Strengthening the prevention and treatment of occupational diseases and the protection of workers' health is an inevitable requirement for implementing Scientific Outlook on Development and building a harmonious society, and an important guarantee for promoting sustainable economic and social development. In recent years, local health departments have conscientiously implemented the Law on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases, done a lot of work according to the division of responsibilities, and achieved remarkable results. However, the situation of occupational disease prevention and control in China is still grim, some serious occupational hazards have not been effectively controlled, some places have not paid enough attention to occupational disease prevention and control, and the implementation of work guarantee measures is not in place. The construction of primary occupational health supervision and technical service network needs to be strengthened urgently.
In order to build a long-term mechanism for occupational health supervision and effectively safeguard the health rights and interests of workers, the notice on further strengthening the prevention and control of occupational diseases is as follows.
First, raise awareness and earnestly strengthen leadership over occupational disease prevention and control.
The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to the prevention and control of occupational diseases, and repeatedly stressed the need to take radical measures, strengthen law enforcement, strictly implement labor protection measures, and earnestly strengthen the prevention and control of occupational diseases. Health administrative departments at all levels should fully understand the importance and urgency of doing a good job in occupational disease prevention and control, put occupational disease prevention and control on an important agenda as a livelihood project, make careful arrangements, and pay close attention to implementation. It is necessary to report the situation of occupational disease prevention and control to the local government in a timely manner, speed up the formulation of occupational disease prevention and control plans in the region, strengthen communication and coordination with relevant departments, and actively seek support. It is necessary to establish and improve the working mechanism, fully implement the responsibility system and accountability system for occupational disease prevention and control, and take effective measures to grasp, grasp and achieve results in various occupational disease prevention and control measures stipulated by law, so as to effectively protect the health rights and interests of workers.
Two, prevention first, strengthen the prevention of occupational hazards in construction projects.
In the process of accelerating the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society and realizing sound and rapid economic development, all localities should take the early prevention of occupational hazards in construction projects as a key task and strictly control the source of occupational hazards. Strengthen the management of new construction, renovation and expansion projects, technological transformation and technology introduction projects, especially in the process of developing the western region, strictly control projects with backward technology that seriously endanger the health of workers and prevent the transfer of occupational hazards. For construction projects that may cause occupational hazards, pre-assessment and health audit of occupational hazards must be carried out; The design of protective facilities for construction projects with serious occupational hazards shall be examined by the health administrative department, and the construction can only be started if it meets the national health occupational standards and health requirements; Construction projects that fail to pass the evaluation of occupational disease hazard control effect and health acceptance shall not be formally put into production. Those that have been produced should be re-evaluated for the control effect of occupational hazards, and those that fail to pass the evaluation should be rectified within a time limit. Those who have serious hazards or are still unqualified after rectification should be resolutely closed to prevent new occupational hazards.
Three, strengthen the construction of occupational health service institutions, improve the service ability and level.
It is necessary to speed up the construction of occupational health technical service network and provide convenient and efficient occupational health technical services for employers and workers. It is necessary to ensure that the occupational health examination covers every county (district), and gradually realize the occupational health examination to towns and communities. For counties (districts) that have no occupational health examination institutions at present, it should be made clear that 1 high-level medical and health institutions should undertake occupational health examination as soon as possible. It is necessary to strengthen the construction and standardized management of occupational disease diagnosis institutions, so that occupational disease diagnosis institutions can cover every city as soon as possible, and constantly improve the technical level of occupational disease diagnosis. It is necessary to further improve the construction of occupational health expert database and strengthen technical support and guidance.
All localities should strengthen the construction, supervision and management of occupational health service institutions according to the principle of territorial management. It is necessary to establish a reward and punishment system for occupational health service institutions, standardize service behavior, and constantly improve the awareness and technical level of practicing according to law; It is necessary to strengthen the supervision and inspection of occupational health service institutions, severely investigate and punish violations of laws and regulations, and inform the society in a timely manner.
Four, highlight the key points, strengthen the supervision and law enforcement of occupational health.
It is necessary to further adjust and enrich the supervision and management of occupational health and radiation health, and strengthen the construction of occupational health and radiation health supervision team. Health supervision institutions at or above the prefecture level shall set up special occupational health and radiation health supervision departments, and health supervision institutions at the county level shall have supervisors with an appropriate proportion to be responsible for occupational health and radiation health supervision. At the same time, it is necessary to continuously improve working conditions, equip with necessary on-site rapid detection equipment, law enforcement and evidence collection tools, communication and transportation, etc., ensure their working funds, and strengthen professional knowledge and skills training. It is necessary to constantly improve the health supervision and management mode, lay a solid foundation for work, implement supervision responsibilities, and constantly improve the ability and level of occupational health and radiation health supervision.
According to the national key occupational health supervision and inspection plan in 2008, all localities should strengthen the supervision and inspection of enterprises with dust, organic solvents and radioactive occupational hazards in combination with local key occupational hazard enterprises, key industrial enterprises and key populations, and continuously improve the coverage of occupational health monitoring and occupational health inspection of construction projects. It is necessary to seriously investigate and deal with illegal acts that endanger the health of workers, and actively do a good job in accepting complaints and reports of cases of occupational disease hazards. All localities should attach great importance to the clues of major cases, seriously organize the investigation, and inform the society in a timely manner.
Five, strengthen publicity, and create a good atmosphere for the whole society to care about the health of workers.
