I once read a story about a soldier who climbed a mountain after a long journey. Bad weather, steep mountain walls, unbearable loneliness, fatigue and hunger and cold can't stop him from moving forward. I don't know when a grain of sand fell into the soldier's shoe. The sand was very small, and he felt that there was no need to waste time for such a trivial sand, so he moved on. But then the sand grew bigger and bigger, and it hurt so much that the soldiers had to stop to clean it up.

Although the story is short, it has a profound meaning: sand is insignificant relative to the mountain peak, but in this specific occasion of climbing with sand shoes, the negative effect of sand is inadvertently expanded infinitely. A grand goal was interrupted by a small hidden danger, and the outcome was regrettable.

Hidden dangers are called disasters because of their concealment. As the old saying goes, disasters often add up, which is the reason. It is sad that disasters are caused by the lack of identification and prevention of hidden dangers. But if, like the soldier, he found a hidden danger, but he didn't eliminate it in time because he didn't understand it, and the hidden danger always accompanied him, then this innocent disaster would be even more hateful.

As the saying goes: "Wise people use experience to prevent accidents, fools use accidents to sum up experience." Therefore, it can be seen that after-the-fact remedy is far less active and effective than prior prevention, but on the issue of accident prevention, many people still have the idea of "mending after the sheep is dead". Sometimes it's because of the "foresight blank" of instantaneous events, but more often it's because of the lack of safety knowledge, weak safety awareness, or the luck of taking advantage of the plan, thinking that "I" always unconsciously misses the remedy of "mending after the sheep is dead".

Of course, to grasp the initiative of safety and avoid the passive situation of "mending after the sheep is dead" and being led by the nose by problems, it is necessary to constantly update the knowledge of safety work, understand the importance of safety work ideologically, start from small things, and enhance safety awareness and responsibility, especially the rules and regulations related to safety and the working procedures of production work.

I can't help but think of a classic case about "safety first, prevention first": Tilly, a 0/0-year-old British girl, was playing on the beach in Phuket, Thailand before the Indian Ocean tsunami that shocked the world on February 26th, 2004. Smith, who suddenly found many bubbles on the sea, felt that there might be a tsunami and immediately told the Thai staff about it. Just a few minutes after 100 tourists were evacuated to a safe area, huge waves suddenly hit the coast ... because of the little girl's early warning, this beach finally became one of the beaches in Phuket, Thailand with no casualties.

At that time, when I saw this news, the author was very excited and revered, because the "preparing for a rainy day" that we adults advocated most was actually confirmed by a little girl who was only 10 years old. Before the tsunami, the ordinary little girl did at least the following three things: first, she learned the symptoms before the tsunami and the possible harm caused by the tsunami; Secondly, she took into account the risk factors that she may encounter when traveling at sea, including hidden dangers such as tsunami; In addition, the most important point is that although she also plays at the seaside, she always pays attention to the changes of the sea surface, and found the signs of tsunami at the first time, which won time for transferring tourists and saved her life.

Accidents are never unpredictable and untraceable, such as natural and man-made disasters; Life is like this, so is production. As long as we continue to strengthen safety education, improve operational skills, do a good job in accident prediction and dangerous point analysis in advance, be clear-headed, follow the rules, prevent delays in the specific implementation process, strictly control the customs, and effectively eradicate potential safety hazards in time, we can nip in the bud. On the contrary, if we lack the knowledge of identifying security risks, or are bold and careless, we think that small security risks do not exist.

As the saying goes, once you fall, you will gain wisdom. However, I want to say that safety work "don't wait until you fall." Everyone should remember that it's too late to plan ahead-it's too late to say it!
