It is a big shock for Chinese people to know the bullet train collision happened in south China several days ago, and is great sorry to know so many innocent people were died and injured in this accident. Also it is very angry for many of us to face the dereliction of duty of the administrative department which is in charge of this field.
Then I happened to have an idea, which maybe is naïve but may avoid this kind of tragedy.
That is to arrange train staff to change work with equal position among different city in regular time.
For example, there is a bullet train line run between A city and B city. Then allocate the most staff, no need the whole, of A train station to work in B train station at the same position, and B station staff to work in A city accordingly, for, like 2 months; and then change again. If A city have more than one train lines with different cities, then change in turn.
In this way, there are several advantages:
1, these staffs need to take the bullet train themselves time to time, so their own safeties have very closed relation with the train itself. So they would have to concern about how to make sure no problem of the train and the manage way.
2, the changing work of staffs from different city stations, could help to find some potential harm of the previous work way which the local staff may not notice in time. And this again can help to improve the average work level of the station.
3, changing work surrounding time to time could help the staffs to have more passion toward work. Familiar not only bring adeptness and skill, but also the laziness and tedious feeling, even irritability facing to the hard noisy station work. So regularly changing the surrounding would be good for the staffs.
And if someone acclaims that, this kind of change is not good for the staffs to get union with their family. While you know, they just work in different city, after finished their 8 hours work, they can easily get back to their original city easily.
For they can take the bullet train for free! And everyone knows that, the bullet train is very fast, and convenient!
If adds the basic principle, safe, then is perfect. Right?
