Summer decoration, such as sauna decoration, workers have a coup in summer vacation.

Working outdoors or in a high temperature environment in summer, you should not only endure extreme heat, but also beware of the danger of heatstroke.

In the past few days, the high temperature of more than 30 degrees has made Xichang citizens feel the heat of summer. Air conditioners and fans may not be felt in the office, but for decoration workers, there is no such good welfare. Every day, I braved the high temperature to decorate in the rough room, and the working environment was very difficult, which also had a great impact on my health.

So, what kind of environment do decoration workers work in summer? Can you get heatstroke after working for a long time in a high temperature environment? How does the decorator escape the heat? With questions, the reporter interviewed the staff who are working at high temperature.

Decoration worker: Free sauna every day.

At noon on June 3, the outdoor temperature in Xichang has reached 38 degrees Celsius. In a restaurant under renovation on Cheng Chundong Road, the sound of metal cutting, chainsaw, electric drill and welding came from time to time, and four or five decoration masters were busy. One of the sweaty masters is standing on the herringbone ladder with a portable electric hammer to punch holes. The dust spilled from the hole has already mixed with the sweat on his face, and the true colors of the decorator can't be seen from the dirt on his face.

It is understood that this master surnamed Lei is a plumber. Master Lei has been doing decoration business in Xichang for more than ten years. He said, "Every summer is the hardest time in our business. Working in summer is like a sauna. I hardly sweat when I work. I feel greasy when I meet dust. When I finish my work, there will be a hard layer of' cement' on my body and clothes. "

The decoration site is not very ventilated, and with all kinds of running equipment, it is very stuffy. For decoration workers, summer decoration is prone to heatstroke, but most workers will choose to continue working in the heat.

Master A Mu, who is laying a wooden floor, said, "When decorating in summer, many people suffer from heatstroke, but there is no way. We can rest at home for two days at most and go back to the construction site to continue our work. One is that money is calculated by piece, and the more you work, the more you get. If you don't do a day's work, you will lose hundreds of dollars and get sick at home, which will also affect the progress of the whole construction team. So even if you are tired, you will choose to stick to it. " The description of Master Lei and Master Lei can be said to be a typical portrayal of decoration workers.

Big kettle, summer tea, Huoxiang Zhengqi water …

They have a clever plan for the summer vacation.

Due to the continuous high temperature, summer is regarded as an "accident-prone season" by many decoration workers in the decoration industry, and workers get sick from time to time due to heatstroke, but several experienced decoration masters have many ways to deal with heatstroke.

There are several large kettles in a corner of the decoration site, all of which have a capacity of about two liters. They are different styles of insulation kettles. Every once in a while, the masters will pick up the kettle and have a big drink. Master Gong, who is in his fifties, said, "It's hot and sweaty. The best way to prevent heatstroke is to replenish more water, so everyone will pour a pot of hot tea when they go out. This big pot of summer tea is our secret weapon to deal with heatstroke. " Pick it up and have a look. The masters' summer tea is actually herbal tea such as chrysanthemum and honeysuckle.

Drink hot tea to cool off on a hot day? Facing the reporter's question, Master Gong said, "You don't understand this! Although drinking ice water can make people feel instantly cool, it is easy to cause capillary contraction, which is not conducive to heat dissipation, can not really quench their thirst, and can not achieve better summer-heat effect. Although drinking hot water will feel a little hot at first, after hot water enters the human body, it will cause blood vessels to dilate, promote perspiration, bring out the heat in the body and lower the body temperature. This is also the reason why we drink hot summer tea on a hot day to cool off. "

Master Gong's words are very enlightening. In the face of hot weather, I always want a cold drink at the first time. It seems that experienced decorators know more about heatstroke prevention.

Master Lei said: "In fact, these are the benefits of the company. The company also stipulates that the summer rest time is from noon 12 to 3 pm, and the start-up time is appropriately advanced or postponed. We also distributed summer products such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill. " It is understood that these decoration masters belong to the same decoration company. In addition to commuting at peak hours and distributing summer supplies, their company leaders will also organize people to send boiled water to workers.

In the interview, the reporter found that the distribution of summer products such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Summer Tea has become the most common summer resort in Xichang decoration industry.

They still have something to say about how to prevent heatstroke.

Speaking of heatstroke prevention, the masters also gave many suggestions: for those who work in high temperature environment, they must pay attention to proper rest when working in temperature environment above 35 degrees, reduce labor intensity, drink more water, and it is best to drink some light salt water in the morning to supplement the salt lost by sweating at high temperature, find a cool place to escape the heat, and don't work at noon when the sun is strongest to avoid high temperature.

The diet should not be too light. In summer, people have long activities, sweat a lot and consume a lot, so they should eat more nutritious foods such as chicken, duck, lean meat and fish to meet the metabolic needs of the human body.

Eat more fruits for heatstroke prevention and cooling, and you can eat more watermelons and cantaloupes.

Replenish water in time, but drink less drinks. Juice, cola, sprite, soda and other drinks contain more saccharin and electrolyte. Drinking too much will cause bad stimulation to the gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion and appetite. So drink more boiled water or light salt (sugar) boiled water in summer. You can drink more mung bean porridge and chrysanthemum tea that can prevent heatstroke.

It is not advisable to binge drink after thirst. After sweating a lot in labor and exercise, it is not advisable to drink boiled water in large quantities, and some light salt (sugar) water should be supplemented appropriately, because too much salt is lost in the body after sweating a lot. If salt is not supplemented in time, the ratio of water to salt in the body will be seriously unbalanced, leading to metabolic disorder.

Avoid "rapid cooling" after heating. In hot summer, when people go out or come back from work, they either like to turn on the electric fan or take a cold bath immediately, which will make the pores of the whole body close quickly, but the heat in the body is difficult to dissipate, and it will also cause insufficient blood supply to the brain due to the rapid contraction of blood vessels in the brain, which makes people dizzy.
