Safety: The Eternal Theme and Cornerstone of Shipbuilding Enterprises.The month-long "Work Safety Month" campaign at Jiangsu Haizhongzhou Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has recently been successfully concluded. This campaign was not a superficial, short-term formality, but a practical initiative with full participation, aimed at profoundly strengthening the foundation of safety management.
I. Enhanced Awareness: Embedding Safety Concepts Deep into the Heart
At the beginning of the campaign, the company established a leadership group headed by Deputy General Manager Deng Cihuo and formulated a detailed activity plan. Fully aware that safety awareness is the first line of defense against accidents, the company organized multiple specialized safety knowledge lectures covering all frontline employees. The content was closely aligned with the characteristics of shipbuilding, focusing on risk identification and preventive measures for key procedures such as work at height, confined space entry, lifting operations, and hot work. Training moved beyond rote learning, adopting a "theoretical teaching + case analysis" format. Real-life cases from within the industry were used to alert employees, transforming the "safety first" concept from a slogan into a conscious understanding for every staff member.
II. Focus on Practical Drills: Improving Emergency Response Capability
Theory must be combined with practice. During the campaign, the company purposefully conducted two large-scale practical emergency drills. The first, coordinated with the local fire department, simulated the suppression of an initial workshop fire and the evacuation of personnel, testing the integrity of firefighting facilities and employees' proficiency in using fire equipment. The second drill organized the rescue response for a fall from height in the dock area. The entire process, from discovery and reporting to activating the emergency plan, providing medical aid, and post-incident handling, was clear and responsive, effectively enhancing inter-departmental coordination and emergency response capabilities during unexpected situations. Following the drills, the safety management department promptly conducted debriefings and summaries, refining the emergency plans based on identified detailed issues.
III. In-depth Hazard Investigation: Building a Multi-layered Protection Network
Hazard investigation was a core component of the campaign. Led by the company's Commercial Director Lu Feng, technical experts from safety, equipment, and production departments conducted a "dragnet-style" inspection of key areas including the building berth, dock, painting workshop, power distribution room, and gas station. The inspection focused not only on the safety status of equipment and facilities but also critically examined operational procedures, the wearing of personal protective equipment, and on-site "6S" management. This investigation recorded a total of 53 various hazards, both major and minor. A rectification ledger was established for all findings, clearly defining responsible departments, corrective actions, and deadlines for completion. A "close-out system" was implemented to ensure every hazard was addressed and resolved, forming a closed-loop management process.
Although the Work Safety Month has ended, safety management at Haizhongzhou never stops. The company will institutionalize the sound practices and experiences gained during the campaign, integrating them into daily management standards. Through continuous safety education and training, strict process supervision, and continuously optimized management systems, Haizhongzhou Shipbuilding is committed to embedding safety into the very DNA of every corporate operation. This builds the strongest possible defense for the construction of every high-quality ship, for the life and health of every employee, and for the company's sustained and stable development.
