Constructing emergency hospitals and donating medical supplies

In response to the novel coronavirus outbreak, Zoomlion quickly set up a

special support team of dozens of engineers and operators, and more than 240

sets of machinery and equipment, including earthmoving equipment, mobile

cranes, concrete machinery, and aerial work platforms. From January 23,

Zoomlion participated in the construction of hospitals across China, including

Wuhan, Hunan, Shenzhen, Henan, Guangxi and Tianjin, and has donated medical

supplies to boost frontline efforts.

As of February 18, Zoomlion has purchased more than 3 million sets of medical

protective equipment. More than 2.6 million medical supplies have been donated.

Ensure health and safety for returning workers

Recovery from the coronavirus outbreak will be boosted by employees gradually

returning to the workplace from February 5. So far, more than 70% of employees

have returned and overall production capacity has been restored to 60%-80%.

Before employee's return to work, Zoomlion set up an infection prevention and

control team and a return-to-work plan to ensure the health and safety of

returnees. To combat the infection, specialised teams disinfect the office

site, production workshops and facilities, as well as roads, dormitories and

canteens in the industrial park twice a day. At the same time, employee's

temperature must be routinely checked to avoid a breakout. Protective materials

such as masks will be distributed to every employee and are to be worn at all

times. For those who cannot return to the workplace on time, proper

resettlement measures have been arranged to help them work from home.

Strict prevention and control measures provides a strong guarantee for orderly

operation and production.
