Kinetic Development Group Limited
The Group’s on-site safety management is reflected in the various stages: Based on the Potential Safety Hazard Identification and Control Measures, the Group appoints managers and technical personnel to regularly analyze security risk control and identify and control potential safety hazards in order to enhance the standards for safe production. The Group strictly controls the production process and has established relevant mechanisms such as the Management Mechanism for Mine Operations to impose stringent requirements on all aspects of on-site operations. In addition, the Group has also strictly implemented the policy of “one ventilation and three preventions” to create good on-site operating conditions and provide basic guarantees for safe production. The Group has set up a safety monitoring system, a personnel location system and part-time first-aid teams to enhance safety protection and its emergency response capability.
Checklist of “one ventilation and three preventions”
| “One Ventilation” | One Ventilation: All ventilation facilities in the mines (adjustable wind doors, adjustable wind windows, windshield and permanent enclosures) are inspected once a week and various records and statements are improved to ensure the stability and reliability of the mine ventilation system. |
| “Three Preventions” | Gas prevention: For each shift, three dedicated gas inspectors are arranged to conduct patrol inspection throughout the mines. The gas inspectors must strictly implement the on-site handover system and the reporting system to prohibit gas accumulation. Problems discovered during the current shift should be reported and handled in time to ensure good gas control. Dust prevention: Dust monitoring is carried out at each dust monitoring site through sentinel surveillance and individual surveillance on a monthly basis in accordance with the layout plan of the dust monitoring site. The total dust concentration is measured twice a month, and the concentration of respiratory dust is measured once a month. The dust dispersion and the free silica dioxide content in the dust is measured once every six months. The roadways within the department’s jurisdiction are sprinkled for dust removal every month according to the roadway rinsing cycle plan. Fire prevention: Designated personnel will be arranged every week to conduct a inspection on the permanent closure of the mine and conduct manual sampling to perform beam tube analysis. Each mine will be inspected once a week at its respective fire detection points, and a forecast of the natural fire prediction of the mine will be carried out once a week in accordance with the regulations. Based on the test results and the analysis of the beam pipe, it is judged whether there is a sign of fire at its respective fire detection points, and effective measures will be taken. |
In 2023, the Group continued to strengthen the safety risk hierarchical control as well as hidden danger identification and resolution, organized 93 self-inspections and daily inspections in the mines and identified 990 hidden dangers, ensuring the safe and efficient development of the Group. The Group adopted a solution, which targets on five areas of implementation requirements “measures, responsibilities, funds, time limits and emergency plans”, to eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers. The resolution rate of hidden dangers is 100%. In addition, the Group further improved its management of part-time first-aid team. Combined with the regulations on mine rescue operations and the requirements for the standardized assessment documents on the quality of the mine rescue team, the Company has established a training mechanism of “monthly training” for part-time first-aid team, focusing on emergency knowledge such as bandage and the use of oxygen ventilators for injured persons, and strengthening the management of the equipment for rescue operations to ensure good condition of first-aid equipment and further enhance the work level of part-time first-aid team, as well as the emergency response management work. In the past three years, there were no major accident or work-related injuries and deaths in the Group. In 2023, a total of 39 lost days due to work injury were recorded.
