[Comprehensive] Safety Supervision Department of Xiangtan Power Generation Company develops training standards for labor insurance selection

Recently, the Safety Supervision Department of Xiangtan Power Generation Company organized the Company's safety supervisors to carry out training on labor insurance selection standards. This training aims to promote on-site protection and supervision.

"The higher the level of labor protection products, the better." "The body is already resistant to harmful substances and does not need to wear protective equipment." "Dust masks can be washed." ... This training is based on these mistaken perceptions. Start.

Then, what kind of correct perceptions should we have about labor insurance products?

The selection of personal protective equipment should be based on a comprehensive consideration of the type, nature and concentration of harmful substances in the workplace, as well as the individual conditions of the operators. It is necessary to prevent “protection from being inadequate” and to prevent the occurrence of “excessive protection”. The most suitable job environment is the best.

Some people think that the body will be immune to harmful substances, which is ridiculous. After exposure to harmful substances, people usually do not develop diseases quickly, and the incubation period is sometimes very long, such as years, decades or even decades, such as pneumoconiosis, and the incidence often reaches from several years to more than 10 years after dust exposure.

Dust mask filter material can not be washed. The high-efficiency filters used in dust masks are usually non-woven materials, and some rely on electrostatic charges on fibers to filter respiratory dust. After washing, the microstructure of the filter material will be damaged. There will be cracks and holes that are invisible to the naked eye. Electrostatic charges will also be lost in large amounts. The more the filter material is washed, the lower the resistance will be. It will feel more comfortable to breathe and it will not feel breathable. Failure of protection.
