Occupational Health and Safety
Sticking to the idea of "Safety first, zero accident, and zero violation," and with ensuring employees' health and safety as the fundamental point of departure, the four
parities including the Party committee, the administration body, the Labor Union and the Youth League Committee worked jointly to enforce the implementation
of safety responsibility at all levels. The company underwent the appraisal for the first grade metallurgical enterprise in standardization of the safety production, with
34 of its subordinate units all passing the on-site appraisal. It promoted the integration of safety management by sorting out and optimizing the management system,
and conducting the process control. By inviting "everybody to find faults," the company carried out the examination of the effectiveness of the risk source control
measures regarding all regulations for various posts. In line with its safety control requirements and seasonal characteristics, the company organized the special safety
examination and diagnosis. It enforced the safety risk check by analyzing and remarking on the examination and remedy work. In view of the Baosteel's safety management
mode, the company compiled Baosteel Safety Management Practice. Through special program training transfer, it strengthened the joint safety inspection
on Thursdays, enhanced the practical safety control skill of the base level managerial staff, and promoted the safety management performance by the managerial staff
and safety performance of the Company.
Pressing Ahead with
the Safety Performance at the Base Level
The company further strengthened the function
of "one post with double responsibilities"
to improve the safety management awareness
and skills of the sub plant directors and working
team leaders. The company organized a number
of theme study sessions, and compiled pertinent
training materials and course slides in line
with the features and safety management situation
of Baosteel. Special training programs were
carried out for sub plant directors and working
team leaders. Since March 28, 2012, it organized
training and examination for 1180 working team
leaders from the company and related cooperative
units by 12 installments. During the training,
385 persons were selected randomly from
among the production working leaders, equipment
working leaders and working leaders from
related cooperative units to participate in either
seminars or questionnaires, as a part of the efforts
to adjust the training content and pattern
to realize the best training effect.
To further strengthen the professional safety
management team construction, and continuously
enhance the skill and overall quality of the
professional safety management staff, the company
established the safety work staff training
and evaluation mechanism. It designed the professional
safety management staff training and
examination plan, which served as a framework
for the subordinate units to organize and conduct
safety work staff skill evaluation. Through
this training and evaluation, the professional skill
of the safety work staff were improved and the
weakness of safety work were pinned down,
which also helped to clarify the goal for future
improvement.
Carrying Out Deeply the Work Safety
Standardization
In accordance with the overall deployment of
carrying out deeply the work safety standardization
put forward by the State Administration
of Work Safety, the company took lead in the
metallurgical industry to carry out the standardization
work. Regarding the work safety
standardization as an important gripping device
for improving the fundamental safety level and
ensuring safe production, and in line with the
metallurgical professional appraisal criteria, the
company actively solidified the basic management
of work safety and pressed ahead with its
efforts to ensure the overall qualification of the
first grade enterprise for metallurgical enterprise
work safety standardization. In 2012, the company
organized the site appraisal of its 34 subordinate
units for the first grade enterprise in metallurgical
work safety standardization, with a 100%
pass rate, making itself the first of its kind among
the metallurgical industry to have passed the first
grade appraisal. In the meantime, for the problems
revealed during the standardization and appraisal
process, the company urged related units
and business management departments to carefully
analyze the reasons so as to continuously
perfect the system, enforce the treatment of site
safety risks. These efforts have been effective in
perfecting and solidifying the basic work safety
management in Baosteel Co., Ltd.
Inviting Everyone to "Find Fault" about
the Position Regulations, and Deepening
the Safety Risk Control
Through analyzing the accidents in previous
years, it was found that most of the accidents
were caused by the lack of safety risk control
in the position regulation or the lack of advisable
work procedure regulation. In order to enhance
the effectiveness of position regulations,
the company invited everyone in the company
to "find fault" with the position regulations, motivating
all employees to sort out the risk resource
control measures in the position regulations in
line with their actual work. The purpose was to
perfect the position regulation, making it simple,
practical and easy to follow. Seizing this opportunity
of "finding fault," it also carried out the safety
investigation into the roll cleaning work safety regarding
the production units of hot rolling, heavy
plates, cold rolling, thin plates and silicon steel,
special safety check for the belt conveyor work
of the iron-making and steel-making units. It remarked
on the issues found such as the lack of
the particular position regulation, the discrepancy
between the regulation and the actual work,
as well as the failure of the regulation in meeting
the safety requirement, which promoted the position
regulation optimization of all units. Through
this "fault finding" activity, it enhanced the basic
safety management, whereas employees, through
actively taking part in this work safety improvement,
have bettered their understanding of the
position regulation.
Stepping Up the Check and Remedy of Safety Risks
It stepped up the efforts in checking and curing the safety risks in terms of the scale of depth of the work.
A work mechanism featuring the wide investigation into safety risks, implementing the close-circle renovation,
and in-depth systematical analysis of the risks was formed. For the problems found, the company
developed project-based plans to carry out multi-dimensional and in-depth analysis and renovation. From
such dimensions as "man, machine, material, method, process, and system," and with the "5why" method,
it conducted in-depth analysis of the problems to find out the fundamental reasons and flaws of management,
pinning down the reasons and responsibilities for various levels, to promote the implementation of
responsibilities and enhance the ability to draw inferences from one case. In addition, efforts were made to
perfect the examination pattern featuring multi-level and multi-dimension check including "joint inspection,
examination before holidays, special examination, special diagnosis, and daily examination". An examination
framework has been formed, featuring inspection headed by the company leaders on the basic management,
in-depth special diagnosis by professional safety work staff, and participation in the risk check by all
employees. While pushing forward the safety management, special attention was given to the safety risks
caused by the dangerous behaviors, and special efforts were made to enforce the close-circle and the indepth
analysis as well as management quality enhancement.
Strengthening the Admission and
Site Supervision of Collaborative Safety
Management
In view of the process change of the collaborative
safety management, the company revised
the "Methods of Collaborative Safety Management",
clearly stating the collaborative safety
admission requirements and the management
requirements for the collaborative safety during
procurement, operation and maintenance. It
strengthened the admission management of the
collaborative units and persons by issuing collaborative
"Plant Area Safety Production Permission,"
and carrying out the special examination
of the collaborative admission and safety education
to enforce the management and supervision
of site work admission for collaborative
persons. With the deepening of Baosteel's collaborative
business, the collaborative personnel
have become an indispensible part for Baosteel's
construction, production, as well as check and
maintenance. In 2012, two cases of collaborative
personnel injury involving a number of people
occurred in Baosteel district.
Employees
To meet the employees' needs for physical and
spiritual health, the company issued in 2012 the
"Implementing Regulations for the Supplementary
Plan for Employee Health Insurance Plan,"
to further substantiate, on the basis of the allemployee
health insurance plan already carried
out, the contents of various insurance programs
and to make dynamic adjustment to the point
value and the rule for its use. As a result, diversified
programs are offered, and employees can
make personalized choice of services ranging
from physical exercise, art appreciation, to health
care and holiday recuperation.Employees are entitled to take the days off as
regulated by the state law and the company's
rules. They also have the legal right for public holidays,
paid annual leave, family visit vacation, and
other holidays. When employees work overtime
and on holidays, the payment would be made in
accordance with the national and company rules.
