Pneumoconiosis ranks first in occupational diseases in Jinan

From April 25 to May 1, it is the occupational disease prevention law publicity week. The reporter learned that with the implementation of the Occupational Disease Prevention Act, the rate of attending occupational diseases has greatly increased and the number of patients has doubled. At present, pneumoconiosis still ranks first in occupational diseases in the provincial capital. It is understood that the number of occupational diseases has increased from 115 in the original to 132, but cervical spondylosis, which has a relatively high public demand, has not yet been incorporated into occupational diseases. AIDS is also an occupational disease, but it is limited to health care workers and the police.

Pneumoconiosis patients account for occupational diseases

About 80%

On April 29, Zhang Zhiyuan, a pneumoconiosis patient, arrived at the Jinan Hospital on time for treatment. Since being diagnosed as pneumoconiosis 2 years ago, Zhang Zhiyuan has been undergoing standardized treatment in the hospital.

"Now the number of occupational disease diagnoses is no small increase." As the only city-level occupational disease diagnosis and medical institution in Jinan City, Jinan Hospital is responsible for occupational disease diagnosis. Gu Xiaoxin, director of occupational disease in the second district, introduced that the diagnosis of occupational diseases has strict regulations and needs to be diagnosed in designated hospitals. “Although the treatment can be in other hospitals, the diagnosis generally needs to be in fixed-point medical institutions.”

Gu Xiaoxin introduced that with the implementation of the Occupational Disease Prevention Act, the employer’s occupational disease protection is in place, occupational disease and physical examination are also more standardized, and the number of occupational patients attending the clinic has increased accordingly. “Two to three new cases of occupational diseases were diagnosed in the previous month. Now we need to diagnose 7 cases a month."

Pneumoconiosis still ranks among many occupational diseases. "Pneumoconiosis should account for 70-80%, and then there is occupational chemical poisoning, which can account for about 15%." Gu Xiaoxin analyzed that this has a certain relationship with the characteristics of pneumoconiosis. "Pneumoconiosis is different from other occupational diseases. Once the disease is diagnosed, continuous treatment is needed and the number of patients is accumulated, and if the general treatment like poisoning is good, it is no longer an occupational disease."

AIDS is also an occupational disease

Medical staff and police only

“Our occupational diseases here are different from what we commonly call occupational diseases. Only when they are included in the relevant national catalogs,” Gu Xiaoxin said, diseases that are not listed in the national catalog cannot be classified as occupational diseases.

At the beginning of this year, the National Health and Family Planning Commission and other departments jointly issued a new version of the "Occupational Diseases Classification and Catalogue." The new list consists of 115 categories of the original ten categories and has been adjusted to ten categories and 132 species. AIDS is also classified as an occupational disease, but it is limited to health workers and the people's police.

“Every day in the face of computer work, mouse hand, cervical spondylosis are out, is considered occupational disease ah? There is compensation?” Many people have such questions. "At present, there are still no such diseases in the catalog." Gu Xiaoxin said, "These diseases can only be referred to as occupation-related diseases or occupational diseases, and occupational diseases are not prescribed."
