Leading officials in Beijing urged that the safety check needs to be human-centered during their visits to the suburban areas at the center of the ongoing blanket search and investigation campaign.

The campaign, which aims to remove safety hazards in villages, courtyards and companies, came after a deadly fire that claimed 19 lives in the suburban Daxing District on Nov. 18.

Cai Qi, secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the CPC, paid three visits to the place of the fire accident. He called for the city government to learn the lesson from the accident and emphasized the necessity of a blanket safety investigation across the city.

Cai also asked local government to help with the locals and migrant workers' jobs and residence, and he prompted companies to shoulder their due responsibilities.

People's lives and their safety come first, he said. Government officials should resolutely and orderly push the campaign to ensure security of people's lives and properties.

He also called for the local authorities to help the impacted workers by holding job fairs, providing assistance and building subsidized rental housing.

Beijing's acting mayor Chen Jining also conducted field inspections to locations affected by the safety campaign, listened to the suggestions of local government officials, organized meetings to discuss the operation of logistics firms and required local authorities to help prevent businesses from fire and other hazards.

Chen also asked local government officials to gain understanding and support from the local residents by clearly explaining the safety inspection measures and their necessities, as well as offering assistance to the people in need.
