Dongguan'S Hot Three Thousand Shoe Enterprises Face Heatstroke Risks

This summer weekend is the hottest weekend in Dongguan this year. The yellow alert, which has been suspended for 3 days, has been upgraded to orange alert on 26.

The relevant health authorities in Dongguan said that more than 6000 enterprises in Dongguan had declared occupational hazards projects, of which more than half had occupational heatstroke hazards due to heatstroke prevention facilities and inadequate management. In September last year, the high temperature allowance standard set by the Guangdong labor and social security department was still a dead letter.

As for the market, the refrigeration products are also increasing with high temperature. It is understood that the air conditioning sales volume increased by 5 times in late July.

Hospital: Outpatient patients increase by 30% with colds and gastrointestinal diseases. Recently, the Dongguan Municipal Center for Disease Control and prevention issued a summer Prevention Guide to remind the public to strengthen the awareness of heatstroke prevention, especially in factories and workshops and outdoor workers.

In recent days, the number of outpatients in some hospitals in Dongguan has increased by nearly 3.

Yesterday, reporters learned from Hong Wah, Donghua and other large hospitals in Dongguan that they had not received heatstroke patients yet, but the number of outpatients increased considerably, and patients showed symptoms of colds, stomach diseases and so on.

According to the Donghua hospital outpatient department responsible for the introduction of doctors, outpatient patients increased by nearly 3, of which the number of children in pediatrics and internal medicine increased, especially for children who are prone to colds and fever, and adults are also prone to diarrhea.

Hong Wah, director of the emergency department of the Hong Wah hospital, said he had not received any heatstroke patients so far.

He suggested: "people who have just come to Dongguan from the northern provinces should pay more attention to drinking water, and do well in summer prevention measures as soon as possible.

As far as possible to reduce the heat to go out activities, according to the Dongguan City CDC experts, walking from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the hot sun, the risk of heatstroke is 10 times that of normal. Especially for the elderly, pregnant women and people with cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary to reduce the heat to go out as much as possible.

At the same time, do not wait for thirst before drinking water. It is best to drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day according to the temperature.

Enterprises: high temperature subsidies have been calling for a year. In September of last year, the six departments of the Guangdong labor and social security department jointly issued the notice on announcing the Guangdong high temperature subsidy standard (hereinafter referred to as the "notice"), which stipulates that outdoor workers and high temperature workers can enjoy 150 yuan per person per month.

In September 11th last year, the relevant director of Dongguan Labor Bureau said in an interview with the media, "after receipt of the notification, the implementation plan will be drafted according to the procedures to implement as soon as possible".

However, yesterday, reporters learned that nearly a year ago, how to implement is still under study, high temperature allowance has become empty talk.

Basically, no one really got the high temperature allowance. Reporters learned from the relevant health departments in Dongguan that more than 6000 enterprises in Dongguan have declared occupational hazards projects. Over half of them have occupational heatstroke hazards due to heatstroke prevention facilities and inadequate management. The hot work casting workshop, injection molding workshop of plastic processing plants, molding lines of shoe factories, construction workers, sanitation workers and other outdoor work have become the high incidence areas of occupational heatstroke.

Guangdong province labor and social security department labor and wages department responsible person believes that the Guangdong Province issued the "notice" is a mandatory way.

But in recent days, reporters in a survey of a number of enterprises and workers found that although most of the recent high temperatures and working conditions were not satisfactory, no one really got the high temperature allowance.

In a garment factory in Shijie Town, Xiao Ho, a new Dong man from Jiangxi, said, "it's good to get paid on time. Where do I want high temperature allowance?"

Dongguan has been in a tense situation since the beginning of this year. How to better protect the rights and interests of labourers and let new Wan people feel at ease is a matter of great importance.

Then, last year, we said that we should draft the implementation plan to implement it as soon as possible. How is the implementation plan implemented now?

Yesterday, reporters learned that, in fact, since last September, Dongguan Labor Bureau has not yet studied the drafting of the implementation plan, so the labor department has never inspecting the payment of the high temperature allowance.

There is no specific operation plan for the document in the provincial government. It is only said that the high temperature allowance should be issued, but there are no clear opinions on which enterprises and who are to be issued. The advice of the notice is very difficult to implement.

Dongguan City Labor Bureau, a staff member said.

Lawyer: high temperature subsidies are difficult to implement. For the labor bureau's practice, Jason, director of the law firm of Guangdong, said, "this may be a real frustration. The high temperature allowance is very difficult to implement from the current legal environment and enterprise conditions."

Mr. Johnson said that the supervision of the labor department is not mandatory. The implementation of the notice should be somewhat difficult. If the enterprise fails to execute, there should be no basis for punishment. The labor department has no power to supervise and enforce the law, and it is difficult for the grass-roots labor supervision to be implemented.

"Moreover, the number of enterprises in Dongguan is too large, and the number of small workshops is as high as 100 thousand. The manpower of the labor department is limited, and various kinds of labour problems are frequent. It is difficult to consider the issue of the high temperature allowance."

Jason said.

Shopping mall: the peak of refrigerating merchandise sales is coming. Just after the heat stroke, Dongguan has ushered in the hottest weather this year.

What keeps up with the temperature is sales of refrigerated goods.

It is understood that from the second half of this month, sales of air conditioners, fans, refrigerators and freezers have risen sharply.

At noon yesterday, reporters saw in Dongguan fashion electric city. Most of the people present were going to buy air-conditioning.

The stores also launched a number of special priced machines priced at 900~1200 yuan.

According to Liu Yuhong, director of the shopping mall, the sales volume of air conditioners has increased by 5 times since the end of this month, and the 10 thousand special machines sold in stores have almost been sold out.

The fan sells 3000 units a week. It is reported that other refrigeration products such as fans, refrigerators and freezers are selling well besides air conditioners.

A person in charge of the shopping mall said that fan sales reached 3000 units in the first half of this month.

Consumers do not choose the cheapest as ever. Consumers who buy fans this year pay more attention to product quality, workmanship, appearance and so on.

In the fashion store, consumers prefer the tower fans, air conditioning fans, floor fans and so on.
