In ensuring safe production in enterprises, it is essential to carry out effective safety management; strict oversight must be maintained, and safety measures cannot be neglected out of a sense of luck or complacency. This applies to employees' safety awareness, and the same holds true for external workers conducting construction work at the facility. Dong Jun, a safety engineer at China Railway Electrification Bureau Group Rail Transit Equipment Co., Ltd., believes that safety management requires oversight in order to eliminate any tendency toward complacency. What is \"management\"? It requires, at a fundamental level and in terms of mindset, further enhancing employees’ safety awareness, so that they can truly understand from the bottom of their hearts that safety is not only important for themselves but also for the company and their families. What is \"habit\"? It refers to the inability to decisively stop unsafe behaviors, treating safety management as a matter of turning a blind eye; safety managers themselves have an attitude of taking chances, believing that these unsafe factors are not a serious issue and thinking that accidents are far from happening to them. “What are the advantages of such an approach? When employees, in their daily work, are able to reach a higher level of awareness regarding safety, safety management becomes a conscious practice. This conscious behavior influences those around them, thereby creating a momentum and atmosphere for safety management that can have a significant impact, just like how a single spark can start a prairie fire. Therefore, to do a good job in safety management, \"management\" can exert immense power to extend and transmit. Security management is an endless process. “Where does this bad habit stem from? Little do we realize that many safety accidents around us occur when they shouldn’t, precisely because of a long-term irresponsible attitude toward safety management in everyday work, which leads to production accidents. This management style based on habit not only causes irreparable damage to the company’s safe production, but it is ultimately the person in charge who ends up being punished. Therefore, in terms of safety management, an approach based on habit is an extremely irresponsible practice toward a company; it harms not only others but also oneself. “Between “control” and “habit”, how do you choose? For a company’s safety managers, the more detailed and specific the control measures are, the more orderly safety efforts can be carried out and implemented. “The more habitual this behavior becomes, the greater the damage it causes to the safe production of enterprises. 　　Safety expert, how do you make your choice?
