Under the wave of digital economy, employees in traditional front-line production industries not only need to face a large amount of physical labor at work, but also need to adapt to the increasingly electronic working environment, which leads to a series of occupational diseases. Occupational diseases not only affect the physical and mental health of employees, but also affect production safety and work efficiency. Therefore, occupational diseases and their protection should be paid attention to and valued by our whole society.

一、What is the “occupational disease”?

Diseases caused by exposure to noise, dust, radioactivity, toxic and harmful substances in the daily work of workers in enterprises, institutions and self-employed organizations are called “occupational diseases”. Common occupational diseases include the following: pneumoconiosis, noise deafness, poisoning, occupational skin diseases, etc.

二、What are the hazards of occupational diseases?

1. Organ damage: Occupational diseases can cause damage to various organs, including lungs, auditory system, skin, liver, kidneys, etc. For example, pneumoconiosis can lead to pulmonary fibrosis and impaired respiratory function, noise-induced deafness can lead to permanent hearing loss, and toxic diseases can lead to liver and kidney dysfunction.

2. Chronic diseases: occupational diseases usually have the characteristics of long-term exposure and long incubation period, so they are often chronic diseases. This means that occupational diseases may not show symptoms until many years after exposure, and symptoms usually worsen gradually.

3. Decline in quality of life: occupational diseases bring great inconvenience and burden to patients’ lives. Patients who require long-term medical treatment and rehabilitation may have to pay high medical bills and may not be able to continue their original jobs, resulting in a loss of financial income.

4. Economic losses: Occupational diseases not only cause health losses to individuals, but also cause economic burdens to families and society. Patients who require long-term medical treatment and rehabilitation may have to pay high medical bills and may not be able to continue their original jobs, resulting in a loss of financial income.

5. Psychological impact: The occurrence of occupational diseases and the diseases have a non-negligible impact on the psychological state of patients. Patients may face psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and may even affect family and social relationships.
