On the afternoon of August 8, the fifth supervision team of CPC Suzhou Municipal Committee made an inspection tour on production safety and occupational hazards in Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP). The participating officials included Wang Xiang, Standing Committee Member of CPC Suzhou Municipal Committee and Secretary of CPC SIP Working Committee, Chairman Zhu Zhengrong of Suzhou Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, as well as heads of Suzhou Fire Department, SIP bureaus of organization and personnel, environment protection, work safety, police department, and quality supervision.

The team inspected the workshops and warehouses of Daikin AC Suzhou, Jiegao Metal Products, and Arch Chemicals (China), checking the storage of raw materials, wastes, and dangerous chemicals as well as the safety facilities and the implementation of safety regulations, demanding immediate rectifications on the issues found.

In addition to first-class technologies and equipment, a first-class company should also have first-class production environment. "We can't take any risk when it comes to safe production," said the local Party leader, who urged the management to take up the responsibility of safeguarding their production, to cooperate with supervision authorities, to invest in safety facilities, to establish strict standards and procedures, and more importantly, to carry them out on a daily basis.

  

To tighten the supervision over production safety, SIP government introduced a grid management system and improved its corporate information register. The recent theme meetings held after the fatal blast in a Kunshan factory on August 2 assigned a special task force, asked the enterprises involving metal dust during production process to make self-examination, and invited experts to discuss the major issues facing high-risk companies. The plan for next stage is to extend to wider areas including dangerous chemicals, road safety, fire control, construction sites, rental housing, and dilapidated buildings.
