(Forwarded) Don’t take the proper use of protective equipment lightly

Thread Content

“To avoid or reduce work-related injuries, protective equipment must be worn before starting work. ”This is a well-worn saying in safety work. However, when going down to the workshop to check safety measures, I still see some workers ignoring the regulations by operating equipment under high temperatures and pressures while wearing tank tops and slippers. 　　The Work Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China stipulates clearly that, during their work, employees must strictly abide by their employer’s work safety rules and procedures, comply with management instructions, and properly wear and use personal protective equipment. It can be said that wearing proper personal protective equipment is a safety barrier for ensuring efficient production. But sometimes, some people fail to wear protective gear because of the heat or inconvenience. In fact, while indulging in short-term laziness, danger is lurking around us; we must not wait until we get injured before regretting our actions. 　　A friend who works in a workshop once experienced an incident firsthand, and he still feels shaken when thinking about it. It happened when he was adding insulating material to the electrolyzer; he wasn’t wearing a protective mask or work clothes. When the shovel was inserted, electrolyte at a temperature of over 900 degrees suddenly burst out from the electrolyzer and splashed onto him, causing several holes to appear in his clothes immediately. His body felt extremely painful, and if he hadn’t dodged in time, the electrolyte would have hit his face, with consequences that would be unimaginable. Afterward, he said: If I had worn a protective mask and work clothes, I wouldn’t have suffered the consequences even if something went wrong. From his experience, we can see that no matter what we do in the future, we must first arm ourselves before we can work safely. 　　Perhaps wearing protective equipment may seem like a trivial matter to people, but upon closer consideration, it is actually a matter of life and death that must not be ignored at any time. Yijia Protection Net reminds: It is currently the rainy season and hot-weather period. Overcoming the heat and dealing with the rainfalls while achieving all set goals and tasks is of top priority for enterprises. Whether working underground or in surface operations, please wear protective equipment properly to provide yourself with a safe \"shield\".
