Recently, the reporter walked into the production area of Xinjiang Tianye Tianneng Chemical Company (hereinafter referred to as Tianneng Chemical Company) in Shihezi City, Xinjiang, where workers were doing cleaning work, wearing blue overalls and reflective vests.
Since 2013, the company has replaced the reflective strips on its tooling with eye-catching reflective vests, which make them more visible and safer for workers. He Jianwei, director of the safety management room of the chemical plant of Tianneng Chemical Company, said.
This is the epitome of Tianneng Chemical Company's continuous efforts to create a healthy production environment in recent years. In particular, in terms of employee physical examination, the company has set up "one factory, one file, one person, one file" to register the physical examination report, dynamically understand the health status of employees and prevent occupational diseases, so as to further implement the main responsibility for the prevention and control of occupational diseases.
One file for one person online and offline.
From the office area to the production area, labor protection equipment such as tooling, safety helmets, labor protection shoes, and emergency backpacks are indispensable. At the door of the production workshop, the safety warning signs, post notice boards, occupational hazard factors notice boards and other public notice boards clearly record the environmental information of the work area. The occupational hazard notice board also clearly records the real-time monitoring of occupational hazard factor detection results and protective measures, and the protective equipment is placed in the emergency backpack that you carry with you.
Depending on each employee's work area, we will put different protective equipment in the emergency backpack, including goggles, earplugs, protective gloves, dust masks, gas masks, etc. He Jianwei said.
In the company's chemical plant safety management office, four filing cabinets are filled with file bags, each of which is marked with the name and number of employees, which is the paper material for all employees' physical examinations since the factory was put into operation in 2010. In the computer of the office, electronic files such as employee physical examination reports, previous occupational health examination results and processing status are recorded.
Every employee must undergo a health examination before, during, and after leaving the post. We have two files for real-time tracking to find out whether employees are suffering from occupational diseases. For employees in special positions, more detailed special physical examinations will be arranged. He Jianwei said.
The reporter casually took out a file numbered "3007", thick, covering the entire kraft paper bag, which contained the physical examination report of an old employee.
There is a pile of physical examination reports on the cover of the "types and names of contact factors: noise, power frequency radiation", He Jianwei told reporters that this is the physical examination report of employees during their posts, and the company will arrange special physical examinations according to the occupational hazards exposed to by employees.
If it is found that the health of employees has been affected during the inspection, on the one hand, a re-inspection will be arranged to confirm that the position of the employee will be adjusted in time to reduce the exposure to hazardous factors, and on the other hand, the cause of the employee's exposure to occupational hazards will be found, and the root cause will be traced back to the source and completely solved. He Jianwei said.
Dynamic tracking to achieve source governance.
He Jianwei introduced that in 2022, 3 employees were found to have psoas muscle strain, hypertension and other diseases during the physical examination, and the company adjusted their positions in a timely manner.
Wang Lujun was originally a driver. In 2022, during the occupational physical examination, it was found that he had high blood pressure and was not suitable for driving the vehicle for a long time, so the company transferred him to the maintenance team to be responsible for forklift repair and maintenance.
We are a hazardous chemicals production unit, and we will conduct training before taking up our posts, and require employees to hold certificates to work. He Jianwei said that forklift drivers should obtain forklift driving qualification certificates, and the master will teach apprentices one-on-one for 3 months, and they can only work independently after passing the exam.
Even if it is a job transfer, we will organize pre-job training to let employees work with peace of mind. Wang Haihua, a staff member of the company's chemical plant safety management office, said, "Job transfer is only one aspect, and more important is to find the cause of occupational diseases." ”
Generator overhaul is one of the reasons. In the acetylene production process, the generator water injection system will be fouled and clogged after a long period of use, which will lead to unplanned maintenance of the generator. "During the overhaul, some fine dust from the generator can enter the production area. Yang Shengli, safety director of Tianneng Chemical Company, said.
Dust is one of the factors that cause occupational hazards. After observation, the workers found that the dust in the dry acetylene generator was because the water injection system was too simple, and the water outlet was easy to block after a long time. To this end, the workshop workers brainstormed and independently developed the cleaning and filtration device of the dry acetylene generator water injection system, which not only improved the efficiency of the water injection system, but also reduced dust and improved the working environment.
Everyone strives to be the "goalkeeper" of health
In order to further strengthen the construction of a healthy enterprise, in 2023, we will also focus on building a mental health room to facilitate emotional relief and health monitoring for employees. He Jianwei said.
Since the construction and operation, Tianneng Chemical Company has hired experts from the hospital of Shihezi Economic Development Zone to give lectures on occupational health knowledge to the plant every year, so that employees can understand the knowledge of occupational disease prevention and how to protect their health rights and interests. And equip employees with red armbands of "I am responsible for my safety" to mobilize their enthusiasm, exercise supervision responsibilities in a timely manner during the operation, and remind each other to wear protective equipment correctly and pay attention to protection.
Nowadays, the health protection awareness of employees has also been significantly improved.
If work is compared to a glass of water, and the employee was asked to pick it up and put it aside, he may not think too much about it, just pick it up and put it away. Now, workers think for two more minutes to see if the environment they are in is safe, how to carry out the work, whether there are safety risks in the process, what equipment and protective equipment need to be prepared, and the safe route of the work. Zhang Zicheng, director of the Party and Mass Office of Tianneng Chemical Company, said.
