It’s difficult to do safety work these days; what are the reasons for the lack of safety guarantees?

I have some ideas that I would like everyone to discuss: First, the root cause – the working class is not the owners of enterprises; they are merely their slaves. In state-owned enterprises, it’s the leaders who make the decisions; in private enterprises, it’s the bosses who decide. Employees don’t want to speak up, as it’s pointless to do so. II. Key Reasons **Supervision and management are essentially ineffective;** leaders are focused on achieving results, while supervisors seek personal benefits, focusing only on supervision without taking actual action. Any violations of laws and regulations are turned a blind eye to. III. Social reasons: The living standards of the Chinese people are still at a level where they merely have enough to eat and wear. Workers know there are dangers involved, but they still have to work; otherwise, they won’t have anything to eat, their children won’t be able to go to school, and the elderly won’t have money for support.
In fact, your view is rather one-sided. Society is progressing, and we ordinary people must keep up with the times. If we can’t change reality, all we can do is adapt; otherwise, we will be left behind!
The analysis is very thorough. That’s exactly it; I really can meet an open-minded person who will allow me to release my energy and do what I want to do.
It’s hard to say for sure; businesses also need profitability and efficiency. Employees, wanting to finish their work quickly and to save effort, don’t pay attention to safety. Back in our day when we were driving, we would commit all sorts of traffic violations – as long as the managers weren’t watching. If they didn’t show up, we would just keep doing it; otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to finish the work
Reply to 1# dyh633: On the surface, the management’s philosophy is that safety comes first and production second, but in reality... . . . . . . . Can’t be too explicit
Reply to 5# Farmer: I get it. From now on I’ll be more subtle when posting……
Reply to 6# dyh633: I’m not referring to you; I’m talking about the content of my post. It’s a sarcastic way of saying that safety comes first and production second. You insist that I say it out loud
Reply to 1# dyh633: I think your understanding of the real reasons behind difficulties in safety management is incorrect, haha. Based on the actual situation in our unit, I summarize them as follows; please feel free to correct me: 1. A lack of safety awareness among employees is one of the fundamental causes; for example, even after receiving training, they still act as they please and do not take safety matters seriously； 2. Low employee quality ； 3. Inadequate training; what needs to be mastered has not been mastered ； 4. Some leaders are too focused on relationship-based management; substantive issues fail to be properly addressed, and they simply opt for giving some advice instead ； 5. Insufficient investment in safety. 6. Difficulty in coordination among various departments, with a tendency to shift responsibilities onto each other. 7. The overall competence of safety management personnel needs to be improved, as they are unable to effectively identify and resolve problems ； 8. Lacks strong execution capability.
As long as the leadership pays attention! None of them are problems!
The main reason is the low safety awareness among the workers. In foreign movies, we often see the protagonists wearing transparent eye masks when doing things at home and putting on seat belts when driving – is there anyone to supervise them? This is a conscious act. While working in a room with high levels of pollution, foreign workers wore masks, while domestic workers did not. It’s still the case that the level of protection in China is not high enough, and penalties imposed on companies for causing occupational diseases are not sufficient! On the other hand, when a safety accident occurs in foreign companies, claims can drive those companies into bankruptcy. Our compensation procedures, however, are full of various rules and regulations; this is the difference. That’s why not many people pay attention to safety – they give it theoretical importance but don’t take real action.
Support the original poster! The original poster’s analysis is thorough! What can be done if employees in private companies have a high level of safety awareness? In private companies, it’s still the boss who holds the final say. If one runs into another leader who only obeys the boss, that would be terrible!
