- The course content is related to occupational safety and includes general operation training, hazardous operation training, AED operation training, hazard identification training, emergency response drill weekend classes, respiratory protection training, hazard identification and risk assessment, hazard general education training, chemical protection, and personal protective equipment-related training.
- In 2024, the number of participants and training hours for EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) education and emergency response drills in the Greater China Region decreased compared to 2023, due to the major overhaul at the Linyuan Advanced Plant from May to August and the shutdown at the Chongqing Plant in the second half of the year due to acquisition strategies.
The occupational safety and health education and training categories and course highlights implemented by CSRC are as follows:
(Including hazard communication education and training and on-the-job health and safety education and training)
- General operational training (Category A and C safety and health business supervisors, first aid personnel)
- Hazardous operation training (hypoxia operation supervisors, forklift operators, aerial work vehicle operators, roof operation supervisor, etc.)
- Safety guidelines for major overhaul period construction
- AED operation training
- Hazard identification training

Starting from February 2024, the Linyuan Advanced Plant has been issuing a monthly “EHS Bulletin” along with a reading card and a link to a quiz activity form. Each month, one workplace safety-related topic is selected for promotion and a quiz activity. The bulletin and quiz invitations are distributed via email, workgroup chats, and bulletin boards, encouraging employees to participate. This approach aims to communicate key workplace safety points and, through quiz responses, assess employees’ awareness levels to adjust the direction of occupational health and safety promotion accordingly.
Apart from its own employees, CSRC also emphasizes safety management for contractors, transporters, and other partners. We aim to enhance overall occupational health and safety conditions in the industry. In 2024, a total of 9,170 non-employee participants from CSRC Group attended occupational health and safety education and training, totaling 26,638 hours. Courses included training on hazard-related protective measures, preoperation protective planning for high-risk operations (hot work/ high elevation/confined space/oxygen deficiency/maintenance excavation), and emergency situation reporting and advocacy.
During the 2024 major overhaul period at the Linyuan Advanced Plant, which falls in the summer season with high temperatures and elevated hazard risks, when the outdoor heat hazard reaches the highest level (Level 4), in addition to providing related safety training, shaded rest areas with sun protection and cooling facilities are set up at the work sites to enhance heat mitigation.
