How to do hand protection for food production personnel

Hand is an important part of our human body, which has many functions. 1t can play an important role in life, production, communication, self-defense and so on. 1n the process of food production, the role of our hands can not be ignored. Although the application of automatic control technology and automatic processing equipment in the field of food production is more and more extensive, such as food filling, packaging, sealing, packaging, transportation, palletizing and other operations are highly automated, many processes are still inseparable from people’s hands

in the process of food production, the role of production workers’ hands is mainly reflected in the following processes: purchasing raw and auxiliary materials, opening packaging containers, opening and closing machines, segmentation, kneading, product molding, handling materials, packaging, sealing, inspection, etc. Especially in the processing of some foods with high requirements for texture and softness, it is necessary to test the sensory properties of the materials, and it is often unable to achieve the ideal effect by relying solely on machines. 1n this case, we still need to rely on human experience to judge. We need to judge the sensory changes of food materials by hand touch, eye, nose, etc

but in the process of food processing, packaging and logistics transportation, operators often have hand injuries, hand bacteria, molds, yeasts and other problems, which will not only bring physical injury to workers, but also pollute food and lead to unqualified food safety and quality, but also seriously affect the production and operation of food enterprises. So, how should food production enterprises do a good job of hand protection to prevent these problems

according to Mr. Zhou, a scientific and technical personnel of a disinfection technology center in Shanghai who specializes in food safety and quality control technology, the protection of workers’ hands mainly includes two aspects: one is to prevent workers’ hands from being cut, crushed or rolled by machines; the other is to prevent workers’ hands from being cut, crushed or rolled by machines; The second is to do a good job in hand hygiene of workers to prevent food contamination by microorganisms on unclean hands< According to Mr. Zhou, the following measures can be adopted to protect the hands of food production personnel: first, the use of nicoler automatic hand disinfection technology can effectively eliminate the contamination of food by microorganisms in the hands of production workers, so as to improve the quality of food safety. The second is to improve the operation standard of workers and prevent the occurrence of machine injury accidents. The correct wearing of protective gloves can reduce the injury to hands caused by machines or chemical solvents in the process of industrial production, hand injuries of production workers are mainly divided into contact dermatitis injury and mechanical injury: 1. Contact dermatitis injury is mainly the damage of hand skin of workers, and the symptoms of this kind of injury are dry skin, peeling, itching, redness, blisters, herpes, scar, etc. The causes of this injury include long-term contact with acid solution, alkali solution, detergent, disinfectant, etc., or cold injury, high temperature scald, flame burn, etc2. Mechanical injury is due to improper operation of workers or machine failure, which causes injury to workers’ bones, muscles, tissues and structures. The phenomenon of injury includes skin and flesh laceration, finger breakage and bone fracture, and even death one of the protective measures for workers’ hands in production enterprises is to wear protective gloves. As the name suggests, protective gloves are used to prevent external factors in the process of work or life from injuring our hands. These external injury factors include biological factors, chemical factors, physical factors and so on according to different uses, protective gloves can be divided into acid proof gloves, alkali proof gloves, high temperature proof gloves, low temperature proof gloves, water-proof gloves, insulating gloves, welder gloves, rubber oil-resistant gloves, gas-proof gloves, anti-static gloves, shock proof gloves, cutting resistant gloves, etc according to different materials, protective gloves can be divided into the following categories, and the quality requirements of these gloves are also different: 1. Rubber protective gloves. This kind of glove product shall not contain recycled rubber and ointment, and shall not have quality problems such as cracks, creases, stickiness, frosting and embrittlement. 1n addition to sulfide and other ingredients, the rubber content shall account for more than 70% of the total types2. Canvas protective gloves. The gloves can be divided into three specifications: five fingers, three fingers and two fingers. The sewing needle size is 4-5 needles per centimeter. The weight of canvas is not less than 380g / m2. 3. Plastic PVC protective gloves. The product is required to be made of materials that will not cause skin allergy and inflammation. The thickness of both sides of the glove shall not be less than 0.6 mm, and no air leakage is allowed. 4. Latex protective gloves. This kind of gloves should not leak air, the appearance should be no obvious cracks, bubbles, impurities and other quality problems. 5. White gauze protective gloves. This kind of gloves includes two varieties, namely flat mouth and rib mouth: plain mouth white yarn protective gloves should use white coarse cotton yarn (21 × 8) The weight is not less than 45g / pair. The white coarse cotton yarn (21 × 9) The weight is not less than 52 g / pair. 6.
