3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Umbrella Production

During umbrella production, workers may encounter hazards such as:

• Electrical hazards: As umbrella manufacturing factories use electrical equipment, workers are at risk of electric shock, posing danger to their life and health.
• Liquid hazards: During production, workers may be exposed to liquids such as oil, chemicals, ink, etc., which can irritate the skin, eyes, or respiratory system if inhaled.
• Mechanical hazards: Workers may face dangers from engines or other moving equipment during production, as these can cause serious accidents if not operated or maintained properly.
• Temperature hazards: Umbrella production requires high temperatures, so workers may be exposed to heat hazards, such as burns or explosions.
• Occupational accidents: Workers may experience accidents such as falls, collisions, cuts, punctures, or crushing when working with machinery and equipment in the umbrella factory.

4. Common Occupational Accidents for Workers in Umbrella Production

Common occupational accidents for workers in umbrella production include:

• Falling objects: During production, there may be situations where objects, tools, or materials fall from heights and hit workers.

5. Safety Measures in Umbrella Production

Safety measures for participating in umbrella production include:

• Use of protective equipment: Workers must wear protective gear such as helmets, safety glasses, cut-resistant sleeves, safety shoes, masks, and gloves to protect themselves from harmful effects in the workplace.
• Training and safety education: Employees must be trained on occupational safety and work procedures to ensure they understand and correctly apply safety rules during umbrella production.
• Use of safe machinery and equipment: Machines and equipment must be regularly maintained to ensure worker safety. Safety devices such as sensors, automatic shut-off switches, metal detectors, and warning lights should also be used during production.
