In addition to occupational disease prevention education, occupational health education also has an important content, that is, health education for employees' daily life. The health of employees is the overall health. If you are in poor health due to the influence of bad factors in your life, it will also affect your work, and it may be more likely to lead to occupational diseases due to the decline of physical resistance. Therefore, healthy life education for employees is also an indispensable part of occupational health education.

Healthy life education mainly includes education on tobacco control, alcohol restriction, reasonable diet and general hygiene habits.

1. Control smoking

Smoking will destroy the respiratory mucosa, so that the function of clearing foreign bodies of the respiratory mucosa is greatly reduced, and bacteria are easy to invade the lungs and cause lung diseases. The dust hazard suffered by petrochemical workers has a similar effect. If employees have the habit of smoking while accepting dust hazards, it will make it more difficult for dust particles inhaled into alveoli to be discharged from the body, which can promote the occurrence of occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis. In addition, smoking can also promote tracheal inflammation. If practitioners are exposed to irritating gases at the same time, it may increase the incidence of tracheitis and aggravate the condition. Therefore, smoking will greatly increase the incidence of occupational diseases among employees. Smoking control education is also very important when carrying out occupational health education.

Restrict drinking

Drinking is more harmful to petrochemical practitioners than ordinary people. This is because petrochemical workers usually have many opportunities to contact with metal chemical poisons, such as lead and hydrocarbon organic compounds. Drinking alcohol will not only strengthen the damage of chemical poisons to the liver, but also aggravate or promote the symptoms of poisoning. After drinking alcohol, alcohol will release poisons such as lead stored in bones. When the concentration of poison in blood reaches a certain level, poisoning symptoms will appear. Moreover, organic chemical poisons must be decomposed and metabolized by human liver. Drinking alcohol will not only increase the burden on the liver, but also increase the destructive effect of other poisons on the liver, making liver poisoning more serious. It can be seen that restricting drinking is also of great significance to the health of petrochemical workers.

Reasonable diet

Some petrochemical workers engaged in manual labor may consume a lot of energy in the process of work because of their high labor intensity or long working hours. If they can't eat properly, they are prone to malnutrition. For some petrochemical workers engaged in mental work, due to lack of activities and proper physical exercise, there may be overnutrition, leading to obesity and other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to educate employees to have a reasonable diet, arrange meals according to different types of work, and supplement nutrition appropriately.

4. Cultivate good hygiene habits

Good hygiene habits are washing face, washing hands, brushing teeth and taking a bath. Keep yourself clean and don't eat or rest in a polluted environment. For petrochemical workers, this is of special significance. According to research, the main ways of chemical poisons entering the human body are respiratory tract, digestive tract and skin, so not eating in a toxic environment can reduce the chances of poisons entering the human body; Moreover, frequent hand washing can reduce the chances of poisons entering the digestive tract from hands; Frequent bathing can reduce pollutants and poisons on the skin, which is conducive to reducing pathogenic factors and protecting the health of practitioners.
