To further implement the Work Safety Law and the work safety policy of “safety first, prevention-oriented, and comprehensive management,” and to review the company’s safety performance while outlining the next steps in work safety efforts, the relevant officials responsible for work safety at the Tibet Company conducted a tabletop exercise in the conference room at 4:30 p.m. on November 14, 2023. Additionally, at 3:00 p.m. on the 16th, the company organized a comprehensive on-site emergency response drill for work safety incidents, with General Manager Yang Mingquan serving as the overall commander and Deputy General Manager Ding Rui as the deputy commander.

During the comprehensive emergency drill on the 16th, all employees participated in the following activities: a fire‑response and evacuation exercise; on‑site training on the use of emergency and firefighting equipment; a fire‑extinguishing drill focusing on the operation of firefighting equipment; and a specialized emergency rescue‑response exercise for a methanol leak and subsequent fire at the methanol storage tank area, a major hazard source.

During the drill, through a combination of instruction and hands-on practice, all employees gained an understanding of the company’s emergency response procedures for sudden incidents, learned how to use emergency equipment, and acquired knowledge on responding to fires involving major hazard sources and on evacuation. They also recognized the critical importance of mastering emergency response and evacuation skills in the event of an unexpected accident.

To ensure the smooth execution of this emergency rescue operation, the management of the Tibet Company has meticulously planned and deployed the exercise in accordance with the detailed plan developed by the Safety and Environmental Protection Department, thereby guaranteeing that each phase is carried out in a rigorous and orderly manner.

Following the drill, Executive Director Shi Yueqiang not only commended the results achieved but also provided a detailed explanation of the underlying principles and specific details observed during the exercise, enabling all employees to gain a deeper understanding and better integration of the drill’s key takeaways.

At the conclusion of the drill, General Manager Yang Mingquan issued instructions to all employees regarding the resumption of work and production on the 17th, urging everyone to get back into gear, guard against “post-holiday syndrome,” keep safety top of mind, and “come to work with a smile and return home safely.”

The Tibet Company will take this drill as an opportunity to thoroughly review its lessons learned, refine its on-site emergency response plan, strengthen routine safety training, enhance all employees’ awareness of safety precautions, eliminate potential hazards, and prevent accidents, thereby ensuring the safe and steady advancement of the company’s development.
