How to achieve "horizontal to edge" security management [Daily question 090323]

Regarding safety work as a mandatory task, leaders attach great importance to it, conduct extensive and in-depth publicity, formulate prevention and control measures, and fully deploy and implement them. Enable all participating teams and employees to firmly establish capital awareness, enterprise awareness, quality awareness, safety awareness, environmental awareness and excellence awareness, and improve the level of civilized construction and comprehensive management of the project. At the same time, corresponding safety production management measures and plans are formulated to ensure that every process and part of the project construction has rules to follow. Illegal operations are strictly prohibited and barbaric construction is eliminated. Convene a special meeting on technical and safety disclosure, and put forward specific requirements for the relevant technology and safety of the project according to the specifications and procedures of the project construction, formulate measures, divide the responsibility areas, sign a safety production responsibility letter, and write its contents into the "Technical Disclosure Record" and "Safety Disclosure Record". Set up full-time safety officers, strengthen production safety management, and conduct regular supervision and inspections ； Establish and improve the safety production responsibility system, safety education responsibility system, safety inspection system and safety production management organization, and establish a safety guarantee system with the project manager as the first person in charge. Workers must undergo level three education before entering the building. Only after passing the exam can they enter the construction site. ； To this end, the project department compiled the "Examination Questions for Admission Education for Construction Personnel" to assess and test the personnel of each construction team, and complete the registration, admission education and provision of labor protection supplies for construction personnel entering the site. Safety officers go deep into the front line of construction and conduct on-site inspection and education according to the roster of registered personnel of the construction team, so that the safety education coverage rate reaches 100%. Its purpose is to not only complete construction tasks with high quality, but also strive to improve economic benefits, continuously improve the safety awareness of all employees, enhance self-protection awareness, create an atmosphere in which everyone is responsible for safe production, create a safe production environment, and form a good trend of everyone talking about safety work, paying attention to everything, and being strict everywhere. Let everyone involved in the project always remember: Safety responsibility is more important than Mount Tai.

Any production activity is closely related to people, machines and the environment. These are the "three elements" of safety objects. People, including responsible leaders, managers and operators ； Machine refers to equipment, facilities and tools ； Environment refers to site conditions, natural climate, external influences, etc. As long as these three elements are normal and meet the requirements, there will be no safety accidents. Among these three elements, the machine and the environment are relatively stable and can be predicted and controlled. Only people are the most active factor, and they are also the main body that controls machines and changes the environment. Therefore, regulating people's behavior is the key to curbing accidents! For safety, we also need the "four completes", that is, the safety management principle of "all personnel, whole process, all-round, and all-weather".

“Security management must be done horizontally to the edge and vertically to the end." Among them, "horizontal to the edge" is indeed more difficult to achieve. “The safety management principle of "all employees, all processes, all-round, all-weather" is also difficult to achieve in terms of "all employees". People often think that safety management is the responsibility of the safety department or safety managers, while others just do a surprise during safety inspections. So horizontal to edge often becomes a form.

Horizontal to the edge means that safety work is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people: Everyone is responsible for safe production. The concept of "I want safety" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are systems in place to implement it.

It is indeed difficult to achieve horizontally to the edge at this stage. Our safety workers need to work harder to improve the safety awareness of all employees, and the supervisors should pay the necessary attention!

In the actual process of safety production management, people cannot correctly understand the most important, basic, critical and fundamental issue of safety production management - safety production conditions, misjudge or define safety production conditions, and ignore the essential safety of safety production. During the safety production inspection, it was found that a considerable number of enterprises failed to establish and improve the safety production responsibility system, and the safety production responsibility system was only "written on paper, hung on the wall, and stayed on the lips." The results of a survey showed: Nearly 90% of business leaders or production safety management personnel have no idea what the safety production responsibility system is for their positions! In such an enterprise, the responsibility for safety production should be "horizontally to the edge and vertical to the end". In fact, it is empty talk, big talk, and irresponsible.

Safety evaluation work is a systematic project that implements the principles of "hierarchical management, separate lines of responsibility", "vertical to the end, horizontal to the edge", and "all employees, comprehensive, and whole process". Since the company attaches great importance to safety evaluation (re-evaluation) work, it has driven the development of other work in corporate management, thus reflecting the important role of safety evaluation work in corporate management. Our company's CEO said at last year's safety summary meeting that safety evaluations have greatly touched us. Through safety evaluations, the level of corporate management has been improved. We must make safety evaluation re-evaluations the starting point of our company's safety work. At the same time, we hire a qualified intermediary safety agency to conduct a practical evaluation for us, which reassures us and the company, thus strengthening the role of safety evaluation in the company.

: “"Horizontal to edge" means that safety responsibilities are decomposed and implemented to each department, work area, and team, so that there are no gaps in safety responsibilities horizontally. ； “"Vertical to the end" means that the safety responsibilities of each department, work area, and team are decomposed to leaders, technical (management) professionals, and even everyone, so that there is no vertical disconnection of safety responsibilities.

Horizontal to the edge means that safety work is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people: Everyone is responsible for safe production. The concept of "I want safety" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are systems in place to implement it.

“"Horizontal to the edge" mainly means that safety management must be achieved in any link or component of the production process, while "vertical to the end" means that safety must run through the entire production process, and must be adhered to from the beginning to the end. The current safety management is mainly superficial and cannot really go deep into actual production. Safety managers in various departments do not fully realize the importance of safety, fail to fully analyze safety hazards and risk factors, and cannot predict the possibility of risks in advance. They cannot prevent in advance, resulting in the failure to improve the efficiency of safety work. :lol

The project management department of the Badaling Expressway East-West Auxiliary Road Reconstruction Project regards safety work as a mandatory task. The leaders attach great importance to it, conduct extensive and in-depth publicity, formulate prevention and control measures, and fully deploy and implement them. Enable all participating teams and employees to firmly establish capital awareness, enterprise awareness, quality awareness, safety awareness, environmental awareness and excellence awareness, and improve the level of civilized construction and comprehensive management of the project.

Safety work extends horizontally to the edge, that is, the safety production work of all functional departments (including the party, government, industry, and youth leagues, and project departments including testing, measurement, technology, etc.) must be in place.

“"Horizontal to edge" refers to departments that are parallel to the safety management department, such as production, equipment, environmental protection, business management, party, government, and labor unions, etc. They must pay attention to safety and consider safety. Safety must be given top priority in any activity or operation. “"Vertical to the end" refers to working from leaders to grass-roots employees, one level at a time. With the improvement of security awareness, "horizontal to edge" is also gradually realized.

An enterprise consists of multiple departments, which jointly maintain safe production. In the production process, dangers exist objectively. Each department has the responsibility for safe production and must consider its safety issues and conduct safety management. Safety management emphasizes "horizontally to the edge and vertical to the end". This is a scientific concept. It emphasizes that safety management should be all-round and not just the safety management department. In addition, each enterprise has formulated a safety production responsibility system and corresponding assessment rules. Daily assessment work is carried out by the safety management department on behalf of the enterprise. Therefore, the safety management department has the right to assess other departments, but the assessment results must be approved by the main person in charge of the enterprise before they are implemented.

I have studied chemical engineering in school for nearly four years. Although I have taken classes on chemical safety, this is the first time I have heard of the poster’s words “horizontally to the edge and vertical to the end”. It seems that our education is really out of touch with production practice! I still hope that the company I will work for can do what the poster said, "horizontally to the edge, vertical to the end". Safety is the first priority.

Laterally, all aspects of production safety must pay attention to safety in their own work. Safety is not only the responsibility of the safety management department. Any work performed by other majors is related to safety. Safety must be fully considered in the process of carrying out work, with safety as the premise and safety as the basic guarantee.

In fact, although safety work requires everyone to pay attention to it and understand it, it also needs to be slightly different according to the working environment and position. For example, for grassroots employees, in addition to making them aware of the dangers of violating regulations, they should also make them aware of the dangers of violating regulations.* Master some accident prevention and handling measures and self-protection skills ； For those in power and managers, more emphasis should be placed on education in safety regulations, legal systems, and safety theories and concepts, so that they can think about the safety of others and consider safety from an overall perspective.
