Occupational disease hazard monitoring and research in Pingxiang City from 2020 to 2022
Objective This study was aimed at studying the monitoring status of occupational hazard factors in Pingxiang City from 2020 to 2022.Methods Monitoring data for occupational hazard factors in 307 factories were collected from 2020 to 2022 by the Pingxiang Center for Disease Control and Prevention.Occupational hazard monitoring included silica dust,noise,cement dust,coal dust,and limestone dust.Analysis indicated that the monitoring of occupational hazard factors exceeded the standard in various industries from 2020 to 2022.Results From 2020 to 2022,of the 307 occupational-disease-hazard monitoring factories in Pingxiang city,167 were qualified,with a pass rate of 54.40%.A total of 3 887 moni-toring sites were set up,463(11.91%)of which exceeded the standard.Silica dust,noise,and cement dust were the top three occupational disease hazard factors exceeding the standard rate,and had rates of 8.29%,15.36%,and 10.33%respectively.The over-standard rate of occupational hazard factors in the glass manufacturing industry was 17.02%.The over-standard rate of occupational hazard factors in the manufacturing of gypsum,cement products,and similar products was 19.94%.The over-standard rate of the cement,lime,and gypsum manufacturing industry was 13.24%,and that of occupational hazard factors in the soil,sand,and stone mining industry was 19.48%.Conclusions The total monitoring rate of occupational hazard factors in Pingxiang City from 2020 to 2022 was 11.91%.Silica dust,noise,and cement dust were the main occupational hazard factors.Relatively high occupational hazard factors were observed in glass manufacturing;manufacturing of gypsum,cement products,and similar products;cement,lime,and gypsum manufacturing;and soil,sand,and stone mining industries.
