Hazard warnings

➤During this season, poisoning and suffocating accidents are more likely to happen. Shanghai’s recent long heatwave and heavy rainfall have increased the potential for the formation of toxic gases and accidents. We must pay special attention during repair and cleanup operations in confined spaces, such as tanks, pipes and basements.

➤We must prioritize safety measures for large entertainment machines. Given the ongoing peak travel season, tourism agencies and scenic spots should fulfill their safety responsibilities by providing safety education for tourists and visitors. Additionally, large entertainment machines must undergo rigorous safety checks, repairs and maintenance. If any malfunctions or abnormalities are detected, these machines must be removed from service until the issue is resolved.

➤We have observed a concerning rise in accidents involving the movement of objects within factories and warehouses. Numerous heavy items, including stones, ceramic tiles, glassware, steel pipes, steel rolls, and irregularly shaped components, pose significant risks of rolling, slipping, or falling. When handling or transporting these objects, workers must prioritize the securement of items, the stability of stacks and their own positioning to avoid being struck by falling objects.
