Young Staff Development
Heyuan Power Plant trains graduates every year to develop their
work skills. Over 80 fresh graduates were recruited since 2008. The
power plant has a high number of young employees: one half of
the total number of employees are under 30 years old.
To address the needs of this employee category, the SEC & Hopewell
Power (Heyuan) Co., Ltd. Committee of the Communist Youth League
of China was formed. The Committee serves as a platform for young
staff to organise various activities, such as sports, community services
and leadership training programmes. The purpose of the Committee
is to encourage participation in team building and social activities.
The participation rate of the activities organised by the Committee is
high. For instance, over 200 employees of the power plant participated
in a marathon it organised.
Employee Safety
Safety in the Supply Chain
Coal mining safety has long been a major concern in Mainland China,
where the average industrial fatality rate was 0.749 per million tons
of coal in 2010.
To ensure appropriate safety measures are in place down our supply
chain, we have chosen to work only with reputable suppliers with
low accident risk rates and good safety records.

Heyuan Power Plant is now adopting the National Occupational
Safety Association (NOSA) system for the integrated management
of safety, health and environment in a power plant. NOSA is a
global standard designed to manage the risk to which individuals,
facilities, equipment and business environments are exposed and
is implemented on the basis of programmes incorporated into the
daily activities of each worker. To cater to employees’ medical needs,
medical insurance is extended to power plant employees and also
their children.
