On the security management of relevant parties

2009-03-06View Original

Thread Content

With an increase in accidents involving such parties, **local authorities have put forward corresponding requirements regarding the safety management of these parties: such as signing safety management agreements, allocating funds for safe construction in a timely manner, ensuring that the employers possess the necessary qualifications, and strengthening coordination and management. However, in practice, it always seems that managing this area is very difficult, especially when dealing with certain construction companies that have many problems and lack the necessary commitment to carry out their tasks. We welcome all colleagues to share their views and discuss their management experiences and insights in this area!

Our company follows the principle of \"whoever employs the staff is responsible\", with each department being accountable for controlling and managing its relevant parties. a. Parties to the engineering contract – Requirements for controlling noise, dust, and construction waste ; The hot work is supervised by the safety management department, which is responsible for issuing hot work permits. The Equipment Department and the Infrastructure Department are in charge of providing environmental and safety training to external contractors, signing safety and environmental protection agreements, handling procedures for their entry into the facility, as well as reviewing the qualifications of these contractors and overseeing them. b. Suppliers and subcontractors – Throughout the entire process from the delivery of raw materials and subcontracted components to the factory until they are unloaded, suppliers and subcontractors must ensure that these materials are protected from rain, sunlight, and high temperatures; measures such as covering them or cooling them down should be taken when necessary. The supplier should also provide measures for dealing with abnormalities in the raw materials. Before making a purchase, the Equipment Department, Supply Department, and Import/Export Department shall evaluate the supplier’s and subcontractor’s environmental/occupational health and safety management systems, and shall request from the supplier information such as necessary safety performance markings as well as details regarding transportation, packaging, and storage conditions ; Suppliers of hazardous chemicals should provide the Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the products. c. Customer — Provide the customer with the product’s MSDS at the time of delivery of the hazardous goods. d. External transport vehicles – entering the first-level fire prevention area must comply with the \"Gatekeeper Management System\" and the \"Vehicle Management System\". The safety department is responsible for checking that devices such as flame arresters, leak prevention systems, speed limiters, and anti-static grounding systems meet the specified requirements. Vehicles used for transporting hazardous chemicals must have a license for transporting such chemicals. e. Solid waste disposal party – The relevant qualification certificates shall be provided by the solid waste disposal party, and kept by the competent department for reference. f. External maintenance and installation contractors – The Equipment Department is responsible for controlling noise, waste yarn ends, screws (caps), used lubricants, construction waste, etc., during the construction process, as well as ensuring compliance with occupational health and safety standards. g. Visitors and external learners – The relevant departments are responsible for managing the environmental/occupational health and safety of those who visit or come to learn at the company. In the control process of stakeholder management, the documents, certificates, or copies provided by stakeholders should be kept for reference together with the [List of Stakeholder Control Requirements]. Functional departments should conduct regular inspections of relevant parties and keep records. Complaints or relevant information from stakeholders should be handled by the relevant departments in accordance with the \"Information Exchange Control Procedure\" and the \"Corrective and Preventive Action Control Procedure\".

Our company is a chemical manufacturing enterprise, and our approach to managing relevant parties is as follows: 1. Verify their qualifications; 2. Sign a safety management agreement ; 3. Introduce the company to relevant parties, provide safety information, and conduct registration ; (Our company has specially prepared safety information cards for visitors.) 4. Obtain the necessary permits ; 5. On-site safety supervision and inspection.

I would like to ask if the notification cards issued by your company contain information about the relevant parties?

Apart from the first point, we have met all the others. Sometimes, due to considerations such as costs, it’s really difficult to meet the required standards, and the construction teams affiliated with us are quite large in scale

Stakeholders---------Individuals or groups whose occupational health and safety performance is related to, or affected by, an organization’s occupational health and safety performance. An organization’s occupational health and safety performance is influenced and constrained by various factors, and it also has an impact on many related individuals or groups. These individuals and groups that are actively or passively related to an organization’s occupational health and safety performance are the stakeholders related to the organization’s occupational health and safety. Individuals can include: employees of the organization, family members of employees, shareholders, customers, etc ; The groups mainly include: suppliers, banks, contracting parties, **regulatory authorities, etc. Broadly speaking, society as a whole is more or less connected to an organization’s occupational health and safety performance through various channels. However, in the implementation of an occupational health and safety management system, especially during the certification process, the application of the concept of relevant parties relates to the organization’s obligations; it is necessary to define clear boundaries and avoid an unlimited expansion of this concept. According to the above definition, this involves a communication issue; the solution is to communicate with the relevant departments within the company as well as the external contractors in order to convey the relevant requirements. Conduct assessments and assign responsibilities.

The problem still lies with the owners. Just having rules isn’t enough; what’s most important is inspection and enforcement, and that is the responsibility of the owners. You can’t shirk this duty. The key is to get a good start, as only then will things be easier to handle in the future. Prioritizing action over principles, and showing an example by taking decisive actions, is a practical and feasible approach.

Take a look at how this incident was handled below, and use it as an example to understand how to manage relevant parties! \"Notice on the ‘11.11’ Fire Incident at the Gymnasium of Jinan Olympic Sports Center\" Ji An Fa No. 24 To the people’s governments of all counties (cities) and districts, as well as relevant departments directly under the city government: At 11:37 on November 11, 2008, a fire broke out on the southeast side of the roof of the gymnasium at Jinan Olympic Sports Center. The area affected by the fire was 1,284 square meters, and no casualties were reported. Following the fire, the city’s **immediately established an accident investigation team, which conducted a thorough and serious investigation in accordance with relevant laws and regulations as well as the instructions from provincial and municipal leaders. The cause of the fire was determined to be: improper use of gasoline torches by construction workers during the heating of waterproof membranes; the high-temperature flames from these torches ignited the combustible materials. It is a typical work safety accident resulting from illegal operations by construction workers, inadequate management by the construction company, absence of supervision personnel, and insufficient coordinated management by the project owner and the project management company. The cause of the accident has been identified, and the responsibilities for it have been clarified. With the approval of the municipal ** authorities, appropriate actions have been taken against the relevant departments, units, and individuals held responsible. Ten construction workers, including Zhao Zili and Du Jiangfeng, have been handed over to the judicial authorities for prosecution under the charge of serious liability accidents. The Beijing Urban Construction Olympic Sports Project Department failed to fulfill its primary responsibilities regarding work safety; the work safety responsibility system, safety prevention measures, and operating procedures were not properly implemented, and labor management was not standardized. In accordance with the Regulations on the Reporting, Investigation, and Handling of Work Safety Accidents, Li Wenjian, the project manager who bore leadership responsibility, was fined 12,844.83 yuan ; A financial penalty of 200,000 yuan was imposed on the Olympic Sports Project Department of Beijing Urban Construction. As the project supervision unit, Zhejiang Jiangnan Engineering Management Co., Ltd. failed to carry out proper supervision; in accordance with the Regulations on Safety Management in Construction Projects, the construction administration department imposed a financial penalty of 100,000 yuan on it. Shandong Yingte Project Management Company failed to implement comprehensive safety management throughout the entire project lifecycle for the Jinan Olympic Sports Center facility project, as required by the Project Management Entrustment Contract; its performance under the contract was inadequate. In accordance with the Regulations on the Reporting, Investigation, and Handling of Production Safety Accidents, a financial penalty of 100,000 yuan was imposed on it. Jinan Urban Investment Company did not pay sufficient attention to work safety, failing to provide effective unified coordination and management of safety efforts among the contracting units. In accordance with the \"Regulations on Disciplinary Sanctions of the Communist Party of China\" and the \"Civil Servant Law\", Zhao Tieling, the director of the Comprehensive Management Department who bore primary leadership responsibility, was given a severe warning within the party and removed from his position as director ; Zhang Aidong, the deputy manager who bears significant leadership responsibility, was given an administrative reprimand ; Manager Wang Jidong, who bears significant leadership responsibility, was given an administrative warning. Although the Municipal Construction Commission conducted multiple inspections of this project and issued recommendations for addressing potential safety issues, it failed to supervise the entire process of rectification; its oversight in terms of safety regulation as the industry regulatory authority was inadequate. In accordance with the Civil Servant Law, Ji Liang, the deputy director who bore significant leadership responsibility, was given an administrative warning. “The 11.11” fire accident fully exposed the serious problems existing in the safety management of construction work. To thoroughly learn from the lessons of this accident, fulfill the primary responsibilities for safety in production, strengthen supervision and management, and ensure the safe operation of construction enterprises across the city, the following requirements are put forward: 1. Further implement the primary responsibilities of enterprises for safety in production. All construction companies must carry out these responsibilities effectively, and in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and standards such as the Safety in Production Law and the Construction Law, they should establish and improve safety responsibility systems and ensure their implementation at all levels. Standardize construction activities, develop targeted safety plans based on the characteristics of each project, further improve the safety inspection system, strengthen safety inspections at the construction site, and promptly eliminate any potential safety hazards that may arise during construction. Strengthen safety education and training for all types of construction workers, so that they can master the safety operation skills required for their roles, strictly abide by safety production regulations and operating procedures, and continuously enhance their awareness of safety precautions. Before carrying out various construction tasks, thorough safety and technical briefings must be conducted. During the construction process, comprehensive safety measures must be in place, and work must be carried out strictly in accordance with the operating procedures. Safety managers must strengthen inspections and management of construction sites to prevent similar accidents from occurring again. II. Strengthen supervision and management to ensure safe construction. Project owners and project management companies must strictly fulfill their responsibilities for safety management, and effectively strengthen the coordinated oversight of safety efforts by the construction units and supervision agencies. The supervision unit shall carry out safety supervision of construction projects in accordance with the law, and in line with the requirements of engineering supervision standards, effectively supervise the construction units’ compliance with laws, regulations, standards, and norms related to safe production. It shall also pay close attention to those areas at the construction site where accidents are likely to occur and to the weak points in such sites. Regulatory authorities in the construction industry should increase supervision and inspection in accordance with the law, standardize contracting practices, and fulfill their regulatory responsibilities strictly. It is necessary to strengthen the safety management of construction projects, particularly those that are of key importance, to thoroughly identify and address various potential accident hazards, prevent the occurrence of all types of accidents, ensure safe production, and create a safe and stable social environment for economic development. III. Implement responsibilities and conduct thorough inspections and rectifications of all types of potential safety hazards. Another fire accident occurred at the construction site of the gymnasium in Jinan’s Olympic Sports Center, which had a significant impact on society and serves as a profound lesson. All counties (cities), districts**, departments, and organizations should earnestly learn from the lessons of these accidents, apply these lessons to similar situations, focus their prevention efforts on periods and areas where fires are most likely to occur, and pay close attention to those places and locations where fires are frequent, highly dangerous, and prone to causing large-scale casualties ; It is necessary to keep a close eye on key and high-risk sectors such as construction, transportation, mining, hazardous chemicals, and fireworks, as well as crowded places like shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, stations, and schools. Continuous inspections and supervision should be carried out to ensure that responsibilities are fulfilled, and all potential safety hazards in production activities are thoroughly identified and addressed. All production and operation units must carry out thorough work in identifying and addressing potential hazards within their own organizations, stepping up efforts to detect and rectify such hazards. They should ensure that no area is overlooked in the process of identification, and that no residual risks remain after corrections are made. All safety measures must be put into practice to prevent various types of accidents, thereby ensuring safe production and creating a safe and stable social environment that supports the sound and rapid development of the city’s economic activities as well as protects the lives and property of the people.
