Special operations refer to those tasks that are prone to causing casualties, and that may pose serious risks to the life and health of the operator themselves, as well as to others, as well as to the safety of surrounding facilities. Persons who directly engage in special operations are called special operation workers. http://p3.itc.cn/images01/20200929/64ffd85b85d44f84970897398715eede.jpeg This year, the Emergency Management Department of Guangdong Province received numerous phone inquiries and complaints regarding special operation permits, such as employees working without proper licenses, using fake licenses, or employing certificates issued by other departments. Such issues violate relevant laws and regulations, causing serious harm to practitioners. To address this issue, learn from the lessons of these accidents, and further standardize the management of personnel engaged in special operations, the Guangdong Provincial Emergency Management Department has launched a special campaign to regulate special operation permits across the province. According to the Regulations on the Management of Safety Technology Training and Assessment for Special Operations Personnel, special operations include: electrical work, welding and thermal cutting work, work at heights, safe handling of hazardous chemicals, safe handling of fireworks and firecrackers, and operation of construction site elevators. This is because it relates to the safe operation of personnel engaged in special tasks (i.e., those who are involved in operating hazardous chemical processes, as well as in the installation, repair, and maintenance of chemical automation control instruments). ) includes safe handling of hazardous chemicals, so companies dealing with such chemicals also need to pay attention. Key governance focuses for this initiative: (1) Employers failing to verify whether special operation workers possess the necessary certificates or whether those certificates are genuine, thereby permitting such workers to work without proper certification or with fake certificates. (II) Failing to participate in safety production training and assessments, directly purchasing special operation permits from online platforms such as WeChat to work, or using forged, altered, or illegally traded special operation permits. (III) Acts by special operation personnel of altering, lending, transferring, or misusing special operation permits. (IV) The behavior of training institutions and examination organizations, which, in an effort to increase the pass rate, fail to maintain proper management and inadequate supervision, thereby indirectly \"assisting\" candidates in passing the exams. http://p4.itc.cn/images01/20200929/6529a29512de428898d5e3cb91b6c102.png Under the special campaign to regulate special operation permits, the emergency management departments in various regions carry out the following key tasks: First, they formulate specific action plans, clarify the division of responsibilities, detail the measures to be taken, assign responsibilities to individual persons, and thus advance this special campaign in an organized and effective manner. Secondly, it is necessary to urge employers to carry out immediate self-inspections and corrective actions, to clarify the setup and responsibilities of positions involving special operations, to thoroughly review the certification status of employees performing such tasks, and to verify the authenticity of their certificates. Any employees who possess fake operation certificates or work without proper certification must be addressed promptly. Emergency management departments in various regions should inspect or conduct random checks on these self-inspections to ensure that 100% of enterprises carry out such inspections, and that 100% of employees involved in special operations have the required certifications. Once again, platforms or individuals found to be producing and selling fake documents should be promptly handed over to authorities such as the public security department for handling in accordance with the law. Increase the frequency of law enforcement inspections of training institutions and examination centers, urge them to strengthen the management of training and examinations, enforce strict examination discipline, and standardize and improve the process of assessing and issuing special operation permits. Finally, extensive publicity and guidance are needed to help enterprises and practitioners master online verification methods and learn how to distinguish between genuine and fake documents ； At the same time, extensive reports are made on the progress of anti-counterfeiting efforts and the outcomes of crime investigations, so as to fully leverage the warning and deterrent effect of typical cases and criminal penalties. Under this initiative, actions will be taken in accordance with the law to address cases of forging, altering, or trading special operation permits, as well as situations where workers engage in work without proper permits or with counterfeit permits. Employers will be supervised to fulfill their responsibilities regarding safe production, and the processes for assessing, issuing, querying, and managing special operation permits will be further standardized in order to create a favorable social environment for safe production. Vivi hopes that hazardous chemicals companies as well as other enterprises that employ workers for special types of work will recognize the importance of special operation permits, strengthen safety training for such workers, and ensure the safety of production processes and the employees involved.
