Guided by the principle of 'Prioritizing Prevention, Enforcing Control, and Upholding Strict Compliance', Country Garden conducts safety assurance operations in strict adherence to the directive of 'Safety First, People-Centric'. We are committed to achieving comprehensive safety governance involving every employee.

We uphold the principle of “treating any hidden dangers as accidents.” We established strict shutdown thresholds for various risk factors related to high fall accidents, enforcing monitoring standards with the utmost rigour. For high-risk areas prone to falls, the discovery of any edge protection that does not comply with safety specifications will immediately trigger the shutdown and accountability procedures, ensuring that site safety measures are both stringent and timely.

For accidents related to major safety hazards, we will implement on-site accountability for the project, supervision, and general contractor management personnel according to the “Accountability List” and “Job Safety Responsibility Assessment Form”, ensuring that responsibilities are assigned to specific individuals. We have formulated the “Accountability List of Project Safety Managers” and the “Accountability List of Supervision Directors” to facilitate on-site accountability for issues identified during unannounced safety inspections. By imposing corresponding penalties on responsible parties, we strengthen safety awareness across all levels and ensure the effective implementation of safety management protocols.

Country Garden maintains a bottom-line mindset in safety management, firmly establishing the preventive principle of “treating any hidden dangers as accidents.” We attach great importance on safety leadership and the cultivation of a robust safety culture. Through the active promotion of our “Guardian Culture” and “100-Day Safety Strict Execution Action,” we have fostered a comprehensive construction atmosphere centred on safety awareness and rigorous implementation.

In practice, management at all levels engages directly with the front line. By leading inspections as safety officers, hosting safety education assemblies, and participating in worker symposiums and morning safety meetings, safety management mindset is enhanced through concrete actions. 

Country Garden focuses on project site management by deeply refining the criteria for identifying violations and formulating corresponding immediate corrective measures. During project inspections, if concentrated or frequent violations are identified, the project team is required to establish a “true ledger of illegal operations,” and urge all remedial actions to be completed within the same day.

We further strengthened bottom-line safety management regarding the prevention of falls from height. We explicitly mandate that if even a single edge protection is found to be inadequate, work must be suspended and accountability measures should be enforced, reflecting our management philosophy of “treating hidden dangers as accidents.” Once a work-stoppage order is issued at the Group level, the responsible unit must join the “Group Safety Warning Group” to conduct a comprehensive self-evaluation and apply lessons learned across all operations. If the order is issued at the Regional level, the responsible unit joins the “Regional Safety Warning Group” and undergoes a formal review.

Country Garden has also further clarified the definitions of violations and the standardized procedures for strict rectification. During inspections, if a high volume of violations is detected within a single month, projects are required to maintain the “true ledge of illegal operations,” ensuring that all follow-up actions are handled “before the day is over.” Strictly monitored violations include improper wearing of safety helmets, hook safety belts during edge or high-altitude work, unauthorised climbing of gondolas or suspended platforms, operation of equipment by non-designated drivers, and unauthorised removal of protective facilities without restoration. Upon detecting a violation, the project management team will promptly arrange for the workers to participate in accident case warning education activities, conduct a video call with family members, and sign a safety guarantee, so as to deepen workers’ understanding of the severe consequences of unsafe operations, promote safety awareness in the heart of every worker, and ensure that the construction site safety protocols are strictly followed.
