The Majialiang Operations Project Team consistently conducts thorough inspections and addresses safety hazards, striving to eliminate potential risks before they escalate. Meanwhile, the Meilian Shopping Center has launched a "carpet-style" safety inspection campaign, focusing on tackling persistent issues such as aging electrical wiring and blocked fire escape routes, ensuring that all hazards are promptly addressed and eliminated. Additionally, the Mountain Photovoltaic Project Team has developed specialized equipment anti-rollover plans tailored to the project's challenging terrain, integrating暴雨 (heavy rain) and 大风 (strong wind) warnings into routine inspections to proactively mitigate the risk of geological disasters.

1. Build a robust responsibility system with a sense of reverence

"When workers are performing tasks atop the 52.8-meter-high coal storage shed, do they truly realize the weight of their lives?" The question posed by Zhao Jun, Manager of the Third Engineering Branch Company, rang powerfully through the air. Guided by the action principles of "Respect, Action, and Protection," the project team has established a three-tiered accountability system—led by company executives providing oversight, spearheaded by project leaders taking primary responsibility, and implemented fully by every member of the work teams. This robust framework ensures that safety responsibilities are effectively communicated and upheld down to the most grassroots level, reinforced daily through morning safety briefings, weekly safety meetings, and monthly updates displayed on the "Red and Black List."

The Equipment Leasing Department focuses on "Full Lifecycle Management," maintaining comprehensive records for every stage of equipment—from procurement and installation to maintenance and upkeep. By implementing regular maintenance schedules and allocating dedicated safety funds, the department ensures the safe and reliable operation of its equipment. Meanwhile, Wangshun Property has established a responsibility chain structured as "Leading Group—Joint Inspection Task Force—Project Team," clearly defining roles and responsibilities for tasks such as hazard identification and emergency drills, thereby creating a closed-loop management system that assigns accountability to specific positions and ensures corrective actions are addressed by designated individuals.

II. Strengthen Risk Management with Real-World Standards

Each project team consistently applies the "hidden hazards equal accidents" philosophy. The Third Engineering Branch closely monitors high-risk activities such as large-span lifting operations in coal sheds and deep excavation work, publicly highlighting the "Top 10 Risk Points" every week and implementing a mechanism for "time-bound resolution and closure" of identified hazards. Meanwhile, the Sujin Operations Project Team conducts comprehensive inspections integrating equipment operating conditions, protective devices, and fire safety systems into a single, unified approach—and adopts a dynamic tracking system for addressing hazards, involving "correction—re-inspection—public notification."

"Even a single loose bolt could trigger the conveyor belt to tip over, and a single leaking firewater tank could corrode the structural reinforcement bars." Manager Zhao used real-life examples from the construction site to warn everyone: "There are no small safety issues—every defense line must remain intact!"

III. Enhancing Emergency Response Capabilities with Robust Measures

Each project team is honing their emergency response skills with a focus on real-world scenarios. The Operations Management Department conducted "realistic simulations combined with surprise, unannounced drills," practicing responses to incidents like equipment malfunctions and electric shocks to enhance their ability to handle emergencies effectively. Meanwhile, the Equipment Rental Department has set up a mobile emergency equipment depot and regularly organizes hands-on training sessions on topics such as fire extinguisher usage and first aid for injured personnel. Additionally, the Huihe Project Team has introduced an "Emergency Skills Certification System," integrating high-altitude fall rescue techniques and emergency equipment braking procedures into the criteria for job qualification.

Hongyu Photovoltaic Power Station is pioneering "scenario-based training," conducting simulated electric shock drills to equip employees with the skills to safely disconnect power, ensuring "everyone knows how to respond in emergencies." Meanwhile, Wangshun Property has teamed up with the fire department for a hands-on "breaching and rescue" exercise, achieving an impressive "three-minute emergency response time." At the Sujin Operations Project Department, employees are reinforcing their emergency preparedness by watching cautionary educational videos and practicing high-altitude fall rescue scenarios—learning critical lessons from harrowing real-life accident cases.

4. Cultivating a Safety Culture Through Innovative Thinking

Each project team ensures safety management is both rigorous and compassionate. The Third Engineering Branch has introduced a Safety Red-and-Black List, publicly recognizing and praising teams that follow proper procedures while openly exposing violations. Meanwhile, the Huihe Project Team launched the "Behavioral Safety Star" initiative, integrating hazard identification and compliant practices into employees' performance evaluations. Additionally, the Meilian Shopping Center rolled out the "Safety Family Letter" campaign, leveraging heartfelt messages from employees' families to inspire a stronger sense of responsibility among staff.

The batching plant is driving the shift from "safety for me" to "safety by me" through safety knowledge competitions and job-skills contests. Meanwhile, the New Energy Management Department has launched the "Snap It—Report Safety Hazards Anytime" initiative, encouraging employees to identify potential risks in their homes, workplaces, and equipment. Additionally, Wangshun Property has rolled out "Safety Knowledge into the Community" programs, sharing fire safety tips via residents' online groups, fostering a nationwide "safety community" where everyone actively participates.

From the safety morning meetings at the Third Engineering Branch Company to the joint inspection team formed by Wangshun Property, from the cautionary educational sessions held by the Su-Jin Operations Project Department to the geological early-warning system implemented for mountain-based photovoltaic projects, Shanxi Zhongyu Construction Group is embedding a deep-seated commitment to safety—driven by the unwavering sense of responsibility that "we can never afford to be complacent"—into the very core of its organizational culture. As Ding Qiang from the Operations Management Department puts it: "Safety in production has only one starting point, but no finish line." When every employee consciously fastens their seatbelts, each work team proactively identifies potential hazards, and every project department strengthens its emergency preparedness measures, the collective pledge to "prioritize safety for everyone and equip everyone with emergency response skills" will ultimately transform into an impenetrable safeguard, ensuring the company’s sustained drive toward high-quality growth.
