Introduction
Heat-resistant materials industry includes production, processing, transportation and use of a variety of heat-resistant materials, fire-resistant materials, corrosion-resistant materials and other products, including refractories, ceramic products, cements, etc.. Heat-resistant materials engineering industry is an important part of the national economy, and labor health has a great influence on workers physical and mental health and normal production. Therefore, the labor health of workers in the heat-resistant materials industry is of great importance.
Safety and health hazards of heat-resistant materials industry
With the rapid development of heat-resistant materials industry, there are lots of kinds of different types, varieties and production processes, thus creating a large number of labor health hazards. Especially, the combustion gases after incineration and the toxic and hazardous dusts generated by equipment are of great harm, which will directly and seriously affect workers’normal life, health and safety.
In addition to hazardous dust and gas, noise and vibration are also common labor safety and health hazards in heat-resistant materials industry. The reasons for these problems include: first, the employees in the central area of the manufacturing plant have to work in a noisy environment, which will cause the workers physical fatigue and hearing damage; second, the aging machinery and equipment will also produce relatively high sound vibrations, which are also a potential source of physical harm; third, due to the effective protective measures and personal protective equipment such as anti-noise earplugs and anti-vibration gloves are not used in the industry.
In addition, the employees also need to work in a narrow and closed environment, without ventilation and without sufficient oxygen supply, which will cause the workers to experience various kinds of uncomfortable physical manifestations such as headaches, dizziness, physical and mental fatigue, chest tightness and even suffocation.
Health precautions in the heat-resistant materials industry
1. Improve the safety awareness of workers
The safety of workers in heat-resistant materials industry needs to be improved by strengthening safety education. Firstly, make sure that workers have awareness of the potential labor safety and health hazards in the industry and prevent such health hazards from happening. Secondly, establish a set of healthy and disciplined lifestyle habits for the workers, to avoid activities and behavior that would harm their physical and mental health.
2. Establish a safe and healthy work environment
Given the current labor health hazards in the heat-resistant materials industry, the enterprises should take some effective measures to improve their working environment. Firstly, to take effective dust treatment and anti-noise measures, such as setting dust collectors, instaling sound-absorbing materials and strengthening ventilation; secondly, to facilitate safe and healthy living conditions of workers, such as arranging healthy meals and rest times; thirdly, to equip the workers with suitable personal protective equipment, such as anti-noise earplugs, anti-vibration gloves and masks, etc..
3. Enhance physical health discipline
In order to strengthen the physical health status of the workers in heat-resistant materials industry, enterprises should consider a series of measures, such as regularly organizing employees to exercise, encouraging workers to stop smoking and drinking, and improving workers sleep quality.
Conclusion
The health risks of heat-resistant materials engineering industry are relatively large, involving workers
In terms of safety and health hazards, enterprises should take effective measures to eliminate and reduce health hazards, strengthen safety education and promotion, improve the safety conditions in the workplace, and improve the physical health of the workers in heat-resistant materials engineering industry. Do our best to ensure the safety and health of the workers in heat-resistant materials industry and make sure that they can work and live in a safe and healthy environment.
