Breaking the chain of survival of counterfeit labor protection articles

A few days ago, according to the Hebei News Radio Report, the reporter visited a number of construction sites and labor protection stores in Shijiazhuang and found that the helmets were not safe.

The main reasons for insecurity are: The helmet standard GB/T 2811-2007 clearly stipulates the standards that the helmet products should meet. After the impact and puncture tests, the caps must not be detached. According to this standard, in the impact resistance, a qualified helmet must withstand the impact of a hammer with a mass of 5 kg falling vertically from a height of 1 meter. The helmets that the reporter saw did not meet the standards. Needless to say, they were knocked with a hammer and they would not even use bricks. Even when the reporters knocked on their hands, the workers said, “Don’t knock it out and knock it out.”

The safety helmet is the necessary equipment for the safety of construction workers. It is also the last safety guarantee. However, such a quality standard has emerged: The helmet is not only thin and transparent, but also has a very soft hand. It can be deformed when pressed lightly by hand. The safety helmet that should have played a role in safety protection can not play a protective role, but why it can be produced from the factory, enters the market in a grand manner, enters the construction site, and is not even a family, but is a common phenomenon in many construction sites. For such hard hats that did not provide any protective effect at all, the workers expressed their frustration. They only took the helmets as a psychological comfort, mainly relying on their own care.

Workers can be helpless, but as a regulatory department, they cannot help. After all, there are also quite good things to do. As mentioned in the article, there are no non-standard safety helmets like Beijing and Shanghai. The workers said: “A Beijing and a Shanghai, check the safety helmets and seat belts, where they are produced. The number of pulls produced in a few days is all that is to be tested on the spot. If it fails to be fined, Beijing will impose fines of tens of thousands if it is fined once it is caught.” So it’s not safe. The existence of safety helmets is closely related to the inaction of the local regulatory authorities.

The reason why poor quality helmets can be popular is that they need to meet three conditions: First, the lack of awareness and helplessness of laborers' safety awareness; second, the profit-making plans of merchants, companies, and contractors on construction sites; and third, related departments use these eyes for ordinary people. Observe and use the hand to press the security risks that can be found to take the attitude of listening and letting go. Only if these three aspects are all in line, poor quality helmets may become popular.

To address these three issues, the following measures should be taken: First, to strengthen workers' awareness of safety, and to increase the amount of rewards reported by workers, and to increase their enthusiasm for reporting; second, compulsory implementation of safety standards. Once unsatisfactory helmets are found, From the production, sales, and use of all links to find the reasons, whether it is construction sites, businesses or production companies, must be punished in accordance with the highest standards, so that their benefits are not enough punishment; Third, increase the intensity of inspections, especially if the higher levels Without a census, spot checks can be conducted to identify unsatisfactory helmets and local regulatory authorities should be held accountable. Only in this way, poor quality helmets do not survive.

Of course, it is imperative that the protection of labor supplies is not just a kind of helmet. It should also check whether non-slip non-skid shoes, unprotected protective clothing, or unsafe seat belts are used.

If we say that other products can be divided into several standards, which meet the needs of people at different levels, then labor protection supplies are used to protect the lives of workers, and a standard must be implemented. Once a uniform standard of sex is found, if it is found to be inconsistent with the requirements of labor protection supplies, whether or not it is used, it is necessary to trace the roots. No matter whether it is a producer or a seller, it must strictly investigate heavy penalties and cut off the chain of interest for survival. Only In this way, labor protection products can really play a role in protecting the safety of workers.
