[Integrated] labor protection products: strict adherence to the last barrier to occupational health

Labor insurance products are the last guarantee of employee occupational health. Labor insurance products are a broad concept and are collectively referred to as daily items that are beneficial to personal safety and physical and mental health. In the construction and construction industries, when workers have to contact occupational hazards such as dust, noise, and electrical welding, they should strictly wear and use labor protection products.

Workers exposed to dust operations should minimize the dust concentration during construction and operators should wear dust masks properly. The dust removal device should be installed in the processing equipment used in the construction. Construction workers who work in high-density dust environments for a long time must wear protective masks; during the construction of the electric welding operators, attention should be paid to the ventilation of the construction work environment or the installation of local exhaust fumes. By improving the welding technology, the welding operation is mechanized and automated, and the person is isolated from the welding environment. The harm to the human body from the welding operation is fundamentally eliminated; when the noise is heavy, the construction personnel must wear protective ear caps and reduce Noise operation time. If you have headaches, tinnitus and other symptoms due to strong noise operations, you should immediately stop the operation and notify other personnel for treatment. Severe symptoms should be sent to a medical institution through emergency rescue teams.

If it is unfortunate to suffer from occupational diseases, how should the rights be safeguarded? The Municipal Work Safety Administration reminds that in addition to occupational injury insurance in accordance with the law, occupational-disease patients can also submit claims for compensation to employers in accordance with civil law, and the extent of infringement claims is limited to the actual losses of workers. It is a model of compensatory compensation. After obtaining the work-related injury insurance, the worker can present this idea to the employer.

During the investigation, the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau found that many of the employers' employees or laborers use gauze masks and cannot achieve the dustproof effect. The "Standard for the Provision of Labor Protective Equipment (Trial)" issued by the State Economic and Trade Commission in 2000 explicitly requires that "gauze masks should not be used as dust masks" because the general cotton masks can only block part of the dust, and the principle of resistance to dust is mechanical. Filtration, that is, when the dust collides with the gauze, through the layer of barrier, blocking some large particles of dust in the sand. However, for some fine dusts, especially those less than 5 microns in size, they will pass through the mesh of the gauze and enter the respiratory system. The dust below 5 microns can directly enter the alveoli, which will have the greatest impact on human health. Layers will not enhance the protective effect.
