Safety production can be said to be an important cornerstone of economic and social development, and the falsification of safety production qualification certificates is equivalent to an "invisible killer" of safety production. Whether for the safety of every small family or for the stability of society as a whole, we cannot allow the existence of those who are just filling in the numbers, and we must also build a strong defense line for safety production. In less than a year, the defendant Sun Mouqiang colluded with others to forge more than 18700 construction special operation personnel operation certificates, special operation certificates, special equipment operation certificates, etc. - according to a report by The Paper on December 24th, the Supreme People's Court issued a batch of typical cases of punishing the crime of forging safety production qualification certificates in accordance with the law. Some illegal elements, driven by interests, harbor a sense of luck and take risks. Some even form a black and grey industry chain of cross provincial forgery, alteration, buying and selling of safety production qualification certificates, seriously disrupting the order of safety production, endangering public safety, and infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of the people. In recent years, it is not uncommon for some qualification certificates in the field of safety production to be forged. Common special operations such as elevator operation and maintenance, air conditioning installation, as well as live working for electricians, underground mining operations, welding and thermal cutting operations, have all been exposed as cases of employees holding fake certificates to work, including some fatal accidents caused by lack of professional ability, which have taught us a painful lesson. The typical case announced by the Supreme People's Court this time has made people aware of some characteristics of the falsification of safety production qualification certificates. For example, the buyer, seller, online platform, intermediary agency, etc. form a complete transaction chain, and each link cooperates seamlessly; Network information technology is widely used in illegal activities such as forging and altering relevant certificates, which poses difficulties in identifying and cracking down on them. Some groups have set up fake websites that are indistinguishable from the official websites of relevant departments to provide "certificate verification" services, while others have implanted cheating programs into the computers used for qualification certificate exams to help examinees cheat, modify scores, and obtain "fake certificates"; Some employers, due to a large shortage of relevant talents, may easily turn a blind eye to unlicensed or fake employees, and even help them purchase fake certificates to "whitewash" their identities, and so on. Special operations often have complex environments and high risks, and operators must undergo training and obtain corresponding qualification certificates before they can take up their posts. The Safety Production Law of our country also has mandatory provisions on this. However, just a few of the cases mentioned above involve tens of thousands of fake certificates, covering multiple high-risk operation fields - these people who obtain fake certificates are likely to have spread all over the country, engaged in various special operations. Such significant risks and hidden dangers are chilling. In recent years, relevant departments have frequently carried out joint actions to curb the chaos of falsifying safety production qualification certificates and the trend of industrialization and chain of counterfeit crimes. Starting from May this year, nine departments including the Ministry of Emergency Management, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly launched a special campaign to crack down on the falsification of safety production qualification certificates nationwide; In July of this year, the Supreme People's Court issued a notice requiring courts at all levels to severely punish the crime of falsifying safety production qualification certificates in accordance with the law, and promote the advancement of the control of safety production risks and hidden dangers. Several typical cases have also been uncovered and investigated in some places. Strengthening the crackdown on the entire chain and enhancing the linkage among multiple departments, regulatory authorities continue to increase their crackdown and governance efforts, but the operational methods and tricks of some illegal elements are also "upgrading". This poses greater challenges to daily supervision and law enforcement, and relevant work should be more targeted and the crackdown efforts should continue to be strengthened. For example, in addition to "verifying" and "verifying the truth" of practitioners, can we use our brains to "verify skills" and try to achieve the integration of "person, certificate, and technology" as much as possible, without leaving any opportunities for "real person fake certificates" and "fake person real certificates" to take advantage of. The typical case released by the Supreme People's Court this time sends a signal that the punishment is approaching the statutory maximum penalty, and the economic sanctions against criminals are being increased, depriving or weakening their economic ability to commit crimes again, in order to demonstrate a severe punishment attitude. This is expected to achieve greater deterrence and warning. Cracking down on fake certificates is a difficult, complex, and long-term task. At present, in addition to the relevant departments responsible for "certificate management" continuously improving governance measures, enterprises that "use certificates" should also have a conscious commitment to practicing the concept of safety production, making "employment must be verified, verification must be verified, and verification must be on the official website" a basic operation. In the long run, the problem of insufficient number of certified practitioners should also be given more attention and more measures should be taken to address it. Safe production can be said to be an important cornerstone of economic and social development, and the falsification of safety production qualification certificates is equivalent to an "invisible killer" of safety production, threatening the normal production and operation of enterprises and the safety of people's lives and property. Whether for the safety of every small family or for the stability of society as a whole, we cannot allow the existence of those who are just filling in the numbers, and we must also build a strong defense line for safety production.
