First, the company should stand fast to the bottom line of work safety.
The company should earnestly carry out deployment and requirements of the central government and the provincial party committee about work safety and stand fast to the bottom line of work safety with the highest standards and strictest measures. The company should learn the lessons of recent safety accidents in Jiangsu and other provinces, clearly realize the serious situation of current safety production, draw inferences from others and be alarmed all the time.
Second, the company must thoroughly undertake the main responsibilities of special equipment safety.
Jiangsu Joc Chemical Storage should create the atmosphere to learn, apply, and abide by the law via themed training, which would effectively drive managers and front-line staff to learn and follow “law and regulation of special equipment”, the law about main responsibilities, and other related regulations. Consequently, all employees would better understand safety main responsibilities.
Third, the company should establish a long-term mechanism for work safety.
The company needs to improve the safety management system of special equipment and facilities. Companies in the sector of hazardous chemical storage which have long pressure pipelines featuring huge challenges in daily inspection must check the weak points based on their management experience and empower the employees with inspection technologies to forestall any potential accidents. The company must keep exploring and establish a long-term mechanism for work safety.
In the future, the company would take this law-enforcement inspection and special research as an opportunity to deepen the four measures of special equipment safety, which are systemic management, in-time monitoring, automatic cutoff, and modern rescue. The legal consciousness and knowledge of employees would be improved. In conclusion, the company would shoulder the political responsibilities to “promote the development and protect the peaceful life of local areas”.
