Talk about the safety incidents that have occurred in your company, so that everyone can take them as a warning

Let me start by offering some information to stimulate further discussion. Let’s talk about our company first; it operates in the inorganic salts industry. Some time ago, one of our employees put his hand into the feeding screw to retrieve material, and as a result, three of his fingers were crushed. There was also an electrician who was pushing a vacuum cleaner that weighed several hundred kilograms down a slope; he walked ahead while the vacuum cleaner followed behind, and it tipped over, crushing his waist. Now he’s basically unable to do any heavy work. Another employee fell from the second floor; well, he broke an arm； Before I joined our company, it was said that two more people died. One of them was hit in the head by an iron rod that fell from the fourth floor; even though he was wearing a helmet, it seems the rod managed to penetrate it. Another guy died in a car accident on his way home from work. There were also many other incidents – people whose eyes were damaged by alkaline liquids, those whose skin was burned, and another guy who fell from a height of over 1 meter and injured his head. Now I can only work in our company doing statistical tasks. It’s amazing to think about all the things that have happened.
Reply to 1# xxx13: I’ll also share a typical accident: during last year’s major maintenance, an external contractor replaced the crane limit switches for our unit. The proper method would have been to use bolts for the connection, but to save time, the contractor simply welded them in place. As a result, the next day, while the workers were working near the electrolytic cell, the limiter of the crane in operation fell and struck one of the employees on the head. Fortunately, our company requires that safety helmets, protective glasses, and impact-resistant shoes be worn whenever entering the production area. So, the safety helmet saved this employee’s life. It is essential to wear personal protective equipment. He can truly save lives at critical moments!
Hehe, you lost an arm and yet you can still laugh – it shows that your company’s safety management still needs improvement
Reply to 3# Bayer: Well, one shouldn’t discuss matters outside their area of responsibility; I’m just talking about it here
Reply to 4# xxx13: I’m sorry if my words came across as too harsh. In fact, many companies in China still don’t ensure adequate safety measures. Our company does have a safety department that conducts safety assessments on equipment, from the time it is purchased until it arrives at the factory. Safety is no trivial matter; only when the management truly realizes its importance might your company see significant changes in terms of safety. Take care of your own safety as well, brother
Reply to 5# Bayer: I’m most afraid of these things, haha. Our company isn’t proper at all – it doesn’t even have a safety department. It’s all managed by people from the production and administrative departments, and they’re all amateurs. As a junior technician, I don’t have much authority, so I can only take care of myself :L
Reply to 6# xxx13: It’s tragic and terrifying. So secure, how can nothing go wrong?
Our company does place a lot of emphasis on safety, but over such a long period of time, there have been many **minor safety incidents
Safety is indeed the most important thing; I’m just worried about accidents happening
The key issues are a lack of responsibility, insufficient knowledge, and an attitude of taking chances. In order to save money, necessary repairs are not carried out and required investments are not made – how can nothing go wrong in such circumstances? I hope everyone will strengthen their learning; safety assessments must be carried out when necessary, and money must be spent on safety measures – as this is actually a way to save money.
People have died in our company, there have been fires, and we’ve even appeared on TV.
