Abstract

Workplace safety is of paramount importance in industries such as coal mining, where accidents and occupational illnesses can result
in significant human and economic costs. This study aims to develop an action plan to improve safety standards at Duong Huy Coal
Company from 2021 to 2025. A comprehensive survey involving 93 safety managers and 379 workers from various production sites was
researched to gather insights and opinions on safety priorities. Focus group discussions and expert consultations were employed to assess
the current safety situation, identify challenges, and develop coherent safety solutions. Based on the survey results, the proposed action
plan focuses on the following objectives: reducing workplace accidents by 20-25% annually, progressing towards zero accidents in the
following years, and increasing productivity and benefits for both workers and the company. The plan also emphasizes the role of company
leadership in widely communicating their commitment to safety and the need for individual units within the company to proactively plan,
budget, and implement safety measures following their functions and responsibilities. Collaboration with relevant state agencies, mass
mobilization campaigns, and the application of science and technology in safety and occupational health will further contribute to the
enhancement of workplace safety at Duong Huy Coal Company.
