How should painters prevent occupational diseases?
These highly toxic substances are extremely harmful to human body. They cause damage to the nervous system, respiratory system and hematopoietic system of human body through respiratory tract and skin, and even cause poisoning or death in severe cases. Long-term exposure of painters to low-concentration benzene may cause chronic poisoning, damage human nervous system and hematopoietic system, and even affect the growth and development of the next generation. A large number of medical examinations have confirmed that painters have a high probability of developing lung cancer and bladder cancer. Generally speaking, if enterprises paint according to standardized industry standards, the probability of painters suffering from occupational diseases can be reduced. However, if enterprises ignore the painter's health and do not take reasonable and effective preventive measures, then occupational diseases will become the normal state of painters. In particular, painters hired by some informal enterprises are often migrant workers who have just come out of the countryside. They have not received any formal training and lack safety awareness, which is more likely to lead to poisoning incidents. What aspects do enterprises need to start with? Wood products production enterprises should grasp the three links of painting, gluing and baking paint when dealing with highly toxic substances. Especially the management of painting is more critical. In the process of governance, what aspects of work should enterprises increase? One: improve the working environment. According to relevant laws and regulations, mechanical ventilation facilities must be installed in workplaces with occupational hazards to reduce the concentration of benzene series in the air and control the harm of toxic substances below the national health standards. Therefore, wood products enterprises with painting operations must set up an independent painting room and must not mix it with other processes; The spray booth must be ventilated by combining positive pressure and negative pressure to ensure the fresh and smooth air. The studio must use water curtain (water curtain) to reduce poison, running water to detoxify, and ensure that the poison in the studio is discharged in time; The paint room should be equipped with washing facilities, and the paint dirt on the walls and floors must be cleaned regularly. Second: equip employees with protective equipment. Enterprises must provide employees engaged in painting, gluing, air drying and other operations with protective clothing, gloves and anti-virus that meet the requirements of Rules for Selection of Labor Protection Articles (GB11) and Rules for Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protection Articles (GB/T 18664). Workers should wear gas masks when operating. Under special circumstances, workers must use gas masks. Enterprises should reform production methods and technological processes, improve the level of mechanization, and try their best to keep operators away from and less exposed to harmful gases. Third: regular physical examination. The enterprise shall carry out occupational health examination for employees exposed to toxic substances at least once a year, and organize personnel engaged in painting operations to carry out occupational health examination before, during and after leaving the post according to law. At the same time, we should do a good job in employment, industrial injury insurance and environmental protection in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations. The safety awareness of painters needs to be improved. Occupational disease prevention experts pointed out that painting personnel should learn the knowledge of occupational hazard protection and understand the legal knowledge of safeguarding their own rights and interests. The most effective way to prevent paint poisoning is to keep good ventilation and reduce the concentration of toxic substances in the air. If the painting site is poorly ventilated, rest in a ventilated place for a certain period of time after painting. In addition, paint workers should try to avoid skin contact with solvents, paints and other toxic and harmful substances. Therefore, painters should consciously take necessary labor protection measures when painting, such as wearing work clothes, gas gloves, masks and protective glasses. Avoid direct contact between paint and skin, and prevent harmful gases from directly entering the respiratory system. After painting, the painter should clean up the tools and residual materials in time, close the paint bucket and solvent bucket, wipe the paint silk, and dispose of industrial wastes such as waste cloth heads in time. Paint workers should avoid washing their hands with toxic solvents (such as dissolved Liu with high benzene content), do not eat at the construction site, wash their hands with soap before meals or after work, and change their work clothes. At the same time, enterprise management institutions, trade associations and occupational safety and health supervision institutions should strengthen occupational safety and health management in the industry and safeguard the health rights and interests of paint workers.
