China: Sanfu Shipbuilding Increases Safety Awareness

The Responsibility Documents signing ceremony between the legal representatives of subcontracting teams and Sanfu Shipbuilding was held in the slipway Safey training room at 3.pm, 27 August on time. Cao xianfeng, assistant general manager, Sun jianyi and Li chunfu, both assistant Safety Section managers, and the 103 legal representatives of subcontracting teams from 8 workshops attended the meeting.

At the beginning, Safety Section chief assistant Sun jianyi read the《Document of Safe Production Responsibilities for the Legal Representatives of Sanfu Subcontracting Teams. General Manager assistant Cao xianfeng simply analyzed the statistics of industrial injury accidents happened from January to August. He pointed out that the security situation is still far from being satisfactory, and the safety task is urgent.

Taking into account the current actual production situation, he made important arrangement about the safety work in the next half year: the security management job would be divided into four parts in order to better facilitate sub-area management, including hull workshop, dock, slipway and site management(dorm and retail shops) . He stressed that the safety staff’ s salaries would be connected directly to the rate of accident happened in the area they are in charge of.

Company will take two steps to ensure that the safety management system can run effectively: First, enhance subcontracting team member’s safety and responsibility awareness by training, education, punishment , signing documents of safety responsibilities etc.. Second, urge the director of each workshop to perform their duty properly to ensure safety production by requiring them to pay guarantee money .

In particular, as the subject of responsibility for the accident, contractors must realize the importance of safe production and convey the spirit of the meeting to all the members in the teams. At last, Cao signed the《Document of Responsibilities》 with He Xinhong and other 4 legal representatives of the subcontracting teams ..

The document signed between SF and subcontracting teams makes detailed descriptions in such aspects, like the teams’ range of liability, assessment indicators, specific obligation, rewards, punishments etc. which defined the job obligation and safety work index of the subcontracting teams as the subject of legal responsibility of safety accidents, and will serve as the important reference for year-end assessment.
