Abstract

This paper describes current work safety status in China and analyzes main features of it from socioeconomic viewpoint. Rapid economic speed has certain negative effect on work safety, much high proportion of industry such as mining, manufacturing and construction in national economy reflects high social risks, and low level of industrial workers, especially peasant workers increases human error risks and make it urgent and necessary to build a scientific and suitable education system to enhance work safety training. Different regions show obvious difference both in work safety and socioeconomic development, regional fatality rate in industrial accidents would decline with rise of regional economic income. Forceful work safety policies and measures made by the Government since 2002 have put the tendency toward higher frequency of accidents under effective control.
