Labor protection equipment refers to the protective gear provided by workers during the production process to prevent or reduce personal injury and occupational hazards. Proper use of labor protection equipment is an important measure to ensure the personal safety and health of employees. To this end, the following points should be noted:
1. Production and business units shall establish and improve management systems for labor protection equipment. We need to strengthen the management of the purchase, acceptance, storage, distribution, updating, and scrapping of labor protection equipment, and supervise and educate employees to wear and use them according to usage requirements.
2. The protective equipment provided must comply with standards or industry standards. Currency or other items shall not be used as a substitute for labor protection equipment, nor shall products that have exceeded their expiration date or are of poor quality be purchased or used, ensuring that protective equipment can perform its best in emergency situations.
3. When wearing and using labor protection equipment, the following situations should be prevented:
(1) Personnel engaged in high-altitude operations may fall if they fail to fasten their safety belts.
(2) Engaging in electrical work (or holding electric tools) without wearing insulated shoes may result in electric shock.

(4) Long hair is not tucked into the work cap, causing it to be mechanically entangled.
(5) Wearing gloves incorrectly. Some should be worn or not, causing burns, punctures, and other injuries to the hands. Some people wear gloves that should not have been worn, causing injuries to their hands and even their arms.
