[Comprehensive] Yantai disease control reminds: Do not ignore personal protection in summer

Many workers and friends have experience and actively use dust-proof masks and respirator masks in the cool spring and autumn weather. However, in hot summer days, many people will feel bored and too hot to wear it. The Yantai Center for Disease Control and Prevention prompts all workers and friends to wear personal protective equipment such as dust masks and gas masks as an effective method to prevent occupational diseases and to protect the health. It is necessary to properly use personal protective equipment when the weather is hot. .

For dust masks, in the hot summer season, gauze masks should not be used instead. Dust masks are special labor protection products that can effectively prevent dust of 5 microns or less and have stronger filtering performance than regular gauze masks.

For gas masks or respirator masks can not be ignored. In the summer, although the windows are opened and the ventilation of the fans is convenient, due to the increase of temperature, many organic solvents containing benzene, toluene, and n-hexane are more volatile than other seasons and are more easily absorbed by the human body. Therefore, we must pay more attention to the wearing of gas masks or gas masks.

Do not ignore the protection of bare skin. In the hot summer season, people who are engaged in welding operations should pay attention to wearing long-sleeved clothes and trousers to avoid exposure to UV rays on exposed skin. Some personnel engaged in dust operations may have allergic skin with dust and may be allergic to dust.

In summer, wearing personal protective equipment will inevitably cause people to feel uncomfortable and feel uncomfortable. Therefore, measures should be taken to prevent heatstroke, such as taking a break from the working environment, drinking green bean soup, cooling tea, salty soft drinks, popsicles, etc. Conditions can use air conditioning, fans for cooling off.
