In recent days, scorching heat has persisted, with a heatwave sweeping across the small grassland town. To fully leverage the trade union’s role as a caring “family,” the General Federation of Trade Unions of Zhengxiangbai Banner recently visited the graphitization plant to carry out a summer outreach campaign titled “Bringing Coolness and Ensuring Health.” The initiative delivered cooling supplies such as bottled water, beverages, and watermelon, along with safety reminders and heartfelt care, directly to workers on the production front lines.

When workers stand firm, the union shows its warmth. A delegation from the union’s care‑and‑support team visited the office building of the Graphitization Plant, engaging in cordial discussions with Zhang Peigong, the plant’s executive deputy general manager, and representatives of the on‑duty workforce. During the conversation, Hasitu, chairman of the Zhengxiangbai Banner Federation of Trade Unions, repeatedly emphasized the need to rigorously enforce the primary responsibility for workplace safety during the summer months, placing the health and safety of employees at the forefront of production and operations. First, scientifically optimize work schedules and rationally allocate shift personnel, striving to avoid high‑temperature periods around noon when carrying out intensive tasks; strictly implement a rotating‑shift and rest system to ensure adequate rest time for all workers. Second, comprehensively upgrade physical safeguards by promptly maintaining and repairing workshop ventilation and cooling equipment, routinely providing heat‑relief supplies such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and cooling balm at workstations, and establishing temporary cool‑down休息 areas. Third, strengthen safety education and awareness, regularly organizing training sessions on heat‑protection measures and emergency first aid for heatstroke, thereby enhancing employees’ self‑protection skills and their ability to respond effectively to emergencies, and building a robust summer‑time safety barrier through institutional measures, improved facilities, and ongoing educational initiatives.

The atmosphere at the慰问 event was warm and cordial, as union staff distributed heat‑prevention supplies to on‑duty administrative personnel and workshop workers. Cases of drinking water, beverages, and watermelons were neatly arranged, with staff handing them out one by one, and employees collecting them in an orderly manner. Employees who received the supplies wore beaming smiles, sharing their heartfelt gratitude. Many expressed that they would henceforth keep heat‑related safety guidelines firmly in mind, balance work with rest, and follow proper operating procedures, ensuring both their health and safety while diligently completing all production tasks.

This “Summer Coolness” outreach initiative not only provided frontline workers with essential supplies to beat the summer heat and alleviate the physical discomfort caused by high‑temperature work, but also strengthened the bond between the trade union and its members, allowing them to truly feel the warmth of the union organization and underscoring the union’s responsibility and commitment as a caring “family” for employees. Over the years, the branch plant’s trade union has remained focused on its core duties, addressing the urgent needs, difficulties, and concerns of workers and keeping their well‑being at the forefront. In addition to delivering cooling relief in the summer, it regularly organizes a range of people‑benefiting services—such as New Year warmth‑giving programs, legal education on workers’ rights, and assistance for employees facing hardship—continuously expanding its reach, diversifying its offerings, and enhancing service quality, thereby ensuring that union support is delivered directly to the doorstep of every worker.

Going forward, the Graphitization Plant will continue to prioritize safe production during the summer’s extreme heat and ensure effective measures to protect employees from heat‑related health risks. It will further refine its safeguards for high‑temperature operations, working tirelessly to build a robust safety barrier against heat stress for frontline workers. Meanwhile, all employees will translate the organization’s care into renewed motivation, approaching their duties with greater enthusiasm and a more pragmatic work ethic, fully committed to ensuring safe production, stable operations, and meeting the expectations of those who have shown their support—thus joining forces to write a new chapter in the company’s development.
