The prevention and treatment of occupational diseases should be a health concern of the whole society

In the Institutional Reform Program of the State Council released this year, the occupational safety and health supervision responsibilities of the former State Administration of Production Supervision and Administration of State Security are assumed by the newly formed Occupational Health Department of the State Health and Health Commission. Since the reform and opening up, China's occupational health supervision function in the health, labor and safety production management departments have undergone many adjustments, the regulatory system presents from centralized unity to multi-headed responsibility, to centralized unification of the historical trajectory. After the institutional reform, the health administrative department is once again responsible for the whole process supervision of occupational health, which is conducive to the realization of the unity of occupational health supervision authority, to avoid inter-departmental push and shoo-in, not only give full play to the traditional strong supervision advantages of the safety supervision department, but also give full play to the professional and technical advantages of the health sector. It can be seen that the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to occupational health and has high hopes.
fact, china's existing occupational groups account for two-thirds of the total population, professional activities accounted for nearly two-thirds of the personal life cycle. It can be said that the prevention and treatment of occupational diseases involves the fundamental interests of the whole life cycle of the whole population. For decades, the main body of occupational disease patients was workers. Today, with the progress of science and technology, the transformation of production tools, occupational diseases have spread to the white-collar groups, but most of them are deeply involved in it without self-knowledge. In 2011, during the first revision of the Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Law, netizens debated whether common white-collar diseases such as cervical vertebral disease and "mouse hand" could be included in the list of occupational diseases, but most complained only a few words and did not form a rational and heated discussion. Ultimately, these diseases are not listed as occupational diseases because it is "difficult to determine whether they are caused during work". In fact, in developed countries, as long as the work related to cervical vertebral injury has reached a certain number of years, it can be considered an occupational disease.
, occupational disease prevention and treatment should become a common health concern of the whole society. There are 286 million migrant workers in China, most of whom are engaged in jobs with serious occupational hazards. It is of great significance to take effective measures to prevent migrant workers from being poor because of illness and return to poverty, and to avoid the tragedy of "making money with their lives and buying their lives with money", which is of great significance for winning the battle against poverty on schedule. Protecting the health rights and interests of every worker is the bottom line of a healthy and friendly society.
prevention and treatment of occupational diseases can not be separated from the protection of the rule of law environment and the support of the prevention and control team, which is an urgent problem to be solved after institutional adjustment. The introduction of documents such as the Outline of "Healthy China 2030" and the National Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Plan (2016-2020) shows that China's health and wellness work has leapt from disease management to health management. Therefore, occupational health should not stop at the old model of occupational disease prevention and treatment, but should, on the basis of doing a good job, explore the new mode of occupational health work to "comprehensive health management of occupational groups", combine occupational health and safety, disease prevention and control, health promotion and structural health community organically, realize "occupational health care for all" and effectively safeguard the physical and mental health of workers.
