Don’t let labor protection articles be unsafe

some people once described occupational disease as a soft knife that can kill people without blood. Due to the wide distribution of occupational hazards in China, involving a large number of people, the degree of harm is heavy, and it is difficult to control, occupational diseases have become the number one enemy of workers’ safety in production< Some data show that pneumoconiosis and poisoning are the main occupational hazards in China, among which pneumoconiosis accounts for 71% of all occupational diseases and poisoning accounts for 20%. The sum of pneumoconiosis and poisoning accounts for more than 90% of all occupational diseases. 1n the process of prevention and treatment of these two kinds of occupational diseases, on the one hand, in addition to the continuous increase of hardware investment, elimination of backward technology and equipment, increasing the environmental management of the operation site, so as to gradually liberate the workers from the dust and drug-related operation environment, and regular physical examination for the workers, on the other hand, different forms, styles, sizes, and methods should be used The purpose of labor protection articles in the operation to provide personal safety and health protection for the team staff recently, the author conducted a survey on the use of labor protection articles in an enterprise and found that with the continuous upgrading of labor protection articles, many enterprises are equipped with labor protection articles that can be used for many times for a long time. On the premise of knowing which occupational hazards exist in their positions, the team members in the enterprise can also actively wear labor protection articles for operation. But in the process of placing and keeping the labor protection articles, there are many kinds of labor protection articles, such as gloves, safety helmets, protective clothing, masks and so on. The author thinks that this idea of putting more emphasis on wearing than care is extremely easy to cause the secondary pollution of labor protection articles, so that the labor protection articles can no longer protect the safety of workers you may be deeply impressed by the lesson that a large number of medical staff were infected by SARS virus, and many medical staff even paid for their lives, because some medical staff did not use, place and keep the labor protection articles properly during the SARS epidemic in 2003. Although there may be no fatal bacteria in the working site of our team members, the fine mineral dust, heavy metal particles, toxic and harmful chemicals in some positions are still suspended in the air in large quantities. They are either adsorbed on the gloves and work clothes, or adhered to the mask and skin surface. 1f the team members do not pay attention to the mask, heavy metal particles and toxic and harmful chemicals, they will not be able to get rid of them The placement and storage of respirators and other labor protection articles will inevitably lead to the pollution of these substances, which will bring great harm to the physical and mental health of workers in the long run the author believes that the team members must strengthen the study of occupational safety and health related knowledge, improve their awareness of self prevention, and realize that the secondary pollution of labor protection articles will cause major occupational hazards to themselves. When working, our team members should always tighten the safety string, do not smoke and eat at the operation site, and do a good job in positioning and placing different labor protection articles at rest, and often carry out maintenance and cleaning, so as to keep the labor protection articles clean and tidy; When workers work in lead, arsenic, manganese and other toxic and harmful environment, they should wash their hands and face frequently with soap, shower and change clothes after work, do not wear work clothes into canteens, dormitories and other places, and do not bring work clothes home for cleaning, so as to avoid further harm to family and friends caused by toxic and harmful substances occupational hazards are more serious than tigers, and labor protection equipment is the “hunting gun” to subdue tigers. Only when the labor protection appliances are safe, can we really ensure our health and realize the happiness and happiness brought by safety Li Junhong
