In recent inspections of special equipment users across the city, it was found that some of these users had certain misunderstandings regarding the relevant regulations governing special equipment, and their management of both the equipment and personnel was inadequate. For example, the new version of the \"Classification and Criteria for Qualification Certification of Special Equipment Operators\" came into effect on June 1, 2019; this version introduced significant changes to the requirements for obtaining qualifications for operators of special equipment. Certain job categories, such as those with the original codes D1 (inspection and maintenance of pressure pipelines), D2 (plugging under pressure), D3 (sealing under pressure), Q1 (installation and maintenance of lifting machinery), Q2 (electrical installation and maintenance of lifting machinery), Q10 (operators of mechanical parking systems), T3 (elevator operators), and N1 (vehicle repair), were removed. Some corporate managers believe that since these tasks are **not required**, any employee in the company can carry them out; this is actually a serious misunderstanding of the **policies**. **The aim is to streamline procedures and focus on providing a \"service-oriented\" approach, but it is not meant to lower the skill requirements for workers. Article 13 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Safety of Special Equipment stipulates that entities engaged in the production, operation, or use of special equipment shall appoint safety management personnel, inspection personnel, and operational staff in accordance with **relevant regulations, and provide them with the necessary safety education and skill training. ”Therefore, the employing unit must provide necessary training for workers who do not require certification. The training and education of personnel in charge of special equipment and those who operate it are of great importance. Firstly, safety training for special equipment helps to enhance the sense of responsibility and awareness among those who are in charge of its safety as well as those who operate it. Safety training and education for special equipment is a fundamental task for enterprises that use such equipment in order to ensure safe production. It is an important means of improving the competence of safety managers and operators involved with special equipment, as well as of guaranteeing safe production. Through safety training for special equipment, it not only enhances the understanding of managers at all levels responsible for special equipment as well as relevant operators regarding the principles of \"three implementations,\" \"two certifications,\" \"one inspection,\" and \"one plan,\" and boosts their sense of responsibility for safety work, but it also improves their willingness to abide by various safety regulations and rules, thereby strengthening their awareness of the legal aspects related to safe production. Secondly, safety training for special equipment can enhance the safety knowledge and skills of safety managers and operators. Providing safety training and education for personnel in charge of special equipment safety as well as those who operate such equipment ensures that they possess the necessary knowledge and skills for safe operation. This is an important prerequisite and foundation for ensuring safe production in enterprises. Through training in safety technology knowledge and the improvement of safety technology skills, workers can come to understand the objective laws governing the occurrence and development of various types of accidents. This enhances their ability to operate safely, reduces human errors, and helps them control their own unsafe behaviors. As a result, workers can shift their safety mindset from \"I am required to be safe\" to \"I want to be safe\" and \"I know how to be safe\", thereby ensuring the safe use of special equipment and protecting the health of themselves and others.
