On the first day of June, the maximum temperature in Beijing also soared to 36°C. Not only did air conditioning begin to peak in one year of sales season, after-sales installation also entered the most intense period of the year. On the same day, the theme was 'Life'. "Safety development of the supreme" '2018 annual air-conditioning installation safety inspection and air-conditioning installation safety Wanlixing activities' held in Beijing.
From the understanding of the meeting, China's air-conditioning industry has developed rapidly, and the air-conditioning market is also growing. From the beginning of reform and opening up, from scratch, from small to large, by the end of 2017, the domestic market has sold more than 50 million units, almost It is half of the global market sales. Although attached to the expansion of the air-conditioning market, after-sales installations have also formed a huge industry. However, according to the information obtained from the conference, the safety of installation operations is worrying, and it is worth causing the relevant government departments and the industry to be vigilant.
The quality of employees is uneven
The air-conditioning industry has a lot of particularities in the field of home appliances. There is a clear season for sales. More than 60% of the annual sales volume is concentrated in the three months of 5, 6, 7 and nearly 40% of the sales volume remains. Nearly 8-9 months to complete. It can be seen that the season of air conditioning is extremely clear.
Therefore, a large part of the installers relying on the air-conditioning market will become seasonal workers, and only a few of the installers who stay in the off-season will be called full-time. Most of them will be on-demand in the off-season and will be gone in the off-season. The industry dubbed 'urban peasants'. With such unstable employment conditions, how can they guarantee their professionalism?
According to reports, the lack of installers during the peak season led some of the old installers to earn their own money from the seven princes, the eight sister-in-law, the big sister-in-law, and the cousins in the countryside. From the viewpoint of personnel structure, many peak seasons Temporary workers are trained after a short period of time. Even some people don’t even have training in the training. If they do a fake job permit, they will install orders. The professional quality of such installers is generally not high. ?
According to industry insiders, this situation is not only now, but has been formed since the start of the domestic air-conditioning market. Although, all brands have set up their own professional installation team, but in the high season still have to recruit a large number of temporary installation workers. Meet the harsh conditions that salespeople promise.
In the peak season, users are eager to ask, and users are in a hurry to ask for it. Market conditions are not good enough for quality, and people's quality is uneven. It has long been a long-standing problem in the industry. So far it has been fundamentally difficult to get a real solution.
Industry risk is extremely prominent
Air-conditioning installation is a risky job. This year's air-conditioning installation safety has been included in the scope of special operations of the State Administration of Work Safety on the high-hanging operations. In other words, the government has attached great importance to the safety of air-conditioning installation and has incorporated it into the scope of special operations. To be managed and regulated. In fact, the safety risk of air-conditioning installation has been noticed by associations and other related departments.
According to Sun Xiaoju, director of the insurance committee of the China Household Appliance Service and Maintenance Association, from the perspective of volume, the installation and maintenance companies are mostly small businesses. Once an accident occurs, many employers run without compensation for economic compensation. 3. Paolu also has no ability to fully assume the victim’s liability.
According to the survey conducted by the association, the most accidental time for the installers in a day is around 2 pm. On the one hand, it is the morning to noon work, and some have already installed no less than 3-5 sets. The fatigue caused by the two major work starts to appear. On the other hand, 2 o'clock in the afternoon is the period during which the human body is prone to be trapped. Physiological exhaustion also contributes to the risk of accidents.
The meeting also analyzed the distribution of major accident types from 2013 to 2017, which accounted for 73% of the total accidents. It is the largest piece of installation accidents. The highest proportion of accidents in falling buildings is not high-level. However, the relatively low-floor accident rate below the 4th floor is the highest, reaching 38%, which is 35.7% higher than the 28% of the 4th to 11th floors. It is shocking. This is because the installer has high-level work on the 5th floor and above. It pays more attention to safety and knows the danger of falling. On the floors below the 4th floor, there is no sense of fear, and it often leads to irrationality. Therefore, the fourth floor is actually a fall. Multiple floors of an accident. It seems to enhance safety awareness. Starting from oneself will avoid many things that can not be repented.
Lack of standardized insurance awareness by manufacturers
Everyone knows that air-conditioning installation is a dangerous job. However, managers, practitioners and installers in this industry all have a problem of indifferent safety awareness. However, many manufacturers, especially small and medium-sized installation service companies, are buying Security insurance has a lot of misunderstandings. The association divides it into three types:
First, buy it wrong. Many service providers are still insured group accident insurance. This kind of group accident insurance, the installer really out of the personal safety accident during the installation process, is unable to protect their own rights. That is to say not in the scope of insurance protection Internally, the insurance company does not provide compensation. If the installation workman encounters such a situation, it is dumb to eat Coptis.
Second, under-purchasing. According to the relevant standards of the country in 2017, the employer's minimum liability for work-related accidents has reached about 750,000 yuan. There are a lot of insurance policies in the industry with less than 500,000 insured amount. The purpose is very simple. First, in order to save insurance costs, the second is to be lucky. In fact, such a policy can not play a full guarantee.
Third, can not buy. Temporary employment during the peak season has always been a difficult point in risk protection. Because of the urgency of employment, they are unable to perform the insurance procedures in a short period of time and they have taken up their posts. However, once a security incident occurs, even a few pockets of compensation are not available.
The Association’s insurance professional committee is actively cooperating with insurance companies to provide installers and employers with quality and cost-effective insurance products. Insurance is generally a strong guarantee for the rights and interests of air-conditioning installation and maintenance personnel.
The safety of air-conditioning installation is a matter of life and death. However, from the current state of the industry, such major events have not been highly valued by manufacturers and practitioners. The China Household Appliance Service and Maintenance Association has implemented the spirit of the instructions of the State Council safety committee. The safety inspections of air-conditioning installations have been carried out, which shows that from the beginning of management, the safety of air-conditioning installation has been noticed. This is a great life-giving event for the industry, especially those engaged in the installation of first-line practitioners. Can really put in place!
