Accidents are easy to prevent; the key is to follow the rules | Speech

Looking at corporate safety accidents, a considerable number of them occur due to the ineffective implementation of safety procedures. I once studied a case like this: in order to meet a deadline, an employee of a company used an oxygen welder to cut a U-shaped pipe without obtaining the necessary permission for working with fire. This caused the residual methanol inside the pipe to ignite instantly, resulting in one death and two injuries. The lessons learned from bloodshed are right before us, yet in daily work, there are still those who are complacent and take chances. Because they managed to violate the safety procedures once or a few times without consequences, they come to regard such procedures as unnecessary, treating them as mere formality or decorations. They talk about the rules but fail to follow them in practice, acting as they see fit and thus creating potential safety hazards at work. And accidents can precisely occur during these moments of ‘gap’. Safety operating procedures are established by enterprises to ensure that the production processes in each department, at each stage, and for each position can operate safely, stably, and orderly. They help to prevent and curb the emergence of accidents. Enterprise employees must strictly abide by these procedures when carrying out tasks such as process production, equipment operation, and maintenance work; they must not neglect or ignore them under any pretext. Accidents are easy to prevent; the key is to follow the procedures. Enterprise employees should, by studying accident cases, safety regulations, and safety technologies, realize intellectually the necessity and importance of following safety procedures, enhance their own safety awareness and protective capabilities, develop the habit of consciously adhering to safety procedures, abandon any reliance on luck, and strengthen their mental defenses. One must be clear about what can and cannot be done at work, in order to take preventive measures in advance. During on-site operations, company employees must adhere to safety procedures at every moment, in every step of the process and in every detail, in order to avoid potential safety hazards resulting from improper operations. For the safety risks identified during the operation process, preventive measures must be implemented to ensure timely control and effective protection. In the affairs of the world, it is not difficult to enact laws; the real challenge lies in ensuring that those laws are enforced. As long as enterprise employees strictly adhere to safety procedures and regulate their behavior, they can reduce the risk of accidents, effectively prevent and avoid such incidents, and ensure that they never cross the safety \"red line\".
