Coal mine deaths surge in China Wednesday, April 6, 2005 The number of deaths in China's accident-plagued coal mines surged by nearly 21 per cent in the first three months of this year, despite a national safety crackdown, the country's top industrial safety official said yesterday. Fires, cave-ins and other accidents killed 1,113 miners from January to March, up 20.8 per cent over the same period in 2004, said Li Yizhong, the minister in charge of the State Administration for Work Safety. China's coal mines are the world's most dangerous, with thousands of deaths a year blamed on lack of required equipment or indifference to safety rules. Communist leaders have promised repeatedly to tighten standards, but accidents still kill an average of 16 miners a day. AP vancouverplus.workopolis.com
