At the beginning of the New Year, open new hopes and carry new dreams. In 2023, in the face of opportunities and challenges, how should steel enterprises do?
Recently, some iron and steel enterprises held a meeting, this year’s key work deployment. The details are as follows –
China Baowu
On January 3, China Baowu held the annual work conference on production safety, energy and environmental protection, and made arrangements for this year’s key work. Chen Derong, Secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of China Baowu, pointed out at the meeting that it is of great significance to hold the first general assembly of the New Year of Baowu on the first working day of 2023, which reflects the great importance and firm determination of the group company to promote the work of safety production and energy and environmental protection, hoping to further enhance the awareness, implement the responsibility, deepen the management reform, and promote scientific and technological innovation. We will do a good job in work safety, energy and environmental protection this year. Hu Wangming, general manager and deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of China Baowu attended the meeting and made a speech, and signed the 2023 year safety fire protection, energy and environmental protection responsibility letter with the subsidiary and headquarters functional departments.
It is necessary to deepen the construction of “one headquarters and multiple bases” security management mode, and strengthen the matrix cross-responsibility of localized horizontal management and professional vertical management. In recent years, with the advancement of professional integration, Baowu subsidiaries have formed a management and control mode of one headquarters and multiple bases. It is necessary to further strengthen the responsibility of production safety in the territory, strengthen the construction of a community of common destiny between steel base and multi-industry production and operation layer, so as to solve the new problems caused by management reform and docking.
We need to promote collaborative change. The problem of cooperative management is not the problem of cooperative employees, but the problem of managers’ understanding. Because the understanding is not in place, there are management problems, and become management disease. Employees in a plant in the face of the same operation object, should implement uniform standards. This will raise the corresponding labor costs, but in the new stage of development, more workers should also share in the fruits of development. In the early stage, the company issued the “Guidance on
Optimizing the construction of industrial workers in Iron and Steel Production Base in the new development stage” and unified the statistical standards. Each base should further pay attention to various types of employment, pay attention to specific business, continue to optimize the construction of industrial workers, under the same caliber of clear order, know the gap, have goals.
We will accelerate scientific and technological innovation. Traditional enterprises to solve the problem of safety and environmental protection is the most fundamental rely on scientific and technological innovation. An accident consists of two parts: “event” and “story”. An accident is not called an accident if no one is involved. We should do everything we can to keep people away from 3D jobs. This year, 10,000 Bora will be promoted. In the future, our field workers should be more technical workers, operation, inspection and maintenance integration, remote equipment operation and maintenance. If we don’t make big strides in this area, there is no hope for our industry.
To strengthen the basic management of the site.
On energy and environmental protection, Chen Derong focused on six issues:
On the question of “ultra-low emissions”. To further improve the ideological understanding of the work of “ultra-low emission”, environmental protection is related to the life of the legal person, it is related to the survival of the enterprise.
On prevention of environmental risks and rectification of environmental problems. Last year, the Group company carried out a comprehensive environmental protection inspection of its subsidiaries and achieved very good results. This year and next year, we will continue to make consistent efforts to ensure that environmental protection risks are kept to a minimum by promoting rectification through inspections.
On the hierarchical management of environmental protection and the implementation of legal entity responsibility. The environment is the biggest public good. Baowu cannot withstand a major environmental responsibility accident, which will have a devastating impact on our brand image and value. We must cherish the brand image of enterprises as we cherish our own lives, and fulfill the main responsibility of environmental protection.
About the ultimate energy efficiency benchmark to reach the standard. The Group has released the Baowu Extreme Energy Efficiency Technology Recommendation Catalog (2022), which covers a total of 102 technologies in each process and public auxiliary system of steel production, which can be said to be the most effective implementation path of extreme energy efficiency at present. It is hoped that all subsidiaries will study and apply it as soon as possible, and at the same time discuss and study new environmental protection and energy saving technologies suitable for themselves based on the actual situation, so as to form a good atmosphere of chasing each other and innovating experience within the group.
