Poor safety prevention

Human factors, instead of natural disasters, are to blame for deadly production accidents, says an article in People's Daily. The following is an excerpt:

At a meeting on work safety held last week, Li Yizhong, head of the State Administration of Work Safety, said poor safety prevention work, instead of natural disasters, was to blame for the several deadly accidents that have happened lately. He made the remarks when some officials blamed natural disasters for the accidents.

Li angrily disputed this.
