Fellow colleagues, the Spring Festival holiday has ended and enterprises have begun resuming production one after another. We are not sure whether your company has already restarted operations, but as safety professionals, the essential tasks that must be carried out when work resumes cannot be overlooked.
The first priority is to conduct safety education and training for the resumption of work and production. After the Spring Festival holiday, employees' mindset and ways of thinking may not have fully shifted back, so this kind of education and training is needed to restore employees' safety awareness and prevent the so-called "post-holiday syndrome."
The second priority is to carry out safety inspections during equipment trial runs. If equipment was not shut down, that is fine, but most equipment has to be stopped. Before restarting equipment, pre-startup inspections must be done to prevent long periods of inactivity from causing equipment malfunctions that could lead to accidents.
Additionally, warning education must be conducted to strengthen risk awareness and a sense of adversity, firmly establish bottom-line thinking and extreme-case thinking, and constantly keep the string of safety production taut. We should not treat other people's accidents as mere stories; instead, we must deeply analyze every accident, draw lessons from it, extrapolate from one case to others, and use them as reference for our own inspections.
Safety prohibitions should also be reviewed at the same time.
Ten Prohibitions for Electric Welding and Gas Cutting: 1. Without a special operations certificate, do not weld or cut. 2. In rainy weather or open-air operations without reliable safety measures, do not weld or cut. 3. Containers that have held flammable, explosive, or hazardous materials that have not been thoroughly cleaned and not tested for combustible concentration, do not weld or cut. 4. When working inside a container without 12-volt low-voltage lighting and with poor ventilation, do not weld or cut. 5. When equipment is not powered off and pressure is not released, do not weld or cut. 6. When flammable and explosive materials around the work area have not been completely removed, do not weld or cut. 7. When the nature of the workpiece being welded is unclear or the direction of sparks is unknown, do not weld or cut. 8. When safety accessories on equipment are incomplete or ineffective, do not weld or cut. 9. When there is no dedicated supervision and no protective measures inside boilers, containers, and other equipment, do not weld or cut. 10. In no-fire zones where safety measures have not been taken and hot work permits have not been obtained, do not weld or cut.
Ten Prohibitions for Lifting: 1. Do not lift when command signals are unclear or commands are chaotic. 2. Do not lift when overloaded. 3. Do not lift when the workpiece is not securely fastened. 4. Do not lift when there are people on top of the lifted object. 5. Do not lift when safety devices are not functioning. 6. Do not lift when the workpiece is buried underground. 7. Do not lift when lighting is dim and visibility is unclear. 8. Do not lift when pulling at an angle. 9. Do not lift edged or angular objects without protective measures. 10. Do not lift when the molten steel ladle is overfilled.
Ten Prohibitions for Electrical Safety: 1. Electricians without certificates are not allowed to install electrical equipment. 2. No one is allowed to play with electrical equipment and switches. 3. Do not use electrical equipment with damaged insulation. 4. Do not use electric heating devices or light bulbs for warmth. 5. No one is allowed to start electrical equipment that has warning tags attached or fuses removed. 6. Do not wash or wipe electrical equipment with water. 7. When a fuse blows, do not replace it with a fuse of mismatched capacity. 8. Do not drive piles or break ground where cables are buried without completing any required procedures. 9. When someone is electrocuted, immediately cut off the power supply; do not touch the electrocuted person before the power source is disconnected. 10. Do not touch lightning arresters or lightning rods during thunderstorms.
Ten Prohibitions for Working at Heights: 1. Do not climb to heights if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, anemia, epilepsy, severe nearsightedness, or other conditions. 2. Do not climb to heights without supervision. 3. Do not work at heights without wearing a safety helmet, fastening a safety belt, and tightening pant legs. 4. Do not climb to heights when there are winds above force six or rainstorms, heavy snow, or dense fog at the work site. 5. Do not climb to heights when scaffolding or springboards are unstable. 6. Do not climb to heights when ladders lack anti-slip measures or when anti-slip shoes are not worn. 7. Do not climb wellhead frames, gantry frames, or scaffolding, and do not use non-passenger vertical transport equipment to go to heights. 8. Do not climb to heights while carrying heavy objects. 9. Do not climb to heights near high-voltage lines without barriers. 10. Do not climb to heights when lighting is insufficient.
