Is the shift leader in coal storage and transportation in the coal chemical industry considered a special type of worker?
Special types of work refer to those that, as defined by the former **Ministry of Labor, involve working in underground environments, at heights, in high-temperature conditions, or in tasks requiring extreme physical effort, as well as in environments with toxic or harmful substances. It was specified that the scope of such special types of work would be determined by the relevant industry authorities or the labor department. Special types of work is not an official term; it is merely a commonly used expression. Therefore, standards or regulations do not have a formal definition for it. Special types of work are different from special operations. In 1991, Article 2 of the \"Regulations on the Management of Safety Technology Training and Assessment for Special-Type Workers\" issued by the former Ministry of Labor defined special-type work. **The \"Administrative Measures for the Training, Assessment and Management of Safety Techniques for Special-Type Workers\" issued by the Economic and Trade Commission in 1999 made some changes to the aforementioned definition, specifying that special-type work refers to those tasks that are prone to causing casualties and pose a serious threat to the safety of the operator himself/herself, other people, and the surrounding facilities (such as electrical work, metal welding, and cutting). Persons who carry out such tasks are known as special operation workers
