The responsibility system for safety in production is a system in which leaders at all levels, functional departments, engineers and technicians and post operators are responsible for safety in production at all levels in the process of labor production according to the safety policy of "safety first, prevention first and comprehensive treatment" and safety laws and regulations in China. The responsibility system for safe production is an integral part of the post responsibility system of enterprises, the most basic safety system of enterprises, and the core of the management system for safe production and labor protection of enterprises.

Practice has proved that leaders at all levels attach importance to safety production and labor protection in enterprises that have established and improved the responsibility system for safety production, conscientiously implement the party's principles and policies on safety production and labor protection, and actively take measures to improve working conditions while organizing production seriously and responsibly, so as to reduce industrial accidents and occupational diseases. On the contrary, the responsibility will be unclear, people will shirk their responsibilities, so that no one is responsible for safety production and labor protection, and industrial accidents and occupational diseases will continue to occur.
