Analysis on the characteristics of occupational pneumoconiosis in coal miners from 2021 to 2022
Objective To analyze the occupational health examination status and characteristics of occupational pneumoconiosis among coal miners. Methods Screening the data of 5588 cases of coal miners recorded in the Center's "Medical Examination Software Input System" and the "Occupational Disease and Health Hazard Monitoring Information System" from 2021 to 2022,analyzing the occupational health examination of different types of coal miners,the detection of occupational pneumoconiosis by phase,the distribution of occupational types and age of onset of occupational pneumoconiosis between coal miners and tunnelers of the same working age. Analysis was made on the occupational health examination status,abnormal status of occupational health examination,detection of occupational pneumoconiosis in different stages,distribution of occupational pneumoconiosis types and age of onset among different types of coal miners,as well as the proportion of occupational pneumoconiosis among coal miners and excavation workers with the same length of service. Results From 2021 to 2022,among the 5588 coal miners,large coal mines had the highest number of physical examinations,with a total of 4206 cases,followed by small and medium-sized coal mines,with a total of 1382 cases. A total of 5588 coal miners underwent physical examinations and 256 suspected cases of occupational pneumoconiosis were detected. After diagnosis by medical and health institutions diagnosed with occupational diseases,a total of 203 cases of occupational pneumoconiosis were ultimately diagnosed,including 95 cases in Phase Ⅰ,80 cases in Phase Ⅱ,and 28 cases in Phase Ⅲ;among 203 cases of occupational pneumoconiosis,excavation workers were the most common,with a total of 88 cases (43.35%);among 203 cases of occupational pneumoconiosis,the most common occurrence was over 10-20 years of service,with a total of 97 cases (47.78%);the tunneling workers have the highest proportion of occupational pneumoconiosis among the same length of service. Conclusion From 2021 to 2022,the risk of occupational pneumoconiosis among coal miners is relatively high. Employers need to strengthen the prevention and management of occupational pneumoconiosis to protect the health of workers.
