China's Work Safety Law, last amended in June 2021 and effective from September 2021, raised the compliance bar for production safety across industries. A review of its key points:

- Safety responsibilities are now explicitly assigned to 'all employees', with clearer accountability for principal responsible persons.
- Penalties for violations were significantly increased, and administrative penalties now accrue daily for continued non-compliance.
- Risk management: businesses must establish a dual prevention mechanism of risk grading, control and hidden-danger investigation.
- Emergency management and safety training requirements were strengthened.

For factories preparing for brand or third-party audits, production safety is a core module in customer codes of conduct. Our on-site audits systematically review machine guarding, electrical safety, fire protection, chemical management and emergency preparedness — and provide practical corrective action plans.
