Safe for production development

Ensuring safety in production is an important issue, deciding the stable development of enterprises. Therefore, all levels, sectors and enterprises in Quang Ninh have made efforts to implement synchronous solutions to create a safe working environment, improve production efficiency and ensure the health of workers.

Quang Hanh Coal Company (Cam Pha City) organized the launching ceremony of the Month of Action on Occupational Safety and Health in 2023.

As a large underground coal mining unit of TKV, the coal mining area is deep underground and has complex geology, so investing in innovative mining technology is identified by Quang Hanh Coal Company (Cam Pha City) as a key solution to improve safety factors in production.

In the past 10 years, the company has gradually invested in completely replacing the XDY tunnel support technology with a new, more modern and advanced frame system, helping to increase labor productivity while ensuring greater safety for workers. In addition, 100% of the unit's tunnel excavation and exploitation workshops are also mechanized with suitable equipment, typically: Combai EBH-45 tunnel excavator; continuous transport system; passenger carriage; passenger winch; electric transport train...

In addition to investing in technological innovation, Quang Hanh Coal Company also requires departments, divisions, and workshops to regularly inspect and supervise the implementation of basic techniques and safety techniques in production. At the same time, it strengthens propaganda, raises awareness, consciousness, and responsibility of workers about safety work through implementing training sessions and safety tests at the beginning of each shift; and links income, salary, bonus, and penalties to occupational safety work.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Ha, Manager of Mining Workshop 3, Quang Hanh Coal Company, said: At the beginning of each shift, workers will be checked for health, spirit and work psychology at the shift handover house. After the check is completed, based on the actual mining conditions at the site, they will be divided into appropriate working groups, ensuring efficiency and safety. In addition, we also have strict handling and reward methods for labor safety work. Minor violations will be promptly reminded, if safety procedures are violated again, wages will be deducted and safety work will be re-learned. If workers do well and comply properly, the workshop will propose to the company's leaders for rewards and commendation.

With increasingly improved working conditions and increased safety awareness among workers, since the beginning of 2023, Quang Hanh Coal Company has not had any serious work accidents. Thanks to that, production has always been maintained stably. It is expected that in the first 6 months of 2023, Quang Hanh Coal Company will produce over 750,000 tons of coal, reaching over 50% of the annual plan.

According to Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, Deputy Director of Quang Hanh Coal Company, in the coming time, the company will continue to review the mining conditions to continue investing and innovating advanced technology and modern machinery in tunneling and transportation. In addition, the company will conduct self-training on safety work, improve the capacity and responsibility of the staff, managers and all workers in performing their tasks.

Workers at Thanh Tuyen Group Joint Stock Company (Dong Trieu) are equipped with protective gear and guaranteed other working conditions.

With the consistent viewpoint: "Safety is first - Production is second", not only in coal industry units, but also in enterprises in high-risk areas in the province such as construction material production, mechanics, manufacturing and processing... are interested in and strictly implement the provisions of the law on occupational safety and health. The regimes and policies for employees are of interest to employers, such as: Periodic health check-ups, occupational disease detection examinations, toxic compensation, compensation, occupational accident and disease allowances... the material and spiritual life and housing of employees are gradually improved.

According to the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, with many synchronous solutions implemented by enterprises and functional agencies in recent times, the work of ensuring occupational safety and health in Quang Ninh has had many positive changes, especially the number of serious occupational accidents causing deaths has tended to decrease over the years. Performing the function of state management, every year, the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs also coordinates with competent units to organize training sessions, raising awareness of compliance for managers and occupational safety and health workers in enterprises. At the same time, it strengthens inspection and examination work to promptly correct and strictly handle violations, prevent and minimize risks in production.

In addition, the 2023 Occupational Safety and Health Action Month will be held from May 1 to 31, 2023 at all levels of trade unions across the province. During the launching of the Occupational Safety and Health Action Month, Quang Ninh province will carry out a series of practical activities: Inspection and examination of occupational safety and health; self-inspection of occupational safety and health risks; dialogue activities, conferences, seminars, and competitions on occupational safety and health; visiting and encouraging families of victims of occupational accidents... The activities implemented during the Occupational Safety and Health Action Month will contribute to the effective implementation of occupational safety and health work for sustainable development.
