Initiative on Effectively Carrying Out the “Safe Production Month” Campaign in the Pesticide Industry

Dear Member Organizations: This June marks the 21st National “Work Safety Month.” To thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on work safety, firmly establish the concept of safe development, strengthen publicity efforts for work safety, encourage enterprises to fulfill their primary responsibility for work safety, effectively prevent and manage safety risks, enhance the inherent safety level of enterprises, and promote a sustained and steady improvement in work safety within the pesticide industry, the Association calls upon all member organizations to earnestly carry out activities for the 2022 “Work Safety Month.” Relevant matters are hereby notified as follows: I. Theme of the Campaign “Comply with the Work Safety Law and Be the Primary Person Responsible” II. Activities (1) Conduct Thematic Education to Strengthen Work Safety Awareness Taking the opportunity of organizing the National “Work Safety Month” activities, arrange at least one session of theoretical study, organize collective viewing of the TV documentary “Life Is Heavier Than Mount Tai—Studying General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Important Expositions on Work Safety,” and deepen understanding of his key ideas on work safety. Through thematic seminars, centralized briefings, training sessions, and other formats, translate learning outcomes into tangible results that advance safe development. Diligently organize study and dissemination of the fifteen measures for work safety; enterprise leaders should take the lead in emphasizing safety, with the primary responsible person delivering dedicated safety lectures, frontline workers participating in interactive discussions, and conducting open classes, group talks, and team meetings on work safety. (2) Study and Implement the Work Safety Law to Encourage the “Primary Person Responsible” to Comply with Laws and Fulfill Duties The legal representative, actual controller, and person in charge of each enterprise must consciously prioritize safety throughout all aspects of their work, truly assume the responsibilities of the “primary person responsible” for work safety, strictly fulfill the seven duties stipulated by the Work Safety Law, and take the lead in respecting, studying, and abiding by the law. They should proactively assess risks, identify potential hazards, organize comprehensive emergency response drills and knowledge‑training sessions for all employees, and actively participate in the “Safety Pledge by the Primary Person Responsible” campaign. (3) Provide Safety Skills and Knowledge Training to Enhance Enterprises’ Inherent Safety Level Promote the philosophy of safe development, disseminate safety knowledge, and cultivate a safety culture. Conduct training on workplace safety and fire‑prevention skills to further reinforce the principle that enterprise leaders “must prioritize safety,” safety management personnel “should know how to ensure safety,” and all employees “understand safety.” Widely launch initiatives such as “I Am a Safety Whistleblower” and “Identify Hazards Around Us” to motivate employees to actively and voluntarily fulfill their work safety responsibilities. Focus on key workshops, critical processes, and pivotal positions, encouraging staff to conduct self‑inspections and corrective actions on essential equipment and major operations, collaboratively identifying risks and hazards, thereby improving the overall inherent safety level of the enterprise. (4) Conduct Emergency Response Drills to Enhance Emergency Rescue Capabilities Further revise and refine emergency response plans, continuously improve the dual prevention mechanism of risk control and hazard elimination, especially for enterprises involved in the production of hazardous chemicals. Thoroughly identify and address significant safety risks, conduct extensive on-site response drills and emergency procedures tailored to key positions—particularly practical, hands‑on initial response exercises for workshop and team members—strengthen awareness of standards and regulations, and enhance emergency response capabilities. During “Work Safety Month,” organize at least one emergency drill to continually boost emergency rescue preparedness. (5) Actively Participate in “Safety Promotion and Consultation Day” Events to Strengthen Social Responsibility Utilize banners, posters, display windows, short videos, official WeChat accounts, and other media channels to carry out multi‑faceted, three‑dimensional publicity campaigns, vigorously promoting the Work Safety Law and related regulations, widely disseminating safety knowledge, and fostering a strong atmosphere of “caring for life and prioritizing safety.” In conjunction with enterprise characteristics, organize engaging safety promotion and consultation events for employees’ families and local community residents, launching initiatives such as “Bringing Safety Home,” “Delivering Safety Door‑to‑Door,” “Safety Volunteers in Action,” and various emergency response experience activities. Together, raise public awareness of safety and emergency preparedness, reinforcing corporate social responsibility. III. Support for the Campaign During the campaign period, the China Pesticide Industry Association will leverage its own media platforms to widely publicize exemplary activity cases, highlight advanced models, and harness the demonstration effect of outstanding enterprises to elevate the overall level of work safety publicity within the pesticide industry. All member organizations are requested to submit outstanding activity videos, promotional reports, or summaries of experiences to the China Pesticide Industry Association by June 30.
