Chapter 14 Student work safety issues

The newspaper reported that the Emergency Department of National Taiwan University Hospital has recently received consecutive patients who had severed fingers and cut palms due to work accidents, saying that they were crushed or strangled by machines. Most of them were between the ages of fifteen and nineteen. The National Taiwan University Hospital found it very strange. After careful questioning, it was found that young students were working in factories during the summer vacation. Because they had no pre-employment training guidance and lack of work experience, unfortunate incidents of disability occurred.Therefore, National Taiwan University Hospital made an urgent appeal to the society and the parents of the students, and they must pay attention to the safety of their migrant workers.

Many people were shocked and sympathetic after reading this news report. Thinking about these young children, most of them are students of high-tech, vocational or middle schools, and even thinking that there must be more college and high school students who are also In addition to those who have been found in National Taiwan University Hospital, there may be similar records in other hospitals across the province for people who went to work during the summer and sought medical treatment due to accidental injuries at work. This is a social problem worthy of attention. We can almost say with certainty that these young people who work during the summer vacation must be good students, good children, and good citizens; no matter the purpose of their part-time work is to earn tuition and pocket money, or to supplement their families, or to Gaining work experience, or killing long summer vacations, the motives are pure and lovely.There are even those who have a good family background but go to work to hone the spirit of self-reliance, and their ambitions are even more commendable.From this, we can see the ambition and hard work of the next generation of young people.These good young people are much better than some so-called unhealthy young people who love leisure, hate work, wander around, and even cause trouble, and they are worthy of our society's praise.

However, it is a pity that among these lovely good young people and good students, in the process of happily working part-time jobs, they unfortunately suffered accidental injuries, which is really distressing.Anyone who has no parents and children, even if the matter has nothing to do with him, and anyone who hears this bloody lesson will feel sorry for it!It was a time of youth, and unfortunately caused the disability of limb function, which is a lifetime loss.We can't bear to blame the young people for their own negligence, because they are young and inactive after all, and the person in charge of the factory is the one who should be blamed the most. Why don't we give more loving care to the young students who are part-time workers?Why use inexperienced hands to cover dangerous work positions?And why can't we give advice and protection from time to time?It is said that some factories even recruit young students who work part-time into the general production line as soon as they arrive, and they have the same day and night shifts as skilled workers. How can we avoid accidental injuries?Can you be safe in morality and conscience?

As parents, it is best to pay more attention to the part-time job of school children during the summer vacation. In addition to asking about the situation, you should also go to the factory to see it. It is not too late to make amends, and the future is long, and the competent government agencies have the power and responsibility. In this regard, factories should set up strict regulations as a precautionary measure. (Numbers 68, 8, 2)
