To ensure safe production, these taboos must not be violated!

The slogans are loud, but action is slow； Safety management should avoid the situation of much noise but little actual action. In many companies, from top management to frontline supervisors, people constantly repeat slogans such as \"Safety first\" and \"Safety is of utmost importance\", shouting them loudly. Yet in actual production, safety is often ignored and care is taken only as much as is necessary. To meet deadlines and save on costs, there are countless examples of safety being neglected, and the consequences that follow are often regrettable. Lack of clear safety responsibilities leads to mutual shirking of blame. As the most fundamental system for ensuring safe production, the safety production responsibility system is often overlooked. At present, many companies have such a situation regarding safety management: it is the staff in the safety department who are responsible for handling safety issues, while other employees adopt an indifferent attitude, assuming it is not their concern. This flawed management approach leads to frequent accidents. In terms of safety management, the approach of simply having everyone do their own job is a serious mistake. The Work Safety Law clearly specifies the allocation of responsibilities for work safety; from leaders and middle managers to front-line workers, everyone, regardless of their department, must be aware of their respective safety responsibilities and fulfill those duties in accordance with the law – in other words, \"whoever is in charge is responsible.\" ； Whoever causes the problem is responsible.” There is a lack of emergency drills, which leads to panic in such situations. The emergency response capabilities of management personnel and the self-rescue skills of workers play a crucial role in preventing accidents from worsening and causing further damage. The personnel lack the basic skills necessary for emergency response; they give chaotic instructions and attempt self-rescue in incorrect ways, which only ends up making things worse and leading to more serious consequences. It is therefore essential for companies to organize regular accident emergency drills in order to improve the emergency response capabilities of all employees. Inspections are often perfunctory, hiding signs of potential accidents; safety inspections are an important means of ensuring safe production in enterprises. The safety inspection systems in these enterprises are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with a wider variety of inspection types available. But in practice, it often becomes too formalistic, focusing too much on appearance rather than practical results, and neglecting the details. The inspectors are not professional enough, the inspection areas are not comprehensive enough, and the issues identified during inspections are not thoroughly addressed. Many safety issues are often overlooked, yet these issues are frequently the catalysts for safety accidents and can very likely lead to a series of casualties. The failure to address potential hazards promptly leads to accidents; each small hazard is a precursor to a major accident. Failure to address safety hazards in a timely manner, or doing so inadequately, turns them into time bombs that could cost us dearly at any moment. Some workers, focused solely on completing their daily tasks as quickly as possible, work recklessly and without paying any attention to the surrounding environment. In cases of welding operations, they fail to remove flammable and explosive materials from the area in time, which can lead to fire accidents ； Cross-tasking without communicating with workers below, resulting in object strike injuries ； An excessive focus on work efficiency, at the expense of necessary safety measures, leads to casualties. Empiricism leads to a severe lack of safety awareness. In the process of safety management, I have observed a common phenomenon: older workers, who consider themselves experienced, fail to follow the new operating procedures and construction methods. They have little awareness of safety, stick to their own opinions, and insist on using traditional methods, which in turn results in a series of accidents. As society develops and technology advances, some traditional construction methods are gradually phased out due to their minor drawbacks and flaws. They are replaced by safer, more rational, and more optimized construction techniques. Traditional methods with defects should be strictly prohibited in construction sites. Out of fear of trouble and driven by a sense of luck, during construction, there are often situations where work needs to be carried out temporarily in certain areas, or where the protective measures in those areas are inadequate. In such cases, most workers choose to ignore these safety issues and proceed with the work, thinking, “It’s too much trouble to set up new safety measures; I’ll just work here for a short while – nothing bad will happen.” And these minor fluctuations in thought often force the person involved to pay a heavy price. For safe production, one must not be afraid of any trouble and must not rely on any luck at all. Safety in production cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness or slackness. Violating the \"taboos\" in work safety often forces us to pay a heavy price and regret our actions. We should regard these “taboos” as invisible “rules to follow,” staying away from them and refraining from touching them at all to ensure production safety.
