I saw someone ask this question before (around the beginning of the year), and other users also provided quite a few answers, listing various emergency rescue equipment. However, those answers were based on personal experience; no one was able to cite any relevant standards or regulations to back them up. After a year has passed, I wonder if anyone can give me a satisfactory answer.

:) Regarding labor protection – knowledge of personal protective equipment: The various dangers and harmful factors present in the production process can harm workers’ bodies, damage their health, and even endanger their lives. Labor protection equipment refers to the various items worn and used during work to protect the human body from harmful physical, chemical, biological, and other factors. Personal protective equipment mainly includes: 1. Protective clothing. These include hats, clothing, aprons, and shoe covers, etc., and are primarily designed to prevent heat radiation, rays, microwaves, and chemical pollutants from damaging the skin or entering the body through it. 2. Eye protection and face shields include welder goggles, furnace workers’ goggles and face shields, as well as eye protection against microwaves and debris. 3. Respiratory protectors: Based on their structure and principle, respiratory protectors can be divided into two main categories: filtering types and supplied-air isolation types. (1) Self-priming filtering types are protectors that filter and purify harmful substances using the wearer’s own breathing force. (2) The working principle of a isolated respirator is to isolate the wearer’s respiratory organs from a contaminated environment, and it is a protective device that maintains normal breathing by supplying air or oxygen. Used in work environments with low oxygen levels, severe dust and toxic pollution, unclear conditions, or life-threatening situations. 4. Earplugs. Ear protection includes earplugs, earmuffs, and ear caps, whose main function is to prevent noise-induced harm. 5. Protective gloves. They are mainly cotton gloves, but there are also gloves made by impregnating them with new types of rubber or polyurethane plastics. Gloves made of different materials can be used in various workplaces, such as solvent-resistant, oil-resistant, paint-resistant, pollution-resistant, heat-resistant, and cold-resistant gloves. Principles for the use of personal protective equipment: 1. Enterprises are obligated to provide workers with the necessary personal protective equipment. Enterprise workers should understand what protective equipment is needed for their work. Based on the different protection requirements of various workplaces, they must choose protective equipment with appropriate performance; it is absolutely unacceptable to make mistakes in selection or to use substandard equipment. In particular, filter-type respiratory protection devices must not be used as a substitute for isolation-type respiratory protection devices. 2. Those using personal protective equipment must understand the performance of the equipment they are using as well as the correct way to use it. For protective equipment with more complex structures and usage methods, such as respirators, repeated training is required to ensure they can be used correctly and swiftly. 3. Before using personal protective equipment, it must be thoroughly inspected; those that are damaged or severely worn out must be replaced promptly. Respirators used for first aid need to be checked regularly to ensure they function properly in emergency situations. First-aid respirators should be properly stored in locations near where accidents may occur, so that they can be accessed promptly. 4. Properly maintain protective equipment. This not only helps to extend the lifespan of protective equipment, but more importantly, it ensures its protective effectiveness. It is necessary to read the instructions for using and maintaining such equipment carefully, and to maintain it properly as required. Female workers and minor workers: Throughout their lives, women have many physiological and psychological differences from men. The State Council has issued many regulations. In summary, these include: 1. Specifying the types of work that female workers and underage workers are prohibited from doing: certain particularly dangerous industries, such as work in underground mines and work at heights ; Extraordinarily strenuous physical labor, such as tasks requiring a physical effort level of grade 6, is not permitted for women and underage workers. 2. It specifies the types of work that women are prohibited from performing during the four physiological phases (menstrual period, pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation). For example, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are prohibited from engaging in work involving exposure to toxic substances such as lead, benzene, and cadmium at concentrations exceeding **the health standards. 3. It stipulates the basic benefits that women are entitled to during the four stages of their lives. If the maternity leave lasts at least 90 days, the salary and benefits remain unchanged during that period ; Female employees must not be exposed to labor contracts or similar documents during pregnancy. 4. It stipulates the management measures for the employment of minor workers. It is stipulated that employers shall not assign minor workers to work in environments with excessive levels of dust or harmful substances, nor to engage in heavy physical labor, work in dangerous industries, or tasks prone to injury accidents. Special measures must be taken to manage minor workers, such as health checks prior to employment and the issuance of a \"Minor Worker Registration Certificate\" by local labor authorities. Knowledge of labor protection for special positions: 1. Special types of work Special types of work include: 1) Electrical work ; 2) Metal welding and cutting operations ; 3) Operation of lifting machinery (including elevators) ; 4) Operation of motor vehicles within the company ; 5) Work at heights ; 6) Boiler operations (including water quality testing) ; 7) Pressure vessel operation ; 8) Refrigeration operations ; 9) Blasting operations ; 10) Mine ventilation work (including gas testing) ; 11) Mine drainage operations (including tailings dam operations) ; 12) Other industries proposed by the comprehensive safety production management departments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, or by the industry-specific authorities under the State Council, and approved by the **Economic and Trade Commission. Personnel engaged in special operations must receive specialized safety and technical training as well as pass strict assessments. Only after passing these assessments will the comprehensive safety management department issue them a \"Special Operations Permit\" before they are allowed to start working. The \"Special Operations Permit\" requires renewal every two years. Jobs involving hazardous conditions: Positions that involve high temperatures, toxic substances, exposure to dust, heavy physical labor, or work at heights are considered jobs with hazardous conditions. When working in positions involving toxic or hazardous substances, it is necessary to wear personal protective equipment such as safety helmets, safety belts, insulating gear, gas masks, or dust masks. ※When working in areas prone to fire, explosion, burns, and static electricity, fiber-based protective gear must never be used. Operating posture and health: The rules for an operating posture that requires minimal effort, causes least fatigue, has the least impact on physical health, and ensures maximum efficiency during tasks are as follows: 1. Eliminate unnecessary movements to make the tasks simpler and easier. 2. Perform the movements over the shortest possible distance. 3. The movements of both hands should start and end at the same time. 4. The hands should not rest simultaneously, except during rest time. 5. Both arms should move symmetrically in opposite directions at the same time. 6. Actions should be performed using the fewest number of body parts possible. The sequence of hand movements from lower to higher levels is: fingers, wrist, forearm, upper arm, shoulder. 7. Make use of an object’s inertia and gravity as much as possible. 8. Avoid sudden changes in direction; use continuous curved motion. 9. Use free and comfortable movements to utilize one’s natural speed of movement. 10. Establish an appropriate work rhythm. Employees should perform tasks suitable for their positions, engage in regular exercise as needed, and become highly familiar with the work they carry out. :)
Thank you, it’s very detailed. I’ll study it carefully. What interests me most are the **standards and regulations** that are used; I will go through the documents you provided in detail. Thank you again.
The above is enough; let’s learn it together*
