Video Address and Opening Remarks

Zhang Guangpeng, Deputy Director (Acting Head), NHC Occupational Safety and Health Research Center

Zhang Guangpeng emphasized the complexity, severity, and long-term challenges of current work safety tasks. He proposed five key areas for Hainan to strengthen safety management:

• improving institutional mechanisms

• conducting major hazard inspections and rectification

Li Wenxiu stressed that hospital leaders must raise their political standing and strengthen the sense of responsibility of “always being alert and never at ease.”

She called for full implementation of central and provincial requirements on work safety, adhering to the principles of:

• people-first, life-first

• “Party and administrative responsibility on the same track”

• “whoever manages operations must manage safety”

She emphasized that hospital leaders must firmly assume the primary responsibility for safety production, prevent major safety incidents, and protect people’s lives and property.

She further noted the need to shift from passive accountability to proactive risk management, strengthen hazard identification and rectification, and improve legal and managerial capacity under the context of Hainan Free Trade Port development.
