Ground heating technology will have a "certificate" to follow Editor: Ma Ming Author: Wang Yong Nest underfloor heating website 2012-03-01 Liu Hao, Secretary-General of the China Ground Heating Committee: Reporter: Secretary-General Liu, hello! The formal approval of the "ground heating construction worker" by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security represents another step forward in the specialization process for the underfloor heating industry, including electric underfloor heating. What are your thoughts on this? Liu Hao: The establishment of the new occupation of "ground heating construction worker" marks a significant step towards standardization in the underfloor heating industry. It is a turning point for the underfloor heating industry and has great significance for its development. The establishment of this new occupation can not only solve the problem of talent shortage in this industry but also play a positive role in improving the professional skills of workers and expanding employment opportunities. Reporter: Now that it is an official occupation, what do you think are the positive impacts on the future career path of our construction workers? Liu Hao: There are thousands of ground heating construction teams across the country. Due to the relatively low technical threshold for ground heating construction, electric underfloor heating has strong imitability, and quite a number of construction companies lack professional underfloor heating installation capabilities. The quality of personnel in the industry is relatively low, and their professional level is not high, which cannot guarantee the quality of underfloor heating projects, seriously affecting the healthy development of the ground heating industry. Through the establishment of the "ground heating construction worker" occupation, the professional level and construction ability of personnel in the underfloor heating industry will be greatly improved. I believe that after some more effort, the goal of working with certification in the underfloor heating industry will be achieved, thereby ensuring the healthy and sustainable development of the underfloor heating industry. Two aspects of work need to be strengthened: one is to strengthen the management of training materials quality and teaching staff to improve the effectiveness of training; the second is to issue relevant industry regulations to promote the full implementation of working with certification in this industry. Liu Jie, Director of the Training Department of the Ground Heating Committee: Reporter: From the initial application to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security until the final approval, what efforts did the association make? Liu Jie: Since 2006, the association has applied to the then Vocational Skills Appraisal Center of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security to include "ground heating construction worker" as a national occupational category. During this period, related leaders and experts from the social security department and relevant experts from the association conducted a six-month industry survey. Comprehensive evaluations were made on various aspects, such as the development direction of underfloor heating and the distribution and quantity of underfloor heating construction workers. It was decided that the national standard formulation work for the "ground heating construction worker" occupational category could be carried out. Subsequently, the association organized relevant personnel to write the content related to the national standards for construction workers, from the job content to related knowledge - the writing process took more than two years, electric underfloor heating, several revisions were made, and finally passed the review, officially promulgating the national occupational standard for ground heating construction workers in July 2009.
