In early April, Yang Dongliang, the head of the State Administration of Work Safety, visited the Hongliulin coal mine under the Shaxu Coal Chemical Group to conduct an inspection and provide guidance on safety protocols. While reviewing the related photos from the report, I noticed that both the inspection team and the miners were all wearing safety helmets, each clearly labeled. Some helmets had names written on them, while others were numbered.
To me, even though a helmet is a small item, it holds great significance. I recall an incident in the past where a mining disaster occurred in a certain area. The company involved kept changing the number of people trapped underground, and during the accident, they couldn't even determine how many workers were actually below the surface. It was a basic question, yet they were completely confused. Later, I came across a method used in another place. They set up a notice board at the mine entrance with small cards neatly arranged and clearly labeled. Each worker would pick up their card when entering the mine and return it upon exiting. This allowed the board to show exactly who was down and how many people were currently underground. At the time, I thought this system was very effective—low-cost and easy to implement.
Today, looking at the photo of Yang’s inspection at the mine, I felt impressed by their approach. Instead of using small cards, they simply marked each miner's helmet with their name or number. Even the officials from the State Administration didn’t escape this practice. Every person wore their own helmet, making the process more efficient and direct. Standing in the locker room, you could instantly see the status of everyone working underground—clear, simple, and highly practical.
Some things aren’t as complicated as they seem. All it takes is a bit of creativity to make things easier and more effective. The labeled helmets are far more efficient than just keeping a manual record. I remember a viral story online about a U.S. soap company that spent over one million dollars to solve the problem of empty boxes on the production line. They brought in experts, designers, and even used computers, sensors, and robots. It took half a year to develop an automated system. Meanwhile, a small Chinese factory faced the same issue and solved it in just two days. The owner simply bought an old fan from a second-hand market and installed it on the line. Any empty box would be blown off the conveyor belt, solving the problem cheaply and efficiently.
I really want to say something: Don’t waste time trying to figure out how to pass inspections. Instead, learn from others and improve your safety management. Sometimes, the simplest solutions come from the most unexpected places. In the end, it’s not about how much money you spend, but how smart you are.
