Safety awareness is a very important part of DuPont's corporate culture, which runs through DuPont's business and production activities and extends to every detail of life. In addition to establishing a successful enterprise with a responsible attitude, DuPont has also created a safe and healthy culture and environment, which fully embodies DuPont's humanistic care for employees.

1 DuPont's safety beliefs and objectives

When Du Banggang was born, he was mainly engaged in the production of gunpowder. Dupont is well aware of the dangers of explosive production, storage and transportation, and shows great concern for the safety of employees. For more than 200 years, safety has been one of DuPont's core values and an important part of DuPont's work. Dupont abides by all occupational safety and health laws and regulations, and strives to exceed the requirements of laws and regulations.

Dupont realized that enterprises should not only provide employees with job opportunities, but also provide employees with a safe and healthy working environment. No matter where the factory is built, it must be a safe factory. Dupont's belief was and still is: "All safety accidents can be avoided", which is also the cornerstone of DuPont's continuous improvement of production safety. 1994, DuPont put forward the safety goal of "zero industrial injury, zero occupational disease and zero accident".

At present, DuPont's safety system covers a wide range, focusing not only on the safety of employees, but also on the safety of contractors. For example, the company's partners in transportation, construction and tourism must comply with DuPont's safety standards. There are also strict safety requirements for suppliers, customers and other partners, such as requiring construction contractors to be equipped with PPE (Personal Safety Facilities). Dupont not only pays attention to the safety of working hours, but also emphasizes the safety of non-working hours, so that employees can take safety habits home.

2 DuPont safety culture construction

In DuPont, "safety" is not a slogan, but a deep-rooted culture. Dupont Company raises employees' safety awareness and creates safety culture through diversified safety publicity activities. Formed a strict safety system, employees consciously abide by it, and a good tradition of firm implementation of management.

Dupont believes that managers must be responsible for the safety of employees and do everything possible to control processes that are prone to danger. Dupont decided to move dupont family into the factory from the lesson of blood and take risks with the workers.

Dupont family's personnel take the lead. They are always the first to operate all new machines and equipment. Several dupont family members who have made great contributions to Dupont's cause gave their lives for it. As early as 18 1 1, DuPont took the lead in formulating employee safety plans and became the first company in the world to formulate safety regulations. 1907 distributed the first aid manual to all employees; 19 1 1 year, DuPont established the world's first enterprise safety committee to study the introduction of various safety facilities and draft safety management regulations; 19 12 began to establish safety statistics and analysis; In 1950s, we began to check the safety status of employees after work and took many measures. 1986 introduces the process hazard management plan.

Today's DuPont has already stopped the production of gunpowder and has already divested its oil business. However, the company's safety management is more detailed. Dupont Company considers the design, construction, production, maintenance, transportation and other aspects to ensure that its safety is accepted by the society, achieve the purpose of environmental protection, and have comprehensive emergency preparedness. The first agenda of each meeting is to introduce safety knowledge and emergency escape routes.

Safety culture can only be established and improved through the joint efforts of all members of the enterprise. Dupont always requires employees to respect nature and life and form a safety management culture with full participation. When joining DuPont, every employee must promise to abide by the safety concept that "safety is the condition of employment". In order to ensure that every employee knows the safety management regulations that should be observed, DuPont's safety regulations and operating procedures should be formulated with the participation of employees. Dupont organizes different forms of safety activities every month, including safety knowledge contests and safety theory debates. Dupont requires all employees to be responsible for the safety of themselves and other employees. Form a strong corporate safety culture atmosphere and self-prevention awareness among the employees. Dupont has established a very mature safety training system. This series of training courses considers the work contents of employees at different levels and systematically expounds the concepts, principles, methods and skills of safety management. It starts with the safety culture of the enterprise and the safety commitment of the leadership, focuses on the behavior of employees, and covers the key areas of safety management. Dupont employees must receive strict industrial safety training to ensure that every employee can master the knowledge of emergency self-rescue in case of fire.

Dupont has clear rewards and punishments in terms of safety, and has set up a variety of different safety awards. As early as 1923, DuPont established the "Presidential Award for No Accident Record". 1990 DuPont set up the "Outstanding Award for Safety, Health and Environmental Protection", which is open to enterprises and the whole society, and the winning individuals or groups can get certain rewards. DuPont set up a board of directors and awarded safety award. All DuPont team awards, personal promotions, and the status and image of the factories in DuPont Group are basically determined by the safety performance of the department.

Any operation may cause an accident.

According to the viewpoint of system safety engineering, danger means that the possibility of unexpected consequences in the system exceeds people's tolerance. Generally, the degree of danger is used to express the degree of danger.

The direct causes of the accident include: the unsafe state of machinery, materials and environment; People's unsafe behavior; Safety accidents caused by negligence of enterprise's own management. Therefore, it is not that accidents can be completely avoided by prevention alone, which is beyond the reach of human resources.
