　　Anhui Province’s “Thirty Stringent Measures for Preventing Typical Accidents in the Industrial and Commercial Sectors”

　　To resolutely prevent and curb mechanical injuries, falls from height, and strikes by falling objects in the industrial and commercial sectors, and in response to the salient issues currently prevailing, the following measures are hereby proposed:

　　I. Prevention of Mechanical Injury Accidents

　　1. All personnel must complete training on the job-specific safety operating procedures and pass the assessment, acquire the necessary safety skills for their position, be familiar with the associated safety risks and emergency response measures, and strictly adhere to the job responsibility system and safety operating procedures.

　　2. Before commencing work, personal protective equipment must be properly worn and used; helmet straps and shoe laces must be securely fastened, cuffs tightened, and garment hems secured. Long hair must be contained within a headgear. When working on equipment with rotating parts, gloves and scarves are strictly prohibited.

　　3. Before commencing work, ensure that the equipment and safety devices (systems) are in proper working order; during operation, it is strictly prohibited to allow your head, hands, or body to enter the operating range of the machinery.

　　4. All exposed rotating parts of equipment that can be reached by human body parts must be equipped with complete and reliable guards or protective barriers.

　　5. Mechanical equipment and process tooling must be in good working order and reliable; all safety devices—including travel limit switches, grounding, leakage protection, overload and overcurrent protection, automatic safeguards, electrical–mechanical interlocks, and audible and visual emergency‑stop alarms—must be sensitive and effective.

　　6. Safety guards must be installed at the head, tail, and turning sections of belt conveyors and roller conveyors. On the pedestrian side, pull‑cord emergency stop switches must be provided at intervals not exceeding 60 m; for conveyor lengths less than 30 m, the distance from any point to the nearest emergency stop button must be no greater than 10 m. In addition, audible and visual start‑up alarms shall be installed, and the equipment may only be started after safety has been confirmed.

　　7. Equipment inspection and maintenance must strictly adhere to procedures such as isolating and de-energizing power media (fluids, electricity, gas), applying locks and tags, and assigning dedicated supervisors. Work is prohibited if specialized tools are unavailable or if the necessary conditions for inspection and maintenance are not met. Prior to trial operation, it is mandatory to verify that all personnel have vacated the equipment’s operating area before removing tags, unlocking, and closing the circuit breaker.

　　8. It is strictly prohibited to perform operations such as measurement, adjustment, cleaning, lubrication, inspection, maintenance, or servicing while the machine is running. When carrying out these tasks with the machine stopped, the machine’s start-up device must be locked, and a warning sign must be posted.

　　9. When temporarily addressing production abnormalities, the equipment must be de-energized, ensuring that safety devices such as the emergency stop button and light curtains are activated, and that control switches are locked out and tagged with appropriate warning signs.

　　10. Work areas for automated equipment such as robots, large CNC machine tools, and automated production lines must be equipped with warning signs and enclosed protective barriers. Maintenance doors and openings must be fitted with effective safety pins, safety locks, or photoelectric safety interlocks.

　　 II. Prevention of Object-Strike Accidents

　　1. Personnel entering the production area must wear approved safety helmets and personal protective equipment, carry tools in a tool bag, and conduct a thorough safety check of their immediate surroundings.

　　2. Passageways where objects may fall from above must be equipped with reliable safety nets or protective canopies; edge protection must be installed on work platforms; and any items placed on or suspended from buildings, structures, or equipment must be secured with appropriate measures to prevent them from falling.

　　3. The floor at the hoisting opening for installing and securing lifting equipment must be marked with conspicuous safety warning signs, and vertical lifting devices must be equipped with upper and lower limit switches as well as load‑limiting protective guardrails and doors.

　　4. Pressure vessels such as autoclaves that require opening for material retrieval must be equipped with reliable and effective interlock protection devices for door opening/closing, gas supply/shutdown, and internal vessel pressure.

　　5. Rotating equipment must be fitted with protective guards of adequate strength. Regular inspections and tightening of loose components—such as bolts, washers, and keys—on rotating machinery are required. The use of high-speed rotating tools, including grinders and angle grinders, is strictly prohibited without their protective guards in place.

　　6. Before use, dies and punches for stamping, forging, and similar equipment must be inspected for cracks or looseness. Stamping equipment must be equipped with safety locks and die‑positioning devices, as well as safety guards to prevent flying debris during stamping operations. Prior to stamping or forging high‑temperature workpieces, dies and punches must be preheated.

　　7. Workers in stamping, forging, hydraulic leveling, electric shoveling, and other such positions must wear impact‑resistant protective gear, including face shields and leather aprons.

　　8. At the connection points of high-pressure hoses on hydraulic equipment such as die‑casting machines, extruders, and filter presses, U‑shaped clamps must be used for secure fastening, or dedicated anti‑disconnection wire ropes must be employed.

　　9. When stacking and palletizing, the load-bearing capacity of the stacking area must be taken into account. For outdoor stockpiling, the increased weight due to moisture absorption must be considered in terms of its impact on the structure’s load‑carrying capacity. Stacking and palletizing shall be neat and orderly; over‑height stacking and over‑height palletizing are strictly prohibited.

　　10. During demolition operations involving simultaneous work at upper and lower levels, a tightly constructed and robust protective barrier or guardrail must be installed between the two levels, and a dedicated construction plan along with specific safety technical measures must be developed. Demolition or dismantling work must be carried out on a stable and secure support system, with a designated warning zone and专人 (designated personnel) assigned to provide continuous supervision.

　　III. Prevention of Falls from Height Accidents

　　1. Prior to performing work at height, it is mandatory to conduct a safety inspection of the work site, provide on-site safety briefings, ensure that all personnel involved have received training on applicable safety procedures, obtain the required work-at-height permit, secure approval from the relevant responsible parties, and assign a dedicated supervisor to oversee the entire operation.

　　2. Personnel performing work at height must pass a occupational health examination and hold the appropriate certification before commencing such work. They must properly wear personal protective equipment, including safety helmets, safety harnesses, and non-slip footwear. The safety harness shall be a full-body type of appropriate length, and when in use, it must be attached to a high anchor point with the user positioned below, securely fastened to a reliable and stable support.

　　3. Platforms located more than 2 meters above the fall‑reference plane must be equipped with fixed safety guardrails; where installation is not feasible, mobile guardrails or lifeline systems shall be provided. Additionally, platforms, walkways, and ladder treads used for work at height must incorporate reliable anti‑slip measures.

　　4. Temporarily erected scaffolding must possess adequate strength, stiffness, and stability, and must be securely anchored both vertically and horizontally. It is strictly prohibited to pile large quantities of materials on the scaffolding. Personnel are forbidden from passing through or lingering beneath the work area. Tools and materials that are prone to slipping or rolling must be secured with measures to prevent falling or be firmly fixed in place. The dropping or tossing of materials, tools, waste, or other items from height is strictly prohibited.

　　5. Aerial work platforms must use dedicated personnel baskets for transporting workers; it is strictly prohibited to use cranes for lifting or forklifts and loaders to elevate personnel for high‑altitude operations.

　　6. In adverse weather conditions such as thunderstorms, strong winds, hail, freezing rain and snow, and extreme heat, all outdoor work at height is strictly prohibited.

　　7. Roof‑working operations must be equipped with secure and reliable lifelines, and workers must wear safety harnesses in compliance with all applicable standards at all times. During work, it is strictly prohibited to step on roof edges, asbestos tiles, skylights, or other lightweight roofing structures; where necessary, sturdy scaffolding planks must be laid to prevent falls.

　　8. When performing demolition work at height, workers must stand on a stable surface. When cutting and dismantling large components, the ends of the cut seams must be securely anchored in advance and supported from below to prevent collapse or falling during the cutting process.

　　9. When using a mobile hydraulic aerial lift platform, it must be placed on a level, stable surface. Before use, fully extend the adjustable supports and install base plates or timber blocks; movement is strictly prohibited during operation.

　　10. The feet of portable ladders must be equipped with anti-slip devices; the middle section of A-frame ladders must be secured with a tie rope; during use, the ladder feet must be firmly anchored, and the ladder must be supported by a person.
