Influencing factors of occupational injury risk of workers in diverse forms of employment and the prevention and control countermeasures in China
There are 200 million workers in diverse forms of employment in China,but there is a lack of systematic analysis on the influencing factors and prevention measures of their occupational injury risk.According to the analysis of the typical survey results of occupational injury of workers in diverse forms of employment in China,it shows that occupational injury risk of workers in diverse forms of employment is generally low but some groups are at higher risk.It is related to industry risk,personal characteristics,occupational vulnerability and employer characteristics.The influencing factors of occupational injury risk of self-employed workers are mainly the injury risk in their industry,type of self-employment,physical labor intensity and flexibility of working hours.Those of part-time workers are the personal safety and health knowledge,group effect,employer's attention,gender and age.Those of workers in new forms of employment are mainly traffic accidents,long working hours and work pressure.China has gained some experience and achievements in the occupational injury prevention and control for workers in diverse forms of employment,but it also faces many challenges.It is suggested to strengthen the sense of urgency of occupational injury prevention and control among workers in diverse forms of employment,strengthen basic research of safety promotion and health promotion,and improve the rule of law system and supporting policies for workers in diverse forms of employment.
