What are the manifestations of habitual violations?

The following are the manifestations of habitual violations: 1. Simplification of work procedures: Believing that certain work steps are unnecessary and a waste of manpower. For the sake of convenience, saving effort and labor, employees often do this consciously or unconsciously. For example, they should check the lines and equipment conditions before daily operations, but the workers skip or omit this step to save a few steps. On the surface, the equipment seems normal, and the workload is reduced, seemingly improving efficiency, but in reality, risks exist everywhere, directly or indirectly affecting the safety of the next day's operations. 2. Violation of work standards: Lack of supervision leads to arbitrary actions. Often during night operations, station personnel, feeling the work is tedious and boring in the absence of supervision, no longer follow the procedures strictly, taking chances to violate work standards, thinking no one will notice or hold them accountable. For example, construction workers should report to the station at the end wall before entering the line to confirm if the entry is correct, but the construction workers fail to report, and the station personnel, aware of this, still ignore it, believing it is the responsibility of the construction workers, unrelated to themselves, leading to construction workers entering the wrong line or a line with active trains, causing accidents or conflicts between people and trains. 3. Violation of rules and regulations: Turning a deaf ear to rules and regulations. Heavy rebelliousness, not learning from past lessons, not accepting education, deliberately violating rules and regulations. For example, station personnel long-term use construction workers' account passwords to help them check in and out, clearly violating the rules, and even after being discovered and criticized by superiors, they still do not correct their behavior, ultimately leading to a serious violation event where they checked out without meeting the conditions. 4. Work process becomes a mere formality: Work should be carried out according to standards, but it becomes a mere formality, going through the motions without real attention. Station personnel can perform their duties according to standards, but their minds are not on the job, making it a mere formality. When emergencies occur, it's already too late to react, as the saying goes, 'Violating work procedures is no different from killing,' often leading to tragedies. For example, in the domestic industry, there have been multiple accidents where passengers were caught in the gap between trains and platform screen doors, resulting in casualties. Similar incidents have occurred in the Guangzhou Metro, partly due to station personnel not discovering and stopping the situation in time, as the platform work was just a formality. This is especially evident among new employees, who are required to follow the 'five-step procedure' for train reception and dispatch, but they don't know why these 'five steps' are necessary, knowing the how but not the why. Therefore, after the train doors close, they only symbolically look around, not truly observing the door/platform screen door closing situation, and when accidents occur, they cannot react in time to stop them, leading to passenger casualties.
During my own driving experience, I've noticed several common forms of habitual violations: speeding on familiar routes, always thinking it's fine to drive fast; habitually checking phone messages while driving, as daily screen time makes it a subconscious action; ignoring traffic signals like running red lights or changing lanes without turn signals, especially when in a hurry and operating automatically; skipping seatbelt use in the car due to perceived inconvenience; and developing a complacent mentality after drunk driving, thinking a little alcohol won't matter. These habits stem from fast-paced daily life, easily leading to distracted driving and increased accidents. I recommend reminding yourself to focus before each drive or using navigation reminder features to gradually correct these behaviors.
Chatting with friends, I realized many people have habitual traffic violations, such as eating or adjusting the stereo while driving, being distracted without realizing it; speeding through residential exits without observing pedestrians due to overfamiliarity; occasionally checking work messages at red lights, forming a bad cycle; or forgetting the risks of not wearing a seatbelt on short trips. These behaviors may seem minor, but they add up to big issues. From personal experience, I've learned the need to regularly review driving habits, like setting the phone to Do Not Disturb mode or finding a companion to supervise and adjust behaviors.
