What is the importance of labor safety and health management?

Safeguard workers' rights, prevent injuries and other emergencies and improve productivity.

Only by doing a good job in labor safety and health management can we

First, ensure that workers create safe, hygienic and comfortable working conditions.

Second, eliminate and prevent possible casualties, occupational diseases and acute occupational poisoning in the process of labor production.

Third, ensure that workers can participate in social production with healthy labor force, promote the improvement of labor productivity, and ensure the smooth progress of socialist modernization.

First, labor safety refers to the prevention of accidents that endanger the personal safety of workers, such as poisoning, car accidents, electric shock, collapse, explosion, fire, falling from a height, mechanical trauma, etc.

Article 7 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights stipulates that States parties recognize the right of everyone to just and favourable working conditions, especially to ensure safe and hygienic working conditions. As a state party to the Convention, the state should clearly confirm this right of workers in the form of legislation and provide perfect protection. The main contents of China labor safety and health management system are:

(1) Safety production responsibility system;

(2) safety technical measures planning system;

③ Safety production education and assessment system;

(4) Safety production inspection system;

⑤ Labor protection inspection system;

⑥ Casualty accident reporting system.

Second, labor safety and health facilities are important measures to prevent accidents and reduce occupational hazards. Enterprises should take various measures to improve various labor safety and health facilities according to their own production characteristics to ensure the safety and health of employees. Therefore, Article 53 of the Labor Law stipulates that labor safety and health facilities must be designed, constructed and put into production and use simultaneously with the main project.

Third, the working environment is the production environment, which refers to the small environment composed of personnel environment and natural environment factors in the process of production and labor. Affected by the natural environment, the adaptability of workers is mainly influenced by the nature of work, working methods and corresponding technical organization measures, in addition to their own conditions. Working environment will not only affect work efficiency, but also directly affect the safety and health of employees.

On the basis of mastering the knowledge of the hazards that substances and machines used in different operations and working environments may bring to human health, we must consider effective working environment countermeasures.
