Work Experience and Reflections


 
Safety work has three major characteristics:
I. Universality
Safety work is closely related to each of us,
Regardless of the position,
What work are you responsible for?
Everyone is connected to safety.
Make it a habit to constantly remind yourself that you are the family’s pillar.
Shouldering responsibility, safety, and risk all at once.
When a safety incident occurs, it not only affects your own work but also impacts the company’s leadership-level planning and directly undermines family well-being.
II. Recurring
Safety work is always with us,
Like one’s own shadow,
Traveling with you.
It’s not that they were caught yesterday,
I finished it today.
You don’t have to worry about it tomorrow.
At all times, we must remain vigilant and take safety precautions in both major and minor matters.
From the moment you get up and open the door to the time you turn off the lights and go to bed,
There is no time or place where safety does not prevail.
During working hours, safety must be prioritized; even during off‑hours, safety should remain a concern.
III. Comprehensiveness
Safety is not just the responsibility of company leadership,
It’s not really anyone’s responsibility either.
As long as there is breath,
As long as there are words or actions—whether in work, daily life, or any aspect of one’s emotions—
All of them will involve safety.
Why do mature companies, large-scale manufacturing plants, and related organizations all establish “safety emergency response teams and contingency plans”?
The “Response Plan” rationally specifies the roles and responsibilities of safety management personnel, as well as the timelines for emergency response and the essential equipment and vehicles required.
A mature and well‑thought‑out “response plan” is the result of lessons learned at great cost—often through the blood and even the lives of others—not something concocted out of thin air by a single individual. We hope that everyone will treat workplace safety with the same care and reverence they accord to their own lives. Too many accidents have tragically ended in loss of life, and sometimes a single incident can devastate multiple families.
This clearly demonstrates the importance and uniqueness of safety work; it is by no means alarmist.
And let’s never treat “other people’s accidents as mere stories”!
 
Here are a few suggestions regarding the garage installation work:
1. At the project site, in addition to the project manager serving as the primary safety officer, 2–3 on-site safety officers should be clearly designated to assist the site manager in ensuring workplace safety.
High-altitude workers receive a corresponding “High-Altitude Work Risk Allowance”; however, receiving this payment does not absolve them of responsibility. In the event of a safety incident, the entire amount of the “High-Altitude Work Risk Allowance” paid to the worker on this project must be reimbursed to the company.
2. At heights exceeding two meters, no work shall be permitted without a safety helmet, a safety harness, and appropriate personal protective equipment. All personnel must remind and supervise one another; no exceptions or justifications are allowed—this is an ironclad rule.
Do not harbor any sense of indifference or wishful thinking. If this issue occurs twice within a single project, it must be reported directly to senior management; upon approval, the employee will be immediately terminated on-site and will never be rehired.
3. On-site safety performance shall be linked to job performance. Employees who demonstrate outstanding achievements or effectively prevent and avert major safety incidents, upon verified confirmation, may receive a reward of 5%–20% of their monthly salary, or be promoted to the next pay grade.
Revising the post-accident compensation into an incentive for effective safety prevention in advance would likely be far more effective and persuasive than conducting safety training and remediation only after an accident occurs.
4. The company shall establish a safety supervision team, and each department shall designate a person responsible for safety. Unscheduled, unannounced on-site safety inspections shall be conducted at project sites. Upon identifying safety hazards or early signs of accidents, 5% to 20% of the monthly salary of the site supervisor and relevant persons accountable shall be deducted and allocated to the company’s safety reserve fund, and the individuals shall be publicly criticized and subjected to joint corrective education.
At the same time, funds should be promptly deposited into the company’s “Safety‑Specific Account” to serve as a contingency fund for handling safety incidents and as an incentive pool for outstanding safety officers.
5. Each project site shall display safety warning signs and safety markings in prominent locations, and post metal‑framed copies of the “On‑Site Safety Management Regulations.” These measures shall serve to constantly remind and supervise on‑site personnel to prioritize safety and implement effective safety precautions.
6. At the garage installation site, priority should be given to preventing high‑altitude falls, mechanical impacts, and electric shocks, while also ensuring fire safety and theft prevention (to avoid loss of materials on site).
