Magnesium smelting releases harmful gases and substances, and long-term exposure poses risks of irritation and corrosion to workers. Pollution from dust, heat and reducing slag generated during processing further deteriorates the working environment, increasing enterprises’ environmental pressures and economic burdens. This pollution affects workers’ health, raises corporate costs, and restricts the industry’s sustainable development. Addressing environmental issues is essential to protecting workers’ rights and promoting the healthy development of enterprises.

Smelting is energy-intensive and involves high-temperature and flammable substances. Improper operation or equipment failure can easily trigger fires and explosions. Spillage of molten magnesium also poses a high risk of combustion and explosion. Working in the high-temperature smelting environment may lead to occupational diseases such as skin diseases, heatstroke and dehydration. High temperatures can also cause water, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance in the human body, affecting workers’ physical strength and work efficiency, and increasing accident risks.
