In everyday life, the term “occupational disease” is often heard, for example: people in the office often say that cervical vertebrates are their “occupational disease”, it people say that mouse hands are their “occupational disease”, and chronic oscillitis is considered to be a “occupational disease” of teachers. What are the conditions for the diagnosis of occupational diseases? What's the status of the occupational disease in shanghai? What is the level compared to domestic and foreign? How can workers exposed to occupational hazards protect themselves in their daily work? Let's find out
What's an occupational disease
In a broad sense, occupational diseases refer to diseases resulting from exposure to hazards at work, including statutory occupational diseases and work-related diseases。
Occupational diseases are defined narrowly in the act on the prevention and control of occupational diseases, which defines them as those caused by exposure to dust, radioactive substances and other toxic and harmful factors in the professional activity of workers in enterprises, enterprises and private economic organizations。
Work-related diseases, such as cervical vertebrates, mouse hands, chronic oscillitis, etc., in the beginning of this paper, are the result of certain adverse factors in the production process, the labour process and the production environment, which result in an increase in the incidence of common diseases among the working population, the onset of latent diseases or an increase in the incidence of disease。
What are the conditions for the diagnosis of occupational diseases
The diagnosis of occupational diseases requires four conditions:
1. The use of occupational diseases is limited to workers employed in enterprises, enterprises and private economic organizations
2. Diseases must be caused by occupational activity
3. Must be caused by exposure to dust, radioactive substances and other toxic and hazardous factors
The disease must be listed in the classification and catalogue of occupational diseases published by the state。
None of the above four conditions is necessary, since otherwise it is not an occupational disease as defined by law。
What's the status of the occupational disease in shanghai? What is the level compared to domestic and foreign
Response: occupational diseases in shanghai continue to be dominated by traditional occupational diseases, mainly occupational deafness, occupational dust pulmonary diseases (mainly electric welders), occupational benzene poisoning, etc。
This is different from the western industrialized countries or regions. At the international level, there are fewer traditional occupational diseases in developed countries or regions, and occupational health is more concerned with psychosocial factors in the workplace (i. E. Occupational stress), health, human ergonomics, and occupational health of specific groups (e. G. Medical personnel, women, older persons)。
Compared to the rest of the country, the number and type of occupational diseases in shanghai also differ. In terms of the number of cases, the total number of occupational diseases in shanghai is decreasing from year to year; in terms of the composition of occupational diseases, there has been a downward trend in dust and pulmonary diseases and chemical poisoning over the last five years, while the number of occupational deafness is increasing every year (40-50 per cent), which is the largest number of occupational diseases diagnosed in shanghai。
How can workers exposed to occupational hazards protect themselves in their daily work
Response: workers work in an occupationally hazardous environment with two key words for self-protection: “entitlement” and “obligation”。
Access to the “rights” granted by the act on the prevention and control of occupational diseases requires employers to provide them with occupational health-related training, occupational health inspections, and the provision of suitable labour protection supplies。
At the same time, however, “rights” and “obligations” are always the same. At the same time, workers' rights must be exercised in accordance with the rules and regulations established by their employers. They must learn and acquire relevant occupational health information, comply with the laws, regulations and operating procedures for the prevention and treatment of occupational diseases, and use and maintain equipment and personal protective devices。
How can workers who are likely to be exposed to productive dust and chemical poisons when returning to work during the new coronal pneumonia control process be able to protect themselves
Response: whether the productive dust or pathogenic micro-organisms (e. G. Pathogenic bacteria or viruses) are particulate matter or the neo-capture virus are particulate matter, these different particles of inhalable particles are captured with electrostatic fibre filters when they attempt to pass through the filter material, so that they are protected by wearing masks such as kn95。
If there is a chemical hazard, in addition to the traditional filtering boxes, there is a need to add kn95-grade cotton filters。
