Research on the Status and Counter-measures of Occupational Injury Protection Mechanism of Couriers
In order to understand the status of occupational injury protection for workers in new business formats and promote effectively the occupational injury protection for couriers,a review of the current status of occupational injury protection for new industry workers both domestically and internationally is conducted,by comparing the policies and systems of different countries and regions with respect to occupational injury protection for workers in new industries such as couriers.Then,an analysis was performed on the types of occupational injuries possibly suffered by couriers and the issues associated with their protection.The key problems in the mechanism for protecting couriers from occupational injuries were identified,including difficulties in determining labor relations,complex identification of work-related injuries,and lack of primary responsibility.Finally,appropriate counter-measures and suggestions were proposed from three aspects:government functions,corporate responsibility,and the role of trade unions to address the above issues.The research results can provide reference for further improving the occupational injury protection mechanism for express delivery workers in China,and also provide reference for improving the relevant protection level of workers in new industries in other industries.
