Chinese railway operators have taken multiple measures to bolster safety during the 40-day Spring Festival travel rush, which started on Feb 2, with some 539 million passenger trips via trains expected nationwide. The Shuozhou Engineering Section in Shanxi province focused on operational and personal safety, organizing workshop teams to conduct self-inspection and eliminate hidden dangers. New employees participating in the safety awareness program during the travel rush received on-site mentoring through a “mentor-apprentice” program, while the dispatch and command center utilized remote monitoring to conduct spot checks.
