"Safeguarding the Revolutionary Legacy: The 'Ten Minutes Before the Shift' Initiative"

Yueqing Huadong Instrument and Meter Factory has been conducting its "Safeguarding the Red Legacy: Ten Minutes Before the Shift" initiative with great success. On the 10th of every month, various departments and workshops consistently hold these "pre-shift" sessions to study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s congratulatory letter to the inaugural National Conference on the Innovation and Exchange of Great Nation Craftsmen. These activities vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsmanship, ensuring the working class plays a leading role. Department and workshop supervisors personally organize these pre-shift briefings; beyond outlining work tasks and conducting safety education, they invite experienced managers and veteran workers to share their best practices and lessons learned. Supervisors also relay key points from weekly meetings to their teams—for instance, Chen Leming, supervisor of the fitter workshop, emphasized: "General Manager Wu specifically highlighted the importance of workplace safety and occupational health. He stressed that when operating machinery—particularly in environments with noise and dust—workers must strictly adhere to protective measures, as the personal safety and health of every colleague is of paramount importance." Supervisors across other workshops also tailor their presentation materials to the specific needs of different job roles, using accessible language and storytelling to ensure that employees can easily understand, absorb, and apply the information.
