【Practice risk identification“eyes of fire”.】

Intrinsic safety is a vivid practice of the concept of “Employee First”. Shougang Gitane has completed the identification and evaluation of 1,547 safety risks for the high-risk areas in the production process, and has carried out dynamic management. For the identification of molten metal, hydrogen, natural gas, three larger risks, the development of improved control measures. Meanwhile, with the help of information technology initiatives, we cooperated with Shouxin to promote the intelligent project of hidden danger investigation. Through on-line intelligent camera, safety interlocking and other measures, the molten metal lifting area of the three-phase process realizes the protection functions such as interlocking of personnel misentry and crane travel, counting of personnel in slag pit cleaning operation, and remote monitoring of safety data, further preventing safety risks such as burns from molten metal and lifting injuries, and laying a solid foundation for the implementation of intelligent safety management in the company. Shougang Jitai'an safety director Shi Wenhui said: “to protect the personal safety of workers is the most powerful interpretation of the enterprise ‘employees first’ concept. Multi-disciplinary and multi-departmental co-ordination and organization of equipment, safety and production operation areas have formed a safety management synergy and effectively reduced the safety risk factor. At the same time, it also witnessed a solid step forward in the company's safety management digital transformation work.”

【Heart to investigate the hidden danger of“dissecting the sparrow”】

In order to do a good job in the dynamic zero work of major accident hidden danger, Shougang Gitane against the state issued the “industrial and trade industry major hidden danger determination standard”, sorted out 35 major accident hidden danger determination standard related to it, and organized each unit to carry out self-check and rectification on an ongoing basis. Authoritative experts in the field of industrial and trade safety industry were invited to conduct special training on the determination criteria of major hidden accidents, and 12 safety rectification suggestions were put forward for Shougang Jitai'an's three-phase process in conjunction with the “safety check-up”. Relevant departments and professions discussed and determined the rectification and implementation plan, and completed the comprehensive treatment. Refining and rolling operations area three-phase process team leader Yu Fahong said at the team meeting: “We have to be in accordance with the standard specifications, against the various points of the team, holding a ‘magnifying glass’ squatting down ‘to see the ants’, and seriously check and solve the problem! Hidden danger resolutely can not be overnight. We just want to give the team a safe environment, so that we can feel at ease, our families can rest assured.” Through this “invited in” mode of governance, Shougang Jitai'an personnel at all levels to broaden the cognitive boundaries of the determination of major accidents and hidden dangers, and promote the Shougang Jitai'an metal melting process site governance level effectively.

【“Intrinsic segregation”by intelligent means】

Increasing investment in intrinsic safety programs can effectively reduce potential safety hazards and increase the stability and reliability of the production process. It not only helps to improve the economic efficiency of the enterprise, but also enhances the corporate image and gains wider recognition and trust from customers. Shougang Jitai'an pickling process automation transformation, coarse wire automatic packaging, three-phase process electrode head automatic collection of three projects to achieve the purpose of “mechanized replacement, automation and reduction of manpower”, effectively reduce the risk of manual operation, improve production efficiency and safety. Refining and rolling operation area party branch secretary, operation chief Wang Zhiqiang said: “the first line of production organization, first of all, to raise the safety awareness of the workers. To rely on 'intelligent' means to extend the safety management 'tentacles', in particular, to increase investment, in the essential safety up and down the 'real effort', so as to ensure that the production is smooth and stable and the The enterprise's healthy and sustainable high-quality development.” As of October, Shougang Jitai'an has invested a total of 4.68 million yuan in its 2024 essentialized safety project, effectively managing key safety risks such as high-temperature metal burning, acid and alkali corrosion, and reducing the value of job safety risks by more than 90%.

【Upgrading of key equipment“targeted policy”】

Shougang Gitane purification process of the original electrode lift using wire rope winch mechanism, due to the wire rope life limitations, purification machine failure, maintenance personnel overhaul operations frequently, high risk of exposure. In order to effectively solve this problem, reduce the equipment failure rate, reduce the labor intensity of employees, the company party committee organized energy and environmental protection department and refining and rolling operation area personnel on-site research, and ultimately determined the “servo motor + ballscrew” of the new transmission mechanism. This mechanism not only has high precision and improves the overall quality of ingots, but also greatly improves the service life of the equipment and effectively reduces the frequency of maintenance work. After the implementation of the project, the safety risk value was reduced from 210 to 10.5, and through the optimization and improvement of the structure of key equipment, the purpose of intrinsic safety risk reduction was achieved. Sun Haoxin, the person in charge of equipment management, said, “The wire rope drive before the equipment upgrade was sometimes not in place, and there were often problems with stability, and there were certain safety hazards on site. After the transformation of the control accuracy of the equipment and smelting stability improved substantially, the staff operation is more convenient, equipment operation is more efficient, but also on the ingot intrinsic product quality enhancement has also had an obvious role in promoting.”

【Specialized governance to make up for“shortcomings and weaknesses”】

Shougang Gitane has carried out special management of experimental and inspection safety in combination with the actual site. A special working group was set up to formulate and implement the Safety Management Enhancement Program for R&D Center. Weekly special scheduling meetings were organized to promote the completion of the re-revision and combing of inspection and experimental safety regulations, and special training was given to the operating personnel. Through the synergy with the environmental protection profession, we organized the cleanup and disposal of 52 categories of old hazardous chemicals, and clarified the principle of dispensing test reagents now. In accordance with the landmark, the stock limit of 4 categories of hazardous chemicals, including sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and alcohol, was clarified, and the storage of hazardous chemicals was reduced by more than 80%, and the safety risk of the first category of hazardous sources continued to decline. “There are more chances that you will usually come into contact with chemicals and electrical equipment, and there are risks such as fire and burns. Chemicals mistakenly sprinkled on electrical equipment may also induce electrocution accidents. Categorized storage not only facilitates work, but also protects the personal safety of the workers, which can be said to be two birds with one stone”, said Zhang Zhanguo, an inspector at the R&D center.

【Innovative missionary model“combination of real and virtual”】

Aiming at the risks and safety hazards of enterprise production and operation, Shougang Gitane has built the Gitane VR Safety Experience Center with 7 experience modules, such as object strikes, mechanical injuries, electrocution injuries, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Digital VR scenes and somatosensory equipment experience, so that workers seem to be in the “accident” scene, helping workers to correctly recognize the hazards of safety accidents, and enhance the safety awareness. This year's new college students Zhao Wei after participating in safety training and experience hall, he said: “safety is vital to each of us, such an experience allows me to more deeply understand the importance of safety, in the feeling of ‘shock’ experience at the same time, is conducive to recognizing the causes of accidents, mastering the precautionary measures, to help us get through the ‘newbie’ experience. It provides a strong support for us to pass the 'novice protection period' smoothly.” Up to now, the safety experience hall has greeted all the shifts and new employees for a total of 437 times. Through the VR live-action experience, simulated accident scene, so that workers have a more intuitive understanding of safety accidents, really put the “safety awareness” in the heart of the first place.
