[Comprehensive] The dust-filled protective articles in the spice plant are not "protected"

At present, the safety production situation is still severe and complex. To this end, the safety supervision department of our province has implemented a new law enforcement model—a “double random, two open” system. The safety monitoring departments at all levels randomly select inspection objects and inspection items during law enforcement inspections. , Randomly select inspectors and technical experts, promptly open the inspection object, open inspection results of law enforcement. This means that the experts and law enforcement personnel are put on a “sweeping spell” and the “humanity card” is forbidden, and the company is forced to make serious corrections.

From October 18th, the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau organized five inspection teams to carry out special law enforcement inspections across the province. The newspaper published follow-up reports from this day to publicly expose the discovered hidden dangers in order to strengthen awareness and the bottom line of the production safety red line. thinking.

Spice plant "white pimple"

Yesterday, Dayang Plastics Co., Ltd. was making rectifications tensely.

On October 18th, the inspection team randomly selected two experts from the safety production expert database, and from the list of companies provided by the Provincial Occupational Health Division, randomly selected Hubei Dayang Plastics Co., Ltd. located in Suizhou, Guangshui, for inspection.

Into the PVC pipe mixing plant, the scene is shocking. Most devices are covered with thick white dust, and the warning signs posted on the walls are also covered with dust, and the original appearance is barely visible. Some members of the inspection team accidentally stumbled onto the wall, and their clothes and hair were covered with white powder for a short while. Accompanying experts said, "This wall can be written." Continued to go deep into the workshop and found that the glass windows were sealed around and the roof was not ventilated. Although the workshop was shut down on that day, there was still a lot of dust in the air.

Under the leadership of a staff member of the company, the inspection team saw several dust removal facilities on the second floor of the workshop. At the request of the inspection team, the staff members demonstrated on site the scene of normal discharge operations. One worker discharged the material at a slower rate, and the powdery material quickly spread in front of the worker. The dust removal facility was "inappropriate." What surprised the inspection team was that most of the protective glass covers on the machines were invisible, and employees were only able to “closely contact” the dust during their work.

Protective equipment used by workers is also not protected. A worker in the workshop was cleaning. He did not wear a filter mask according to the relevant requirements, wearing only a simple cotton mask. In the PVC pipe pelletizing and cutting workshop, the noise on the site is large, but the workers did not wear anti-noise earplugs as required.

The inspection team found that the company still has failed to set up safety management agencies in accordance with the requirements of the "safety production law" and "occupational disease prevention and control law", and no official appointments have been made; it has not established employee training plans according to laws and regulations, nor has it organized according to requirements. Training; lack of safety warning signs and non-standard; detection results of occupational disease hazard factors have not been publicly disclosed and other issues.

Expert Reviews

Liu Ansheng, director of the Wuhan City Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Center Quality Management Office, pointed out that workers who work in such an environment are prone to diseases caused by the accumulation of dust in the lungs if they inhale a lot of dust for a long period of time. Gauze masks should not be used as dust masks, because the general cotton masks can only block part of the dust, but it can not block some fine dust from entering the respiratory system and can not achieve the protective effect. The noise level of the workshop noise is high, and if you do not wear earplugs that prevent noise, it will have an impact on hearing.

Reporter's notes

Occupational health, worker's dignity

"Be conscience, drink, rest assured, water," This is the engraved lettering on the Dayang Plastic Co., Ltd. at the entrance of a noticeable sign, but also the company's business philosophy. However, the inspection found that the company runs counter to its business philosophy in safety production, especially occupational health. “Occupational diseases are not as shocking as chemical accidents, fire accidents and other accidents, but this invisible killer is a lifetime injury to workers. Occupational disease prevention must be highly regarded, and development must not be at the expense of human health!” after inspection One expert said.

The newly revised Occupational Disease Prevention Law clearly stipulates that the main body responsible for the prevention and control of occupational diseases is the enterprise. However, some companies only put “security” on the wall, hanging around their mouths, and not being able to fit into the heart. We did not integrate occupational disease prevention into the scope of prevention and control of work safety, and did not fulfill our due diligence.

A company that does not pay attention to safe production is a company that does not respect the life of laborers; a company that does not respect life has to say how much it contributes to society.
