Safety Management and On-site Control

Thread Content

With the market-based competition in engineering projects, winning bids at low prices has become the general trend in our construction industry. How to manage projects so as to avoid losses, ensure that the quality of work is satisfactory, and prevent safety accidents are issues that builders must face. We would like to present some of our practices in management and on-site control for everyone’s consideration. 　　In our efforts to ensure safety, we focus on two main aspects. Specifically, the authorities focus on management, while projects are monitored. Our main approaches are: “dual pre-control,” “six mechanisms,” and “eighteen systems.” 　　I. Dual pre-control refers to cost pre-control and construction plan pre-control. 　　1. Cost control: Before the commencement of each project, the cost management department of the group company or the engineering company conducts an investigation and assessment of the main materials required for that project. A profit and loss forecast is prepared based on the project’s estimated cost, and accordingly, decisions are made regarding the amount of management fees to be charged and the percentage to be set aside. Measures for rewarding or punishing performance in terms of profits and losses are also established. Through this measure, over 90% of the group’s projects can turn losses into profits. 　　2. Plan-based preventive control: Inadequate safety management or construction management often leads to accidents, and if the plan is flawed, it can result in massive casualties. In plan pre-control, we start by focusing on the project setup phase. After the project manager, chief engineer, and heads of various departments are selected and their names are made public, official appointment orders are issued. Before launching a project, two things need to be addressed: first, the allocation of production factors, ensuring that human resources, financial resources, and materials are properly assigned; second, implementing factory-style production and standardized management for the project. Industrialized production means centralized mixing of concrete and centralized fabrication of rebar forms; standardized management refers to posting various management regulations on walls and organizing all relevant documents in archives. 　　II. Six Mechanisms 　　1. Review system for responsible persons in key positions of the project management team; 　　2. Guidelines for project technical quality management; 　　3. System for approving construction plans for areas prone to accidents; 　　4. Guidelines for managing project responsibility costs; 　　5. Provisions regarding timely feedback on construction information; 　　6. Regulations on rewards and penalties for achieving excellence in projects.
