Serial number | Common types of violations
1. Contractors assign all of the construction projects they’ve contracted to be handled by others, or break down all such projects and then subcontract them to other entities under the guise of subcontracting. 2. The contractor subcontracts specialized engineering work or labor services to entities that do not possess the requisite qualifications; or, without review by the supervising unit and approval from the construction entity, subcontracts part of the contracted specialized engineering work or labor services to other entities; or subcontracts the construction tasks related to the main infrastructure project to other entities. 3 The specialized subcontractor may further carry out specialized subcontracting, or the labor subcontractor may carry out further subcontracting. 4. Managers from supervision and construction units work without holding the required certificates, or their certificates do not match their positions. 5 The contractor uses subcontractors who are not registered in the company’s credit database. 6. Workers who are required to hold certificates to perform their duties do not have such certificates, or the certificates do not match the respective positions. 7 The management at the site by the contractor or subcontractor, as well as the construction workers, are not employees of this company nor are they personnel dispatched through labor agencies; accordingly, the relevant labor contracts are incomplete. 8 When the key management personnel of the contractor or subcontractor are absent on site, or when they do not follow the necessary procedures for making changes due to inconsistencies with the bidding organization structure. 9 Construction was carried out without obtaining a start-up/resumption report. The “four-step method” for on-site safety has not been implemented: ① No differential analysis has been conducted on the operating instructions, or their contents do not correspond to the actual on-site conditions ； 11 The “four-step method” for on-site safety was not implemented: ② No safety risk analysis or preventive measures were carried out for on-site operations, or such actions did not correspond to the actual situation and were merely a formality ； 12 The “four-step method” for on-site safety was not implemented: ③ Work was carried out without a safety work permit, or the information filled in on the permit did not match the actual conditions at the site ； 13 The “four-step method” for on-site safety was not implemented: ④ No shift meeting was held, or the safety and technical briefings required during such meetings did not match the actual conditions on site and were merely a formality; as a result, safety control measures were not truly put into practice. 14. The management of construction machinery and tools (including special equipment) is not standardized; the requirements of the “eight steps” are not followed. (“Eight-step” requirement: Establish a list of lifting equipment and related facilities) ； Record maintenance tasks and schedules ； Execute the maintenance operating instructions ； Maintain a logbook for equipment maintenance and upkeep ； Machine Operation Manual ； **The required annual inspection documents are complete ； All three certificates are legal and compliant ； Special inspections prior to key operations have been conducted, and all documentation is complete. ) 0.05 points will be deducted for each missing step. 15. At the distribution network project sites, the signs specifying the “Ten Guidelines for Safe and Civilized Construction Management” were not installed as required, or the relevant requirements were not followed. 16 The temporary electricity use during construction is not standardized. In the 17 lifting areas, there were no warning signs and no dedicated personnel to give instructions. The winch or hoist is not placed stably; its anchoring is unreliable. People are passing through or lingering beneath the lifted load. 18 Scaffolds and spanning frames were put into use without passing the acceptance inspection by the using unit. The erection of the scaffolding failed to include sweep braces, diagonal braces, outriggers, and wall ties as required. 19 Oxygen cylinders and acetylene cylinders were transported in the same vehicle and stored together; the oxygen cylinders and acetylene cylinders were placed less than 8 meters apart from each other, less than 10 meters away from open flames, not placed vertically, and no measures were taken to prevent them from toppling over. The acetylene cylinder in use lacks a backflow preventer, and the blue oxygen hose is used together with the red acetylene hose; in addition, the hoses are cracked, bulged, or leaking. 20 There are people on the inner corner side of loaded steel wires, rigging, and conductors. 21. No protective covers have been installed on the toothed parts, blades, and mechanically rotating components of grinders, cutters, saws, etc. 22 The provision or use of personal protective equipment by workers does not meet the requirements. 23. When working near live equipment, effective safety measures were not taken, and the required safety distance corresponding to the voltage level of the live equipment was not maintained. 24. Measures were not taken to prevent the poles and towers from toppling during the operation. 25. There are no obvious markings or protective measures at the openings of trenches, pits, holes, and areas reserved for pipe installation (jacking pipes). 26. During power outage work, voltage testing, installation of grounding wires, and placement of warning signs were not carried out as required, and the grounding wires were not installed properly. 27. During the high-voltage test, no isolation measures or warning signs were installed, and there was no dedicated person to supervise the pressurization process. 28 Use ladders without anti-slip measures ； When using a ladder, there should be no one holding it or securing it ； The angle of inclination between the ladder and the ground is either too large or too small (usually around 60°). In warehouses, dormitories, processing areas, and near important mechanical equipment; during construction in forested or pastoral areas; as well as at construction sites where welding or similar fire-risky operations are carried out, fire-fighting equipment is not provided as required, or such equipment is expired or ineffective. 30 Workers started working without passing the safety training and education. 31 There is a situation where construction work instruction sheets have not been implemented. 32 cases of non-compliance with quality control standards (WHS) were observed. 33 The supervision personnel failed to provide on-site supervision for major hazard points, critical areas, and key construction processes. 34 The concealed work inspection was not carried out. 35 The materials and test blocks that needed to be sent for inspection were not submitted for inspection under supervision, nor were they delivered on time. 36 The third-level construction inspection and supervisor inspection are not properly carried out. 37 Cases of violations of the mandatory provisions for engineering construction were found. 38 Cases of delays due to design reasons. 39. Falsifying the quantity of work completed or the amount of materials received; the information submitted regarding the quantity of work completed or materials received for the purpose of obtaining payment is seriously inaccurate. 40 A change budget was not submitted simultaneously as required when the change was submitted. 41 Failure to use the standard designs and typical costs as required by the company without proper reason. 42 The design agency failed to respond to the questions raised by relevant parties during the design briefing and drawing review meetings within the required time frame. 43 pairs of investigation and design defects failed to have treatment plans issued on time. Insufficient design depth by the design unit and unreasonable design plans result in discrepancies between the drawings and the actual site, or lead to minor design changes. 44 There are errors or omissions in the implementation of \"countermeasures\" in the design, or major design changes occur due to design flaws.
