ABSTRACT
Objective: To understand the distribution and characteristics of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning reported online by Jiangsu Province, and to track the final diagnosis of suspected cases. Methods: The suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning cases in Jiangsu Province reported online from 2014 to 2018 were collected as the survey objects. Based on the reporting of the Occupational Disease Report Card from January 1, 2014 to November 5, 2019, the distribution characteristics and reporting institutions of suspected cases and final confirmed cases were analyzed. Results: From 2014 to 2018, 312 cases of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning were reported online in Jiangsu Province. There were significant differences in the number of online reported cases of occupational chronic lead poisoning, online reported cases of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning and confirmed cases of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning in different years (P<0.05) , especially in 2015. Among the suspected occupational lead poisoning cases reported online, 236 cases (75.6%) were male, mainly distributed in the manufacturing industry, and 246 cases (79.1%) were operators. All the suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning cases reported online were concentrated in private enterprises, 229 cases (73.4%) in small and medium-sized enterprises. The top three cities were Suqian with 111 cases (35.6%) , Yangzhou with 79 cases (25.3%) and Huai'an with 50 cases (16.0%) . From 2014 to 2018, 19 suspected cases of occupational chronic lead poisoning were finally confirmed in Jiangsu Province, with a diagnosis rate of 6.1%. Conclusion: The majority of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning cases reported online in Jiangsu Province are men, manufacturing and small and medium-sized enterprises, and the final diagnosis rate of suspected occupational chronic lead poisoning cases reported online is low.

The highest detection rates of suspected occupational diseases were mining industry (2/1225, 0.16%) , collective economic enterprises (4/2622, 0.15%) and small enterprises (88/100 357, 0.09%) . The highest detection rates of occupational contraindications were rental and business services (16/1 320, 1.21%) , private economic enterprises (1 190/103 960, 1.14%) and small enterprises (995/100 357, 0.99%) . In addition, workers exposed to dust had the highest detection rate of suspected occupational diseases (57/46 740, 0.12%) and workers exposed to physical factors had the highest detection rate of occupational contraindications (1207/69 567, 1.74%) . There were significant differences between the detection rate of suspected occupational disease and occupational contraindication in different industries, economic types, enterprise scale and occupational hazards (P<0.05) .@*Conclusion@#The occupational health surveillance of toxic and harmful workers in Ningbo has been strengthened year by year, attention should be paid to small, private enterprises, and strengthen the supervision of occupational health and further standardize the work of occupational health examination so as to effectively protect the health of the occupational population.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the status of occupational health surveillance to workers exposed to toxic environment in a city, so as to provide scientific basis for strategy of occupational diseases prevention.@*Methods@#In January 2017, collecting the data of on-the-job poisonous and harmful workers occupational health surveillance in the city from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2016 in China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, the trend of occupational health monitoring in the city was analyzed, and the differences between diverseeconomic types, enterprise scale, industry nature and hazard factors were analyzed and compared.@*Results@#The occupational health examination rate showed an overall upward trend in workers exposed to dust in the city from 2010-2016 (t=3.607, P<0.05) , and the detection rate of occupational contraindications was on the rise in workers exposed to chemical factors (t=3.071, P<0.05). The detection rate of occupational contraindications and suspected occupational diseaseswere significant in different economic types, enterprise scale, industry nature and hazard factors (P<0.05). The detection rate of occupational contraindications was the highest among the large enterprises (1.24%) , the manufacturing industry (0.84%) and the state-owned economy (1.49%). The detection rate of suspected occupational diseases (0.04%) and occupational contraindications (1.15%) were the highest in the physical factors.@*Conclusion@#Occupational health monitoring in the city is not optimistic. It is necessary to focuson the occupational health care of manufacturing practitioners, raise the detection rate of suspected occupational diseases, and standard the occupational health check work to protect the occupational health.
