First, occupational hazards are widely distributed in China. From traditional industries to emerging industries and tertiary industries, there are certain occupational hazards, and hundreds of millions of people are exposed to occupational hazards. Occupational disease prevention and control involves more than 30 industries, and the list of statutory occupational diseases reaches 1 15. The number of people exposed to occupational hazards, the cumulative incidence of occupational diseases, the number of deaths and the number of new people all rank first in the world.
Second, the incidence of occupational diseases in China is grim. In recent ten years, the incidence of occupational diseases showed an obvious concave rebound trend. The number of cases began to decrease year by year in the early 1990s, and 1997 reached its lowest level and then rebounded. Among them, the detection rate of pneumoconiosis increased significantly.
Third, the occupational hazards in China are mainly dust, and occupational patients are mainly pneumoconiosis, accounting for 765,438+0% of all occupational diseases, and poisoning accounts for 20%, accounting for 90% of all occupational diseases. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis and silicosis are the most serious pneumoconiosis, and more than half of pneumoconiosis patients are coal workers' pneumoconiosis.
Fourth, the economic losses caused by occupational diseases are serious. According to the rough estimation of relevant departments, the direct economic losses caused by occupational diseases and industrial accidents in China reach 654.38 billion yuan and the indirect economic losses reach 200 billion yuan each year.
Fifth, occupational diseases are the main factors that affect workers' health and cause them to lose their ability to work prematurely, and their consequences often lead to bad social impact. Acute occupational poisoning is obviously frequent, and malignant events increase, which has a great social impact.
Sixthly, the investigation of the current situation of occupational health institutions and teams shows that China has initially formed an occupational health supervision and technical service network, but the number of teams is small and the quality is low; The cultural quality is low, the proportion of on-site technical service personnel is low and the reserve force is insufficient.
Seventh, China's occupational health investment survey shows that since 1999, governments at all levels have increased their investment in occupational health year by year. However, due to the low base, the per capita occupational health investment is obviously insufficient, which is extremely disproportionate to the level of economic development, leading to the lack of protection of occupational health supervision and technical services.
