Research shows that occupational accident and disease current situation is worth concerning. In 2009, there were 6200 occupational accidents nationally, leaving 6421 suffered, of which 550 people were dead and 1211 people were badly injured.

Though investment in labor safety and sanitation has increased, current situation of occupational accident has generally not been improved while accidents caused by employers account for 75%.

The research has given scientific grounds for the development of assessment measures for cost-effectiveness of labor safety and sanitation work in enterprises

The study also has made some recommendations:

Finalizing the measures and developing self-assessment procedures for enterprises which have been categorized by their specific characteristics.

Developing and testing self-assessment models for enterprises.
