First, the basic requirements of occupational disease prevention and control work
Occupational disease prevention is an important part of labor protection in China, and its core goal is to prevent, control and eliminate occupational hazards and protect workers' health. To this end, China has formulated a series of laws and regulations, and defined the basic requirements for occupational disease prevention and control.
First of all, the employer should establish and improve the responsibility system for occupational disease prevention and control, and clarify the responsibilities and tasks of managers at all levels in occupational disease prevention and control. At the same time, the employer should also formulate plans and measures for the prevention and control of occupational diseases to ensure the orderly development of occupational disease prevention and control work.
Secondly, the employing unit should provide workers with working environment and conditions that meet the national occupational health standards and health requirements, and take necessary occupational disease protection measures to reduce the impact of occupational disease hazards on workers.
Second, the prevention and control of occupational hazards
Prevention and control of occupational hazards is the core content of occupational disease prevention and control. According to the laws of China, employers should monitor and evaluate occupational hazards to ensure the health and safety of workers.
For posts with occupational hazards, the employer shall take various measures such as engineering technology, individual protection and management to effectively control and eliminate occupational hazards. At the same time, the employer should also provide occupational health education and training to the workers to improve their awareness and ability of occupational disease prevention and control.
In addition, China has also established an occupational disease reporting and statistical system, requiring employers to report the incidence of occupational diseases in a timely manner, so as to provide a scientific basis for occupational disease prevention and control.

The employer shall perform the main responsibility of occupational disease prevention and provide a safe and healthy working environment for workers; Workers should enhance their awareness of self-protection and abide by occupational health laws and regulations; The government should strengthen supervision and guidance to promote the in-depth development of occupational disease prevention and control.
