To effectively ensure the safe growth of new mining employees and comprehensively enhance the quality of safety education and training, Xiadian Gold Mine has recently launched a series of innovative measures centered around the safety training of new employees. From sign management and point incentives to expert lectures and mentorship, a systematic, humanized, and scientific safety education and training system has been established, laying a solid foundation for the growth of new employees.
"Yellow armband" reveals identity, safety reminder always at hand.
The mine has adopted the "new employee" yellow armband as a visual management tool, establishing an explicit safety barrier for new employees. This armband serves not only as a "tightening spell" for self-awareness among new employees, but also as a "signal light" that prompts older employees to actively pay attention and provide assistance. Through this "two-way reminder" mechanism, individual safety responsibilities have been successfully transformed into collective actions shared by the team. The "visual" identity tag not only enhances the sense of belonging among new employees, but also fosters a positive atmosphere within the entire mine where "everyone cares about new employees and everyone protects new colleagues".
The point system stimulates vitality, and training management becomes more scientific.
To effectively stimulate the intrinsic motivation of new employees to participate in safety training, the mine scientifically introduced a "point system" management system. Based on the "Detailed Rules for the Evaluation of New Employee Training Points", a quantitative evaluation system covering attendance discipline, theoretical examination scores, practical skill levels, civilized hygiene, and participation in temporary tasks was established. The accumulation of points is directly linked to the regularization and job placement, as well as the evaluation of excellence and advancement. By connecting the entire process of "learning, practice, and examination", a virtuous cycle of "incentives for learning, norms for practice, and standards for examination" is achieved, promoting the transformation of new employees from "being told to be safe" to "wanting to be safe, being able to be safe, and being capable of being safe".
Experienced teachers impart knowledge, elevating the quality of training to new heights.
The quality of safety training is directly related to the safety baseline of new employees' future work. The mine is willing to invest and make precise efforts in training resources, and has jointly engaged Jinan Xinbo Training School to hire national-level trainers and provincial-level safety experts to form a team of lecturers, as well as a dedicated safety training vehicle, to provide systematic and professional mine-level safety training for new employees.The course content not only covers laws and regulations such as the "Production Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Safety Regulations for Metal and Non-Metal Mines", but also emphasizes practicality and relevance. Through real accident case analysis, scenario simulation drills, interactive Q&A sessions, and other forms, lecturers provide in-depth explanations of key skills such as job risk identification, hidden danger investigation, and emergency response. The safety training vehicle is used to train new employees on on-site first aid knowledge such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, fire extinguishers, self-rescue devices, and high-altitude falls, allowing them to build a solid safety mindset through teaching that is "understandable, learnable, and applicable".
"Mentorship" - passing on knowledge and experience, with someone guiding the journey of growth.
The mine has deeply implemented the "mentorship" working mechanism, accurately assigning experienced and competent technical backbones as "mentors" for each new employee. Mentorship agreements are signed, specifying the specific responsibilities and goals of passing on knowledge, providing assistance, and guiding. In the practical process, mentors not only impart job operation skills and strengthen on-site safety awareness, but also provide careful care in psychological adaptation and team integration, comprehensively assisting new employees to quickly adapt to the mining environment, master professional skills, and deeply integrate into team culture, achieving a steady leap from "newcomers in the workplace" to "elite employees in their positions". This "one-on-one" mentoring model not only tangibly inherits the "craftsman spirit" of Zhaojin people, but also lays a warm and supportive fast track for new employees' growth.
Safety begins anew, and growth starts from the heart. This is not only the commitment of Xiadian Gold Mine, but also the firm belief of the entire industry towards the future. Xiadian Gold Mine is adopting higher standards, more practical measures, and warmer care to secure the "first safety buckle" for new employees, guiding them to take their "first step" in the workplace steadily, and jointly strengthening the safety foundation for the high-quality development of the enterprise.
