At present, there is no clear law on occupational hazards, but the Law on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases defines what an occupational disease is. Article 2 of the law stipulates: "Occupational diseases mentioned in this law refer to diseases caused by workers of enterprises, institutions, individual economic organizations and other employers who are exposed to dust, radioactive substances and other toxic and harmful factors in their professional activities. The classification and catalogue of occupational diseases shall be formulated, adjusted and published by the health administrative department of the State Council in conjunction with the safety production supervision and management department and the labor security administrative department of the State Council. "
Extended data:
There are restrictive conditions for workers exposed to occupational hazards to leave their jobs. The employer shall not terminate the labor contract according to Articles 40 and 41 of the Labor Contract Law if the occupational health examination is not carried out before leaving the post. Even if the termination conditions are met, the labor contract shall continue until the corresponding situation disappears.
However, it should be noted that there are some differences between the Labor Contract Law and the Law on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases, and there are also disputes in practice on whether the employer can terminate the labor contract according to Article 39 of the Labor Contract Law without the occupational health examination before leaving the post.
