I. Current Situation and Problems of Occupational Health
Occupational health is an important foundation and part of the construction of a healthy China, which is related to the overall health and well-being of workers, economic development and social stability. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to occupational health work. Since the implementation of the National Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Plan (2016-2020), all regions, relevant departments and units have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on occupational disease prevention and control, implemented a series of decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on occupational health work, carried out the Healthy China Action in depth, vigorously promoted the attack on pneumoconiosis prevention and control, further strengthened the source control, and significantly enhanced the prevention and control service capacity. The monitoring scope of occupational diseases and hazardous factors has been gradually expanded, the level of rescue and work-related injury insurance has been continuously improved, the system of regulations and standards for occupational disease prevention and control has been continuously improved, and the occupational health rights and interests of workers have been further protected.
With the full implementation of the strategy of healthy China and the deepening of the construction of safe China, the protection of workers’ health is facing new situations and requirements: First, the hazards of old and new occupational diseases are increasingly intertwined, the prevention and control of occupational diseases and work-related diseases are more difficult, problems such as work stress and musculoskeletal diseases are prominent, and infectious diseases such as novel coronavirus bring new challenges to occupational health; Second, the population and fields of occupational health management and service are constantly expanding, and the contradiction between the growing occupational health needs of workers and the unbalanced development of occupational health work is prominent; Third, the support services and support capabilities for occupational disease prevention and control need to be strengthened urgently, the information construction of occupational health lags behind, occupational health professionals are lacking, and the ability of occupational health supervision and service support cannot meet the new requirements of high-quality development; Fourth, the occupational health foundation needs to be further consolidated. Some local governments’ regulatory responsibilities and employers’ main responsibilities are not implemented in place. The occupational health management foundation of small and medium-sized enterprises is weak. Some employers’ workplaces have serious hazards such as dust, chemical poisons and noise, and there are weak links in the protection of workers’ occupational health rights and interests.

Interpretation of National Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Plan (2021-2025)
The "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period is the first five years for China to start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and March towards the goal of the second century. In accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on implementing the strategy of healthy China, the National Health and Wellness Commission and other members of the Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference on Occupational Disease Prevention and Control (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") have studied and formulated the National Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Plan (2021-2025) according to the Law on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases and the Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Objectives in 2035, which was reviewed and approved by the plenary meeting of the joint conference.
I. Basic Framework and Main Considerations of the Plan
The Plan consists of four parts: current situation and problems of occupational health, general requirements, main tasks and safeguard measures.
The Plan summarizes the achievements of occupational disease prevention and control during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, which are mainly manifested in the following aspects: the action of tackling key problems in pneumoconiosis prevention and control has achieved remarkable results, the source control has been further strengthened, the prevention and control service capacity has been significantly enhanced, the monitoring scope of occupational diseases and hazardous factors has been gradually expanded, the level of rescue and work-related injury insurance has been continuously improved, the system of laws and standards for occupational disease prevention and control has been continuously improved, and the occupational health rights and interests of workers have been further guaranteed.
The Plan analyzes the situation faced by the prevention and control of occupational diseases during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, the hazards of old and new occupational diseases are increasingly intertwined, and it is more difficult to prevent and control occupational diseases and work-related diseases; Second, the field of occupational health management and service for people has been expanding, and the contradiction of unbalanced development of occupational health work is prominent; Third, the ability of occupational health supervision, technical support and service guarantee has not fully adapted to the new requirements of high-quality development; Fourth, the supervision responsibility of some local governments and the main responsibility of employers are not in place, and the occupational health management foundation of small and medium-sized enterprises is weak.
The guiding ideology of "Planning" is: under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Plenary Sessions of the 19th National Congress, carry out in-depth occupational health protection actions, implement the five-word strategy of "prevention, treatment, management, education and construction", strengthen the responsibilities of the government, departments, employers and individual workers, and further consolidate the foundation of occupational health work.
