Keep safety in mind, cherish life | Story, original, 2016-09-28 by Tian Xuelian. Team safety: It was an afternoon in the autumn of 2005, during the peak period of the \"Red Flag Transformation\" initiative. As a young team leader, the creation of “Red Flag Transformation” filled him with enthusiasm for his work. Due to strong winds the night before, some of the venue’s lighting cables had protruded from the roof, and he decided to work overtime to go up on the roof and secure them. It was already after working hours, and the careless duty officer didn’t notice him, so they put the ladder away in the storage room. When he finished securing the cables and was ready to come down from the roof, he found that the ladder was gone. To avoid causing trouble for everyone, he planned to climb down through the window using the roof gutter. Just as he moved from the rain shelter toward the window, his right foot lost its footing and he fell heavily onto the concrete floor. Everyone called an ambulance and took him to the hospital. Despite seven days of emergency treatment, the life could not be saved. A good team leader who always thought of his employees, a colleague whom one saw every day at work, someone who was still chatting and laughing with you just moments earlier – such a person was taken away from us by the evil of illegal operations. His wife, his newborn child, and his elderly parents were all left behind by him without mercy; the happy family he had worked so hard to build and his successful career were reduced to nothing in an instant. Human life is truly so fragile. The story above was told to me by my senior colleague while I was working at the substation. Yes, you guessed right – the story took place at the very station where I worked, and that young shift leader was my senior colleague’s first shift leader when he started working there. The master does his work meticulously and carefully; sometimes he can even be considered picky, but I can understand him, understand someone who has experienced separation. Every young person who comes to work at the station has heard him tell this story. He wants to tell us in this way: “Without life, everything is nonsense.” Once safety is lost, nothing can replace it. ”Fools exchange blood for lessons, while the wise use lessons to avoid accidents. These are all bloody safety accidents that occur right around us. Time passes by like water, yet those who die can never be brought back to life. We must keep these lessons in mind and use them as a constant reminder to ourselves. “I am responsible for my own safety; I am also accountable for your safety. We must keep this belief in mind: everyone should practice safe behaviors and do things that ensure safety. Life needs to be protected by safety; only by keeping safety in hand and at heart can life receive the most fundamental and effective protection.
