According to **regulations, safety training at the plant level in the hazardous chemicals industry must cover at least 24 hours, but in practice this is not feasible due to a small number of employees and high staff turnover; Moreover, workers must pass exams before they can enter the factory, but so far I haven’t seen anyone fail such exams. Let’s discuss the following points: 1. How to address the issue of safety education in a situation where there is high staff turnover and few safety officers. 2. If employees fail the factory-level safety education exams, should they be given another chance for training or should they be dismissed directly? 3. How can factory-level safety education be made truly effective?
1. How to address the issue of safety training in situations where there is high staff turnover and a shortage of safety officers. Reducing staff turnover is a major challenge for the HR department; we can explain the current situation of the factory and the requirements of various positions before training new employees. If possible, we can take them to the work site to see if they are comfortable with the environment there. In my experience, most new employees leave because what was promised by the HR department during recruitment seems great, but once they arrive at the site they find that the conditions are not as good as described and the salaries are not as high as promised, which leads to high turnover. 2. If an employee fails the factory-level safety training exam, should they be given another chance for training or should they be dismissed immediately? It’s best to discuss this with the employee to assess their level of safety awareness. We should offer them one more opportunity for retraining; if they still fail, then dismissal is the only option. + O- c6 i8 z4 R, B( X- ? 3. How can factory-level safety training be made truly effective? Here, we focus on several aspects: first, covering some basic knowledge; second, providing basic fire safety information such as the use of fire extinguishers and fire hydrants, with on-site drills possible if conditions permit; third, explaining in detail the location of safety facilities and the procedures for escaping in case of an accident; fourth, discussing accidents that have occurred within the company – there’s no need to avoid this topic. If these matters are explained carefully, three days is more than enough time.
Third question: Article 16 of Order No. 3 issued by the State Administration of Work Safety stipulates that the content of pre-job safety training at the factory (mine) level should include: (1) The unit’s safety production situation and basic knowledge of safety production; (II) The unit’s safety production regulations and labor discipline ; (III) Rights and obligations of employees regarding work safety ; (IV) Relevant accident cases, etc. In addition to the aforementioned contents, the factory/mining-site-level safety training for production and operation units in the coal mining, non-coal mining, hazardous chemicals, fireworks and firecrackers industries should include emergency response to accidents, drills for accident emergency plans, as well as preventive measures.
Reply to 1# hbtslcs: 1. How to address the issue of safety training in situations where there is high staff turnover and a shortage of safety officers? First, consider factors such as the working environment, management practices, and salary levels; once employees are satisfied, turnover can be reduced. As for safety education, it’s essentially a matter of time – there are too few safety managers. Are there really that few managers? Enterprises organize their own staff for learning and training. + g+ K: j& g3 f! s 2. If an employee fails the safety training at the factory level, should they be given another chance for training or should they be dismissed? It depends on your decision. The exam questions generally cover topics that are necessary in daily work; by taking good notes during the lectures, it’s usually possible to pass the exam. But after the exam, it turned out that the people you trained were really not good, so they were dismissed outright. 3. How can factory-level safety training be made truly effective? Factory-level training consists of 24 hours over 3 days. During the training, strengthen communication with employees by having them share safety incidents that have occurred around them, and explain these incidents in conjunction with the company’s management systems and past accident cases.
Reply to 3# ythchxch: Could you provide a link to the 48-hour training for chemical plant personnel? I only know that it takes 48 hours of training for a safety officer to obtain their certification for the first time. . .
In accordance with **Order No. 3 of the State Administration for Work Safety, ‘Regulations on Safety Training for Production and Business Entities’, safety training for newly hired employees in entities that handle hazardous chemicals must cover at least 72 hours; meanwhile, safety qualification training for their senior management personnel and those responsible for work safety must last at least 48 hours. The specific details can be found on the **Ministry of Work Safety’s website.
What was said upstairs is correct; I got it mixed up! For new employees in high-risk enterprises, the three-level training requires 72 hours; therefore, 24 hours at the factory level is correct.
The income is low, the work load is high, and no amount of training or management will help
The income here is decent, and with three shifts per day the salary is also acceptable. The main issue is the poor environment: 1. It’s located in a coastal area that’s rather desolate; it’s not as prosperous as urban areas, and shopping and entertainment options are limited. 2. The automation level in the workshops is low, there are many employees, and a lot of work still has to be done manually

What exactly does the poster mean by “the factory-level safety training in the hazardous chemicals industry must cover no less than 24 hours”? Article 13 of the Regulations on Safety Training for Production and Business Entities: For new employees joining production and business entities, the pre-job training period must be no less than 24 hours. New employees in production and operation units such as coal mines, non-coal mines, hazardous chemicals, and fireworks must receive safety training for no less than 72 hours, and must undergo retraining for no less than 20 hours each year. New employees must receive three levels of safety training: plant-level, workshop-level, and team-level. However, regulations do not specify detailed requirements regarding the number of hours of training for each of these levels, right? Our company’s internal safety education management system does set requirements for the number of hours of training at these three levels: no less than 2 hours at the factory level, and no less than 36 hours at the workshop and team levels; this way, the requirement of no less than 72 hours is met. Factory-level safety training and education mainly provide general guidance; the focus is primarily at the workshop and team levels, where new employees will find themselves working and what hazards they might be exposed to. Since conditions vary from one workshop (department) to another, emphasis is placed on the workshop and team levels.
