Is riveting a special type of work?

Riveting is not a special type of work.

Special type of work refers to the general name of the post categories of personnel engaged in special operations, and refers to the types of work that are prone to casualties and have great harm to the safety of operators, others and surrounding facilities.

The scope of special type of work operators includes:

1. Electrician operations: including power generation, transmission, substation and distribution electricians, installation, operation, maintenance and testing of electrical equipment, and electrical fitter in mines;

2. Metal welding and cutting operations: including welders and cutters;

3. Lifting machinery operation: including crane driver, foreman, signal commander and installation and maintenance worker;

4. Motor vehicle driving in enterprises: including drivers who drive all kinds of motor vehicles in enterprises, docks, freight yards and other production and operation areas and construction sites;

5. Climbing erection work: including erection, demolition, maintenance and surface cleaning of high-rise buildings over 2 meters;

6. Boiler operation: including pressure boiler operators and boiler water quality laboratory personnel;

7. Pressure vessel operations: including pressure vessel canning workers, inspection workers, transport escorts and large air compressor operators;

8. Refrigeration operation: including refrigeration equipment installers, operators and maintenance workers;

9. Blasting operation. Including ground engineering blasting, underground blasting and so on.

To sum up, because special jobs have different risk factors, it is easy to damage the safety and health of operators, so necessary safety protection measures must be taken for special jobs, including technical measures, health care measures and organizational measures.
