[real-time] anti fog masks should be standard

“Oh, there are people who care so much about us and give us smog masks!” Yesterday morning, in front of the arched gate of Taiyuan’s North Street, guardian Hao was curious to wear a mask. On the same day, the City Youth League teamed with Caring Enterprises and sent 3,600 smog masks to more than 3,000 sanitation workers in Xinghualing District. (October 26 "Taiyuan Evening News")

The plain words express the surprises and emotions of the sanitation workers. What kind of courtesies can they get? It is not a luxurious reward like flying on airplanes. It is just a common anti-haze mask.

The actions of a loving company are indeed moving, but it is not a harsh criticism of the relevant departments: how many years have fog and haze, why not provide anti-fog and smog masks for sanitation workers who work outdoors every day? Or is it reluctant to praise the city's beautician over ten thousand times, is not as true as this little face mask, is the normal rights and interests of sanitation workers need all sectors of society to offer love?

As we all know, the working hours of sanitation workers highly coincide with the time period of smog. Not only do they have long working hours and labor intensity, but they are always in close contact with dust and the body is easily injured. Even if they do not care, the relevant departments should take the initiative. Make anti-fog and haze masks become the standard for sanitation workers – this is not only a real care, but also the most basic protection for their physical health.

In contrast, outdoor workers, including traffic policemen, construction workers, etc., should all be equipped with anti-fog and smog masks because they are exposed to smog and there is nowhere to hide because no work should be done at the expense of health.

When these anti-fog and smog masks were changed, it might be the most severe period of smog. Who will tell them what to do? (Text / Song Pengwei)
