O Production safety drill
In implementing safe production,
PowerChina pays attention not only to
the oretical training, but also to practice
and exercises. The company has built
a safety experience hall, and organizes
employees to get the experience
personally so as to strengthen safety
awareness; furthermore, it organizes
emergency response drills from time
to time, enabling employees to acquire
safety knowledge in practice.
Safety experience hall - enhancing employees' safety awareness
Considering the actual situation of the project scale and the participating construction
personnel, the company has built a comprehensive safety experience hall in the site of
Nam Ou River Phase II Level-7 Hydropower Station. The experience hall covers an area
of 2,000 square meters, and contains 14 experience items such as "comprehensive bent
experience, safety helmet impact, and use of safety belt". It provides safety experience
integrating theoretical knowledge, protective skills and live practice, improving the self-
rescue and mutual aid capabilities of frontline operators especially local employees in
the event of emergency through practice and exercises.
In June 2017, as one of the overall activities of the "Safe Production Month", Nam Ou
River Level-7 Hydropower Station Project Department organized all the employees
for personal experience in the safety experience hall. Since the experience hall was
officially put into use, close to 1,000 people have experienced practice and exercise with
good results.
