    News: Employment pressure is increasing today, there is a job is facing recruitment difficulties, this is the
    painting
    workers, the author learned from many decoration companies and factories, painters are becoming one of the most difficult positions for employers to recruit. Some decoration companies have a hard time hiring satisfied painters even when they are well paid.
    four times the salary, painters are still difficult to recruit, what is the reason for this? With this question, the author launched an investigation. Since last year, the labor market has been difficult to recruit painters, according to Yangzhou third quarter job supply and demand report shows that according to the number of gaps, demand is greater than the job gap of the first three occupations are decoration painters, enterprise managers and mechanical cold processing personnel. Take a heavy industrial base, the demand for painters is very high. They pay a monthly salary of 5000-8000 yuan for the painter's post, and mark the annual leave, maternity leave, year-end award, child grants and other welfare benefits, but still few people ask. "In the first few years, 1000 yuan can recruit skilled workers, now open to five or six, no one wants to do, " said the person in charge helplessly. Paint recruitment difficulties also appear in Shijiazhuang City, according to Shijiazhuang City labor market statistics, the average monthly wage of painters can reach 5000 yuan, the level of recruitment wages increased by 20%-30% compared to the same period last year. Even so, the difficulty of hiring is still not good.
    experts said that decoration painters work hard, unseemly, and harmful to the body, although the pay package is good, but the gap is still very large, the rate of seeking people as high as 4.63. A 31-year-old migrant worker Tan said he had worked as a painter, fitter, and now want to find a job as a fitter, because the workshop set of their own are very familiar. Asked why he no longer chose to work as a painter, he replied: "The paint is poisonous, it smells so bad, and occasionally he feels dizzy and nauseous when he works a little longer." So even if the salary is high, it is not intended to do any more, to earn money is not enough to see a doctor. "It seems to speak of the painter's general helplessness.
    data show that: long-term exposure to solvent-based paint, light makes people prone to fatigue, memory loss, lack of concentration; There are persistent personality and emotional changes such as fatigue, emotional instability, self-control ability and decreased autonomy, and more severe mental impairment, dementia, loss of working ability, etc., accidents occur frequently in painters' labor everywhere.
    Case one: Wujiang 3 paint workers iron box operation deep poisoning coma
    WuJiang Pingwang a textile factory 3 painters, in the 3 meters deep paint iron box constantly busy. Due to the poor ventilation environment in the iron box, the toxic gas gathered in the box increased, and three painters were unconscious. When the police arrived at the scene, the scene paint smell is very strong, the air filled with a strong smell of toluene. The strong, pungent smell smoked the police and kept vomiting. Because of the timely delivery of medical treatment, after medical staff rescue, three people out of danger, "if sent later, three people may brain death can not wake up again." "The medical staff said with a lot of heart.
    case list two: failed to protect the neurological poisoning painter jumped off the 3rd floor
    The attending doctor, Zhou Chengjie, asked about his medical history and learned that Li had been working in paint for six years. His workmate said that he did not wear a mask when painting these days, the last two days are always sleeping, speech is not much, but also always said that someone wants to kill him. Why is this happening? Doctor Zhou Chengjie said that many poor-quality paint, adhesives contain benzene and other components, such organic compounds can enter the body through the respiratory tract, skin, etc. , infringing the nervous system, hema production system and liver organs. In the early stages of poisoning, white blood cells continue to decrease mainly, in the medium term can occur skin cyanosis, gum bleeding, nosebleeds, etc. , and eventually the occurrence of poor regeneration or regenerative disorder anemia. Most paints are highly pro-fat and easily accumulate in the central nervous system through cell membranes, so they can easily cause damage to brain cells, inducing diseases such as toxic encephalopathy, chronic solvent poisoning syndrome, chronic painter syndrome, and neuropsychiaction. Li is not a psychopath like depression, his main cause is long-term paint work, personal protective measures did not do a good job caused by occupational diseases.
    Through the above two typical cases can be seen that painters face the work environment there is a serious risk of harm to health, poor quality paint will cause harm to their bodies, the working environment is often dirty mess, dust flying, due to the need for work, their working environment is often closed, paint volatile harmful ingredients are not easy to disperse more serious harm to the health of painters, these highly toxic substances on the human body is extremely harmful. They cause damage to the nervous system, respiratory system, hema production system, etc. through the respiratory tract and skin, and can even cause poisoning or death. Painters long-term exposure to low concentrations of benzene, may cause chronic poisoning, damage to the human nervous system, hema production system, and even affect the growth and development of the next generation. Numerous medical examinations have confirmed that painters have a higher risk of lung and bladder cancer.
    we need to start with solving the problem of difficult recruitment of painters?
    relevant regulations stipulate that mechanical ventilation facilities must be installed in places where occupational hazards are present, so as to reduce the concentration of benzene-containing compounds in the air and to control the hazards of toxic substances below national health standards. Therefore, there are coating operations of wood products enterprises must set up a separate paint room, not mixed with other processes; The spray room must adopt the ventilation mode combining the upper and lower wind and positive and negative pressure to ensure that the air is fresh and smooth. Spraying room must use water curtain (water curtain) detoxification and detox measures to ensure the timely discharge of poison between spraying; Flushing facilities should be installed in the paint room and paint dirt on walls and floors must be cleaned regularly.
    Enterprises must equip their staff engaged in painting, glue, paint and other operations with protective clothing, gloves and gas masks that comply with the Labor Protection Products Selection Rules (GB11651) and the Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protection Products (GB/T18664) and urge them to wear them correctly. Workers should wear anti-virus masks when operating, and in special circumstances, workers should use air masks. Enterprises should reform production methods and processes, improve the level of mechanization, as far as possible so that operators do not touch and less exposure to harmful gases. Third: regular health check-ups. Enterprises shall conduct occupational health check-ups at least once a year for staff exposed to highly toxic substances, and organize pre-service, on-the-job and off-duty occupational health check-ups for personnel engaged in coating work in accordance with the law. At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of regulations, to do a good job in labor, work injury insurance, environmental protection and other work.
    of occupational disease prevention and control pointed out that coating personnel should learn the knowledge of occupational hazard protection, understand the legal knowledge to safeguard their rights and interests. The most
    prevent
    of toxic substances is to maintain good ventilation conditions and reduce the concentration of toxic substances in the air. If the ventilation conditions at the coating site are not good, the painter should rest in the ventilation area for a certain period of time after the coating period. In addition, painters should try to avoid skin and solvents, coatings and other toxic and harmful substances contact. To this end, paint workers should consciously take necessary labor protection measures, such as wearing work clothes, anti-virus gloves, masks and protective glasses, as far as possible to avoid direct contact with the skin paint, to prevent harmful gases directly into the respiratory system. Global
    Coating Network
    believes that after the coating is completed, painters should promptly clean up tools and residual materials, closed paint barrels and solvent barrels, wipe the brush of the test paint, timely disposal of waste cloth head and other industrial waste. Paint workers should avoid washing their hands with toxic solvents (such as benzene-rich dissolved Liu), do not eat at the construction site, wash their hands with soap before or after work, wash their faces and change their work clothes.
    you do a good job of protection? Doctors point out that protective equipment such as anti-virus masks, jumpsuits, protective glasses, rubber gloves, etc. should be worn at work. The most effective way to reduce the concentration of benzene compounds in the air is to wear a gas mask. For the choice of gas masks, do not want to buy cheap inferior products, the best choice of silicone products. For some patients with acute and chronic benzene-containing compounds, the current treatment means are more limited, when acute poisoning occurs, patients should be quickly moved to fresh air places, take off contaminated clothes, pay attention to quiet and insulation, immediately sent to the hospital for treatment.
