"Biscuit safety helmet" has become a "sweet potato" on the construction site?

- A series of hidden dangers in safe production in the construction sector

Core Tip: Some time ago, activists reported that the “tower crane accidents frequently happened? The article has aroused strong reaction in the society. In this regard, some people in the industry pointed out that in the construction field, there are not many potential safety hazards during the construction period. For this reason, Rights Protection Wanli has conducted series of reports on potential safety hazards in the construction industry.

Like a helmet, it breaks once it breaks, and it breaks when it breaks. In the field of construction sites, some migrant workers jokingly wear helmets on their heads as a "biscuit helmet." At the same time, the top hat of the migrant worker is a "biscuit helmet," and there is a deeper meaning. In the local market, this kind of fall breaks, and the shoddy and shoddy safety helmet flies all over the place. The utilization rate exceeds half. It became a “sweet scent” for the safety of migrant workers at construction sites.

Market: The real estate "biscuit helmet" flooded

As we all know, the safety helmets on the heads of migrant workers working on construction sites are the ultimate guarantee for protecting the lives of migrant workers. If the safety helmets are of unqualified quality, it will bring great hidden dangers to the safe production of migrant workers who use helmets. The data shows that with the increase of high-rise buildings and high scaffolds, accidents caused by falling and objects hitting high places are becoming more and more noticeable. According to statistics, high-level crashes and object-strike accidents accounted for 56% of the total construction safety, which is an important cause of casualties among construction workers.

However, according to relevant statistics, according to incomplete statistics, the total number of people in our country that need to wear safety helmets has reached more than 80 million. As a consumable product, helmets use at least 50 million heads per year, but the national sampling rate is less than 80%, which means that no less than 10 million unqualified helmets flow in each year. In the hands of users.

In the labor insurance market in Chengdu, counterfeit and “biscuit helmets” are still not optimistic. From the 17th to the 18th, unannounced visits to People's North Road, Jianshe Road, and several wholesale labor-supply retail shops near the construction sites and five stone and lotus pond labor insurance supplies wholesale markets, and found that the helmets circulated on the market were divided by price. For three grades. Below 10 yuan, between 10 yuan and 20 yuan, 20 yuan or more. In the retail market, the lowest price of the helmet is 3 yuan and the highest price is 37 yuan.

Among them, the helmet with a size of less than 10 yuan will be seriously deformed when it is held in the hand by the hand. When the boss sees this, he says: "This kind of helmet can't be thrown and it's just like wearing it on the head." 10 to 20 yuan Some hard hats are forced on hard edges and corners. Anything over 20 yuan can stand the test no matter how hard it is tossed.

Whether it is a helmet less than 10 yuan or a helmet more than 10 yuan, it has been observed that there are four permanent items on the helmet, including the manufacturer's name, brand, model, year of manufacture, production certificate, and production license number. The logo, but the logo of the helmet within 10 yuan is obscure.

However, after careful observation, it was discovered that most of the helmets priced below RMB 10 in the market were produced in Sichuan. This phenomenon, the exchange with the boss, the other revealed that other provinces also have low-cost helmets, but the cost of transportation is higher than the province will not come.

Industry: Waste Plastics Create "Biscuit Hard Hats"

"Cheap safety helmets are made of plastic waste." The price difference of the helmets is different from that of an industry practitioner who is engaged in plastic processing.
According to its introduction, at present, most of China's large-scale production of helmets and helmets use ABS materials as raw materials for production. ABS material is an engineering plastic with good impact resistance properties. The price of this raw material is about 15,000 yuan per ton. However, the price of "back materials" for waste plastic processing is only 3,000 yuan per ton, and the price is only one-fifth that of regular ABS materials. Because the "back materials" production helmets are not plastic and rigid, they are also known as "garbage helmets" in the industry.

So what is the internal relationship between "garbage helmet" and garbage? According to the other party, the plastics recycling industry is the most critical process for cleaning waste plastics. It requires special cleaning equipment to clean impurities. Such equipment is very expensive. In order to save costs, some small businesses can only easily remove impurities from the raw materials by simple cleaning. The more impurities, the worse the plasticity and hardness of recycled plastic after recycling, so that the recycled raw materials are basically gone. The value of reuse. Garbage bags are sent into the machine to melt and then re-cooled to form, and then broken by the machine to become the so-called "return material."

In this regard, people in the industry think from product cost accounting. The price of 20 yuan or more can guarantee the quality of the helmet.

Secret: migrant workers at their own expense caused "biscuit helmet" selling

"Biscuit helmets" have a lot of hidden dangers. However, during the visits to the labor insurance products market, the "biscuit helmets" without security factors were found to have become the "main" products for sales of hard hats. Therefore, whether it is in the wholesale market or the retail store, the operators recommend the first 10 yuan or less of the helmet, then 10 to 20 yuan, and finally 20 yuan or more, at Renmin North Road and Jianshe Road. Several retail stores, within 10 yuan of "biscuit helmet" unexpectedly better than other price of safety helmets placed in the shops eye-catching.

Interchanging with the operators of some labor insurance products shops, the other party revealed that the buyers who bought products under 10 yuan accounted for the majority, and some of them bought between 10 and 20 yuan, and the share of over 30 yuan was rather small, and most of them were of other colors. helmet.

Then why are the quality of the hard hats of different colors different? During the process of inquiring, it was learned that wearing helmets of different colors on construction sites had different identities. White represented leaders, blue represented management personnel, yellow represented on-site construction personnel, and general outsiders wore red safety helmets.

With regard to the procurement of helmets on construction sites, construction workers have revealed even more amazing insider's stories. The safety protection supplies for construction sites are generally purchased by the project department. In order to save expenses, the project is only responsible for the safety helmets of procurement leaders and managers and the core personnel of the construction. Generally, the safety helmets of the foreign workers are purchased by the migrant workers themselves. In order to save costs, migrant workers are engaged in construction operations on the cheapest and least secure "biscuit helmet."
