关于实行人民防空工作责任制的通知
关于实行人民防空工作责任制的通知
（国管人防〔2004〕494号，2004年12月28日印发）
中央国家机关各部门、各在京中央企业:
为进一步贯彻落实《中华人民共和国宪法》关于一切国家机关“实行工作责任制”的规定和《中共中央、国务院、中央军委关于加强人民防空工作的决定》（中发[2001]9号，以下简称《决定》）关于“各级领导务必增强政治意识、国防意识、责任意识，认真履行职责。要把人民防空工作的成效，纳入政府任期目标，作为考核政府政绩的一个重要方面”的要求，更好地履行《中华人民共和国人民防空法》（以下简称《人防法》）赋予中央国家机关人民防空主管部门的职责，依法加强对中央国家机关各部门、各在京中央企业（以下简称各部门）人民防空工作的监督和管理，全面落实领导责任和管理责任，现就实行人防工作责任制有关问题通知如下：
一、充分认识实行人防工作责任制的重要性
人民防空是国防的重要组成部分，是国民经济和社会发展的重要方面，是现代城市建设的重要内容，是利国利民的社会公益事业。根据《人防法》和《决定》，各部门承担着贯彻执行人防建设的法律法规，组织本部门及在京直属单位人防工程建设和安全管理、战时防空和平时防灾、重要目标防护和人员防护等涉及国家财产及人员生命安全的重要责任。目前中央国家机关人防工作的总体情况是好的，但也有少数部门的人防工作没有受到应有的重视，人防工作的领导责任和管理责任不明确，管理和监督不到位，违反《人防法》的现象时有发生，《人防法》规定的职责义务不能得到很好地履行。
实行人防工作责任制，有利于全面推进人防工作的依法管理，更好地履行人防工作的责任和义务；有利于明确各级领导和人防部门的职责，有效地落实人防工作的任务和措施；有利于加强人防工程的安全管理，防范各类事故的发生。各部门要充分认识实行人防工作责任制对逐级落实人防工作领导与管理责任的重要作用和对确保各部门战时及平时人员生命与国家财产安全的重要意义，采取有效措施，积极做好这项工作。
二、依法明确人防工作领导与管理责任
按照法人负责制的原则，各部门法定代表人是本部门人防工作的第一责任人，对本部门的人防工作全面负责；各部门人防委员会主要负责人对本部门的人防工作负直接领导责任；受部门法定代表人和人防委主任委托管理人防工作的司局机构主要负责人负具体领导责任；各部门设置的人防工作机构和专兼职人防干部是负责监督和管理本部门人防工作的具体责任单位和责任人。
各部门法定代表人和人防委主任应承担的领导职责是：负责领导本部门及在京直属单位的人防工作；认真组织宣传、贯彻落实《人防法》和有关政策法规；把人防工作摆上议事日程，及时研究解决本部门人防工作中的重大问题；审定本部门人防建设规划和人防工作年度计划，为人防工作的开展提供必要的组织保障、人员保障和经费保障；组织审定本部门防空袭预案、重要目标防护方案和相关应急方案；组织建立人防工作管理机制，逐级落实人防工作责任制，加强监督检查；完成上级人防领导机构布置的工作任务。
受部门法定代表人和人防委主任委托管理人防工作的司局机构主要负责人的具体领导职责是：负责领导和管理在京直属单位的人防工作；贯彻、执行《人防法》和有关政策法规，组织制定本部门人防工作规章制度和管理办法；组织制定本部门人防建设规划和计划，并负责组织实施；组织人防工程建设与维护管理，确保人防工程的战备效能；加强对平时利用人防工程的安全管理，逐级落实安全管理责任制；组织制定本部门战时防空袭预案、重要目标防护方案和相关应急预案；加强人防档案资料、信息统计、经费和资产等管理。
各部门设置的人防工作管理机构和专兼职人防干部的主要管理职责是：负责管理和监督本部门及在京直属单位的人防工作；组织完成上级人防主管部门的工作部署；负责拟定本部门人防工作各项规章制度和工作计划，并组织实施；负责拟定本部门人防建设规划和计划，并组织实施；负责拟定本部门防空袭预案、重点目标防护方案和相关应急预案，并组织演练；负责本部门人防工程建设、加固改造、平时利用项目的审核、报批和监督管理，全面落实人防工程安全管理责任制；负责人防档案资料、信息统计、财务和资产、保密等管理和人防宣传、教育、培训等具体业务工作。
各部门要逐级落实人防工作的领导与管理责任。凡各部门委托下属机构承担人防工作管理任务的，应有正式的委托协议书，委托协议书应在上级人防主管部门备案，要将有关领导责任与管理责任落实到具体机构和人员，并在人员编制和经费上予以保障；受委托机构在确定专兼职人防干部时，应在本部门人事部门正式备案，并经中央国家机关人防主管部门培训考试合格，取得人防行政执法证件后，方可持证上岗。
定期签订《中央国家机关人民防空工作责任书》（以下简称《责任书》，样式附后）是实行人防工作责任制的一项重要内容。《责任书》由中央国家机关人防主管部门根据法律、法规的规定和上级人防主管部门的年度工作要求，结合每年工作实际，于每年1月31日前与各部门或受各部门法定代表人委托领导和管理人防工作的司局级机构主要负责人签订（行政事业单位可盖办公厅或分管人防工作的司局机构印章，中央在京企业盖总公司或集团公司印章）。各部门也应该结合本部门实际，与在京直属单位法定代表人或受委托管理人防工作的负责人签订《责任书》，将各项责任落到实处。
三、认真做好人防工作责任制的评议考核
（一）评议考核的基本要求
评议考核人防工作责任制落实情况，是检验各部门是否依法履行职责和义务的重要措施，是实行人防工作责任制的重要环节。人防工作责任制评议考核应与人防工作目标管理考核结合进行，要按照国务院机关事务管理局、中央国家机关人防委员会印发的《中央国家机关人防工作目标管理暂行办法》（[96]国管办字第35号），重点考核各部门《责任书》签订的情况、人防机构履行职责情况、上级人防部门部署的年度工作重点完成情况等。中央国家机关人防办公室代表国务院机关事务管理局和中央国家机关人防委员会对各部门人防责任制落实情况和目标管理情况组织评议考核。各部门人防办公室代表本部门和本部门人防委对其所属单位人防工作责任制落实情况和目标管理情况进行评议考核。各级人防工作主管部门要重视评议考核，切实做好相关工作。
开展人防工作责任制评议考核工作要本着公开、公平、公正的原则，评议考核结果要通过适当方式在中央国家机关范围内公开。
（二）评议考核的内容
评议考核按照《责任书》和《中央国家机关人防工作目标管理暂行办法》规定的内容进行，包括加强人防工作组织领导、建立健全人防工作责任制、人防工程建设和维护管理、人防工程平时利用和安全管理、人防经费与国有资产管理、人防统计与信息管理、人防文书档案与保密工作管理、人防宣传教育等情况。
（三）评议考核的方法
人防工作责任制评议考核与人防工作目标管理考核于每年11月至12月结合进行，采取自评、部门间互查互评、上级考评相结合的方法，具体要求按中央国家机关人防办公室印发的有关通知执行。
通过评议考核对人防工作责任制全面落实、人防工作成绩突出的部门给予表彰，对未签订《责任书》、不落实人防工作责任制、人防工作开展不力的部门，取消评先资格并给予通报批评。
四、建立人防工作责任追究制度
实行人防工作责任制的关键在于各项人防工作责任的落实。要建立人防工作责任追究制度，对发生问题和责任事故的部门，追究相关人员的责任。
凡未按本通知要求建立人防工作责任制和签订《责任书》的部门，在人防工作管理中发生责任事故，给国家和人民生命财产造成损失的，该部门法定代表人应承担全部责任。
已建立人防工作责任制和签订《责任书》的部门，在人防工作管理中发生责任事故，给国家和人民生命财产造成损失的，该部门法定代表人应承担领导责任，受委托管理人防工作的机构主要负责人应承担直接领导责任，人防机构及专兼职人防干部应承担具体管理和监督的责任。
对在人防工作管理中发生责任事故，给国家和人民生命财产造成损失的有关人员，要按照《人防法》和相关法律法规的规定分别追究其领导责任、具体领导责任、管理和监督责任，人防工作主管部门有权建议有关部门依法给予行政处分；情节严重构成犯罪的，移送司法机关处理。
各部门要按照本通知的要求，切实抓好人防工作责任制的落实。要明确责任，完善制度，注意总结本部门实行人防工作责任制的经验，积极研究解决实行人防工作责任制过程中出现的问题，真正将这项工作抓出成效。
