Why does a safety helmet cause safety anxiety for all?

Not long ago, a network video about unsafe helmets caused widespread concern about the insecure safety of helmets. It is said that there is a thunder in the silent place, and a hard hat that is usually inconspicuous but broken when it is shot, why caused the National Emergency Management Department to make a question, CCTV continued to follow the report.

The fundamental reason is that the helmet is the safety protection measure for our industrial workers, and it is also one of the widely used production safety protection measures. The basic production and personal safety of millions of industrial workers depend on it. Small helmets are a major responsibility for economic development, safe production, family happiness, and social stability. The state also mandates that workers must wear safety helmets and other safety protection measures in the form of laws and regulations. Therefore, as a must-have item, the helmet must have a huge market demand, and it will inevitably lead to bad business. It is not surprising that unqualified products appear. Of course, the reason why bad products can survive in the market is unreasonable low prices. The quality of the safety helmet reported by CCTV has been sold well. It is really a farce for us to expel a good coin to drive out good money. This behind the farce is the neglect of the safety of the vast number of industrial workers. The conscience retreats behind the scenes. The evil is not profitable.

Under this circumstance, a video can cause heated discussion in the country, which is the reflection of the long-term collective anxiety of the people on whether the helmet is safe. The safety of the helmet is to hope that the ethical level of the bad business will be improved. If you repent, you still have a long-term solution. It is hoped that the bad business will repent, and it is undoubtedly the wish of the fish, the idea of ​​fishing in the water, in the huge economy. Driven by the interests, how can we eliminate the impulse to stand up to the test? Just as the cell cancer of the human body has never stopped, it is our body's immunity has been destroying them. For the unqualified helmets on the market, the elimination of once and for all is not The best option to improve the immunity of all aspects of society may be our effective response.

So how to improve immunity? The author believes that it should be upgraded from the supervision, market and user trinity.

First, the long-term maintenance of high-pressure supervision provides a strong direction for the market to warn and regulate bad merchants and implement the final legal and fair ruling function.

Second, the production of branded helmets should actively respond to market demand, driven by economic laws, emphasizing standards and quality, and injecting more qualified products into the market. And to have the determination not to be afraid of hardship, to compete with the three products, to successfully expel bad money.

Third, consumers (users) also need to establish a rational attitude between the price of helmets and personal safety, and make long-term value judgments between short-term interests and security. Choose to wear a qualified helmet to truly protect users. In this regard, users need to have a certain knowledge of helmet identification to purchase reliable helmet products.

When buying a helmet, first look at the appearance of the helmet. According to the requirements of the national standard GB2811-2007, on the helmet shell, usually the inside of the brim, there should be a permanent marking, including the standard number of the helmet, injection date, material description, protection function, brand identification and other information. At the same time, the product certificate will be affixed inside the cap, and the manufacturer's information and precautions for wearing will be indicated on the certificate. As shown below

Secondly, it is necessary to observe the details of the parts of the helmet such as the cap liner, the top strap, the cap clip and the like. Industrial safety helmets are safely oriented against puncture, impact, and smashing. They are structurally different from other helmets such as riding caps and baseball caps. They have a unique cap lining design and the cap lining is suspended in the helmet. Inside, there should be a scientific spatial distance between the top band and the cap shell, thereby realizing the decomposition of the head stress and achieving the head protection. Therefore, the quality of the helmet cap liner, the elongation of the top strap and the tensile strength are important factors in determining the safety of the helmet and need to be considered. In addition, the helmet cap is also an important accessory for the shock absorber to absorb energy and shock. At the time of purchase, it is necessary to observe the thickness of the bend of the cap clip. The thickness of the cap clip is not as thick as possible. This is because when the cap is subjected to gravity impact, the bend will be preferentially broken to achieve a shock absorption effect. If the thickness is too thick, it cannot be broken, but it cannot achieve the shock absorption effect, and there is a safety hazard. These nuances are difficult to observe from the surface with the naked eye, and the helmets that look the same on the surface have a very poor protection effect.

Therefore, when purchasing a helmet cap, we recommend choosing a helmet made by a well-known brand or a regular manufacturer. The price is relatively high, but because of the very large part of the cost for product design and process management, these technical processes just guarantee safety. The safety of the caps is something that consumers can't see but is critical to quality.

In summary, only the comprehensive improvement of the systemic immunity of the “regulatory, market, and user” trinity can fundamentally improve the inflow and use of bad products. This is not a one-step process, but with the continuous efforts and The continuous improvement of safety and attention is believed to bring positive feedback to the market, and practically let the small helmets have a great sense of security and eliminate such national security anxiety.
