In recent years, mechanical accidents have become a growing concern in various production and processing units across our city. Many of these incidents involve employees who were injured while operating or repairing machinery without first shutting it down. As a result, limbs have been caught in the machines, leading to severe consequences such as amputation, loss of body parts, and significant physical and psychological trauma for the victims.
To prevent such tragedies from occurring, the local safety supervision department has issued a warning to both business owners and workers, emphasizing the importance of adhering to strict mechanical safety protocols.
**Stop Before You Operate**
A few years ago, an employee named Su Long was working at a quarry when he entered the front jaw of a crusher without turning it off. He was trying to clear mud from the material outlet when his head was caught in the pulley, resulting in a fatal injury. The incident highlighted a serious lack of safety measures, as the crusher lacked proper warning signs and its protective devices were incomplete.
Following the investigation, the safety authorities emphasized that all rotating and transmission parts of mechanical equipment must be equipped with protective guards. High-risk equipment like crushers should have clear warning signs, and companies must ensure that their staff receives adequate safety training. Employees must be fully informed about potential hazards and how to avoid them.
**Perfect Operational Procedures**
Another tragic case involved Pengmou, a team leader at an artificial leather company, who had his hand and head caught between two drums on the production line. The gap between the drums was just 4.2 cm, which proved deadly. The investigation revealed that the company had not installed visible warning signs, and their operational procedures were incomplete. Additionally, the safety education provided to employees was insufficient, leading to poor awareness of risks.
This case underscores the need for well-documented and regularly updated operational procedures. Moreover, regular safety training, including orientation for new employees and those returning to work after a break, is essential to maintaining a safe working environment.
**Hand Injuries: First Aid Matters**
According to industry experts, hands are the most commonly injured body part due to frequent contact with machinery. In the event of a hand injury, immediate first aid is crucial. For severe cases such as severed fingers or hands, the wound should be bandaged to stop bleeding and relieve pain. The injured area should be immobilized, and no disinfectant like alcohol should be used directly on the wound, as it can damage tissue. The severed parts should be placed in a sealed plastic bag, surrounded by ice, and taken to the hospital as quickly as possible.
**Operate Safely, Stay Alert**
It’s important to remember that even the safest machine can become dangerous if operated carelessly. Before starting any equipment, operators must be familiar with the safety regulations and wear appropriate clothing—ensuring that collars, cuffs, and hems are properly fastened. Protective gear such as work shoes and hats should be worn, and long hair must be kept inside the hat.
Before starting the machine, always double-check that all safety devices are in place and functioning correctly. During operation, never leave your post or rush through tasks. Avoid fatigue by taking regular breaks and never disable safety mechanisms to speed up the process. Always use the correct tools and never attempt to replace your hands with makeshift solutions.
After the machine is turned off, make sure to clean and dispose of any debris promptly.
