According to the accident statistics of the Ministry of Industry, the number of mechanical injury accidents and the number of serious injuries both rank first among all types of accidents in the chemical system. Mechanical injury accidents mostly occur in production and processing, mechanical operation and other aspects. Therefore, strengthening management, doing a good job in safety education, improving employees' safety awareness, paying attention to improving working conditions, and improving the level of mechanization and automation in the production process are important ways to eliminate or reduce the occurrence of casualties.
Mechanical injury: mainly refers to injuries caused by clamping, collision, shearing, entanglement, twisting, grinding, cutting, stabbing, etc. caused by direct contact between the moving (stationary) parts, tools, and workpieces of mechanical equipment and the human body. The exposed transmission parts (such as gears, shafts, tracks, etc.) and reciprocating parts of various rotating machinery may cause mechanical injuries to the human body.
Dangerous factors of general mechanical equipment.
The dangers of mechanical equipment are mainly the moving parts of the equipment, such as transmission mechanisms and tools, moving workpieces and chips. If the equipment is defective, the protective device fails or the operation is improper, personal injury accidents may occur at any time.
