What measures have Zhejiang employers taken to protect workers' health under high temperature?

The high temperature in Zhejiang continues. In order to ensure that workers' health is not affected by hot weather during work, various employers in Zhejiang have taken many measures to protect workers' life and health, such as adjusting working hours, providing heatstroke prevention and cooling supplies free of charge, adopting mechanized operations, adjusting holidays and rest time, and so on.

It is understood that the Urban Management Bureau of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province has adjusted the working hours of sanitation workers in order to prevent heatstroke in high temperature weather and avoid sunny hours. In addition, in order to reduce the burden, the relevant departments adopt mechanization on a large scale, and most of the sanitation work is completed by large cleaning vehicles. Moreover, in order to facilitate workers to eat, the relevant departments have set up many rest stops in the street, and microwave ovens are provided in the rest stops.

In addition to this kind of public units, it provides workers with various protective measures against high temperature weather. Some private employers will also provide workers with heatstroke prevention and cooling supplies free of charge, use machinery to complete their work as much as possible, adjust their working hours and relax their rest time. For example, in a printing and dyeing company in Zhejiang, according to relevant workers, it is not necessary to wear a cotton-padded jacket even in winter, because the heat of the machine is very high, not to mention that in such a hot summer, the sweat of the beans keeps dripping when the workers work. According to the workers, in order to ensure the safety of workers, the person in charge of the factory allows workers to take turns to rest in front of the air cooler. The factory has been preparing mung bean soup for workers to reduce fever, and in addition, it has increased the rest time of workers.

In addition, the patrol trade union of power lines personally patrol to check whether the power lines are wrong. In normal weather, this kind of work is very tiring, and it takes about half a day to patrol a whole set. However, in such hot weather, the company also purchased a lot of drone equipment with artificial intelligence function, which can help inspection workers patrol. The heat and high temperature bring inconvenience to many workers, and troublesome work and high temperature weather are likely to be healthy in Weihai. Therefore, the broad masses of workers must pay attention to their health at work and not try to be brave.
