How to manage company masks?

China is an important mask production base in the world. Affected by the epidemic, the production capacity of masks surged. The specific protective use and emergency production of masks make its safety management particularly important, which was ignored by traditional enterprises before the outbreak. Dezhou is a representative cotton textile base in China, and it is also a big market for mask production, so it is of exemplary significance to take this as the research object. The epidemic quickly turned masks into just-needed products, and the market reaction and order digestion ability of the industry were tested. The safe production and management of masks has also become a hot spot in the industry.

At present, the problems existing in the safety management of mask production enterprises are mainly the poor safety of workshops and production equipment, irregular production operation and inadequate safety supervision department. The main reasons are that business owners lack experience in dealing with emergencies, low safety investment, insufficient standardization and popularization of safety production, and lack of skills training for employees' necessary safety production knowledge.

In addition, the weak function of grass-roots safety supervision is also an important aspect. It is necessary to clarify the necessity and effectiveness of safety management investment, scientifically organize employees to carry out safety management training, strengthen the construction of safety supervision departments, and help mask manufacturers improve their safety management level through the above measures.

First, the problems in safety management of mask manufacturing enterprises

1. There are potential safety hazards in the workshop and production equipment.

The epidemic situation has brought great pressure to the survival of enterprises, and some hidden dangers still exist. For example, outdated lines, irregular installation and overload are the main reasons for frequent safety accidents in mask manufacturers. Because the workshops of some small enterprises are in disrepair for a long time, the wires and circuits are chaotic, the production equipment is outdated, and the protective devices are not maintained, which makes the operators easily injured during the operation of the equipment, and the unscientific layout of the production equipment is also one of the reasons for the safety accidents.

2. The production operation is not standardized enough

The safety management of mask production enterprises is mainly based on continuous feeding and continuous production of multiple machines, and there is a lack of standardized operating procedures. Workers adopt shift system, and the handling of materials and finished products mainly depends on manpower. Most front-line workers run with machinery, especially affected by the epidemic, and employees work overtime, which is labor intensive. Overloaded labor leads to the decrease of employees' reaction ability and distraction. Skilled drivers are isolated due to the epidemic, and the number of available drivers is reduced. The existing drivers do not have enough rest, which is easy to induce safety accidents.

3. The safety supervision department is overwhelmed.

The epidemic situation has led to an increase in the use of alcohol and chlorine-containing disinfectants, which poses a risk of poisoning and fire. The epidemic situation led to an increase in the frequency of inspections, and even stipulated that safety supervisors should stay in the factory, but they could not cover everything, and they did not know enough about the mask production process standards, which made the security inspection subjective and it was difficult to find and rectify some problems in time.

For enterprises that find hidden dangers, even if they are urged to complete the rectification on time, there is a lack of follow-up inspection and continuous supervision of the rectification results. If the concept of enterprise safety management is weak and the problems are not taken seriously, great security risks will occur.
