As we approach the ambush, Shen City will also usher in the hottest season of the year. On July 2nd, the Liaoning Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health reminder that citizens must prevent heatstroke in hot weather, especially in high temperature and humidity environments. They should always pay attention to their physical condition. Once symptoms such as fever and dizziness are found, they should immediately stop working and take emergency measures.

High mortality rate from heat stroke

The diseases and deaths caused by heat stroke in China every year have increasingly become a public health issue of public concern. Improving the self-protection ability of the public and occupational groups is an important way to prevent and reduce the occurrence of heat stroke.

Transfer the patient to a cool and ventilated area.

Quickly cool down. If the patient is immersed in cold water in the bathtub, placed under a shower of cold water, sprayed with cold water for watering the flowers, wiped with cold water, and covered with a damp towel or ice bag on the head, armpits, and thigh roots. Wrap the patient in a sheet or clothing soaked in cold water and blow vigorously with a fan.

Properly handle involuntary seizures. To avoid patients hurting themselves. Do not put anything in the patient's mouth and do not attempt to feed the patient with water. If the patient experiences vomiting, turn the body over and lie on its side to ensure unobstructed respiratory tract and avoid aspiration.

In terms of heatstroke prevention and cooling measures. Firstly, designing the process flow reasonably, improving production equipment and operating methods are the fundamental measures to improve the working conditions of high-temperature operations. Production automation can keep workers away from heat sources and reduce labor intensity. Secondly, insulation is an important measure to prevent thermal radiation, such as water curtains, insulated water tanks, etc., with water having the best insulation effect. In addition, attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling. In high-temperature workshops with high heat and dispersed heat sources, relying solely on natural ventilation is not enough. It is necessary to use the air inlet and exhaust outlets to change air at least 30 to 50 times per hour to ensure timely removal of waste heat.

In terms of health care. Workers working at high temperatures should be promptly supplemented with salty beverages and nutrients. Generally, each person should provide 3 to 5 liters of water and about 20 grams of salt per day, and drink small amounts of water multiple times. The water temperature should not be higher than the ambient temperature of the workplace, preferably 8 to 12 degrees Celsius. In addition, energy, protein, vitamins, and calcium should also be supplemented.

In terms of personal protection. You can wear light colored and breathable work clothes, and pay attention to shading and rest when working outdoors; Special high-temperature workers, such as cleaning steel ladle and other types of work, must wear insulation masks and heat-resistant, flame-retardant, and ventilated clothing. For example, when spraying metal, they must wear insulation masks, aluminum film insulation clothing, etc. to prevent strong thermal radiation.
