Study On The Mechanism Of Work-related Injury Prevention In China

Modern work-related injury insurance system has three major functions: prevention, compensation and rehabilitation. As economy and society develops, and as work-related injury insurance system develops and its function expands, work-related injury prevention comes into being and develops gradually. Work-related injury prevention aims to protect the safety and health of workers, and ensure enterprises of normal production, which exerts great significance on economic development and social stability. Fulfilling the preventive function of work-related injury insurance fully and effectively has got more and more attention by numbers of country, and has become the tendency of industrial injury insurance.At present, China's economy is developing stably and persistently, but at the same time, the situation of work accidents and industrial diseases is very serious. The basic reason is that long-acting mechanism of production safety has not established yet in our country. Another important reason is that work-related injury insurance attaches importance to compensation but makes light of prevention so that the function of work-related injury prevention has not been brought into play effectively. So, to establish an effective preventive mechanism of work-related injury as soon as possible is imperative. Combining and reforming the work-related injury insurance system and the system of safety management, to build a scientific, reasonable and effective mechanism of work-related injury prevention so as to reduce work accidents and occupational diseases is the starting point of this graduation thesis.First of all, the paper illustrates some related theories of work-related injury prevention. It also applies relevant statistical data to analyse the grim situation of work-related accidents and occupational diseases in China.Secondly, the article points that work-related injury prevention in China has three major problems. That is the ambiguous law, imperfect regulatory system and defective rate mechanism. These negative factors has restricted the generation of preventive mechanism of work-related injury. Some industrial countries which have establishment a preventive mechanism have produced good results. So building the scientific and effective preventive mechanism of work-related injury now is essential.Then, the thesis discourses upon the theoretical and practical possibility of building the preventive mechanism of work-related injury in China from three aspects. The argument is the concept the trend of work-related injury insurance system, China's developmental level of work-related injury insurance system, and the current national legal and policy orientation.Finally, on how to build the preventive mechanism of work-related injury, the article proposes, it should combine work-related injury insurance system with safety management and occupational health management, and it should take six essential countermeasures, which are establishing the system of laws and regulations, reforming improving the managing and administrative system, adjusting the manner of assessment and surveillance, improving the incentive mechanism of rate, enhancing the mechanism of fund adjustment, and taking educating and training measures.
