BEIJING -- China has seen initial results in screening and removing major workplace accident risks nationwide thanks to a special operation launched this year, the Ministry of Emergency Management said Friday.

Over 1,300 provincial working groups and more than 320 ministerial working groups were dispatched to different places to help guide, supervise, and inspect the relevant work during the operation.
More than 14 million yuan (about $1.95 million) in bonuses have been paid in rewards to the public to tip off workplace accidents.
