Where Have All The Masks You Removed?

In February 4th, Xinhua Daily Telecom WeChat issued the question "where did you throw away the mask?" The report.

In the memory of Liu Lei, monitor of transport team of the two environmental sanitation team in Xicheng District, Beijing, the leaders of the lunar new year will bring condolences to the companions who are on duty during the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, this year brings not only the condolence products to us, but also the heavier task: we should set up an abandoned masks to clear the commandos immediately.

With the increasingly serious epidemic situation, masks have become an important protective equipment for the general public to block the epidemic. Where are these disposable respirators used after they are used? Will it cause two pollution? Will the clearance process lead to the spread of the epidemic? Are protective measures for the clearance personnel in place? Will it be exposed to risks? Many people do not know.

The answer to these questions is that even sanitation workers specializing in garbage disposal do not know. Beijing Xicheng District sanitation team two transport class, daily responsible for clearing the area of domestic waste. They have no experience as a mask for treating medical waste.

When the leader asked who would like to join the demolition masks to clear the commandos, the 30 sanitation workers at the scene raised their hands.

"Monitor, let me go."

"Don't mention it. You're not just married... Monitor, let me come. "

"Monitor, my children are old, and their parents are in good health. Let me do it first."

The sudden heavy task, coupled with the enlisting voice of everyone, made Liu Lei, the monitor of transport class, have a big head. "Do not argue, I will!" He patted the board. Then, 8 colleagues and a total of 9 people were assembled to remove the masks and clear the commandos. In case of accident, the 9 staff members are tentatively assigned to 1 echelons for each of the 3 staff members, divided into 3 batches in a monthly unit, and the waste masks collected in Qing Yun are collected.

Minimize the two pollution risk of waste masks.

At 1 p.m. on January 28th, wearing protective caps, goggles, masks and gloves, put on uniforms, shoes covers, Liu Lei, Liu Zhen and Li Zhaosu, the 3 sanitation masters who were transported to the first echelon of the commanding team and set up a special waste mask truck.

When the first clearance was made in January 28th, only 8 street offices in Xicheng District collected more than 1000 abandoned masks. By February 2nd, the number of waste masks collected on that day has increased to more than 4000.

All the street offices in Xicheng District of Beijing have set up special locations to collect waste masks. They first came to the location of the outer street, and used the watering pot to spray the 84 disinfectant in proportion to spray it outside the garbage bin. Then, they opened the bucket and then spray it on the garbage bag with the mask. After that, the garbage bag was directly fastened, pulled out, sealed, and then sprayed again in the barrel. Finally, the box was moved to the transfer car, and then it was sprayed again on the transfer truck cover.

During the whole process, the waste masks were hardly exposed, and it was difficult to fall off the ground causing two pollution. After loading, the sanitation masters should spray their hands with disinfectant again before climbing into the cockpit, and drive to the next street to set up the waste masks.

Even if only a mixture of disinfectant is used to drag the home room to the ground, the pungent smell will choke people to cough. Sanitation workers are required to spray the disinfectant 4~5 times each time, and the smell can be imagined. "I didn't feel so flustered," Li Zhaosu told reporters. "We usually pull garbage. Compared with that flavor, the smell of disinfectant is much more pleasant."

These centralized waste masks will eventually be transported to the refuse transfer station for disinfection and destruction.

Minimize the risks faced by sanitation workers.

As early as the Spring Festival holiday, some netizens called on social media: they should store their own waste masks and sterilize them. Start with me as much as possible and lighten the workload of sanitation workers.

In many people's impression, sanitation workers' income is not high, and protection is difficult to do. The fact is not always true. Taking Beijing Xicheng District sanitation units as an example, the reporter learned that sanitation workers worked 8 hours a day, each dispensed two masks, and changed 1 every 4 hours. Similar to abandoned masks and other special posts, masks, goggles and other equipment are complete, disinfection before and after operation.

When the masked truck is returned to the unit after its daily operation, someone will put the disinfectant and alcohol in front of the door in advance. The car stopped at the door. Liu Lei and other three teachers got off and removed the protective equipment such as hats, masks, shoe covers and so on, and put them in special garbage bags for disinfection and packing.

After that, the three men gave each other their uniforms, spray them with disinfectant and alcohol respectively, then wash their hands, wash their faces, go to the bathhouse, take off their clothes, hang them in the special ultraviolet ray, then wash the clothes again, and finally bathe themselves.

To prevent the spread of risk, the three of them were not only ready to go home for two months in a row but also isolated from other colleagues in the team. The unit has set up a special dormitory for them in the parking lot under the bridge. In the morning, they used cell phones to read news and play games in their dormitories.

"We're all hiding." Liu Zhen told reporters, "even if you go to the toilet, you have to shout loudly," no one is there! " No one goes in again; if anyone comes back to the house, hey, hey.

"Don't worry about it, you must go!"

"To tell the truth, it's not without fear." Liu Lei told reporters frankly, "but don't worry about it, this is a must. Besides, I am a squad leader, a party member and a model worker in the district. I have to go first. "

Liu Leigan has been working for sanitation for 15 years, and the task of removing masks is the first time. He wants to go first, not only on his duty, but also for his brothers to find out a feasible plan so as to be foolproof.

"Hi! Well, it's okay. This is my body! " Liu Zhenbang was waist deep and repeatedly patted the chest with reporters.

Liu Zhen, who was born in 1976, said that he is now the lightest burden of his family: his children are 17 years old, and their parents are in their early 60 years. Compared with those who have just married and children are young, Liu Zhen said he should be the first batch. Every day he brushes the news about the epidemic with his cell phone, but says he is not worried at all. Don't be afraid! The country is slowly cured. "

Li Zhaosu grabbed it because "this work is glorious." How big is the risk? Li Zhaosu said he had no bottom. However, the unit provided them with various protective measures, timely and in place, so that he could feel at ease. "I remember what the leader said to us: strategically despised and tactically emphasized. Moreover, compared with those health care workers, our work is really nothing. "

Compared to the risks he faced, Li Zhaosu said he was more afraid of his family. Even Liu Zhen, who was careless, did not dare to tell the old mother at home that he had been on duty for a month in his mouth, but in fact he was doing this.

Liu Lei's regret is that his son's winter vacation has been extended, but he may not be able to return home for two months without accompanying him. On weekdays, their two families share a common interest in seeing the plane taking off and landing near the airport or watching the train passing by the railway track. "It's spectacular, just like at the seaside, especially in the heart." Now, because of the isolation from his family and colleagues, he can only live under the bridge of lizze. He wants to breathe freely. He can only get out of the garage when he is not in early morning, and run to the side of the road for a while.
