When it comes to safety work, one must choose the industry and the company carefully

I have also been working in the safety field for many years; during that time I have changed jobs several times and moved between different industries. For this type of work, I think the first step is to choose the industry: in sectors such as hazardous chemicals and power generation, there is a high level of emphasis on safety, which makes it easier for those working in safety-related roles, and these roles also come with better compensation. In some mechanical industries, the risk level is low, and the emphasis on safety is also low; as a result, supervision is minimal, and the status and compensation for those working in safety areas are lower. Furthermore, within the same industry, it is also necessary to choose companies carefully; those that have experienced accidents tend to be in better condition. Moreover, foreign-owned and state-owned companies are generally better than private companies. Ultimately, it is related, on the one hand, to the level of risk associated with the enterprise, and on the other hand, to the safety awareness of the management. The idea that one’s actions in terms of safety are determined by their position makes a lot of sense in my opinion! We welcome colleagues to share their insightful views!

Yeah, if the management doesn’t pay attention, you can’t bring your abilities to full play. So it’s better to let things go wrong in the company:P

For some extremely short-sighted business leaders, that is indeed the case; if nothing goes wrong, they think you are completely useless!

The idea that one’s role determines their actions in terms of safety is, in my opinion, very reasonable! In other words, the bottom decides the head! ! ! When you’re in a high position, what you say counts. In our province, there is a position known as the Chief Safety Officer.

Safety work is determined by one’s position; it’s easy to say that leaders should pay attention to it, but if they don’t, all talk is in vain. Perhaps accident cases can illustrate some issues – by sharing examples of how accidents affect career advancement, we can convince leaders to prioritize safety. More communication is definitely beneficial. Noted. Frequent communication is beneficial for both the progress of one’s work and future development; therefore, I advise you to enhance your awareness of safety as a leader in order to prepare yourself for the future.

The coal and construction industries are high-risk sectors; the slightest carelessness can lead to accidents. And the treatment and measures fail to keep up. Maybe the elders in Shanxi Province should be changed.

It can be said that for the six types of enterprises required to obtain safety licenses – coal mines, non-coal mines, enterprises producing hazardous chemicals, construction companies, enterprises producing civil explosive materials, and enterprises producing fireworks and firecrackers – **the supervision is quite strict. This is an industry difference. Regarding differences among enterprises, it can be said that large state-owned enterprises (such as Sinopec, CNPC, CNOOC, etc.) and wholly foreign-owned enterprises (due to the adoption of advanced foreign safety management practices) have the best safety management systems ; Next would be medium-sized state-owned enterprises, whose safety management still needs further improvement ; Finally, there are still significant shortcomings in the management of small enterprises, private businesses, and so on.
