Migrant workers: Give the homeowner's protective nets a paint brush and both hands are rotted

On the morning of the 18th, the reporter saw Mr. Li, a migrant worker, on the side of the Hongcheng Lake Road in Haikou City. He opened his hands to the reporter and saw that the palms of his hands were cracked and he had a lot of dead skin.

Mr. Li told reporters that he was 41 years old and he worked from his hometown in Sichuan to Haikou. He usually makes a living by brush painting. Last month, when Mr. Li painted the anti-theft net of the homeowner's home, he suddenly felt pain and swelling in his hands. Later, the skin of the palm of his hand festered. This could scare him.

“On March 17th, Mr. Huang, the owner of the house, hired me to paint the security net of his new house. I started to paint from 12 o’clock noon and brushed it until 5 o’clock in the afternoon and found that my hands were not together and the swelling was serious. “Mr. Li told reporters that he found his hands were swollen. He immediately went to the hospital for treatment. Later his hands developed redness, ulceration, peeling and other symptoms. The condition became more and more serious. He was hospitalized for more than a week and spent thousands of dollars.” The symptoms of swelling are relieved, but now the peeling is more serious and affects his normal life. "It's difficult to eat and bathe now and I can't live."

According to Mr. Li, at the time, he and Mr. Huang agreed that only the contractor should not be expected. He was only responsible for painting, and paint and other raw materials were provided by Mr. Huang.

Mr. Li said that after his hand had a problem, Mr. Huang paid for a portion of his treatment costs, totaling 2,200 yuan before and after, and he himself paid a total of more than 5,000 yuan in treatment fees. He also spent more than 1,000 yuan after being discharged from the hospital. "My hand isn't ok, I can't work to make a living to support my family, and I have two children at school. Later I found Mr. Huang and wanted him to pay some medical expenses and compensation for loss of work, but he refused to pay for it. Mr. Li said.

Homeowner: Mr. Li did not take protective measures when he applied the paint, causing problems with his hands.

On the 18th, the reporter and Mr. Li together to find homeowner Mr. Huang to understand the situation.

Mr. Huang and his wife, Ms. Wu, both said that they hired Mr. Li to paint the anti-theft nets of his house and that the wages were 570 yuan a day, but Mr. Lee only brushed one afternoon, and his hand went wrong. On that day they paid Mr. Lee 200 yuan. He asked him to go for treatment first and later paid a total of 2,000 yuan in succession. Mr. Huang believes that the cause of Mr. Li’s problem lies in Mr. Li’s own responsibility.

“At that time, he did not wear gloves and he directly used his hands to paint. We said that it would not work. We asked if we needed to buy gloves. However, Mr. Li insisted that (wearing gloves) would not do it.” Mr. Huang said that Mr. Li directly touched the hand. Touching the paint leads to redness and ulceration of the hands, and the instructions for use on the paint remind us that they cannot be used directly by hand.

Mr. Huang said that if Mr. Li still has objections to the matter, the two parties can go to the relevant departments to conduct labor arbitration. He will certainly bear the responsibility he has assumed.

Mr. Li said that he had not used gloves to paint and had not had problems before, so he thought it was very likely that the quality of the paint provided by Mr. Huang was a problem that caused his hands to swell and fester. For this statement, Mr. Huang does not agree that he said that the paint was bought from his sister's shop, there are regular manufacturers, and there is no quality problem during the warranty period.

On the 18th, the law-enforcement personnel of the Guoxing Industry and Commerce Institute of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of the Haikou Municipality and the staff of the Qiongshan District Labour Supervision and Protection Brigade also came to know the situation.

At the scene, Chen Hsinchen, director of the Guoxing Industry and Commerce Institute, said that law enforcement officers did not find out about issues such as expired products after initial inspections of the paints involved, but there was no production date, manufacturers, etc. in the Songshui water packaging added during the operation. They had already Ask the store's younger sister to provide a business license and a copy, and inform the supplier to provide product certification and test report for further investigation.
