01 Leading by example is the best way to set a standard. To fulfill one’s responsibilities fully, it is not enough to merely give orders verbally; one must also have the ability to carry out those duties. In other words, one should be diligent in thought, action, and effort. Specifically, one should be familiar with the laws and regulations related to work safety, as well as the industry standards, norms, rules, and procedures. Additionally, knowledge of work safety responsibility systems, emergency rescue measures for accidents, and procedures for investigating and handling such incidents is necessary. The person in charge must first adopt a proper attitude; during the assessment and training for key corporate executives, it is necessary not only to be present but also to truly engage in learning. Relevant safety training institutions should also enforce strict assessment standards; for those who fail the assessments, relevant departments and organizations may consider prohibiting them from serving as key officials in enterprises. Integrate learning* into the entire process of daily management. Learn about process equipment, management systems, and lessons learned. Emphasize organizing staff to study accidents that have occurred in similar enterprises, draw lessons from them, and improve relevant systems. Leading by example is the best way to set a standard; in recent years, managers at the level of workshop supervisors and above in companies have also developed the habit of going to the site right at the start of work, so as to have a clear understanding of the situation. 02 Using a key minority to drive the vast majority: The vitality of laws lies in their implementation. To maintain a solid foundation for safe production and ensure a safety baseline for enterprises, it is necessary for the person in charge to fully assume responsibility for safety management. This involves focusing on raising awareness of safety production within the organization, ensuring that responsibilities are fulfilled, enforcing rules strictly, and establishing appropriate reward and punishment systems, thereby creating a positive feedback loop in safety management. Implementing safety management responsibilities cannot be limited to mere supervision; it is also necessary to manage the vast majority of employees. Efforts should be made to ensure that safety responsibilities are passed down at all levels within the company, so that everyone is accountable for safety and each level assumes its responsibilities, thereby using a key minority to drive progress among the majority. This requires the person in charge to take action personally, go to the front lines to direct operations, address weaknesses, fill gaps, and strengthen weak areas. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure proper safety training for employees, foster good behavioral habits, and ensure that safety responsibilities are fulfilled up to the \"last mile\". To improve the safety production policy framework, it is also possible to establish, in accordance with the principles of being \"actionable, measurable, and assessable\", lists of safety responsibilities for various personnel at the provincial, regional, county, and local levels, along with criteria for measuring compliance with those responsibilities and standards for evaluating the fulfillment of such responsibilities. Safety production should be included as part of the comprehensive assessment criteria for Party and government leadership teams at all levels, thereby providing a clear guide for key individuals to ensure safety is properly addressed. 03 Being willing to take responsibility is an important quality. The safety of projects in terms of production is directly related to the effectiveness of the supervisor’s oversight; as the person in charge, one must be willing to take responsibility and make persistent efforts to prioritize prevention. Sufficient resources must be allocated to work related to safe production; in other words, there should be enough full-time safety officers ； Pay enough – safety investments need to be made in a timely manner ； Grant sufficient authority, that is, safety managers should have the power to reward and punish as well as the right to veto. Safety work is integral to the entire process of production and operation. The person in charge must ensure that safety responsibilities are fulfilled by all employees on a regular basis, supervise the provision of training for all staff, take the lead in understanding, recognizing, and fulfilling these responsibilities, and foster good behavioral habits ； Improve the safety performance assessment system, leverage its effectiveness, and motivate full employee participation ； Strictly manage subcontractors by ensuring proper screening and evaluation processes; conduct thorough assessments based on qualifications, capabilities, performance, and reputation. Teams that fail to meet safety standards or work in violation of regulations must be dismissed and blocked from further participation ； Implement terminal responsibilities and make concerted efforts to address the shortcomings and weak links in the safety management of work areas, teams, and employees. The person in charge must recognize the importance of technological means in preventing accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to provide support for increasing investment in research and development in construction safety technologies, accelerate the adoption of advanced and suitable technologies and equipment, resolutely phase out outdated technologies and equipment, and promote the use of machinery to replace workers and automation to reduce the need for human labor” ； Make full use of technologies such as BIM and big data to improve the accuracy and precision of monitoring, surveillance, and risk early warning ； Change the fragmented and extensive construction organization model, and promote specialized and factory-based production. The primary responsible party must proactively address new problems and challenges, and strengthen the development of the emergency management system for work safety. For example, the system should conduct in-depth studies on the new security risks posed by emerging industries and business models, and enhance research on the associated risks and hidden dangers arising from the use of new technologies, new processes, new materials, and new equipment. Expert advisory teams should be established, a regular mechanism for discussing security risks should be put in place, and preparations for emergency response plans should be made.
