Labor protection supplies safety

clothes

In daily production, the most important “clothes” for employees are labor protection articles. According to the relevant national regulations, labor protection articles refer to the individuals who wear or reduce accidental injuries and occupational hazards in the production process. Wear accessories such as helmets, seat belts, safety nets, dense mesh safety nets, protective shoes, and welding eye shields.

The most important function of labor protection products is protection. It is the last important line of defense for the safety and health of employees. If this line of defense is lost, practitioners are directly exposed to accident injuries and occupational hazards. However, in real life, the company is either not equipped with anti-labor supplies, or is not equipped with the enterprise, or equipped with the quality of equipment. Failed to wear, employees do not wear and other reasons, this safety "clothing" of the protective equipment has not been able to play its due role, it deserves attention.

Question one:

Not allotted: Laborers who don’t pay money do not send

Record of complaints: The newspaper recently received a letter of complaint. The complainant, Mr. Shen, expressed his doubts in his letter. He told reporters that when he was walking relatives, he found out that the engineering team near his relatives was not wearing any protective equipment when he was constructing. He was puzzled: “When I went, they happened to be sand walls, so big gray, all pedestrians. When I walked past, I had to snuggle with my nose all the way. The migrant workers didn’t eat anything like that. I saw that all of their faces were gray, asked them, and they said that the team had no labor protection products. Then I asked again. Project supervision, the results of the supervision said that the migrant workers themselves do not want to spend money to buy. Labor protection products are the costs the company should bear. How can the laborers personally bear it?"

On-the-spot investigation: Enterprises do not distribute anti-labour supplies. After all, it is out of cost considerations. In each city inspection in recent years, some unscrupulous companies have been exposed, because similar incidents have come to my newspaper to complain. Every complaint has a helplessness behind it, and the consequences are all painful. Even if the laborer finally succeeds in defending his rights, the price paid by his body is irretrievable, and the culprit of all this is the enterprise’s ".

Breakthrough program: In this regard, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Safety Production Supervision Law Xuanke said that, in fact, this is related to the provisions.

The national safety production rules and regulations clearly require that companies must provide qualified safety helmets, safety belts, and other necessary safety protective equipment for any dangerous operations.

However, these regulations have not been truly implemented in the production of some enterprises. Enterprises only do some superficial articles on labor protection when they are inspected. Afterwards, they still go their own way. Therefore, to radically eliminate such problems, it is necessary to strengthen the reporting and inspection efforts and develop every employee to become a safe “supervisor”.

Question two:

Not in place: One day shrinks into one month

Complaint Record: Early in the morning, two complaints came from the newspaper's letter room. One of them was thin and small, and his face was a little grey. This is Mr. Zhang. His son was accompanied by him. Just sitting down, Mr. Zhang told the newspaper about his experience.

Mr. Zhang said that he and his wife were painters working in the same company. The entire company had only two of them responsible for painting. Due to the large number of businesses, the couple had to work 14 to 15 hours a day for the delivery on time. When it came into contact with paints and other harmful items, the company only sent them the thinnest gauze masks. Mr. Zhang said that these masks did not provide protection at all. He had asked the company to change to a professional protective mask, or changed thickness. A little mask, the company immediately expressed its refusal.

In October last year, Mr. Zhang and his wife had headaches, weak legs, and frequent colds. They went to the hospital for a check. The doctors did not say anything. They directly asked what kind of work they were doing. They asked them to go to the Occupational Hygiene Branch to see the results. In diagnosis, Mr. Zhang’s white blood cells have been greatly reduced, which has reached a relatively serious level, while his wife suffers from upper respiratory tract infections and inflammation in the lungs.

At present, Mr. and Mrs Zhang are still working hard to identify occupational diseases.

Similar experience was Mr. Qian, 47. He was a company's grinder and was accompanied by dust and noise all day. Mr. Qian described his appearance as a “gray face” after he worked every day. He said: “Regardless of the weather, Hot and cold, take a bath every day, wash your body with mud, otherwise, go home with a taste of a gray, it must be called out."

Speaking of protective equipment, Mr. Qian said that the company only issued two pairs of cotton gloves and gauze masks every month. For his grinder, the two gloves a day are similar. In November last year, Mr. Qian was diagnosed with multiple malignant myeloma because he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath to go to the hospital for examination. Now he can only wait for chemotherapy once and for all.

On-site investigation: Units that do not send anti-labour supplies will be investigated and punished by the inspection department, but it takes a lot of money for employees to purchase anti-labor supplies. How the two “neutralize”, so some unscrupulous companies have moved their brains. Employees were symbolically equipped with some "alternatives". The masks were replaced with sanitary gauze masks. The two sets became two sets in January. The reporter learned from a labor protection product market. Gauze masks are better for sale than professional dust masks. When it comes to the reasons, the boss doesn't understand it: "Of course it's cheap, or why?"

The problem-breaking plan: The "Protection of Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases" expressly provides that employers must adopt effective occupational disease prevention facilities and provide workers with personal protective equipment for personal use; employers must provide personal protective equipment for occupational diseases to meet the requirements of prevention and treatment of occupational diseases. If it does not meet the requirements, it must not be used. The Labor Contract Law also stipulates that laborers have the right to criticize, report, and sue employers for work conditions that endanger life safety and physical health. Therefore, laborers must bravely defend their right to safe production and do not allow unscrupulous companies to find a way out because of your weaknesses.

Question three:

Unqualified: fake shoddy helmet worn no good

Complaint Record: In recent days, the reporter once again connected Xiao Huang, a construction worker once interviewed. He suffered a severe setback in his skull during the accident and lost his basic ability to work. Now he can only rely on his parents' money to sell his food to maintain his life.

When the Xiao Huang family complained to the newspaper afterwards, the construction worker Xiao Yan and his coworker Xiao Huang went to join the house to eat. After passing the faucet on the construction site, Xiao Huang said that he would drink water and go over to the faucet. Walking, Xiaoyan stood there waiting for him. Suddenly, a piece of wood fell from above the construction site, and it fell on the head of Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang suddenly fell down in a pool of blood. The helmet on his head had become a piece of blood stained.

When the reporter interviewed the worker's brother-in-law, he took off his head's helmet and played it in his hand. He said: “It's just a form. It's the same if you don’t wear it. The boss bought us the cheapest helmet to save costs.” "They also knocked on the helmet in a homeopathic manner. The sound was crisp and thin.

Another glass cutter that was once reported by the newspaper was because of aging gloves, small holes, and burns caused by hydrofluoric acid when the glass was wiped. When it was taken to the hospital, his hands had red spots and turned gray. Post-functions are affected and surgery is required.

On-site investigation: The reporter learned that at present, the anti-corruption products on the market are mixed, and fake and shoddy products are serious, especially helmets and safety nets. A lot of inferior products, there is no inspection report, product identification is incomplete, its sales price is a difference of several times. Taking a dust mask as an example, the lowest retail price is only 0.4 yuan. If you wholesale more than 500 pieces, you can get a minimum of 0.05 yuan each. However, in different workplaces, protective masks need to have different effects. Ordinary gauze masks can not effectively block harmful particles in the air, cheap gauze masks are even less effective, and masks of 0.3 yuan and 0.4 yuan have almost no protective effect.

Problem-solving plan: According to the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Labor Protective Products," the production and business operation unit should equip the employees with labor protection supplies in accordance with the relevant regulations and standards. The labor protection supplies provided must not exceed the period of use and must not be replaced by currency or other articles. .

Chen Haida, secretary-general of the Shanghai Labor Protection Products Industry Association, said at the seminar that the association will investigate the status of dust and anti-drug supplies and make analysis to allow enterprises to do a good job related work and protect the occupational health of workers. For purchasers, they also need to have some common sense. For example, when purchasing, they should go to a regular qualified store to buy; when purchasing labor protection products, they must look for products with the “QS” or “LA” logo. When necessary, samples can be taken from bulk goods and sent to qualified labor protection products quality supervision and inspection agencies to verify whether the goods really meet the quality requirements.

Question 4:

Do not wear: blame after accident

Complaint Record: Recently, the reporter encountered such a complainant Xiao Li, saying that he broke his leg while working outdoors and asked the unit to report an injury to him. Xiao Li said that he received a task to install a light box for the company. When he boarded the two-story escalator, his feet slipped and the whole person fell heavily on the ground. At the time, he only felt the tingle of the ankle. The coworkers who worked together immediately called "120" and sent them to the hospital. After hearing Xiao Li’s statement, the reporter immediately asked if the unit did not send you a seat belt. Operation with no? Li looked puzzled: "That's a lot of trouble! If I don't take it, do I take responsibility?

I see everyone doing so and there is nothing wrong with him. This time he was too careless. "Li Xiao's answer made reporters not know what to say at the moment. It was an on-site investigation: In an interview, the reporter found that many laborers wear labor." Anti-surgery was purely for inspections, and a construction worker told reporters that no one had ever told them when they should wear a helmet and how to wear a helmet properly. If it wasn’t for someone’s inspection, many workers didn’t like to wear safety. When the construction was hot, some helmets were stuffy and heavy, and they were uncomfortable to wear. Many people felt that as long as they were careful, Others would pay attention, and there would be no problem. The reporter also saw many construction workers. Working shirtless in the summer, even wearing a hard hat, is just a symbolic deduction.

Problem-solving plan: In this regard, the Shanghai Labor Protection Supplies Industry Association will organize industry experts to write a training material on occupational health and personal protection, and help companies to strengthen training for employees in this area. The employees themselves should also have a sense of self-protection and learn to use labor protection products correctly. (Li Jiejie)
