What Safety Regulations Apply to a Guangdong Vacuum Flask Factory in Operation for Over 20 Years? Part Six

Every cup carries a story, and life has warmth. Hello everyone, welcome to "Dong Dong's Cup Talk". As our factory’s business continues to expand, we have increasingly cooperated with major brands from various countries and regions for factory audits this year. https://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10528.htmlWe have found that safety standards are the most critical part of all audit items. Requirements for human rights and other audit items vary by brand and region. Today, we share our factory’s safety standards with you, hoping they are helpful. We also wish to give you a more comprehensive understanding of our factory through this sharing.

Safety standards differ according to job types, production nature, materials, and working environments. We have tried to elaborate in detail; given the large volume of content, we will share it in multiple episodes. https://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10528.htmlBased on our factory’s scale, headcount, and different production workshops, we will introduce our safety regulations in detail from five dimensions: general management, workshop-specific rules, key control, emergency support, and compliance cooperation.

2.2 Safety Regulations for the Injection Molding Workshop

The injection molding workshop is responsible for the injection molding production of plastic water cups, equipped with 50 injection molding machines. https://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10528.htmlKey safety controls focus on high temperature, high pressure, plastic fumes, and equipment operation safety, strictly complying with international safety standards for plastic production.

During operation, the barrel temperature can exceed 200°C. Prominent “CAUTION: HIGH TEMPERATURE” warning signs are posted throughout the workshop. https://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10528.htmlOperators must wear heat-resistant gloves and safety goggles. Direct hand contact with barrels, nozzles, and high-temperature plastic products is strictly prohibited to prevent scalding accidents.

All injection molding machines are equipped with safety guards, emergency stop buttons, and earth-leakage protection devices. Equipment may only be started when safety guards are closed; operation with guards open is strictly forbidden.

During machine adjustment and maintenance, power and material supply must be cut off, warning signs displayed, and dedicated personnel assigned for supervision. https://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10528.htmlStandard operating procedures must be strictly followed to prevent accidental startup and injury. Feed openings of injection molding machines are cleaned regularly, and cleaning may only be performed when machines are stopped; cleaning during operation is prohibited.

Plastic odors and minor exhaust gas generated during production are continuously extracted via dedicated workshop ventilation and exhaust systems to maintain good air circulation and prevent accumulation that endangers employee health.

Plastic raw materials are stored in dedicated areas of the material room and properly kept after use to avoid moisture and contamination. https://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10528.htmlWaste plastic scraps generated during production are promptly collected in dedicated bins for regular recycling and reuse; random disposal is prohibited.

Smoking and unauthorized use of open flames are strictly forbidden in the workshop. Sufficient fire extinguishers are provided, and fire safety control is strengthened in view of the flammable nature of plastic materials.
