Four suggestions to improve the effectiveness of safety inspectors

There is a \"boiling theory\" in management: when water reaches 99 degrees, it doesn’t bubble; it is only when an additional degree is added, taking it to 100 degrees, that it boils. If 99 degrees represent various rules and regulations, then the remaining 1 degree refers to execution capability; no matter how good the rules are, if they aren’t properly implemented, it’s all just theoretical talk. So, as a safety supervisor, how can one improve execution ability? I. Hearing – It mainly addresses the issue of being able to hear things. Many tasks are assigned by supervisors on a temporary basis, while others are assigned through meetings. However, among those who attended the meeting together, the level of follow-up efforts after the meeting varied, and the results achieved were also different. There are many reasons for this contrast, and it has a lot to do with whether something reaches the ears during a meeting. Why don’t people bring ears to meetings? Some people think that the leader’s speeches have nothing to do with them; it makes no difference whether they listen or not, and they tend to doze off or use their phones during meetings ; Some people appear to be serious and focused, but in reality their minds are wandering; their thoughts have already gone to the card game or a dinner party ; Some people fail to distinguish between what is important and what is less important; they can recall the supplementary stories meant to create atmosphere and boost morale in detail, but forget the main content completely. Therefore, to improve execution ability, one must first address the issue of what gets heard. On the one hand, the speaker needs to do thorough research. One must prepare carefully before speaking, ensuring that the key points are highlighted, the structure is clear, and the importance of different elements is distinct. This way, the listeners will be eager to listen, willing to listen, and able to remember what was said after listening. On the other hand, those attending the meeting need to raise their awareness. The departments responsible for work safety are required to implement everything that is discussed, and often they repeat the same things over and over again. Failing to do so constitutes negligence, or even dereliction of duty. Conversely, if something is said but not listened to, and no action is taken afterward, it is a failure to fulfill one’s duties. Also, all attendees need to be fully focused. During meetings, one must be fully focused: listen carefully, take detailed notes, and use one’s mind actively. It is not allowed to get distracted, nor to let the phone or other things interfere. In particular, one should not be so preoccupied with other things that their attention wanders; often, the key tasks and important points are mentioned precisely at those moments when attention is distracted. It is possible that due to such distraction, an important task fails to be carried out or implemented. II. Reaching the brain: Focusing on ensuring that information is remembered. For tasks that have been assigned or issues that are given temporarily, it’s not enough to simply hear them; if the information is heard one ear and forgotten the other, it’s as if it wasn’t heard at all, and the consequences can be even worse than not hearing it in the first place. In many cases, a small issue remains unresolved for a long time, a simple task is not carried out promptly, and there is no response for ages. It’s not necessarily a problem with work attitude, nor is it a problem with work ability. One main reason is the problem of not being able to remember or easily forgetting. So how can this problem be solved? First of all, one should develop the habit of jotting things down whenever possible. As the saying goes, a poor memory is no substitute for a good notebook. Whether it’s tasks assigned during meetings or work given on a regular basis, they should be written down in a notebook right away. Even if one doesn’t have a pen and notebook with them at the time, it’s still necessary to write them down as soon as possible upon returning. Before leaving work every day, on weekends, and at the end of each month, flip through the notebook to see whether the tasks for that day, week, or month have been completed How much has been implemented? What other difficulties and problems exist? In this way, there will be no problem of forgetting. Secondly, it is necessary to improve the ability to remember well. Especially during meetings, it is important to know how to identify the key points, and to write down the main contents of the speech, the key tasks, as well as those that need to be implemented. Some people, when attending meetings, only write down the headings, which is equivalent to not taking any notes at all. What really needs to be implemented has been completely forgotten. There are also people who, during meetings, are too busy trying to take notes; their speed of note-taking can never keep up with the speed of speech. As a result, the more they try to remember everything, the less they manage to capture, ending up missing key points and failing to pay attention to everything at once. It is recommended to practice writing more often and learn shorthand. The notebook is meant for your own use; as long as you can understand it, it’s up to you to decide how to take notes. Once again, it is important to learn how to make timely supplementary notes. If one cannot remember everything during the meeting, it is necessary to ask someone else for their notes after the meeting, to review the content of the speech and fill in any gaps, so as to complete all the items that need to be addressed. III. Ensuring Implementation: The key is to address the issue of actual execution. Listening and taking notes are done with the aim of ensuring implementation; improving execution capacity mainly involves strengthening the effort to carry out tasks. At present, there are indeed problems in ensuring implementation: one is procrastination. Once something starts, it gets delayed over and over until it disappears entirely. The second is to push. This line pushes against that line; one department pushes another department, and in the end it just ends up unresolved. Third is slow. Although patience leads to mastery, work related to safety requires quick responses at times; inspections need to be carried out promptly, potential hazards must be addressed quickly, and measures need to be implemented without delay. Even a slight delay can turn a minor issue into a major one. So, how can we address the issue of implementation? First of all, one must not feign compliance while acting otherwise. Safety in production is no trivial matter; everything must be done properly, and it’s not acceptable to claim compliance on the surface while failing to implement it in practice ; One cannot promise to handle something right away in person, then ignore it afterwards, without making any arrangements, conducting any checks, or providing any supervision. Secondly, one cannot muddle along. Work related to safety production should not be done just to meet the minimum standards; it needs to be done to a high standard. If one settles for merely meeting the basic requirements, makes some compromises or commits errors, it is often impossible to succeed in the end. During safety production inspections, when addressing potential hazards, in safety production training and education, as well as in the investigation of incidents and law enforcement inspections, it is necessary to be thorough and meticulous. This is especially true in tasks such as establishing standards, building systems for identifying hazards, applying for occupational health programs, and formulating and conducting emergency response drills – where excellence is required and no mistakes are allowed. Once again, no perfunctory handling. Work related to safe production must be carried out in a thorough and serious manner; superficial approaches are not acceptable. To be honest, perfunctory handling will ultimately lead to nothing being resolved. IV. Focusing on what has been done well: A company in Shandong has a slogan that reads, “Working diligently only ensures that tasks are done correctly; working with care ensures that they are done well.” ”How can one work with dedication? First, it must be pleasing to one’s own eyes, that is, satisfying to oneself. After doing each task, one should look back and check for any areas that are not satisfactory. If one isn’t even satisfied with a task once it’s completed, how can others be satisfied? Secondly, one must catch the attention of superiors, that is, satisfy them. For the same task, you completed it as well as he did; what matters in the end is whether one is faster than others, whether they complete more tasks, and whether their quality is better than others’. Only by doing this is it possible to achieve better results than others by the end-of-year performance evaluation. Therefore, do not underestimate every phone call or fax from your superiors; each of them carries the impression and evaluation that the relevant departments have of us. Handling each task assigned by superiors with a serious attitude versus approaching those tasks in a casual manner yields very different results. Over time, as these small differences accumulate, one’s overall image gradually takes shape. Once again, it is necessary to catch everyone’s attention, that is, to satisfy society. The work safety supervision system is an administrative law enforcement agency that is considered a key focus for evaluations of its work style by the Soft Infrastructure Development Office every year. The quality of these evaluations depends on whether we provide adequate services on a regular basis, whether we act in accordance with the law, and whether there are any instances of bribery or extortion. A seemingly trivial matter, if handled improperly, can have serious negative consequences. Especially in this era of chaotic online public opinion, many people are unable or unwilling to distinguish right from wrong or truth from falsehood, and instead eagerly join in the hype. Therefore, it is necessary to be strict and meticulous from a young age, even in small matters. Copy search to enable quick search settings
