Personal protective equipment in our country also called for labor protection articles, it is developed with humans engage in production activities and modern industry, especially the development of emerging industries, has now become the people to prevent accidents and reduce the harm of occupational disease essential activities.

Personal protective equipment industry in China after 50 years of development has become relatively complete categories, production, supply and marketing is relatively stable, product variety is quite rich, can basically meet the production needs of the industry and in reducing casualties and to protect the health of workers, the promotion of national economic development played an important role.

The status of individual protection seriously restricts the safe production

The safe production of our country although in general tends to stability of a turn for the better, but the situation is still grim, in the sustainable development of the national economy is still a weak link, and personal protective equipment has become a weak link in safety production.

First, since the middle of 1990s, the cost of the enterprise for the production of safe production, spending a lot of personal protective equipment. A considerable number of unit of choose and employ persons ignore national laws and regulations, not in accordance with the provisions of the requirements for dispensing door activities, some shoddy, some simply do not send, workers for fear of unemployment and dare not ask for, or due to ignorance of not knowing to ask for. One of the hardest hit is migrant workers and temporary workers, such as in the building decoration workers are exposed harmful gases but does not allocate the protective equipment, resulting in the deaths and poisoning accidents frequently occur, last year is in Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province. Later in Beijing and other cities have taken place in the similar accidents.

Second, according to statistics, in all kinds of casualties in the 15% and the individual protection equipment. Actual situation, I am afraid than the larger, because it reflects the comrades in some provinces and municipalities engaged in supervision and administration of production safety work, before the production safety accidents, never thought to be from the individual protective equipment and find out the reasons, some news media reports of casualties when also tend to the "accident" with a pen.

Third, the existence of unlicensed production and operation without a license. Many personal protective equipment production enterprise of fake and shoddy, shoddy, dumping and other serious acts to disrupt the market economic order, buried the hidden trouble of production safety accidents.

Fourth, the individual protection equipment standard aging, new equipment R & D atrophy, leading to low technology content, protection performance is not high, many products face old, update slowly, many years consistent system.

Fifth, the administrative law enforcement is not enough, management and supervision is not strict, supervision and law enforcement is not in place, going through the motions, "idling" phenomenon.

Sixth, due to various reasons, some people the concept of backward that personal protective equipment dispensable. "It's just that it is a work clothes", or as the benefits. This also leads to the individual protection equipment industry and other high-tech industries and the developed industry, compared to the input problem, the development of slow, in the community and the people in the eyes of the status is not high.

A safety belt can save a life.

Individual protection equipment is an important part of the work of safety production, it is not only the first line of safety production line, but also the last line of safety production. When technical measures also can not be eliminated in the production of the dangerous and harmful factors, not up to the national standards and the relevant provisions, or not to take technical measures, wear personal protective equipment becomes defense against external damage, to ensure the personal safety and health of the only means. Even if the technological measures to achieve the safety standards, should also be allotted the corresponding protective equipment, in preparing interim technical failure repair and escape in time of need. Some mine provisions of the advanced countries, in the technical measure to safety standards, business owners also sought the workers' opinions, when workers need to wear protective equipment, a boss must be to meet the workers' demands.

A large number of accidents show that: a safety belt or a safety helmet can be at a critical moment to save a person's life, a gas mask can make people not hurt, not occupational disease. Close to half of China's annual output of the mine, the annual death only 30 to 40 people, and China's death in considerably more than the number of the United States, one of the important reasons is the personal protective equipment advanced, deploy, use, management is very strict. If a can penetrate the stratum depth of 10 km of the communication system, underground workers to receive device worn on the head, Inoue can accurately judge a worker on the specific location, communications, production command. Once the accident happened, the underground workers live or die, where there is danger, Inoue will soon be able to master, quickly organized the rescue. Last year in the United States, Pennsylvania, the occurrence of coal mine, 9 people underground is the use of the system was quickly rescue up, no casualties.

Enterprise in the production of flammable and explosive equipment and workers in the inflammable and explosive places, as long as with qualified fire-retardant, anti-static equipment, strict according to operating procedures, the vast majority of the casualties is may avoid. Beijing Beijing coal group, a subsidiary of a civilian blasting equipment factory, because of the strong emphasis placed on the use of personal protective equipment and update. At the same time, taking a series of safety technical measures, 40 years there is no death 1, this is very not easy. Some of our country's shipwreck casualties, and personal life is closely related to the equipment.

People's awareness of protection and demand is expanding

Individual protective equipment is very important in the safety production of our country.
