The quality of labor protection products in China gradually improves the health of employees

According to rough estimates, the direct economic losses caused by occupational diseases and work-related accidents in China amount to 100 billion yuan each year, and the indirect economic losses are more than 200 billion yuan. Reduce the number of casualties and reduce the incidence of occupational hazards. In addition to establishing and improving various responsibility systems, increasing safety investment, improving operating environment and facilities, strengthening on-site management, and strengthening supervision and law enforcement, establish a sound and scientific labor protection product standard system. It is also an important measure to improve the quality of labor protection products and improve employees’ self-protection capabilities.

Focusing on establishing regulations to ensure product quality In 2005, the State Administration of Work Safety promulgated the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Labor Protective Products" in the form of the No. 1 General Bureau Order, which indicates that the supervision and management of labor protection supplies in China has entered a new history. At the time, its implementation has played an important role in doing a good job of labor protection and occupational safety and health of employees. Afterwards, the State Administration of Work Safety issued successively the supporting detailed implementation rules and a series of related documents of the “Regulations”, further clarifying the supervision ideas for labor protection articles and playing a strong role in promoting the implementation of the “Regulations”.

In order to improve the quality of labor protection articles and strengthen quality inspections, the State Administration of Work Safety supervises and administers labor protection product inspection and inspection agencies, and has successively reviewed and approved a number of labor protection product inspection and inspection agencies. These agencies carry out labor protection for safety supervision departments. Supplies supervision provides technical support.

Strengthen supervision and inspection and standardize market operations At present, there are more than 1,200 special labor protection products manufacturers in China that have achieved safety signs. The safety mark is a certificate for special labor protection articles to meet the safety protection performance of national standards, and is also a proof that qualified special labor protection articles enter the market. The implementation of the safety sign helps the user to identify the authenticity of labor protection articles when purchasing and personal use, which is conducive to the supervision and inspection of the safety supervision department and is conducive to standardizing the labor protection product market.

The State Administration of Work Safety successively organized two special inspections of labor protection products nationwide in 2005 and 2009. The key industries for special supervision are coal mines, metal and non-metal mines (including oil and gas exploration), chemicals, construction, metallurgy, and manufacturing and processing. Through special supervision, the production and business units standardize the management of the purchase, acceptance, custody, distribution, use, replacement, and retirement of labor protection supplies. The employer shall provide training and supervision over the correct wearing and use of labor protection products by employees.

Through special supervision, safety supervision departments have mastered the outstanding problems in the production, sales, and use of labor protection products, cooperated with quality supervision, industrial and commercial administrative departments to clean up and rectify unlicensed production enterprises, and resolutely cracked down on unscrupulous companies and traders suspected of counterfeiting and selling fake products. , gradually standardize the labor protection supplies market.

Giving play to the role of the Association to protect the development of the industry The role of the relevant professional associations is a major feature of the healthy development of the labor protection industry in China. The China Labor Safety Association Labor Protection Committee is the only national social organization specialized in individual protection in the labor protection industry in China. The professional committee has done a lot of work in perfecting organization building, carrying out academic exchanges and international exchanges, and organizing technical training. It has established head, fall protection teams, respiratory protection teams, protective clothing groups, and hand and foot protection groups. Labor protection product distribution team, inspection and inspection organization group 6 working groups.

In addition to the professional committee, there are other professional committees in China that involve labor protection, such as the China National Association of Textile Commerce Safety and Health Protective Products. The two-year labor protection products trade fair sponsored by the committee has held 84 sessions in April this year.

In the field of labor protection industry, there are many similar but differentiating associations, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the development of China's labor protection industry. At present, as the state increases the supervision of occupational safety and health, including work protection work, many enterprises that want to become bigger and stronger labor protection supplies are acquiring information and services from professional associations.

Through the establishment of regulations, establishment of standards, improvement of the standards system, and strengthening of supervision and inspection, the quality of labor protection products in our country has been gradually improved and the health of employees has been guarded.
