As scorching heat swept through the country in July, frontline production teams adjusted working hours promptly to focus operations in cooler morning hours. Staff raced against time and labored through sweltering conditions at their respective posts. The intense heat put every production procedure to the test—and also tugged at the heartstrings of the trade union, the "caring family" for workers.

Summer Cooling Outreach by Zigong Federation of Trade Unions Delivers Warm Care to Enterprise Staff

Gou Fang, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Chairman of Zigong Federation of Labor Unions, visited the company’s frontline production facilities to launch the 2026 "Summer Cooling Care" campaign, bringing care from trade union organizations to every employee. Huang Youquan, Chairman of the company, accompanied the visit.

Vice Chairman Gou Fang engaged in cordial conversations with frontline workers, carefully enquiring about their workload and heatstroke prevention measures. She urged all staff to balance work and rest and take proper self-protection. She emphasized that trade unions at all levels should fully leverage their role as a bridge connecting the Party and workers, fully safeguard employees’ health and rights, and guarantee safe production amid high temperatures.

Chairman Huang Youquan stated that the company always puts employees’ safety and health front and center. It will continue to refine heatstroke prevention and cooling measures to build a better working environment.

Leaders of the company trade union and senior management of CWPC and CWIC accompanied the condolence visit.

Multi-Tier Collaboration Combats Heatwaves with Scientific Cooling Protocols

With heatwaves persisting, the company doubled down on employee care. Guided by the municipal federation of Labor unions, the company rolled out a special "Summer Cooling Care" initiative ahead of schedule. Coordinated efforts across all departments and worksites delivered relief to every heat-exposed post. Heatstroke prevention supplies including Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid and essential balm, as well as cooling refreshments such as JDB herbal tea, mung bean soup and ice pops, were readily available at every workshop, erecting a robust "health defense line" for frontline workers.

To cope with sustained extreme heat, the company scientifically adjusted work schedules for production and construction teams, staggering shifts to avoid peak heat hours and secure safe operations. Stringent heat prevention protocols and hazard inspections were enforced. All staff united to tide over the heat, maintaining steady production and on-time delivery with a strong sense of accountability. These initiatives not only shielded workers’ physical health but also let every employee feel the company’s heartfelt compassion. Heat relief supplies will be delivered in batches to staff stationed at off-site projects, ensuring every CWPC employee working far from home can experience the warmth of the corporate family.

Voices of Employees：

"This cooling relief comforts not just our bodies, but our hearts. Welders suffer the most in summer—once we put on our welding helmets and strike an arc, we’re soaked in sweat head to toe. But when leaders handed us cooling supplies, a surge of warmth welled up inside. The company treats us like family, so we treat every task as our own responsibility."

— Liu Yijie, Heavy Vessel Branch, CWIC

"As an overhead crane operator, I work high above the ground every day in sweltering cabins. Every time I step down for a bowl of mung bean soup, the instant coolness revives me completely. The company thinks of every detail, so we must deliver our best work—lift every load steadily, accurately and safely. That’s the best way to repay this kindness."

— Yin Dehui, Serpentine Tube Branch, CWIC

"When I first joined the workshop, I almost couldn’t bear the heat. But the company never treats us as outsiders—we get full access to all heat relief supplies, and leaders check in regularly to see how we’re coping. This place is worth sticking around for a long career."

— Liu Hongli, Water Wall Branch, CWIC

The heatwave lingers, yet care never fades. Condolences from the municipal labor union flow like fresh spring water, carrying warmth from the Party and the government. The company’s multi-tier cooling measures translate compassion into concrete action and unite our workforce with shared resolve. This care amid the summer heat embodies respect, empathy, and a promise to stand together through thick and thin. May all hardworking employees stay cool at heart and steadfast in duty as we weather this summer side by side—and overcome every challenge together ahead.
