[Forward] To ensure safe production, one must pay attention to \"small matters\" in order to achieve \"great results\"”

4 hours ago, China Work Safety Network: It is necessary to hold the handrail when going up and down stairs; running is not allowed in offices; pencil leads should be inserted vertically into pencil holders; one must not fiddle with anything while drinking water. These regulations may seem like trivial matters in terms of safety management, but it is precisely these seemingly unimportant details that give rise to the myth that \"employees are ten times safer at work than at home\" – this is DuPont, one of the companies recognized as having the safest working environments in the world. It is clear that DuPont focused on the “small things” in safe production, turning them into a myth of safety and thus making them “major issues”. What are the “major issues” in safe production? It refers to the situation where accidents do not occur or occur very rarely, with a continuous improvement in safety conditions, thereby achieving safe development. But “big things” are made up of countless “small things”. In actual production operations, many workers still ignore minor safety issues, such as entering the production area without wearing a safety helmet or wearing one without fastening it, not using a safety belt when working at heights, and using substandard tools and equipment. These minor violations may seem insignificant on the surface, and no safety accidents might occur in the short term; however, if left unaddressed, they can create hidden risks to safety, bringing accidents ever closer. Similarly, in our work related to safe production, many seemingly minor violations, mistakes, or oversights can lead to significant losses. The root cause of this is the failure to pay attention to these small issues over time; eventually, it is the accumulation of such small problems that results in catastrophic consequences. One must be good at handling “small matters” in order to plan for and achieve “big things”. Without taking small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without gathering small streams, one cannot form rivers or seas. Therefore, in ensuring safe production, we must focus on handling the \"small things\" carefully – starting with every detail, every process, every inspection, and every screw. When carrying out any task, we should think more, observe more, demonstrate greater sense of responsibility and professionalism, and not overlook any minor detail or suspect anything. Only by paying close attention to these small aspects can we ensure safety and achieve sustainable development.
