeneous sources is used to achieve multi system data fusion and millisecond level reading and writing; Intelligent detection algorithm for overstaffing in complex scenarios, with recognition accuracy surpassing traditional YOLO models; Equipment hazard analysis technology based on big data mining can analyze fault characteristics from historical data and achieve predictive maintenance-18After the system runs, security monitoring gradually replaces traditional manual inspections, achieving the goal of "fewer people, more accurate, and real-time"-18In version 2.0, a specialized AI model for the safety production of civil explosives has been further established. The intelligent inspection robot can achieve over 90% accuracy in detecting overloading and quickly identifying key equipment abnormalities in typical civil explosive scenarios-18。
In the past, security officers relied on staring with their eyes and handwritten notes, but now AI can stare at every workstation 24 hours a day, and even one less person or one wrong action cannot escape the algorithm. ”By the end of 2025, the unmanned powder emulsion explosive production line has passed the scientific and technological achievement appraisal, completely bidding farewell to the "high-risk dependence" of Class 0 hazardous equipment, marking a new stage of "safety intelligence" in industrial explosive production-Along; tumult; Svg width = ngth; quot; 14 hereby; quot; Height = rhorn; quot; 14 hereby; quot; Viewbox = NNA & rdquo; quot; 0 0 14 14; quot; Fill = ln & quot; quot; Mschap untold; quot; Xmlns = nahy & rdquo; quot; http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ; -ordinary; gt;
The dual wheel drive of system and technology is certainly important, but the ultimate test of the effectiveness of safety management is always "on-site". The series of typical accidents and law enforcement cases that occurred in 2025 have sounded an alarm for the industry——Systems cannot be left on paper, technology cannot be limited to screens, and the last line of defense for safety is at every job site。
On February 17, 2025, a blasting accident occurred underground at the Malian Tai coal mine of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group, resulting in 9 serious injuries and 2 minor injuries, with a direct economic loss of 5.638 million yuan. The investigation found that the direct cause of the accident was the illegal exposed blasting at the scene, which raised coal powder to a detonation concentration and caused coal dust explosion. The deeper issue directly points to management loopholes:Failure to implement the "three person chain blasting" system, failure to clear remaining explosive detonators, failure to timely clean up floating coal, failure to take measures to sprinkle water and reduce dust, and ineffective safety risk control-37The lesson of this accident is extremely profound: no matter how advanced the technical means are, if the on-site personnel do not operate according to the regulations, the safety line will still collapse.
Almost at the same time, two typical illegal cases announced by the Quanzhou Public Security Bureau are equally thought-provoking: one is that the custodian entered incorrect information into the system without confirming the actual usage of detonators, resulting in a discrepancy between the flow information and the actual usage; Another issue is that blasting operators carry detonators and explosives simultaneously - national standards clearly require that the two must be transported, carried, and stored separately. This means that placing the detonation source and explosion source directly under the same control can easily lead to explosion accidents in the event of a collision-34。
In the joint supervision and inspection conducted by the Shaanxi Provincial Emergency Management Department in July 2025, as many as 180 hidden dangers were found: some enterprises' explosive warehouses had high air humidity, which caused the packaging of explosives to become damp, some enterprises did not implement the flow registration system of "daily counting, weekly verification, and monthly inspection", some enterprises had unqualified personnel participating in the loading and unloading of explosives, some transportation enterprises had temporary stopping locations without dedicated personnel for management and supervision, and there were blind spots in supervision-41。
It is these lessons of blood and fire that have prompted regulatory departments at all levels to carry out follow-up governance with a "strict punishment and law" attitude. Warning analysis meetings were held in various regions to review the accident cases, and the competent authorities held 13 relevant responsible persons seriously accountable. Among them, 2 blasting workers and others were transferred to judicial authorities-37-Along; tumult; Svg width = ngth; quot; 14 hereby; quot; Height = rhorn; quot; 14 hereby; quot; Viewbox = NNA & rdquo; quot; 0 0 14 14; quot; Fill = ln & quot; quot; Mschap untold; quot; Xmlns = nahy & rdquo; quot; http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ; -ordinary; gt;
Looking back at the past year, the three major leaps in safety management in the civil explosive industry were not accidental. At the end of 2025, the "Implementation Plan for the Implementation of the National Intelligent Manufacturing Standard System Construction Guidelines in the Civil Explosive Industry" was officially released, which clarified the goal of widely promoting the application of unmanned production lines for civil explosive products and achieving the goal of no fixed position operators in high-risk production workshops by the end of 2027-Along; tumult; Svg width = ngth; quot; 14 hereby; quot; Height = rhorn; quot; 14 hereby; quot; Viewbox = NNA & rdquo; quot; 0 0 14 14; quot; Fill = ln & quot; quot; Mschap untold; quot; Xmlns = nahy & rdquo; quot; http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" ; -ordinary; gt;
The national standard Safety Regulations for Blasting, which is being revised, has formulated refined technical specifications for all six blasting scenarios, including open-air blasting, underground blasting, high-temperature blasting, underwater blasting and demolition blasting, and has organized simultaneous translation of foreign versions to help "Chinese standards" play a role in the the Belt and Road Project-29-10The "trio" of civil explosive safety management is becoming increasingly harmonious and sustainable, from institutional restructuring to intelligent supervision and then to promoting reform through cases. When drones begin to patrol dangerous areas, when AI models begin to warn of equipment failures, and when every system truly falls into the lines of the operating manual - safety is no longer just a slogan.
