Process Empowerment: Making the Lockout Tagout Culture a Well-Defined Process
The cultivation of culture cannot be achieved without the support of standardized processes. Our city takes the "Seven-step Standard Procedure" as the core and integrates the lockout tagout culture into the entire operation process, transforming the culture from "soft power" to "hard guarantee". 
In terms of process design, we strictly follow the closed loop of "energy identification - shutdown and power disconnection - physical isolation - lockout tagout - energy release - verification and confirmation - on-site supervision". Each step has clear operation norms and responsible entities. To enable workers to clearly understand the process, our city has produced visual flowcharts, templates, and posted them at prominent locations in the operation site; an online simulation operation platform has been developed, allowing workers to conduct virtual drills at any time and familiarize themselves with the key points of each operation step. At the same time, we uniformly provide "six-one" standard toolkits to maintenance personnel, including customized locks, voltage detectors, grounding wires, etc., to ensure the implementation of the process through hardware support. 
For special scenarios such as confined spaces, high-voltage electrical, and chemical pipelines, 12 special supplementary procedures have been formulated to ensure that the cultural construction is precisely adapted to actual operations. A coal mining enterprise, in line with the characteristics of underground operations, deeply integrated the "lock culture" with team management, implemented the mechanism of "lock number - responsibility to individuals - process traceability", ensuring that each lock has an "owner" and each step has "supervision", completely solving the problem of unclear responsibilities in the past. 
Mechanism Guarantee: Ensuring the Long-Term and Sustainable Implementation of Cultural Construction
To ensure the implementation and long-term operation of the lockout tagout culture, our city has established a "culture cultivation + supervision and assessment + responsibility traceability" full-chain guarantee mechanism. 
In terms of supervision and assessment, we adopt methods such as "four nots and two direct" inspections, cross-checks, and special supervision, going deep into the enterprise's production workshops to focus on verifying the execution of the lockout tagourt process, the standardization of lock usage, and the authenticity of the information. The effectiveness of cultural construction is included in the enterprise's safety production credit rating. For enterprises that actively practice the lockout tagout culture and achieve zero accidents during maintenance, they will be commended and rewarded, and their experiences will be promoted; for enterprises with lagging cultural construction and frequent violations, a rectification notice will be issued and a re-examination will be conducted within a deadline. Those who refuse to rectify will be punished strictly according to law. 
In terms of responsibility traceability, a "three-tier system" of "operation ticket + lock code + electronic filing" is implemented. Every maintenance operation must fill out an electronic operation ticket, the lock code is bound to the operator's information, and the entire operation process is recorded and filed through video surveillance or on-site supervision. This ensures that "whoever operates is responsible, whoever violates is held accountable". At the same time, we have opened up channels for public supervision, set up hotlines and online reporting platforms, and encourage workers and the public to supervise violations of operating procedures, forming a "full participation, full supervision" favorable situation. 
Data Witnessing Results: Since the lockout tagout culture was fully promoted, the number of equipment maintenance accidents in key enterprises in the city has decreased by 100%, achieving the goal of zero accidents during maintenance; the compliance rate of operations has increased from 65% before implementation to 98%, and more and more enterprises have built a solid safety production defense line through solid cultural construction. A steel enterprise that previously experienced mechanical injury accidents due to omitting the verification step has achieved 24 consecutive months without similar hazards after implementing the lockout tagout culture, through the infiltration of concepts, standardization of processes, and constraints of mechanisms. Establish an enterprise experience exchange platform, promote innovative practices such as "program visualization management" and "intelligent lock traceability", and enable the "lockout tagout" culture to take root in more industries, thereby laying a solid cultural foundation for high-quality development in terms of safety production.
