A total of 7835 households (18753 residents) live in 354 brick-wood houses. Built in 1950s, these houses were constructed in reference to low standards. The doors, windows, floors, stairs and ceilings of the houses are all made from wood. Due to the weak safety awareness of the residents, unpermitted wiring in shared kitchen and bathroom and stacking in the corridor are two prominent problems. From 2012 to 2016 period, 28 fire accidents had happened leading to two deaths.
▲ Fire risks of non-motor vehicle shed. There are a total of 41 crude non-motor vehicle sheds in the 18 old residential areas. Built long ago, roof of some of these sheds leaks and water seeps from the wall. As more people use ebike, some ebike owners charge their ebike by wiring without permission. Some shed overseers install rcd-free sockets without permission to offer paid charging services for ebike owners. Some ebike owners fail to replace the aging electrical equipment contained in their ebike, which may cause short circuit and self-ignition. All these risks may lead to a fire.
A.4.2 Risks in Road Traffic
▲ Risks in road traffic at Siping Road and Zhangwu Road juncture.
Situated at the main street of Yangpu district which features “three-horizontal and three-vertical”, Siping Road and Zhangwu Road juncture is the place where road accidents happen most in the community. Reasons for road accident include: 1) The number of motor vehicles has increased at a rate of about 8% annually leading to congestion on the road; 2) Tongji University, the nationally renowned university, is located at Siping Road and Zhangwu Road juncture. With more than 30,000 teachers and students going in and out of the campus, traffic congestion occurs during peak hours; 3) Due to the weak road safety awareness of people on the go, various problems are found at the juncture such as unpermitted parking/road-using/lane changing of motor vehicle, riding in reverse direction/carrying people on back seat/running red lights by non-motor vehicles, and jaywalking and failure to use zebra crossing while walking across the street on the part of pedestrians. All these traffic offence may disrupt traffic and cause road accident. In 2013, a Korean student was killed while crossing the juncture by riding a motorcycle.
A.4.3 Risks at Workplace
▲ Risks in decoration of shops along the street. Among the 813 shops along the street with most of them being microbusiness, more than 100 shops need redecoration each year due to competition on the market and changes in business type. In order to reduce decoration cost, some show owners would just entrust the work to unqualified decoration contractor, a practice which may cause fire risks and electrical risks. In 2013, an unqualified decoration worker died from electric shock due to failure to follow instructions.
A.4.4 Risks Threatening Home Safety
▲ Risks posed by elevator in high-rise.
Among the 198 elevators used by high-rises in the community, there are 85 elevators which have already been in use for 15 years as of the end of 2016. Problems regarding these elevators are: 1) As some elevators were just pieced together in the first place, they are inherently defective and therefore are likely to break down; 2) Failure to conduct routine maintenance of these elevators in accordance with requirements contained in safety technical code and quality assurance system; 3) Unwitting damage done to elevator by users due to their lack of elevator usage related knowledge; 4) Complicated maintenance funds allocation procedures may hinder progress in elevator maintenance and replacement.
▲ Gas risks.
More than 33,000 households in the community use gas everyday. From 2005 to 2012 period, a total of 12 gas accidents happened causing 15 gas poisoning deaths.

D Rules 2 Creation of Sustainable and Long-term Injury Prevention Plan Capable of Covering People of Different Sex/Age and Various Environment and Conditions
2.1 Traffic Accident Caused Injury Prevention Plan
2.1.1 Siping Road/Zhangwu Road Juncture Traffic Safety Program
◆ Background of program
In recent years, Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture of Siping Road Sub-district has become a place prone to road accident. According to road traffic record provided by Yangpu No.2 traffic police detachment, roads within 1km of Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture which is situated at Yangpu “three-horizontal and three-vertical” main road is one of the places where road accidents happen a lot.
(Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture)

|2015 |8 |4 |2 |2 |
|2016 |5 |2 |2 |1 |
(Provided by Yangpu No.2 Traffic Police Detachment)
Reasons for large number of road accidents: 1) Number of motor vehicles has increased at an annual rate of over 8%, which tends to cause traffic congestion and pose threat to road safety; 2) Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture is home to nationally renowned Tongji University. With more than 30000 teachers and students coming in and out of the campus, traffic jam may occur at peak hours. In 2013, a South Korean student was killed while riding a motorcycle through Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture. 3) Improper installation of road facilities. The separation fences between motor vehicle lane and non-motor vehicle lane fail to reach the juncture and as a result, some motor vehicles may park, pick up or drop off passengers without permission which in turn may cause traffic congestion and road accidents. For example, due to the improper installation of traffic light at Siping Road/No.2 Zhongshan North Road, vehicles may face traffic jam when driving from south to north and then turning west on Sipingn Road. 4) Due to the weak traffic regulations awareness of some people, a lot of motor vehicles park, use road, change lane and press car horn against rules. Some non-motor vehicles may carry people on back seat and drive in reverse direction without permission. Pedestrians may fail to use zebra crossing or run red lights when walking across street.
◆ Objectives of program
Improve traffic flow and reduce road accidents at Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture by re-arranging road facilities, correcting road traffic offence, and organizing publicity of road safety laws and regulations.
◆ Preventive measures
Re-arranging road facilities
Extending separation fence between motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle lanes to the juncture. As separation fence between motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle at Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture failed to reach the juncture and some motor-vehicle often parked without permission, project team, with the help of No.2 traffic police detachment, discussed the issue with community road traffic department and extended the separation fence between motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle lanes for 300m to Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture.
Adjusting proportion of green traffic light at Siping Road/No.2 Zhongshan North Road. As green traffic light guiding south-to-north traffic flow at Siping Road is inadequate in number and vehicles turning west tend to face traffic congestion, No.2 traffic police detachment reported the situation to detachment road traffic department who readjusted the proportion after investigation so as to meet traffic needs. (3) Install plant separation fence. To reduce road traffic at Siping Road (No.2 Zhongshan North Road to Zhangwu Road) caused by jaywalking by non-motor vehicle and pedestrians, project team, after holding discussion with community greening management department, separated the south lane and north lane with plant separation fence, a move significantly reducing traffic accidents caused by jaywalking by non-motor vehicle and pedestrians.

Correcting road traffic offence
Correcting road traffic offence through joint efforts among different departments. From 2013 to 2015, No.2 traffic police detachment, urban management Siping squadron and community administration office launched comprehensive and rolling-type correction action. In total, over 14000 cases of unpermitted parking by motor vehicles, 8000 cases of traffic offence by non-motor vehicles, over 6000 cases of traffic offence by pedestrians, 470 cases of unpermitted land use by stalls, and 270 cases of operation of business occupying more than one shop were handled. A total of 87 motor vehicles were detained for traffic offence.
(traffic offence correction campaign) (detainment of vehicles involved in traffic offence)
(2) Launch traffic offence correction campaign. In March, 2016, on the basis of plan of Shanghai Municipal Government on traffic offence correction, community No.2 traffic police detachment designated Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture as key area for correction. Siping Road police station and community safety promotion office participated in the campaign and took the following steps in accordance with the goal of “zero-tolerance and complete coverage”: 1) Strengthening analysis at earlier stage; conducting analysis of the time and venue of traffic offence at Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture; conducting supervision over the area by sending more traffic police and meeting management needs. 2) Strengthening patrol and supervision regarding traffic offence. To address traffic offence at Siping Road/Zhangwu Road such as unperpemitted parking/changing lanes/pressing car horn/picking up passengers by motor vehicle and running red lights/riding in reverse direction/failing to use zebra crossing by non-motor vehicles, stricter action was taken. From March 2016 to December 2016, a total of 6759 cases of traffic offence at Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture were handled, among which there were 3465 cases of traffic offence by motor vehicles, 2160 cases of traffic offence by non-motor vehicles and 1134 cases of traffic offence by pedestrians. 3) Strengthening cooperation. No.2 traffic police detachment worked closely with Siping Road police station and urban management squadron with regard to communication, discussion and patrol. A total of 18 joint law enforcement campaigns were launched, over 100 stalls were removed for permitted land use and over 60 businesses were suspended for unpermitted operation across more than one shop. By taking these steps, a climate of “strict supervision” was created.
Publicity of traffic safety knowledge
“Four entry” traffic safety knowledge publicity activities were conducted. 1) Entry into community. Traffic safety knowledge publicity bulletin board (window) posted over 1000 traffic safety publicity posters. Traffic safety publicity stations were created in the elderly recreation room where videos on traffic safety knowledge were broadcast and traffic safety knowledge lectures were offered on a regular basis. 2) Entry into household. More than 20000 “Siping Road Sub-district Resident Safety Manual were issued. The “Traffic Safety” chapter in the manual contained information on traffic safety related regulations. 3) Entry into school. After a South Korean student of Tongji University was killed in a road accident, community traffic police department gave lectures on traffic safety regulations to foreign students with a view to improving foreign students’ awareness of road traffic rules.
(publicizing traffic safety knowledge at school)
Traffic police also went to high schools and primary schools to give lectures on traffic safety knowledge helping students identify “road signs” and increase traffic rules related knowledge. The schools also organized class activities with such themes as “finding hidden traffic dangers” and “acting as a little traffic police”. 4) Entry into enterprise. The project team made 12 pieces of traffic safety publicity boards and 28 publicity banners. The publicity activities were organized in crowed places and publicity tours also took place at large-scale enterprises.
◆ Program evaluation
Traffic at Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture and surrounding roads was improved greatly through efforts such as re-arranging road facilities, correction of traffic offence and publicity of traffic safety regulations. According to statistics provided by traffic police department, average motor vehicle parallel traffic flow increased by around 20% and road accidents decreased by 32.7%. No road accident caused deaths occurred from 2014 to 2016.
◆ Continuous improvement
Increasing efforts on juncture investigation. Motor vehicle, non-motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow investigation is conducted every quarter. On the basis of the investigation results, proportions of green, yellow and red traffic light is readjusted with a view to improving vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow.
Re-arranging road facilities. Re-arranging juncture road facilities (motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle; separation fence between non-motor vehicles and pedestrians, lane paint and lane markings etc.) according to vehicle/pedestrian traffic flow at juncture.
Strict supervision and punishment. Correcting traffic offence such as unpermitted parking/pressing car horn/changing lane by touching solid line by motor vehicle; unlicensed non-motor vehicle; unpermitted carrying passenger on back seat, riding in reverse direction by non-motor vehicle; running red light and jaywalking by pedestrians with a view to enhancing traffic safety for pedestrians at road juncture.
Organizing traffic safety publicity activity. Organizing “three-entry” publicity activities in school, community and business building; enhancing traffic safety awareness of people through means such as tour demonstration of traffic safety board, distribution of traffic safety manual, holding lectures on traffic safety regulations and broadcasting videos on typical traffic cases.
2.2 Fire Accident Caused Injury Prevention Plan
2.2.1 Fire Protection Program for Brick-wood Houses
◆ Background of program
In the five community committees in Siping Road Sub-district, there are 13 residential areas dominated by brick-wood houses. These 354 brick-wood houses are home to 7835 households and 18753 residents. From 2012 to 2016, there were 28 fire accidents causing 2 casualties.

Conclusion
According to the investigation, fall is a common cause for injury among the elderly affecting the old people’s health and ability in self care. As for venues, home is the place where injury happens most. As aging population problem is getting worse, more accidental fall caused deaths would occur. Therefore, provision of daily care for the elderly, especially those who live alone, and prevention of fall and other injury cases would be the priority of prevention work in years ahead.
◆ Objectives of project
Through improving safety of the living environment of the elderly, increasing safety awareness of the elderly, building up physical strength of the elderly, providing safety support, decreasing fall caused injury among the elderly by 10%.
◆ Preventive measures
Improving living environment
Installation of banisters: From 2013 to 2017, the community installed 7800m stair banisters for 39 residential areas under 15 community committees and chairs in corridors of buildings of 3 residential areas so that the elderly may take a rest when they feel feeble while going upstairs/downstairs.
Install steps handrail: Install stainless steel step handrails for old residential areas making it safer for the elderly when they go in/out of residential buildings.
Install bathroom handrail: Install stainless steel bathroom handrail for 1210 old people who live alone and thereby enhancing safety of their living environment.
Distribution of non-slip mat: The community provided non-slip mat for 4357 old people who live alone and who are over 80 years old.
Installation of gas alarm: Installing gas alarms for 1300 old people who live alone or who live on low income so as to prevent slowness caused fall among the elderly.
Road repair: As rough roads in some old residential areas may cause fall among the elderly, the project team, by working with community committee, property management committee and property management company, repaired the roads of more than 10 residential areas.
Improving safety awareness
Making more efforts on safety knowledge publicity; issuing 10000 copies of Safety Manual for Old People under Home-based Care to the elderly in the community educating the elderly about how to prevent fall and chronic diseases.
The elderly safety lectures were given including 50 lectures on fall prevention among the elderly, health care, prevention of chronic disease and food safety. More than 1000 old people have attended these lectures which helped them improving safety awareness regarding fall prevention.
Enhancing physical strengths of the elderly
Project team launched the elderly fitness program by working with community sports & fitness club. The club invited 256 volunteers to set up more than 30 teams engaging in such fields as Taijiquan, Mulanquan, qigong, fitness dance, square dance, folk dance, waist-drum, military drum, flat drum, physical easiness exercises and chorus. More than 2500 old people jointed the teams.
Provision of more safety
Small night lamp: The community made 10000 small night lamps printed with such words as “Safe, Harmonious and Beautiful Home” and distributed them to households in the community. All the old people received the lamps so that they may not fall when getting up during the night.
The elderly physical examination: The community provides chronic disease and health examination for more than 2000 old people who live on low income.
“Care-free old people” program: the community buys accidental injury insurance for 1500 old people who need care most.
Provision of rehabilitation services
Family doctors of health service stations of community health service center pay visit to the elderly who are recovering from fall injury at home and teach their family members how to help with recovery.
(installation of gas alarm) (the elderly safety lecture)
◆ Evaluation of program
Through such measures as enhancing safety awareness of the elderly, improving services facilities for the elderly, improving safety of living environment for the elderly, implementing service programs for the elderly, fall caused injury rate among the elderly dropped from 3.1% of 2010 to 2.01% of 2016, down 35.16%.
◆ Continuous improvement
Publicity of the elderly safety and health knowledge. Project team invites doctors from community health service center to give the elderly safety and health lectures on a regular basis with a view to increasing safety awareness and knowledge of the elderly.
Allowing more old people to enjoy home-based care. Extending safety protection measures such as installing stainless steel bathroom handrails for the old people who live alone to household where the old people stay for home-based care.
Improving living environment for the elderly. Community committee and property management company were asked to conduct detection and removal of hidden dangers of residential areas road, and make repairs if the road are rough or there are ground cracks. Pilings in the corridors of residential buildings were removed to ensure safety for the elderly when they go in/out of the building.
2.5 Children Injury Prevention Plan
2.5.1 Kindergarten Children Safety Promotion Program
◆ Background of program
Children are vulnerable to accidental injuries. As kindergarten is a place designed specifically for children, accidental injury not only affects children’s health but also brings economic losses to families and society and has negative impact on the society as a whole. Therefore, kindergarten children safety has always been one top concern of parents and the society.
There are 6 kindergartens and 1345 pre-school children in Siping Road community. According to community injury monitoring record, there were 5 pre-school children injury cases from 2010 to 2012.
Analysis of injury data:
Comparison between boys and girls
Data: Among the five injury cases, 3 boys were involved and 2 girls were involved.
Analysis: Boys are more active and curious than girls. More willing to
try something new, boys are more likely to be involved in injury case than girls.
Comparison between injury cases
Data: Children falling/stumbling accounts for the largest proportion of children injury cases followed by collision with/striking from objects.
Analysis: 3-6 years old children are capable to move in a wider area. Due to the fact that their imitation ability has improved gradually and that they like to chase each other for fun, they are more likely to fall or stumble since they are weak in self-protection and emergency response ability. Some parents carry their child on the back seat of their bicycles when going to/coming back from kindergarten and as a result, the child’s’ foot may be trapped into the tyre. Filled with curiosity about the outside world, children are vulnerable to injury as they have no knowledge about risks.
Comparison between injury venues
Data: Two injury cases happened at home accounting for 40%; 1 injury case happened on street/road; 1 injury case happened in residential area; 1 injury case happened in kindergarten.
Analysis: In order to prevent injury, children’s safety is one factor to be considered when designing and arranging articles used in kindergarten. As this is not a concern for articles in home and community, injury rate is therefore high at these two places.
◆ Objectives of program
Achieving zero injury in kindergarten and reducing injury rate at home and in residential areas through such efforts as improving safety of kindergarten, educating children/teachers/parents about safety and increasing awareness of children safety of children/teachers/parents.
◆ Preventive measures
Creation of injury active monitoring system
Project team created pre-school children active monitoring system which covers the following aspects: type of injury; causes of injury/location of injury; consequences; time; place; scale of injury; post-recovery; expenses. Injury monitoring is usually conducted in each class. Trained class supervisor is the one responsible for reporting collecting, registering and submitting information on injuries suffered by children of the class on/off campus. Results of the monitoring are used as basis for injury prevention and indicators for prevention evaluation.
(courses on emergency escape) (anti-slip strip and small feet signs on stairway)
Inviting children’s health experts to conduct safety evaluation for each kindergarten finding hidden dangers and making prevention efforts.
Playground of 6 kindergartens use plastic soft ground;
Steel activity-purpose equipment and angles are wrapped with sponge;
Setting up wood fences outside each disinfection room; keeping the latch high to prevent children from going into the room;
Encircling each AC external unit with fences;；
5) Install anti-clamping door stitch for each classroom, bathroom and Office;
Wrapping the protruding edge of chairs and tables in the classroom with round/smooth cover;
Stick signs of upstairs/downstairs small baby feet on each stairway;
Provide non-slip mat for bathroom of each classroom;
All the sockets shall be at least 1.6m above the ground.
3. Education based prevention: Making more efforts on education and increasing safety awareness of children/teachers/parents
As kindergarten is the key place for safety education, we’ll educate children/teachers/parents about safety from the following perspectives.
As most of children injury cases happen at home/in residential area, we regularly hold parents meeting to look at hidden dangers in home/residential area as well as solutions to existing problems. As shown by injury data, most children injury cases are caused by fall/collision/striking; therefore, some parents suggest using no-wax floor in order to prevent children from falling. Some parents suggest that children’s safety should be taken into consideration when arranging furniture and the protruding parts of furniture should be wrapped with cloth or soft plastics. We also suggested that parents may stick “Reminders” signs in their home so that they may know how to prevent and handle children injury. The overall goal is to allow children to receive safety education both at home and in kindergarten.
Offering safety training to kindergarten teachers. 1) Organizing simulated teaching activities with regard to children safety education; holding children safety education meetings; 2) Integrating safety education into children’s daily life and activities so as to help children increase self-protection awareness. For example, organizing “Health and Safety”, “Fire Protection” and other activities; organizing children to watch safety publicity film and thereby teaching them about rules on safe behavior; organizing safety drills in kindergarten; educating children about safety regarding drinking, eating and fire protection. All these efforts may help children develop ability in predicting/removing dangers and self-protection in a happy and relaxed atmosphere. Through these efforts, children may also develop good habits in terms of adoption of safe behavior. (3) Inviting those from hospital, traffic police detachment and fire fighting detachment to offer on-site instructions and demonstration. As children tend to hold those wearing police uniform, military uniform and hospital uniform in high regard, the on-site instructions and demonstration can help children better understand the professional instructions and thereby enhancing ability in keeping away from dangers and self-protection.
Intervention with force: To avoid accident and minimize impact of injury, immediate action should be taken once accident happens. All the kindergartens have developed emergency plans targeted at different types of accident including Emergency Plan for Fire Accident, Emergency Plan for Spread of Infectious Diseases, Emergency Plan for Accidental Injury Among Children, Emergency Plan for Food Poisoning and Emergency Plan for Group Activity Caused Accidents. Rules such as “Entry & Exit Rules”, “Examination Rules for Morning When Children Go into Kindergarten” and “Rules on Fire Safety Inspection”. All these plans and rules help ensure safety of kindergarten children.
(escape drills)
◆ Evaluation of program
Through implementation of safety prevention measures in kindergarten, the safety awareness of both teachers and children have been improved and most children can recognize which place is dangerous. From 2013 to 2016, no accident happened among pre-school children in 6 kindergartens.
◆ Continuous improvement
Further improving kindergarten safety monitoring system; increasing understanding of the causes of children injury; removing hidden dangers in a timely manner.
With Dahushan Kindergarten and Benxi Road Kindergarten as the demonstration units, improving safety in other kindergartens and reducing hidden dangers.
Making more efforts on safety education with a focus on enhancing safety awareness of teachers and parents and thereby helping them develop ability in protecting the children.
2.6 Workplace Injury Prevention Plan
2.6.1 Safety Promotion Program for Decoration of Shops Along the Street
◆ Background of program
There are 813 shops along the street in Siping Road community which engage in the following fields: retailing (355 shops); catering (167 shops); service provider (242 shops); plastic steel processing (29 shops); hotels (6 shops); entertainment (6 shops); express delivery (3 shops); small hospitals (2 shops); dentistry (2 shops); others (1 shop). All these shops are small businesses with some are micro-businesses or self-employed ventures. Over 95% of them engage commerce, retailing, trade, catering or service provision business. Each year, more than 100 shops need redecoration due to competition on the market and changes in business type. In order to reduce decoration cost, some show owners would just entrust the work to unqualified decoration contractors, most of whom are migrant workers from countryside. Due to lack of safety knowledge training, these migrant workers usually behave rashly during decoration process, a fact most likely to bring dangers. In 2013, the owner of a shop on Fuxin Road entrusted the decoration work to a father and a son, migrant workers who were unqualified contractors. During the process, the son died from electric shock due to failure to follow instructions. According to the on-site evaluation of work safety supervision department, the causes of the accident are:
(inspectors finding unpermitted decoration)
1. Operation against regulations: the father and the son didn’t have electrician certificate; they didn’t wear labor protection articles when welding steel tripod of shop sign; they didn’t wear safety belt when working at high altitude;
2. Construction site wasn’t be kept in order: decoration and construction trash were piled up; wiring failed to follow rules;
3. Safety supervision loopholes. As decoration project is usually small scale and lasts from 5 to 15 days and decoration workers tend to move frequently, it’s sometimes difficult to carry out supervision work.
◆ Objectives of program
Finalizing supervision responsibilities through creation and improvement of small-scale project supervision network; offering safety training to those involved in the project so as to avoid casualties.
◆ Preventive measures
(inspection by leadership of the community)
Creating three-level supervision network so as to strengthen supervision agency. A three-level work safety supervision network is created featuring community work safety committee, community safety office/work safety supervision station and community committee. Community work safety committee supervises work safety of decoration project for shops along the street by giving instructions, conducting monitoring and conducting inspection. Community safety office coordinates supervision efforts and organizes supervision work. Director of safety office of community committee, members of safety office and volunteers work together to conduct regular inspection of decoration project for shops along the street in the community.
Creation of itemized safety accounts for shops along the street. Through years of efforts, the community has now created itemized safety accounts for 813 shops along the street. The data contained in the itemized account include: name/address of business; business license; business operation type; legal person or person(s) responsible for operation; telephone number; business scope; number of people involved; usable floor area; safety condition; inspection record etc.
Conducting regular inspection. As inspection is an important part of work safety supervision work and an indispensable step for hidden dangers detection, the community adopt the following measures: 1) Routine inspection by safety supervision station. Each of four members from safety supervision station is responsible for one section of the community and conducts inspection every day. Each member shall inspect at least 60 shops along the street each month. Inspection table shall be completed for each round of inspection. Other duties of those members are: finding out whether those engaging in decoration work for shops along the street are qualified for construction work; warn construction team and shop owners if those responsible for decoration work turn out to be unqualified workers, and keep record; 2) Routine inspection by community committee. Community committees shall conduct regular inspection of decoration project for shops along the street. When shops along the street engages in decoration work, community committee shall inform safety supervision station via QQ group or WeChat group. Safety supervision station shall then collect evidence on-site and handle the specific case according to rules.
Focusing on hidden dangers tracking and correction. When detecting hidden dangers, filling out inspection table with information on correction measures and time limit. Community safety supervision station keeps track of the hidden dangers until the hidden dangers are removed. Work on correction shall be kept in record. If no or inadequate efforts are made on correction, safety committee shall work with law enforcement agencies such as public security bureau, fire fighting detachment, safety supervision office and administration for industry & commerce to jointly rectifying the situation so that hidden danger will never lead to accident.
(punishment ticket for shops violating decoration regulations)
Making more efforts on safety publicity work. Some owners and employees of shops along the street are not well-educated, weak in safety awareness and sometime even refuse to cooperate with community safety supervision work. To address the problems, the community adopted the following measures: 1) Educating those people about work safety related laws and regulations via such means as meetings, lectures and pamphlets so as to improve their safety awareness; 2) Through safety knowledge publicity by community committee among community residents, improving safety awareness of residents and facilitating participation by the public and social supervision; 3) Creating an atmosphere where “Safety is the Top Priority” through “Work Safety Month” activity and publicity on work safety laws, regulations and knowledge.
◆ Evaluation of program
From January 2014 to December 2016, a total of 392 hidden dangers were found and correction rate reached 100%; no casualties from decoration projects for shops along the street in the community.
◆ Continuous improvement
Further improving detection mechanism. Finalizing supervision responsibilities of community committee to ensure problems are detected, solved and reported in a timely manner; finalizing responsibilities of community city comprehensive network based management center in terms of inspection and detection; informing community safety supervision station immediately when problems are detected;
Making continuous efforts on hidden dangers tracking and correction until the hidden dangers are removed;
Making continuous efforts on various forms of safety education activities.
2.7 Public Safety Orientated Injury Prevention Plan
2.7.1 Home Burglary Prevention Program
◆ Background of program
Among the criminal cases happening in Siping Road community, home burglary cases account for a large proportion. In 2012, there were a total of 1092 criminal cases in the community, among which there were: 129 home burglary cases accounting for 11.81%; 17 burglary cases accounting for 1.56%; 167 theft cases accounting for 15.29%; 185 vehicle (motorcycle; ebike; bicycle) theft cases accounting for 16.94%; 90 non-motor vehicle theft cases accounting for 8.24%; 170 fraud cases accounting for 15.56%; 146 other types of theft cases accounting for 13.37%; 188 other cases accounting for 17.31%. Although home burglary cases do not account for the largest proportion of all criminal cases, home burglary may bring direct losses to personal safety and property safety of the public; therefore, home burglary prevention shall be included in safety promotion program.
Analysis of home burglary cases:
Home burglary happens a lot in old residential areas. There are 10 community committees in the community. Built in 1950s or 1960s, the 27 residential areas have the following problems: 1) Rough house structure; most of houses are brick-wood houses; 2) Loopholes in camera monitoring system. A total of 22 residential areas under 8 community committees didn’t install surveillance cameras; surveillance cameras installed in 5 residential areas under 2 community committees can’t provide extensive coverage; 3) Existence of illegal constructions in the community making residential areas a target for home burglary. In 2012, there were 74 home burglary cases in 27 residential areas under 10 community committees accounting for 57.36% of the total.
Residential building sitting on the last row is the easy target for home burglary. As the building sits on the edge of residential area,fewer people may be around. Other factors such as dense trees, walls under windows, platforms, downpipes adjacent to windows and AC external unit frame can create convenience for home burglars to break into the room. In 2012, there were 33 cases happening in this type of residential buildings accounting for 25.58% of the total.
Home burglary happen a lot on 1st/2nd/3rd floors as it’s easier for criminals to break into the room. A total of 96 cases had happened on these three floors accounting for 74.42% of the total with 30 cases happening on the 1st floor(23.25%), 31 cases happening on the 2nd floor (24.03%) and 35 cases happening on the 3rd floor (27.13%).
Home burglary happens a lot at dusk or in the latter half of the night. At dusk, criminals usually choose dark houses as the target. A total of 81 home burglary cases have happened at dusk accounting for 62.79%. In the latter half of night, criminals usually choose houses without safety door lock or whose windows do not close tightly as the target. A total of 48 home burglary cases happened under such circumstances accounting for 37.21%.
Home burglary happens a lot in winter, especially from November to the following February. In 2012, there were 87 home burglary cases happening in winter accounting for 67.44%.
Climbing, prying and inserting are three common modus operandi used by criminals. Criminals climb into residential building by taking advantages of structure of building entrance or downpipes, or break into house by climbing through window or prying window fences or windows, or using inserting piece to open the door without safety lock.
◆ Objectives of program
Reducing number of home burglary cases by continuously enhancing prevention capability in terms of technology, materials and people, as well as residents’ anti-theft awareness.
◆ Preventive measures
Improving infrastructure for home burglary prevention
Installation of surveillance cameras which is an effective means for home burglary prevention. Measures taken during the past few years: 1) The government installed surveillance cameras for old residential areas. As for residential areas with large number of home burglary cases while inadequate maintenance funds, the district and the community have installed surveillance cameras for them. Over the past five years, 315 surveillance cameras were installed for 27 old residential areas including No.1 community of Anshan No.4 Village, No.3 community of Anshan No. 4 Village, Anshan No. 6 Village and Anshan No. 7 Village. Surveillance camera coverage reaches 100%. 2) Encouraging property management committee of residential area dominated by commercial housing and property management company to install surveillance cameras. Over the past five years, employees from community safety promotion office have talked on several occasions to property management companies of residential areas dominated by commercial housing. In the end, 15 such companies installed 262 surveillance cameras. Some residential areas such as Tongji Green Park and Heping Huayuan even installed infrared alarms on the wall. 3)Increasing communication with district housing management bureau. New criterion is used for inspection and acceptance of newly built commercial housing, i.e., whether walls of residential area are installed with infrared alarm, whether passages and corridors of residential buildings are installed with surveillance cameras, and whether interphones are installed inside residential buildings.
(installation of infrared surveillance camera) (installation of stainless steel anti-theft fences)
Improving anti-theft facilities. To combat modus operandi such as climbing, prying and inserting, the following measures are taken: Conducting safety improvement for 12 old residential areas including Anshan No. 4 (2) by installing 4395 sections barbed wire and iron fences for walls, downpipes and windows facing the outside; installing anti-theft window catches and anti-theft door bolt for 8610 households who live on 1st/2nd/3rd floor; the community allocates funds each year to conduct maintenance for 1581 burglary-resisting doors installed by the government.
Implementing closed-off management. As the 4 old residential areas such as Anshan No.4 Village were undergoing renovation, public safety project team asked contractor to integrate safety concern into the renovation project. Through the renovation project, all the residential buildings were installed with electric burglary-resisting doors, corridor windows were installed with window fences and the residential areas adopted closed-off management.
Improving green landscape in the community. As green landscape in old residential buildings is seldom improved, some trees grow near the window of the courtyard of the first floor allowing criminals to climb into the courtyard, and the thick shrub green belt sometime may serve as a hiding place for criminals, the community committee and community police ask property management company to trim the trees regularly and the tall arbor trees are transferred by green landscape department.
Improving public safety network. The community created public safety team with branch head serving as the team leader and police station, community safety office and community management office as the members. Community committee creates working group with secretary of community general Party branch serving as the head and community policeman serving as deputy head, and director of safety office of community committee, head of community property safety office, members of community safety management office and safety patrolling volunteers as the members. By releasing Weekly Public Security Report, police station analyzes and reports the venues/time/modus operandi of criminal cases and make work arrangement accordingly. Night patrolling is strengthened through joint efforts of patrolling police, community police and public safety guards worked together and sense of security of the public is therefore enhanced.
Publicity on home burglary prevention
In 2013, community safety office published 33000 brochures titled “Prevention from Case Analysis” and distributed them to each household. Through study of analysis of home burglary cases, residents may gain information on the following issues: what type of residential building may be the target for home burglary; areas where home burglary happen a lot; floors where home burglary happens a lot; time/modus operandi for home burglary; preventive measures.
(burglary prevention publicity)
As a lot of home burglary cases happen in winter, community safety office organized winter “three-prevention” publicity activity, i.e., “prevention of burglary; prevention of fire; prevention of telecommunication fraud”. Through measures such as displaying banners in community, night electric horn, blackboard newspaper and setting up booth for counselling, educating residents about the importance of home burglary prevention.
◆ Evaluation of program
Through implementation of preventive measures, number of home burglary cases in the community has continued to decrease steadily. In 2016, number of home burglary case report dropped 60.46% YoY and number of cases being cleared up going up 16.7%. See the following table:

According to the survey, 16.5% of students have medium mental health problems with 3% of whom have rather serious mental health problems. Those who suspended schooling and discontinued schooling because of mental health problems accounted for 39.7% and 64.4% of the total respectively. In recent years, the problem has been increasingly found among high school and primary school students. In October 2011, there were three cases in Shanghai where high school/primary school students committed suicide by jumping off a building.
There are more than 7800 students studying in the 9 high schools and primary schools (including 1 secondary vocational school) in Siping Road community. Since 2009, Siping Road Sub-district has been working with Psychological Counselling Center of Tongji University to apply the experience and research results obtained from psychological well-being education program implemented among Tongji University students to education of primary school and high school students in the community. Through cross-sector cooperation and resources sharing, the community set up Siping Road community teenagers psychological well-being promotion project team with Psychological Counselling Center of Tongji University as the core. The “Siping Community-Tongji University Teenagers Psychological Well-being Education Base” was also established. To ensure the effectiveness of preventive measures of teenagers psychological well-being promotion program, a scale questionnaire survey was conducted among over 3400 students in 8 high school/primary schools in October 2010.
Survey on psychological well-being of students in 8 high schools/primary schools in the community were conducted. A total of 3593 questionnaires were handed out with 3355 returned questionnaires were valid in response. Grade: 647 students from 4th grade (19.3%), 715 students from 5th grade (21.3%), 490 students from preparatory class for junior high (14.6%), 429 freshmen from junior high (12.8%), 544 sophomores from junior high (16.2%) and 530 juniors from junior high (15.8%).

Conclusion 1: 17.2% high school and primary school students have emotional disorder problems and behavioral problems. As for male students, 13.8% of them have developed internet addiction (2.9% junior high students; 13.9% senior high students). At the same time, male students tend to engage in hyperactive & impulsive behavior. As for female students who may demonstrate anxiety over social life and academic record, more attention should be paid to their mood and state of mind.
Conclusion 2: Student’s mental health deteriorates as they grow up. The mental health condition of a student is markedly different when he/she is a primary school student and when he/she is a junior high student. As a student grows, especially when he/she is ready to take senior high school entrance examination, his/her psychological well-being tends to be affected greatly. At this stage, more efforts should be made on psychological well-being education and services provision.
Conclusion 3: Migrant worker’s child who is not Shanghai registered permanent resident and non-only child tend to suffer from psychological problems when emergency happens. Therefore, strong family support is indispensable in this regard including family environment and family education improvement.

Home-type group renting. This type of group renting usually has steady source of renters but may pose safety threat in terms of gas and electricity safety. From 2008 to 2011, there were 3 gas poisoning incidents caused by aging showers. In winter, after a lot of people have taken a shower, exhaust gas may prove to be a problem.
2. Service-type dormitory: problems include disturbing others, hygiene and electricity safety.
Fire dangers: A 70 to 80 square meters room may be divided into 10 partitions with boards (fibreboard). Once fire breaks out, the fire would spread quickly preventing emergency escape. Sometimes, there are a dozen electricity meters installed under the main meter. When a lot of household appliances are used at the same time, electric overload may happen leading to frequent tripping. Some leasors may even change electric fuse of household appliance into copper wire, which may cause fire. Hygiene problems in the community. Due to the large number of “group renting” renters, there may be not enough bathrooms and some people just pee in the corridor of the building. As most renter have to work and don’t have time to cook, they often buy packaged food and just throw away the packages anywhere they want, causing hygiene problems. Public security problems: Young renters sometime quarrel with or even fight against each other. Sometime theft of valuable objects may happen.

From 2015 to June 2017, “group renting” rectification action was taken for 118 units of houses (37 house owners taking rectification action on their own) and ousted 1387 renters. Measures for rectification included: 1) Informing those concerned by paying a home visit. Rectification Notice was distributed or posted on the door of those who were not at home or who were unable to be reached. Evidence was also collected on site. From 2015 to June 2017, over 2000 rectification notices were distributed for “group renting” rectification purpose. 2) Talking to the leasor directly. Rectification team talked to leasor informing the leasor of the details of his/her violation of regulations on leasing, and urging the leasor to strengthen management of renters and carry out rectification action immediately. From 2015 to June 2017, the team had talked to 165 leasors. 3) Supervision over rectification by relevant leasors and renters. When leasors or renters failed to take rectification action within prescribed time limit and had caused safety concern for themselves and other residents, community property management committee empowered property management company to take action to correct the illegal practice such as cutting off power and water supply. 4) Removal and dismantling by force. For those leasors or renters who refused to take rectification action, rectification teams under community committee would report to “group renting rectification leadership team” which would work with administration enforcement department to conduct centralized removal and demolition action in accordance with regulations on illegal leasing. 5) Follow-up work. To avoid relapse, rectification teams under community committee would conduct regular examination and spot examination and prevent any possible relapse.

6.2 Application of Program Evaluation Results
◆ Five-year Plan for Safe Community Construction is Developed on the Basis of Evaluation Results.
Community safety promotion committee holds safe community construction evaluation meeting each year which focuses on safety objectives and plan evaluation, evaluation of safety promotion program preventive measures, analysis of reasons for failure to achieve safety objectives and problems connected with program implementation. On the basis of the findings, community community safety promotion office develops Five-year Plan (2013-2017) for Construction of Safe Community in Siping Road Sub-district which is then discussed and approved by community safety promotion committee.
◆ Development of continuous improvement plan on the basis of evaluation results
Development of fire safety plan. According to evaluation, there were 28 fire accidents from 2012 to 2016 in the community which involve brick-wood houses. The accidents caused two deaths. After development and implementation of brick-wood safety promotion program, number of fire accidents has dropped by 28.5%. On the basis of non-motor vehicle shed evaluation, non-motor vehicle shed safety promotion program was developed and implemented. During the past 5 years, there was no fire accident happening in non-motor vehicle shed.
2. Workplace safety promotion plan. According to the evaluation, shops along the street in the community entrusted decoration work to unqualified contractors, which left one dead and one injured. Therefore, decoration safety promotion program for shops along the street was developed and implemented. Thanks to implementation of preventive measures, there has been no casualties since 2013.

The government also paid the first year buzzer service fee for those old people. However, most buzzers were no longer used as some old people refused to pay the 10 yuan monthly service fee. As a result, the government’s preventive measures of offering free “Ankangtong” buzzer to the elderly who live alone were canceled.
Non-motor vehicle shed safety promotion program; adjustment of preventive measures for ebike battery charging room. In 2013, during the development and implementation of preventive measures for non-motor vehicle shed safety promotion program, preventive measures regarding ebike battery charging room came out. After evaluation, experts believed that collective ebike charging may present some dangers and coin operated charging equipment was used instead.

Appendix 2
Rectification conducted according to comments of international
experts for previous round of safety inspection
In June 2012, during inspection of Siping Road Sub-district regarding its international safe community status, international safe community experts offered four comments. Rectification was conducted afterwards according to the comments.
Comment 1: Inadequate efforts were made to utilize accident and injury data provided by residents injury monitoring network, especially during development and implementation process of safety promotion programs.
Rectification: In recent years, we’ve made great efforts in utilizing accident and injury data provided by resident injury monitoring network. In March 2013, a South Korean students was killed at Siping Road/Zhangwu Road juncture when riding a motorcycle in reverse direction. On the basis of the information provided by traffic police No.2 detachment on the accident, the community designed and launched “Siping Road/Zhangwu Road Juncture Traffic Safety Promotion Program”. In July 2013, a fire broke out due to aging wires used at No.25 of Anshan No.3 Village. Two old people were killed in the accident. On the basis of the information provided by fire fighting detachment on the accident, the community designed and launched “Fire Safety Promotion Program for Brick-wood Houses”. In September 2013, a shop on Fuxin Road entrusted decoration work to a father and a son, two migrant workers who did not have decoration qualifications. The son died from electric shock due to violation of welding rules. On the basis of the information provided by community work safety supervision station on the accident, “Decoration Safety Promotion Program for Shops Along the Street”was designed and launched.
Comment 2: Incomplete coverage of preventive measures. For example, gas safety promotion program (installation of gas alarm) only covered old people who lived alone and who were over 80 years old. Those households whose members are the elderly only or whose members are the disabled and those households who live on low income were not covered by the program.
Rectification: In 2017, a three-year action plan where the community would install gas alarms for the elderly living alone, households whose members are the elderly only or whose members are the disabled and those households who live on low income was launched. According to investigation, there are 1473 old people who live alone, 2890 households whose members are the elderly only and 2100 households whose members are the disabled (6463 households in total). During the first half of 2017, the community installed gas alarms for 1300 such households. During the second half of 2017 and in 2018/2019, the three-year plan of installation of gas alarms will continue to be implemented. Various plans such as the elderly injury prevention plan, children injury prevention plan, the disabled injury prevention plan and workplace injury prevention plan are all designed to cover people different in gender, age and living conditions.
Comment 3: Program contents and program coverage were not given the same attention. Some programs only focused on the contents rather than the coverage. For example, preventive measures proposed by kindergarten children safety promotion program were only implemented at two kindergartens.
Rectification: During the campaign of national safe community reevaluation in 2014, we introduced preventive measures adopted at Dahushan Road Kindergarten and Benxi Road Kindergarten to other kindergartens. We also took the issue of coverage into consideration when we implemented other safety promotion programs. Fore example, a total of 41 sheds were covered by “Old Residential Areas Non-motor Vehicle Sheds Safety Promotion Program”. During the first half of 2017, safety improvement plan was implemented for 21 sheds.
Comment 4: Inadequate application of program evaluation results. Program evaluation results were not used as reference for continuous improvement and preventive effects of program were not achieved.
Rectification: Since 2013, we hold safety promotion program evaluation meeting each year. Director of community safety promotion committee presides over the meeting. Members of safety promotion committee and members of expert team attend the meeting. Leader of project team reported on such issues as whether objective were achieved and whether preventive measures were effective. Members of safety promotion committee and members of expert team gave comments on-site as well as overall evaluation. During the past four years, 20 safety promotion programs have been evaluated. On the basis of the evaluation, community community safety promotion committee developed Five-year Plan for Siping Road Sub-district Safe Community Construction as well as annual suggestions for promotion of safe community construction initiative. On the basis of the evaluation results, project team developed continuous improvement plan.
