Chapter II Safety Responsibilities

Article 4 Enhance organizational structure and improve management mechanisms;

A strong organizational structure is essential to fully implement work safety in enterprises. Therefore, in the future production and operation of the company, we should, first and foremost, keep improving the organizational structure for work safety of the enterprise, implement the safety accountability system as well as work safety accountability system, and establish a complete work safety management network, allowing the work safety management to cover every employee of the company, and run through the entire production and operation processes, so as to lay a solid foundation for a long-term mechanism for work safety.

Article 5 Intensify publicity efforts to enhance safety awareness

Work safety is an important basic work that requires involvement of all staff of an enterprise, which indicates that the root of safety management lies in the work teams. Accordingly, we should carry out regular publicity and safety training for employees, to raise their safety awareness and improve their risk prevention ability, eliminate "three violations" (illegal command, illegal operation, and violation of labor discipline), and direct them to be realistic and practical in work, so that work safety can take deep roots in the front-line employees, and safety culture will become an integral part of the corporate culture.

Article 6 Emphasize safety rights, and ensure employee safety

Employees, as the most dynamic factor among productivity factors, are the wealth of an enterprise. Enterprises have the responsibility to protect employees' rights to life and health in accordance with the law. The company is duty-bound to create a safe and comfortable work environment and provide protective equipment for employees, pay social insurance for employees in a timely manner, protect the legitimate rights and interests of female employees and minors, and instruct the employees to take precautions against dangerous and harmful factors in their positions.

Article 7 Develop complete rules and regulations and strictly implement measures

The safety management systems are an inseparable crucial part of safety management, which allow the company to conduct safety management in a rule-based approach. Such systems, which play a basic role in work safety management, stipulate work safety procedures for the departments of the company, define work safety responsibilities, and elaborate on countermeasures for safety management. Therefore, the establishment of complete rules and regulations and the strict implementation of corresponding measures are the fundamental guarantee for work safety management.

In the future production and operation, the company should keep up its efforts to ensure investment in safety, improve and create good conditions for work safety, and create a harmonious and safe working atmosphere, and further improve production and operating conditions, reduce employee labor intensity, and optimize the operating environment through technological transformations based on new technologies, new processes, new equipment, and new materials, so that the safety and health of employees will be fully guaranteed, and the safe operating processes can actually or almost reach the goal of intrinsic safety.

Article 9 Strengthen management of potential dangers to eliminate safety hazards

Hazard investigation and management are irreplaceable core measures to prevent work safety accidents. The company should take hazard investigation and rectification as the main tasks, and standardized operations as an opportunity to improve various systems and measures such as safety inspection, hazard investigation, hazard rectification, and reward and punishment, etc., so as to eliminate accident hazards in embryo and achieve long-term safety in the company's operations.

Article 10 Standardize accident management and seriously investigate responsibilities for accidents

The reporting, investigation and handling of work safety accidents are highly policy-oriented tasks and an essential part of safety management. The company should be people-oriented, and uphold the basis of accident prevention and the principle of "four measures to be duly implemented", to strictly report, investigate, and handle sudden work safety accidents in accordance with the law. Specifically, it should identify the causes of accidents, define responsibilities for the accidents, formulate preventive measures, and seriously hold accountable the personnel responsible for the accidents.

Article 11 Enhance emergency management and improve emergency mechanisms

The purpose of emergency rescue is to reduce the property losses and casualties caused by accidents to a controllable minimum extent in the event of sudden work safety accidents, which help to make effective report on accidents in a timely manner, minimize the harm of accidents to relevant parties, and lay a solid foundation for improving employees' emergency rescue awareness as well as their abilities in emergency protection, effective rescue, and emergency danger avoidance.
