Luckin Coffee employees' frequent handwashing caused a "bad hands" crisis, which has become a hot topic at the moment. Store employees are required to wash their hands frequently, resulting in rough, cracked, peeling and other problems on their hands. It is understood that employees must wash their hands every hour, wash their hands after touching their hair and aprons, rub their hands for at least 20 seconds, turn off the faucet through the paper towel, clean the rag 22 times, and touch the disinfectant 22 times. After closing, employees also use detergent to clean milk tanks, scissors, ice scoops, measuring cups, tea tongs, coffee machines, milk compartments, etc. Such frequent handwashing has led to the worrying condition of employees' hands, and some employees have left their jobs because of "bad hands".
In response to inspections and to reduce hand injuries, some Luckin store employees even pretend to wash their hands. It is understood that in one store, only one camera is pointed at the bar, and there is a baffle on the left side of the sink, so employees can pretend to wash their hands at an angle. In addition to pretending to wash their hands, there are employees who reduce the number of extra handwashing. However, due to strict monitoring and clear monitoring recordings, it is difficult to pretend to wash hands and reduce the number of hand washing. So can an employee's hand problems due to frequent hand washing be considered a work injury?Experts point out that the long-term use of hand sanitizer and sanitizer can cause hand allergies in sensitive people.
According to Article 72 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Occupational Diseases, production and business operation entities must provide employees with necessary and safe labor protection equipment. If employees encounter hand problems, they can recommend suitable labor protection supplies to Luckin and ask Luckin to provide labor protection supplies suitable for the job, including gloves, skin lotion, etc. Although Luckin currently has the largest number of stores in China, the problem caused by frequent handwashing by employees still attracts widespread attention. Luckin should pay attention to the working environment and health of employees, not only to ensure the hygiene of products, but also to protect the health of employees.
It is hoped that Luckin can pay attention to the working environment and physical health of employees, and provide better protection and care for employees.
