Beware of occupational diseases "killers" in electrostatic spraying workshops

Recently, Anshan City Health Supervision Institute occupational health supervision section I and section II related people came to Tiexi an electrostatic spraying plant In front of us is the thick dust on the ground The hanging plastic cloth is also full of dust Entering the spray booth with an area of more than 20 square meters, it was found that there was no ventilation at all One worker didn't even wear a mask Law enforcement officials said that the dust produced during spraying is harmful to human body There should be dust discharge measures in the spray booth and workers should wear gas masks A layer of green dust fell on the head of the law enforcement personnel coming out of another processing room As soon as the law enforcement personnel entered, a pungent smell came to their faces, and the dust in the air made people cough ceaselessly Another large processing room has closed doors and windows, full of smoke and oil smell The four workers in the workshop didn't even wear the most basic gas masks "Do you have a medical?" the law enforcement officer asked The worker froze and shook his head "Why not have a physical examination?" the law enforcement officer asked The answer is: the unit has not been arranged in a unified way, nor have they asked for it It is understood that there are three pollution sources of occupational diseases: dust, poison and physical factors, and occupational diseases caused by dust and poison are more common in occupational disease hospitals In winter, when doors and windows are closed, ventilation facilities in some workplaces are not good, and a large number of toxins are gathered in the air As time goes on, people working in this environment are prone to occupational diseases Because some clinical manifestations of occupational diseases are not obvious Some people are not easy to detect even if they are ill For example, pneumoconiosis is the most serious occupation disease with high incidence rate occupation There is no specific clinical manifestation of this disease, which is mostly related to complications, such as cough, expectoration, chest pain, dyspnea, etc Recently, three women workers working in the shoe factory went to the Hematology Department of the central hospital for treatment Most of them felt sick and powerless According to the doctor's diagnosis, the illness of these women workers is related to their working environment Benzene, the chemical raw material in the glue used for making shoes, is harmful to human body According to the law enforcement officer of the Municipal Health Supervision Institute, although there are many reasons for occupational disease hazards, it has a lot to do with the insufficient attention paid by the enterprise leaders to the law on prevention and control of occupational diseases Some enterprise leaders are not clear how to perform their legal obligations and responsibilities, and even some enterprise leaders are not aware of the promulgation of the law Law enforcement officers found that the lack of self-protection awareness of practitioners is more common Some employees do not know to ask for and report to the health supervision department to safeguard their rights when the unit does not issue personal protective equipment; some employees put the anti-virus masks issued by the unit into their pockets, hang them on their chest or expose their nostrils when they are engaged in toxic operations Prevention Law enforcement personnel introduced that enterprises with occupational disease hazards should arrange occupational health examination for employees before, during and after their posts according to law, because pre post physical examination can find out whether employees have occupational contraindications in time, and arrange positions according to the actual physical conditions of employees; regular physical examination during the post can find employees with symptoms of occupational diseases in time, and then adopt Take the adjustment of post and symptomatic treatment measures to avoid serious occupational diseases; when leaving the post, give physical examination to employees to obtain "legal basis" to prevent employees from "unclear" after leaving the post Therefore, do not regard physical examination as a small matter
Li Wenting, deputy director of Anshan Health Supervision Institute, reminded the staff to know whether the work they were engaged in was exposed to occupational hazards before taking up the post If there were occupational protection measures, they should sign labor contracts according to law When working in workplaces with occupational hazards, they should not close the doors and windows, pay attention to the use of ventilation facilities and windows to make harmful substances timely Be discharged, do not accumulate in the room; do not eat and sleep in the workplace to keep warm, food and living should be separated from the workplace In addition, those exposed to cotton dust should not smoke in the working environment For example, if textile workers smoke, the smoke can accelerate the destruction of human resistance and the ability to clear the upper respiratory tract, leading to respiratory tract infection, and promoting the formation of bronchitis
