High-tech labor insurance products into the market of safety protection products

During disaster rescue operations, the gas masks used by emergency personnel can cost nearly 10,000 yuan. Have you ever wondered if you'd dare to step on nails? On the 13th, the 2012 Northeast China International Labor Protection Supplies Fair opened at the Changchun International Convention and Exhibition Center and concluded on the 15th. The event showcased a wide range of labor protection products, including safety footwear, anti-virus gear, water rescue equipment, and more. According to the Municipal Council for the Promotion of International Trade, this was the first time that Changchun hosted such a labor protection exhibition.

When people think about labor protection equipment, helmets, seat belts, and gloves often come to mind first. However, safety shoes and protective boots—designed to protect workers' feet—are frequently overlooked. At the fair, many innovative safety shoes caught the attention of both buyers and visitors.

"Wearing puncture-resistant safety shoes is like performing magic—you can even step on nails without getting hurt," one exhibitor explained. The shoes on display featured multiple functions, such as anti-mite, anti-puncture, anti-static, and insulation capabilities. These features make them ideal for various hazardous working environments.

"Anti-puncture safety shoes are essential in industries like metal stamping, electroplating, machinery, printing, packaging, and shipbuilding, where feet may be exposed to dangerous elements," said an exhibitor from Hebei. They added that many domestic manufacturers are now focusing on producing high-quality safety footwear, a market that was once dominated by foreign companies.

"Every second counts during mine rescue operations," said an exhibitor from Fushun, Liaoning. "The new anti-virus gear can extend usage time from one hour to four hours, significantly improving rescue success rates." The advanced air-breathing apparatus, priced at 10,000 yuan, uses a compressed air cylinder as its power source. This technology ensures longer operation times and better protection for rescuers in dangerous conditions.

The Changchun Labor Insurance Exhibition was held due to the city's strategic location and strong economic foundation. As the capital of Jilin Province, Changchun is centrally located within the three northeastern provinces, offering excellent geographical advantages. With the government's recent policies aimed at revitalizing the old industrial base in Northeast China, Changchun has experienced rapid economic growth. Foreign investors have taken notice, showing increased interest in the city’s development potential and investing more in local projects. This growing demand creates a promising environment for the expansion of labor protection exhibitions in Changchun.
