Draft Occupational Disease Prevention Act &Nbsp; Increase Employer Responsibility.

According to voice of china CNR news, the twenty-third session of the eleven NPC Standing Committee is being held in the Great Hall of the people. The conference has just heard the report on the results of the deliberations on the amendment to the Occupational Disease Prevention Act (Draft). This is the second time that the bill was deliberated at the current Standing Committee.

After soliciting opinions from all walks of life,

The NPC Law Committee first made clear its responsibilities for supervision and management of workplaces.

Since most of the departments responsible for occupational health supervision and management in the workplace are safety supervision departments, it is suggested that the departments in charge of occupational health supervision and management in workplaces at or above the county level should be explicitly described as safety production supervision and management departments.

In the process of soliciting opinions from the draft, some people put forward the principle that we should further strengthen prevention.

In the draft notes, when a small number of occupational patients do not exist or are unable to confirm their employment relationship, the occupational disease treatment for this part is difficult to incorporate into the provisions of the draft. Therefore, it is also intended to study the solution separately.

After studying, it is suggested that a stipulation should be added to the draft, that is, an occupational disease patient who has no or unable to confirm this labor relationship can apply for medical assistance and life assistance from the Civil Affairs Department of the local people's government.
