The types of injuries that are likely to occur in the mold maintenance area are mechanical injuries, thermal injuries, chemical injuries, occupational hazards, and injuries caused by careless operation.
1, mechanical injuries: molds may have sharp edges, moving parts, or clamping devices, contact with which may result in cuts, punctures, or bruises.
2, thermal injuries: molds can generate high temperatures during use, and without proper protection, contact with hot surfaces can lead to burns.
3, chemical injuries: mold repair process may be used in corrosive substances, solvents or glues and other chemicals, if exposed to these chemicals and the lack of appropriate protective measures, may cause skin irritation, burns or poisoning.
4, occupational disease hazards: mold repair work may require a long time in a special working environment, such as noise, dust, harmful gases, etc., long-term exposure may lead to occupational diseases, such as hearing loss, respiratory diseases.
5, injuries caused by inadvertent operation: in the mold maintenance process, may be due to inadvertent operation or wrong operation and lead to mold damage, equipment failure or accidental injury.
Common Prevention and Control Methods
1, mechanical injury prevention and control: wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as helmets, gloves, safety shoes, etc., to protect the head, hands and feet. Pay attention to the posture and hand position during operation to avoid contact with sharp edges or moving parts. Ensure that the mold clamping device is reliable to avoid accidental release resulting in mold movement or pinching of hands. Ensure that the equipment is stopped and disconnected from the power supply before servicing.
2. Thermal injury prevention and control: Wear appropriate thermal protective equipment, such as thermal protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Avoid direct contact with hot surfaces and use appropriate tools or equipment for operation. Pay attention to the cooling time of the mold, avoid maintenance in the case of not yet cooled.
3, chemical injury prevention and control: wear appropriate protective equipment, including chemical protective gloves, protective glasses, protective mask. Maintain a well-ventilated working environment to avoid inhalation of harmful gases when using chemicals. Pay attention to the proper use and storage of chemicals to avoid improper mixing and use leading to danger. In the event of an accidental spill, immediately flush the injured area with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.
4. Prevention and control of occupational disease hazards: Maintain a good working environment and control the generation and spread of noise, dust and harmful gases. Equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment, such as anti-noise earplugs or ear muffs, dust masks. Conduct regular occupational health checkups to detect and treat occupational diseases in a timely manner.
5, inadvertent operation prevention and control: follow the correct operating procedures and familiarize yourself with the use and maintenance of equipment. Before carrying out maintenance, ensure that the equipment stops running and disconnect the power supply to avoid accidental opening or starting. Seek guidance and support from professional technicians when performing complex or dangerous operations.
