Enhancing Safety Awareness in Non-Coal Mining Enterprises

Strategic Insights -

To improve safety awareness and risk prevention capabilities among employees in non-coal mining enterprises, Guazhou County in China's Gansu Province has implemented a rigorous safety supervision system. This system integrates "examinations during every inspection" into daily supervision, using online "learning and practice" platforms to educate employees on key safety regulations and typical cases. The county has established a regular online learning platform, with a company contact group pushing out key interpretations of laws and regulations, as well as sharing typical cases and conducting clear guidance on key points and practicing test points.

As a result, the number of mining companies covered by online learning and the number of employees participating continues to rise. Randomly calling out names from the employee roster and testing them on job safety knowledge has become a standard practice for law enforcement personnel during inspections. The assessment system is designed to be tailored to the specific needs of each mining enterprise and position, ensuring that employees are held accountable for their safety responsibilities. The ultimate goal of the assessment is to help companies identify security vulnerabilities and improve their safety capabilities.
