ABSTRACT

Objective@#To analyze the relevant literature on China’s occupational health standard from 2001 to 2016, and to provide a basis for further improving China’s occupational health standard system.@*Methods@#Wanfang Data, CNKI, VIP, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Knowledge were used to retrieve relevant literature on China’s occupational health standard from 2001 to 2016. Information of the literature was collected, and type of literature, time and region, first author’s affiliation, and research funding were analyzed by bibliometrics.@*Results@#The relevant literature on China's occupational health standard was concentrated domestically and in the health system, and the number of documents was highly correlated with socio-economic conditions. The literature was dominated by the research on onsite application of occupational health (53.08%) , while there was less research on occupational health standard (11.78%) . The number of published articles and funding intensity were significantly different between centers for disease control and prevention at different levels.@*Conclusion@#It is suggested to accelerate the application of evidence-based medicine and systematic review in the development of occupational health standard, enhance the research ability of county/district-level disease control officers, assist them in summarizing and publishing their daily work experience, and give them appropriate funding, so as to promote the accumulation of knowledge in the field of occupational health.
