We care for the lives of our employees and pay great attention to employees' health. We have launched a series of policies and measures to promote the construction of the HSE system in order to ensure employees can fully devote themselves to their work with healthy bodies and minds.

We have established the concept of putting people first and attaching the utmost importance to employee health. We regard the prevention and treatment of occupational diseases as a long-term task, therefore we adhere to a policy that emphasizes prevention and combines prevention with treatment. We thoroughly implement the Code of Occupational Disease Prevention of PRC, strictly carry out regular health examinations and implement occupational disease examination system and have gradually implemented the convalescence system that attaches special importance to production workers. Based on the characteristics of various health hazards, severe environmental conditions, mobility and labor intensity in the operation sites, we have strengthened the monitoring of occupational health and occupational disease hazards to improve the working environment.

In 2007, we strengthened our controls over the sources of occupational hazards, replacing outdated processes and technologies, and increasing investment in the elimination of factors that cause occupational illness. We also sought to improve workplace conditions, providing employees with approved protective items to reduce the hazards caused by poisonous and harmful substances.

In particular, we provided guidelines to our affiliates covering industrial hygiene and employee health issues, especially food and water hygiene, heatstroke prevention, precautions against infection, and the treatment of injuries or illness. Emphasis was placed on improving basic utilities for production, living conditions and the health of employees, combining the basic occupational health service with health supervision and education. We also conducted medical examinations of field operators, checked and analyzed workplace hazards, and offered health guidance and psychological consultation to employees. Some affiliates even purchased mobile examination centers, which offer great convenience in terms of providing on-site health checks to frontline staff.
