How to implement safety management? ——Bai Wangyue Many safety managers have been talking about a topic recently - the implementation of safety management. How to make an enterprise more grounded and truly "implemented"? Hundreds of years ago, Newton discovered the phenomenon of apples falling to the ground and found the answer to the attractiveness of the earth. Hundreds of years later, EHS people followed the footsteps of their predecessors to find the answer to the "falling" of safety management. Based on my own experience in safety management, I summarized the "implementation" of enterprise safety management as follows:: The organization is "implemented", the system is "implemented", the management is "implemented", and the "culture" is implemented. 1. See whether the EHS management organization is "implemented". A good organization is the foundation for ensuring the "implementation" of enterprise EHS. A strong organization cultivates strong talents, and strong talents in turn promote better development of the organization. The organization is like the "human brain", supporting other components to effectively execute in accordance with established goals and policies. The key to having more soldiers is not to have many but to have the best. Comprehensive management and technical talents are the talents that organizations need. What skills do you need to be an EHS manager? Just like what EHS people really say about themselves: Someone asked me, apart from going around the factory...what else can your EHS do? Oh my God, I want to cry... To work in safety, you must have the following conditions: understand production, understand hazardous chemicals, understand electrical, understand machinery, understand fire protection, understand emergency, understand sanitation, understand environmental protection, understand politics, be able to write, know computers, and be able to design. Know how to take pictures, communicate, train, consult, understand laws and standards, know how to look at people, know how to be willing to give up, be able to stay up late, be hungry, be able to get up early, be able to accept anger, be patient, be careful, be able to tolerate busyness, be able to maintain leisure, and be able to serve others. As long as you have been in this industry for a few years and are not good at it, you will probably have seen through the world. Do you think it is easy to do EHS? ........We are serious about EHS! ! ! 2. See whether the system is "implemented". The safety system is the "law" for enterprises to implement safety management work. Each enterprise has its own set of safety management systems. Some companies have formulated hundreds or even thousands of management procedures and systems, but how many of them are truly "implemented"? Some companies have strict fire management systems, equipment maintenance systems, etc., but when checking the company's archives, it was surprisingly found that not one fire or equipment maintenance order has been issued in a year. Why is this? If there is no fire in a year, it can be said to be passable, but if there is no equipment maintenance in a year, it cannot be said. Therefore, can we judge how much an enterprise attaches importance to safety by whether the safety system is "implemented"? 3. See whether the management is "implemented" The task of management is to design and maintain an environment so that people working in this environment can achieve the set goals with the least possible expenditure, or achieve the maximum goal with the existing resources. Management = control + sorting, how to manage? How to manage? How can we manage it well? EHS people need to find out the methods that suit their own enterprises through continuous practice. Unsafe behaviors of people, unsafe conditions of objects, unsafe conditions of the environment, and unsafe elements of management are the focus of daily attention in EHS management. “"Hazard source identification, risk assessment and control" is an important part of safety management and an important means of safety management. However, most of the hidden dangers detected by some companies are such as loose screws, damaged buttons, problems with stacking items, oil stains on the ground, etc. Such companies have made safety management a formality, and it is difficult to truly prevent accidents from happening. Therefore, can we judge how much an enterprise attaches importance to safety through the "implementation" of safety management? 4. See whether the safety "culture" has been implemented. Everyone knows that DuPont has good performance in EHS management and safety culture, so some companies spend millions to invite DuPont's EHS experts to tailor their safety culture for the company, but the vast majority of companies fail. Why is this? Why can DuPont succeed, but its own company has invested so much manpower, material and financial resources, but still failed in the end? Only when you wear shoes do you know whether they are comfortable or not. The safety culture of an enterprise is the sum of various qualities and attitudes that exist in units and individuals. Safety culture mainly cultivates people into people with safety emotions, safety values ​​and safety behaviors required by modern society through the role of "culture and education". The purpose of advocating safety culture is to make the place where humans live and work safer and healthier under existing technical and management conditions. The realization of safety and health cannot be achieved without people cherishing and paying attention to safety and health, and making every move they make comply with the requirements of safety and health behavioral norms. Through the upbringing and influence of safety culture in production and life practice, people constantly improve their safety quality, prevent accidents and ensure the quality of life. This is considered by some people to be the essence of safety culture. Therefore, the main body of creating a safety culture with its own corporate characteristics lies in the company's employees. Organization, system, management and culture serve as the promoters of "implemented management" of safety, promoting corporate safety management to continuously focus on practicality and down-to-earthness. Whether an enterprise's safety management is "implemented" depends on the decision-making power of the company's senior leaders, the leadership of middle-level leaders and the execution ability of front-line employees. I sincerely hope that more and more companies will truly "implement" EHS management. ——END——
