Some people say: if you don't like a person, let him work in security, exhausting him; if you like a person, let him work in security too, sharpening his will and changing his temper!

But look at it from another angle: a strong will, a generous mind,d a spirit of not being afraid of exhaustion are exactly what most people lack; these qualities are necessary for safe people to stand out, be valued, and be treated.

But quality alone is not enough. Here is a list of the different ways safety people work from staff to director, see which level they belong to,d change their working style and attitude, it will work wonders for the effectiveness of the work and improve the treatment.

Entry Entry-level person - send out notices and wait for results

Send out the inspection notices and then go to the site and inspect for the sake of inspection. But only how many safety hazards have been investigated and how many safety problems have been found is not enough; analysis needs to be carried out and countermeasures need to be developed in the results that the leaders and the site need.

Bronze-level safety officers - doing inspections, taking records

Send out safety inspection notices, then go down to the site yourself, look carefully at each area and make the appropriate analysis and records. For good safety officers, inspection is the process, analysis and record-keeping are the results, and improvement is the effect.

Silver-level safety officer - go by experience, make judgments

There is no standard, no program, and no process, there is a general inspection content in the mind and should focus on the inspection area, and then go to start the safety inspection, with their own rich experience in safety work, to conclude whether to pass or meet the corresponding requirements, so that the inspection process into the results, but the quality of inspection work, inspection methods can not be effectively passed on internally.

Safety Officer

Gold level safety officer - do the standard, strict assessment

According to laws and regulations and the requirements of superiors, safety checklists, inspection methods, and processes are developed, and things found to be against the rules or discipline are dealt with in strict accordance with the company system, and then an inspection report is formed.

However, the result of this is that the appropriate forms and data are produced, while the safety awareness, knowledge and skills, and emotions of the equipment, production site, and workforce are not well understood.

Therefore, the submission of an inspection report is not the result; it is the result of letting the company know the current management status, management level, and cultural climate. Gold-level safety person can already become the level safety team leader, monthly salary of 5000~8000 RMB quite can be.

Platinum level safety person - do talk and give solutions

For the hidden dangers checked out, face-to-face conversation with the leadership, the events, and data in the record check, do a detailed explanation, the result is to let the leadership of some safety rectification of the difficulties or points more profound understanding, improve the leadership of the importance of safety, and give their corresponding solutions and advice.

Throwing the problems inspected to the leaders and the company is not the result, letting the leaders understand the problems, having several options for them to choose from, and then making the right solution is the result. At this level, you have already left the level of safety officer and reached the middle level of safety management.

Diamond-level safety person - doing training and supervision

Instead of handing in the inspection results and solutions as if they were finished, systematic training is carried out to enable workshop managers and team leaders to grasp the knowledge and tools for safety inspections as soon as possible, helping them to be able to complete safety inspections in their respective areas independently and become a grassroots manager who is also qualified in safety management.

At the same time, the training is treated as a key assessment mechanism and the regular monitoring of the performance of the grassroots managers in the corresponding safety management is treated as the usual assessment mechanism. Having trained grassroots managers is not the result, they are qualified is the result.

Grey-level safety people - do the culture, do the promotion

Instead of locating yourself as a safety supervisor and getting caught up in the specific safety management business, you should define yourself as one of the main promoters of the company's safety culture, assist leaders in doing the construction and promotion of safety culture, put staff safety and production safety in the first place, help staff to be essential safety employees, improve professionalism, establish the safety values promoted by the company, and input a strong spirit for safe production Power, etc.

Therefore, inspection is not the result, let the staff participate in the safety culture activities, no safety accidents, and then create more value for the company, themselves is the result.

The jewel of safety people - do the strategy, do the echelon

First of all, we have a thorough understanding of the company's strategy and can develop a safety planning strategy that meets the requirements of our leaders and implement it to the end, not only to achieve "zero accidents", but also to achieve "risks under control", to provide the company with The company's development strategy is supported by a strong safety guarantee.

Therefore, a stage of safety inspection is not the result, treating inspection as a daily business, making strategic safety planning, and forming a safety management mechanism is the result.

King-class safety people - do the process, do the legacy

Not only is he a standard bearer of the company's execution and an example of professionalism, but he is also a cultural promoter and implementer of the safety talent training strategy, a strategic manager in his own right, who has to consider the company's sustainable development, standardize, process and tool up the work of safety products and do inheritance.
