ABSTRACT
Coal mine safety supervision is essential in the production of coal. In the current “national monitoring, local supervision, enterprise responsibility” model of coal mine safety supervision, the third party is relatively less involved. Based on the “Internet+” technology, the introduction of third-party participation in the coal mine safety supervision can partly address the issue of government power-seeking and insufficient public participation in the supervision. To address this issue, in this paper we establish the “Internet+” third-party participation model of the coal mine safety supervision based on the multi-party game theory. Using MATLAB simulations, we also show that third-party participation in the coal mine safety supervision improves the safety of the enterprise, then increases the average profit of coal mining enterprises by nearly 229.3%. It further improves the level of coal mine safety production. This confirms that the third party must participate in the coal mine safety supervision. We further analyze the possible ways the third party can participate in the coal mine safety supervision. The “Internet +” coal mine safety supervision information platform is then designed to process the information of different groups in the third party. We also discuss the application and prospect of third-party participation in the coal mine safety supervision. This study provides theoretical support for the third-party’s participation in the “Internet+” coal mine safety supervision.
