How old must the personnel engaged in special operations be?

First, the definition and characteristics of special operations

Special operations refer to operations that have great harm to the safety of operators, others and surrounding facilities in the production process. These operations are usually highly dangerous, technical and professional, such as aerial work, electrical work and welding work. The safety management of special operations is directly related to the production safety of enterprises, so there are strict age requirements for personnel engaged in special operations.

Second, the rationality of the age requirement.

The age limit for personnel engaged in special operations is 18 years old, which is based on various considerations. First of all, the age of 18 is a sign of a person's psychological maturity. People of this age usually have a strong sense of self-discipline and responsibility, and can better abide by the safety operation rules. Secondly, from the physiological point of view, people aged 18 are basically mature and have the basic physical qualities needed for special operations. In addition, special operations often require a high level of professional skills and knowledge. 18 years old is an important period for people to receive education and training, which is conducive to training qualified special operations personnel.

Third, the implementation and supervision of the age requirement.

In order to ensure that the personnel engaged in special operations meet the age requirements, relevant departments should strengthen the qualification examination, supervision and management of special operations personnel. On the one hand, enterprises should strictly verify their age, education, health status and other information when recruiting special operations personnel to ensure compliance with regulations. On the other hand, the regulatory authorities should regularly review the qualifications of special operations personnel, and clean up and punish those who do not meet the requirements to ensure the safety and reliability of special operations.

To sum up:

Personnel engaged in special operations must be over 18 years old, which is based on the characteristics of special operations and the requirements for physical and mental quality of personnel. By strictly enforcing the age requirement and strengthening the qualification examination and supervision and management, the safety and reliability of special operations are ensured, and the production safety of enterprises and the safety of people's lives and property are guaranteed.
