On June 20, the State Administration of Work Safety released the "2014 Safety Science and Technology Innovation Guide." As someone with a professional interest in safety science, I have carefully reviewed the topics outlined in this guide. The document covers 151 main areas, with over 600 sub-topics, which comprehensively address current production fields and the technologies that professionals in various industries are involved in. These topics are closely related to daily work and safety management.
When looking at these small but critical technical details, it's clear that many of them pose significant challenges in real-life safety management. The confusion around these issues is understandable. However, the state has now officially identified these key technical problems as priority research areas through the publication of this guide, offering a clear direction for technological innovation.
Identifying the problem is often the first step toward solving it. As a manager responsible for business operations and safety, I believe we need to embrace what I call the "three dissatisfactions" in the field of safety technology innovation.
First, we should not be satisfied with the current technical regulations and operational procedures. We must thoroughly examine how these regulations align with real-world issues and actively identify any flaws in the existing guidelines. By integrating these deficiencies with practical problems, we can better define our research topics and avoid unnecessary debates about the level of safety protection. This helps us pinpoint the core of the issue.
Second, we should not be satisfied with the safety distances specified in current regulations. Reducing the required safety distance to an optimal level is essential for improving overall safety. For example, national regulations require a 500-meter buffer zone around gas stations, meaning that no buildings can be constructed within that radius. This results in a large land requirement—approximately 0.785 square kilometers—for each station. Such high costs make it challenging to transition to new energy solutions. Similarly, seismic exploration requires specific safety distances: 120 meters in open areas and 60 meters in wells. In mountainous regions, where terrain is complex, maintaining such distances becomes impractical. Through improved well depth definitions and positive detonation techniques, we were able to reduce the safe distance to 30 meters, significantly enhancing both safety and efficiency.
Third, we should not be satisfied with the occupational hazards and risk levels outlined in the regulations. These hazards are inherently dangerous to human health. To improve safety, we must strengthen our efforts in safety technology research by learning from others and adopting more advanced methods to reduce risks and harmful factors effectively.
In short, by consistently maintaining a mindset of dissatisfaction in safety technology innovation, focusing on safety distances, hazard concentrations, and procedural flaws, we can gradually achieve qualitative improvements. Over time, this will lead to meaningful breakthroughs in safe production. I believe that with continuous effort, we can quickly address many of the safety challenges faced by enterprises and provide strong technical support for their sustainable and safe development.
