Hard hats can hardly guarantee "safety"!

In rain and fog weather, construction sites are more prone to safety accidents. Recently, workers at some construction sites in urban areas reported to the newspaper that the helmets they wear are thin and light. Where can they afford bricks and stones? They are deeply concerned about the quality of helmets on their heads. On February 14, the newspaper sent a multi-channel reporter to investigate some of the sites.

Construction workers: wearing a "transparent hat" is not practical

At 10:30 a.m. that day, in a construction site along Yanjiang Road in Chengzhong District, a warning sign called “We must wear a helmet” was posted on the wall next to the construction guard's office. Several female workers were wearing hard hats to carry construction materials. . The reporter asked these women workers about the arrival and price of their helmets on the grounds of purchasing helmets. A female worker said that helmets are purchased by site management personnel in a unified manner, with different styles, thicknesses, and prices. "My head is thinner and I have 3 more money!" she said.
If the small stone upstairs falls, can you stand it? The female worker said: "Surely it is impossible to live! Some workers still put in some cotton wool in the helmet, hoping that they could get a little more effort when the accident occurs." The reporter then picked up the helmet on her head and felt very light. And there are some "transparency."
At a construction site on Goosean Road in the Liunan District, a worker surnamed Zhu displayed two different hats, one of which was white and the other was orange. The reporter took these two helmets better than the white ones were thicker and the orange ones were lighter. Workers said that the white is more than ten yuan and the orange is thirty-five yuan.
The orange helmet is easy to damage. One of the coworkers fell and broke the helmet. For this reason, the construction unit had to repurchase a batch of white safety helmets. "With a white helmet, I feel more attentive when I work!" said Mr. Zhu.
When the reporter visited the construction site, many construction workers stated that the bloody accident made them even more eager to wear a truly safe “safety helmet”.
Yesterday at 3 pm, the reporter took the earth approach to test the hard hat he got back from the construction site: only one foot stepped on it, and the helmet was instantly smashed.

Unannounced visits to strange images: all are hardhat foreman engaged in special

On some construction sites, workers revealed strange images of wearing helmets: Construction workers and foremen (project managers) wear different hard hats, and the relatives of the workers are more solid. Mr Jiang, who came to Liugong from other places, is currently working on a construction site on Binjiang East Road in the Chengzhong District.
He said workers are very dissatisfied with the problem of different standards and specifications of hard hats on the construction site. "These helmets are all purchased by the foreman. There is no room for workers to choose. The foremen wear well and the workers wear poor ones.
With a helmet, why are workers different from the foreman? A worker who asked not to be named gave the reporter an account: They had hundreds of workers on the site and only a dozen foremen. If you can save 5 yuan per helmet, the foremen can save more than 500 yuan.

Labor Insurance Store: Small Hard Hat Quality Two Days

Subsequently, the reporter interviewed a number of labor insurance product stores in the city and learned that there are as many as twenty or thirty different types of helmets, and the prices of different materials are also different. The cheapest is only a few yuan and the most expensive one is more than 50 yuan. . The reporter carefully observed that most of the helmets without manufacturer, production date, and quality certification actually had LA signs (safety signs for special labor protection articles).
“How much is this helmet?” the reporter asked the operator of the Department of Labor Protection and Wholesale of Liu Yan Road, Liunan District. "3.5 yuan!" The owner answered. This top 3.5 yuan helmet, with a press on the deformation, how to protect the safety of construction workers? The owner of the shop said that for a few dollars, what good things can he buy? These helmets are used on a single site. They are inspected by departments, and they are worn to fit them. It is not necessary to use them too well.
The shop owner then handed the reporter a red safety helmet and said: “The top material is fiberglass, selling 38 yuan.” The owner said that most of these fiberglass hats were sold to bosses, managers and foremen, and almost no one bought them. General workers.
The reporter bought a hard hat with no certificate of 3.5 yuan, and asked to see if there was a product certification issued by the relevant department. The shopkeeper said that the certificate did not exist. It is understood that according to the national standards for hard hats, a qualified safety helmet shall have four permanent marks: manufacturer's name, trademark, model, year and month of manufacture, production certificate and verification, and production license number.
According to unannounced visits, these helmets without any security certificates and logos are generally low in price.
According to a labor insurance product operator, the safety factor of the hat is not mentioned at all.
Indeed, as the operator said, the reporter did a small test on the top hat he bought for $3.5: let it fall naturally from a height of 3 meters, and cracks appeared in the brim. Wearing such a hard hat, it's no wonder workers are frightened.
With less bricks down a wall and wearing an unsafe "safety helmet", there will be more hidden dangers on the head. During the interview, the workers expressed a strong desire: It is recommended that the relevant departments strengthen supervision and remove the unqualified “three nothing” safety helmets from the market!
