How to enhance construction safety

Introduction: With the rapid development of the national economy and the further deepening of the urbanization process, large-scale construction is currently underway across the country. At the same time, construction engineering safety accidents are also emerging one after another, which has attracted more and more public attention. Relevant authorities also attach great importance to safe construction. How to strengthen construction safety

1. Problems in construction safety

(1) Starting work without permission without complete procedures

Some projects do not have planning permission, land permission, recruitment Construction is started without authorization without bidding procedures and construction permits, and construction drawings are carried out without review by relevant departments. Such projects are mainly government investment and foreign investment projects, urban and rural community renovation projects, and the construction of new industrial zones, etc. Relevant departments failed to intervene in time under the influence of government documents or meeting minutes, sowing the seeds of potential safety accidents.

(2) Insufficient investment in safety protection

Fierce competition forces construction units to seek profits in violation of regulations, sign two contracts, overt and dark, illegally dismember the contracted project, and unilaterally force construction units to advance funds , withholding or even refusing to pay construction companies for safety and civility measures, and not including them in the total project cost, resulting in a shortage of safety production expenses, insufficient investment in safety protection, and insufficient equipment, facilities and tools to ensure production safety, which greatly reduced the cost of production. The level of safety protection at construction sites has aggravated the occurrence of safety production accidents.

(3) Weak production safety foundation

Some small and medium-sized enterprises have a relatively weak production safety foundation and fail to scientifically and completely understand the importance of construction safety. The safety production responsibility system is not sound. Objective management and rules and regulations are not implemented in place. Some enterprises illegally subcontract or subcontract projects to unqualified or substandard construction teams without corresponding construction safety technical guarantee measures or safety technical disclosures, thus laying hidden dangers for production safety. The overall safety quality of construction site workers is low. Most front-line workers, especially migrant workers, have poor safety awareness. They have not received formal and effective safety training and lack basic awareness and knowledge of self-safety protection.

(4) Safety supervision is not fulfilling its responsibilities

Some supervision companies have not implemented the relevant laws and regulations, and still stay in the past work content and ideas, focusing only on quality and not safety. , do not pay attention to or directly ignore the relevant laws, regulations, technical specifications and technical standards for production safety, cannot carry out safety supervision work seriously and responsibly, and the supervision unit's safety supervision responsibilities for the project are in name only.

2. Countermeasures to strengthen construction safety

(1) Put an end to the phenomenon of "green light" and insist on management in accordance with laws and regulations

Governments and government departments at all levels must comply with the law Act, strictly abide by capital construction procedures and procedures, and refuse to start projects without formalities or without obtaining various permits, especially government investment and foreign investment projects, construction of new industrial parks, and community renovation projects, and prevent governments at all levels from The phenomenon of forcibly greenlighting illegal projects such as red-headed documents and meeting minutes for the purpose of seeking political achievements and increasing fiscal revenue. Crack down on illegal activities such as private bidding and illegal recruitment of unqualified construction teams, and prohibit construction companies from contracting construction projects with incomplete procedures.

(2) Strengthen the management of construction units and establish a deposit system for construction units.

Before the start of the project, strictly review the land, planning, construction and contract procedures of the construction unit, and Those who lack formalities and signed Yin and Yang contracts will not be allowed to start work. Before starting the project, the construction unit must pay a "deposit" of 5%-10% of the total project cost and safety protection fee to the competent government department. Once the construction enterprise is forced to advance funds for construction and defaults on the project payment, the deposit will be allocated and the amount will be paid. They will impose penalties; after the project contract is signed and the construction company is determined, the safety protection costs will be directly allocated to the construction company, and the construction company will supervise its use.

(3) Regularize safety inspections, improve organizational structure and various rules and regulations

1. Equip full-time safety management personnel, set up a full-time safety management department, improve the responsibility system and improve regulations System

Construction enterprises must establish a safety inspection management agency specifically responsible for production safety, and establish a safety leadership group at the construction site to manage production safety throughout the construction process. The project manager is the first safety responsible person, team leader, and technical person in charge. and safety officers as team members. Construction enterprises must also equip full-time production management personnel and set up safety production management institutions in accordance with the requirements of the "Safety Production Law".

The production safety responsibility system clearly stipulates the responsibilities of persons in charge at all levels, departments and relevant staff in the production process. It is the center and core of managing production safety and an important step in doing a good job in safety. ensure. In order to achieve the purpose of well-founded safety management, the project department should formulate a corresponding responsibility system based on the actual conditions of the construction site and the responsibilities of various personnel in safety management, and sign a safety production responsibility letter at different levels, requiring the supervisor to be responsible and the position responsible. , clarify the safety responsibilities assumed by different individuals.

2. Provide worker safety education and training

Construction is different from other industries. The workers are mainly migrant workers from rural areas to cities. They have poor safety awareness and relatively low educational level. Low, with little knowledge of basic safety operations and safety knowledge, it is inevitable that illegal operations will occur.

In response to this current situation, companies should provide safety education to workers at three levels: First, company safety education. It mainly organizes workers to have a general understanding of construction safety risks through watching videos and other relatively direct and easy-to-accept methods, and fundamentally realize the importance of safety to society, families and themselves. The second is safety education of the project department. This level of education is to make workers aware of the safety risks of the projects they are about to work on and the construction sites they are working on, and to master the basic skills to prevent safety risks on construction sites.

The third is team safety education. Before workers perform operations, all types of work teams should conduct pre-job training for workers to familiarize them with operating procedures and master usage methods to avoid operating errors and improper operations.

The emergence of "labor shortage" has led to increased mobility of workers. Workers are working at several construction sites at the same time, which increases the difficulty of management. Therefore, it is particularly important to implement a safety technical briefing system and pre-shift activities. , the disclosure system and pre-shift activities can effectively reduce or even avoid the occurrence of workers' violations of regulations.

3. Normalize safety inspections

Safety risks come from the production process. As long as production activities are in progress, safety risks exist objectively. Building construction is the best embodiment of this theory. No matter how sound the rules and regulations on the construction site are, how perfect the organizational system is, and how strict the management is, as long as the project is not completed, safety hazards will exist, and safety inspections need to be carried out to discover hidden hazards and eliminate them. Hidden danger.

Therefore, safety inspections are an important measure to ensure safe production. Enterprises must carry out regular safety inspections on projects under construction by the company and project department safety management agencies in accordance with laws and regulations, discover hidden dangers, and issue rectification notices for hidden dangers. Provide explanations and guidance on the rectification of hidden dangers, and archive each inspection and rectification. After the inspection, the causes of the hidden dangers should be analyzed and studied, and workers should be notified during team activities to avoid similar hidden dangers from recurring.

4. Implement standardized management and create a safe production atmosphere

Human behavior and emotions are easily affected by the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure safe production and a clean and orderly working environment. It is essential, and standardized management of construction projects is an effective measure to create a good safety production atmosphere.

Standardized management of construction projects runs through all aspects of construction, which has greatly improved the working environment at the construction site. Standardized management makes the material stacking, road hardening and dust control at the construction site more standardized. The working and living environment of the workers have been greatly improved, and the dirty and messy appearance has been changed to clean and orderly.

Enterprises should make full use of blackboards, exposure columns, etc., strengthen publicity by hanging warning signs, warning slogans, and drawing warning walls, and always remind on-site personnel to create a work atmosphere where risks are kept in mind and safety is always at hand, so as to truly complete the work. A shift in thinking from passive safety to active safety.

(4) Implement a comprehensive evaluation system for the safety work of supervision enterprises

The competent government departments shall evaluate the safety supervision work of supervision enterprises every year as the basis for the qualification level and supervision level of supervision enterprises. , and regularly conduct safety supervision level assessments on employees of supervision companies. Full-time safety supervisors assigned to supervision companies must be qualified personnel.

4. Conclusion

Construction is a large and complex system project and a dynamic process that changes all the time. The safety management of the construction site should also change with the changes in the process. . Only by continuously improving and improving the safety management system, safety technical measures and safety protection levels as the project progress changes can safety risks be eliminated to the greatest extent and safety accidents avoided. Safety first, prevention first. Prevention is the core of safety management. Only when the government, construction, construction, supervision and even society work together to improve the quality and safety awareness of employees, increase investment in safety protection, improve safety protection measures, and establish the idea of ??preventing problems before they occur. , can we fundamentally reduce the occurrence of safety accidents and truly achieve safe production.
