How can the sanitation workers who run around busy streets every day ensure that they clean the city more cleanly?

In order to monitor the effectiveness of these "urban beauticians" at all times, some units have come up with a "trick"-allocating smart watches and sending positioning at any time. Stay in place for more than 20 minutes, and the watch will automatically sound an alarm...

Stay in place for 20 minutes and alert

Recently, a sanitation company in Hexi District, Nanjing distributed an electronic smart watch to its sanitation workers. However, this watch is not only used to see the time, but also a "monitor" for sanitation workers.

According to a report from "Nanjing Zero Distance", sanitation workers in the Hexi area of Nanjing wear a smart watch uniformly distributed by the company. This watch not only has a positioning function, it can also make a sound of "come on" after the sanitation workers stay in place for 20 minutes to remind them "it's time to start".

"If you stay there for 20 minutes without moving, it knows everything." An environmental sanitation worker explained that once the watch finds that the sanitation worker has a stay time of more than 20 minutes, it will continue to make a "refuel, refuel" sound. If you still stay where you are, the relevant leaders will "look for them."

Many sanitation workers found it difficult to understand the act of distributing smart watches. Another sanitation worker questioned: "I will pick up any floating objects on the road, and the road is clean. Why should we run back and forth?"

According to a report in the Yangtze Evening News, there is an electronic display in the "Smart Environmental Sanitation" integrated dispatch monitoring and command center. On the display screen, the location of all the staff of Jianhuan Company is accurately displayed. The staff said that all the managers of the company have a "smart sanitation" software in their mobile phones, and they can see where they stayed and where they came from in the background of the system.

Why should we distribute smart watches with these functions for sanitation workers? Tang Haiping, a staff member of Nanjing Hexi Jianhuan "Smart Sanitation" Integrated Dispatching Monitoring Command Center, explained that the use of watches can assess cleaners in three aspects: first, attendance statistics; second, staying in violation of regulations; third, leaving the work area.

According to the staff member, a sanitation worker staying in one place for more than 20 minutes is considered an illegal stay, and the system will automatically call the police. In addition, if the sanitation worker leaves the work area during working hours, the system will also generate data and send the data to each branch company, and the branch company will punish the sanitation worker who violates the regulations.

Netizens:

Call the police after staying for 20 minutes. Is the management too rigid?

Does staying in place for 20 minutes mean that sanitation workers are "passively sabotaging"? Is this management method a rigorous performance or a rigid system? After the news was exposed by the media, it attracted many controversies among netizens.

Some netizens suggested that instead of paying attention to monitoring the working status of sanitation workers, it is better to distribute a safety guarantee for them:

There are also netizens who think that such an approach is too harsh for sanitation workers, similar to the modern version of "chicken croaking in the middle of the night":

Call the police after staying for 20 minutes. Is the supervision too rigid? In response to this, Zhang Shunping, director of the Marketing Department of Nanjing Hexi Jianhuan Company, responded in an interview with the media: "If they follow this standard, they can clean it. If it does not follow this standard, the cleanliness is unknown."

Zhang Shunping said that if (sanitation workers) stay in one place for 45 minutes or more than half an hour, the cleaning tour on the road is definitely not up to standard.

Response: It is not a urge to work. The bracelet is currently cancelled

Is this watch really like netizens' comments, it is the manager's deliberate squeeze and deduction of sanitation workers? In response, the staff also responded:

According to media reports, the Nanjing Urban Management Bureau has a requirement for street cleaning, that is, sanitation workers must perform 15-minute tour cleaning to ensure that the road is clean and tidy. On this basis, the background of the smart bracelet is set with a voice prompt that "alarms" after staying in place for 20 minutes.

A company manager explained that the purpose is to get the sanitation workers to move, not to urge the sanitation workers to work quickly. The person in charge made it clear that since the distribution of the smart bracelet, no sanitation worker has been punished for the information provided by the bracelet.

In addition, if the tasks of sanitation workers cannot be fulfilled and the standards are not met, the Municipal Urban Management Bureau also has a set of assessment methods. Each district will implement the plan in accordance with the city's plan and will never be deducted.

For this controversial electronic watch, according to media reports, the 20-minute reminder function of the watch has been cancelled.

As "Angels on the Road", they are "welcome"

"Urban beauticians" and "Angels on the road" are what many people look like in the eyes of sanitation workers. They have been running around busy streets for a long time, and they often receive warmth from all walks of life.

In October last year, Jurong, Jiangsu, fully implemented the "free lunch" for sanitation workers in the main urban area, which allowed more than 870 local sanitation frontline cleaners to say goodbye to cold meals and eat delicious hot meals that are not the same every day.

In addition, the Chengdu Municipal Government also issued the "Chengdu Sanitation Workers' Health and Safety Care Measures" in March this year. Among them, it is proposed that Chengdu will establish special funds for the care and care of sanitation workers, clarify the minimum wage standard for sanitation workers, raise the standard of job allowances for sanitation workers, and include sanitation work safety accidents into the deduction items for bidding management, and determine that every October is "Sanitation Workers Care". moon".

There are also practitioners from all walks of life in society who offer their love to sanitation workers.

According to a reporter from Chinanews.com, some cafes in Shenyang were once open to front-line workers such as sanitation workers and takeaways for free. One of the cafe staff said: “The door will always be open to them, and front-line workers are welcome to warm up in winter and enjoy the cool in summer.” He hopes to warm the hearts of those busy on the go.

In March this year, more than 1,200 trekking enthusiasts from all over the country gathered in Harbin to dedicate their love to sanitation workers by trekking. The love points collected by the players on foot were finally exchanged for an egg and given to the sanitation workers who stood by the city roads.
