Strictly manage the safety protection work of printed film coating operations

The film laminating operation is to bond the plastic film and the paper print after the adhesive coating are heated and pressed together to form a paper-plastic product. It is one of the common post-printing processing technologies for paper-based prints. After the film-covered printed matter, the surface is smoother and brighter, which not only improves the glossiness and fastness of the printed matter, but also prolongs the service life of the printed matter. At the same time, the plastic film is also waterproof, antifouling, wear-resistant, folding-resistant, chemical-resistant, etc. Protection is therefore very extensive. Due to the relatively simple operation process and low investment costs, a considerable portion of manual workshops or small businesses engage in such operations. Most of these handicraft workshops or small businesses have not been registered with industry and commerce and have not been incorporated into an effective government supervision system. Basically, no effective protective facilities have been adopted in production. The adhesives used are mostly produced by informal enterprises, and harmful factors such as benzene. The content exceeds the national health standard several times, even dozens of times, often lead to poisoning accidents.
In view of the serious health hazard posed by benzene, the relevant units and practitioners of film packaging operations of Tiexing, a labor insurance product packaging material wholesaler, must do the following:

1. Use the DIN-free adhesives produced by regular manufacturers that meet the national standards. When purchasing adhesives, suppliers should be required to provide Chinese manuals. The specification should indicate the product characteristics, main components, harmful factors, and possible consequences. Safety precautions and occupational disease protection and treatment measures;

2. Install occupational hazard protection facilities on production facilities and adopt effective local suction devices to reduce the concentration of harmful substances in the workplace to meet the national health standards;

3. Because benzene is highly volatile, it volatilizes strongly in summer. In the winter, due to cold closing doors and windows, it will cause harmful gases to stay in the room. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the ventilation of the whole room;

4, do a good job of personal protection of employees, wearing effective gas masks and other personal protective equipment;

5. All personnel who come into contact with the adhesive must undergo occupational disease prevention and control knowledge training and occupational health examination, and prohibit laborers who are not suitable for exposure to benzene to engage in related operations;

6, laborers in the course of laminating operations, such as symptoms of discomfort should go to the hospital as soon as possible, it is best to go to hospital with occupational disease diagnosis qualifications;

7. The employing unit shall abide by the relevant provisions of the Occupational Disease Prevention Law. Laborers shall also learn relevant occupational health knowledge, comply with occupational disease prevention laws, regulations, rules, and operating procedures, and properly use and maintain occupational disease prevention equipment and occupational diseases for personal use. For labor protection supplies, occupational hazards and hidden accidents should be reported to the health administrative department in a timely manner.
