Problems and Countermeasures in Labor Safety and Health Protection

Labor safety and health protection is a basic right protection and rights of laborers. Over the years, under the care and love of the party and the government, the laborer's labor safety and hygiene environment has received a great deal of attention and improvement. However, due to the various factors that endanger the health of workers in the labor production process, occupational diseases are The hazard is still serious. The following will address the current production situation of some enterprises and talk about the problems and countermeasures in labor safety and health protection.

I. Current labor safety and health protection status and problems

1. The Party and the State attach great importance to the care and safety of labor, especially to the increase in labor safety and health protection in recent years, and effectively improve the laborer's labor safety and hygiene environment.

In legislation, the party and the state have always attached great importance to the legislation on labor safety and health, and have established a relatively systematic legal system on labor safety and health. For example, the “Constitution” of the Ministry of History has clearly stipulated that labor protection should be strengthened and working conditions should be improved. The "Labor Law" special chapter put forward the principle requirements for "labor safety and health". In the new century, the party thoroughly implemented the scientific concept of development, adhered to the people-centered approach, emphasized the construction of a pro-people’s government, and paid more attention to safeguarding the health of workers in the labor production process. The “Occupational Disease Prevention Law” and “Cleaner Production Promotion Law” were successively formulated and issued. And other laws. It has played an important role in promoting the health and safety of labor. From the perspective of our Kailuan Group, the Staff Representative Conference must sign the “Collective Contract” and the “Labor Safety and Hygiene Agreement” every year to make detailed and detailed requirements for labor safety and health, set up professional departments for the prevention and control of occupational diseases, and constantly raise standards for labor protection supplies. , Increase investment, improve labor and health conditions at the production site, carry out special health examinations for employees involved in occupational hazards every year, carry out regular and dynamic occupational health prevention special inspections, and achieve remarkable results, which are welcomed and recognized by employees.

2. Problems in the current labor safety and health aspects.

The first is the serious harm of occupational diseases. According to statistics, the single most important cause of silicosis in coal mines is the first-line workers, and nearly 10,000 people are detected every year in the country. Regardless of the number of people exposed to occupational hazards, the cumulative number of occupational diseases, the number of deaths, and the number of newly discovered patients rank first in the world. With the increase in safety management efforts over the years, malignant industrial accidents have been effectively contained and occupational hazards have become increasingly prominent.

Second, it is difficult for labor safety and hygiene rights protection. Because occupational health prevention and control is not in place, employees’ working environment and health checkups are not timely, and labor rights protection laws do not tilt laborers to this vulnerable group, which makes it difficult for laborers to provide evidence in the event of occupational diseases, compensation, and treatment. The incident of "opening the chest and inspecting the lungs" in Henan highlighted the defects in the construction of the legal system of labor safety and hygiene and the difficulty of rights protection.

The third is the lack of labor safety and health management penalties. Occupational safety and lighter labor hygiene are present. In the area of ​​management, there are cases where inspections are conducted on behalf of the government, penalties are levied on behalf of the government, and re-treatment is lighter. The safety supervision department can veto and strictly penalize the safety production of the company. However, the consequences of occupational diseases are chronic and hidden. The safety and punishment departments of the safety supervision departments often appear to be incapable of punishment.

Second, there are problems in labor safety and health

1. From the perspective of implementing the scientific development concept, we must firmly establish a people-centered, health-minded awareness, improve the labor hygiene environment, and ensure the occupational health of workers. We must resolutely eliminate backward productive forces and thoroughly eliminate the source of damage. We must not be able to fish for a momentary economic growth, and jeopardize the health of employees.

2. Further strengthen the construction of relevant legal systems and increase protection of laborers' safety and health in accordance with the law. First of all, we must continue to govern enterprises in accordance with the law. The "Labor Law" and the "Protection of Occupational Diseases Law" provide legal protection for enterprises in accordance with the law. Create a labor hygiene and occupational health environment. In the legislation, it is necessary to increase the protection of laborers, implement evidence for employers, retrospective systems, advance advances, etc., and increase labor safety and health protection and judicial assistance to protect the interests of workers. The labor union should take the status of labor hygiene as an important part of the employee representative's safety inspection. Safeguarding employees’ rights and interests in labor and hygiene according to law requires the enforcement of laws and regulations that imperil labor hygiene, and severe legal actions should also be pursued. Patients with occupational diseases should be guaranteed treatment and compensated according to standards. Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen publicity and education, enhance employees' awareness of self-protection, and strengthen training in relevant laws, regulations, and occupational disease prevention and control knowledge. The relevant departments’ monitoring of the occupational hazards of the company and the conclusion of the data analysis must be made public to the employees, give the laborers the right to know and encourage them to effectively protect their own rights and interests. Those who do not meet the national occupational health standards must order and supervise the suspension of rectification and rectification, and urge the enterprises to do a good job of prevention and treatment of occupational diseases.

3, enhance occupational health awareness. To adhere to the people-oriented principle, one must attach importance to human life and health. The input and management of enterprises must be put in place so that labor hygiene can be effectively guaranteed. On the other hand, we must focus on raising people’s emphasis on labor hygiene. Only by letting everyone establish a sense of concern for life and care for health can the company be on the track of healthy, sustained, and coordinated development.
