Hard as the steep pass may be, we stride forward anew.

Since the onset of summer, Suizhou City in Hubei Province has been gripped by persistent record-high temperatures. Amid such extreme weather, production workshops at maintain efficient operations. Frontline workers stick to their posts with scientifically adjusted schedules to guarantee steady progress on production targets. To avoid intense midday heat, a staggered working system is adopted, with frontline staff starting work promptly at 6 a.m. every day. "I have to get up at 5 a.m. to get ready and arrive on time, making the most of the milder morning temperatures for work," said Wang, a workshop operator.

Though workshop premises warm up from running machinery by dawn, working conditions remain far more favorable than during the sweltering afternoons.

Air conditioners and industrial exhaust fans run nonstop throughout shifts, with designated staff conducting regular inspections to keep cooling and ventilation equipment in proper working order and optimize onsite working environments. In addition, team supervisors flexibly modulate workloads based on employees’ physical conditions to prevent heat-related discomfort.

As the sun climbs higher and temperatures surge around 11 a.m., workers wrap up core daily production assignments. Weary as they look, the team beams with confidence after hitting morning output quotas, laying a solid foundation for completing the full-day production plan.

In an interview, the workshop manager noted that the company formulated the high-temperature working schedule after repeated research and discussion. "Employees are the backbone of our production and operation. While safeguarding production schedules, we prioritize our staff’s occupational health. Only by building a safe and comfortable working environment can we realize sound synergy between productivity growth and corporate development." His remarks reflect the company’s earnest commitment to protecting employee rights and interests.
