Discussion on Employee Health Checkups

Your view is completely correct. :Handshake, for your company to act in this way is a clear example of ignoring the rights of its employees. Is it xxx who is in charge of handling things at the company? ^_^ I wasn’t insulting anyone, okay o(∩_∩)o...

I suggest that your company send enough people to the safety zone to learn* learn*. . There are no such simple things in the world. I also doubt the regulatory authorities there – don’t you have any requirements regarding occupational health?

You can tell them like this: If they don’t get a medical check-up now, and an occupational disease is detected in the future. But this occupational disease was in its incubation phase before entering the company. So your company is just taking the blame for others. Of course, this is on the assumption that the same work has been done before.

There is a legal basis for conducting such assessments once a year; it has nothing to do with whether employees suffer from occupational diseases, and after all, all employees are insured! Occupational diseases aren’t something that can be contracted easily either; they need to be diagnosed by specialized institutions. If an occupational disease does occur, it creates problems for the company, as it becomes necessary to check whether the company has implemented proper protective measures in its operations. I haven’t examined the legal provisions and regulations in detail, but this is how I understand it!

Having a physical examination once a year is both an employee’s right and an obligation of the employer, moreover, there are relevant legal provisions to support this

①Pre-employment health checks are required by laws such as the Labor Law and the Law on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases； Basis: Article 32 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases states that \"for workers engaged in tasks involving exposure to occupational disease hazards, employers shall organize pre-employment, during-service, and post-employment occupational health examinations in accordance with the regulations set by the health administrative department of the State Council, and shall inform the workers of the results of such examinations truthfully.\" The costs of occupational health examinations are borne by the employer. ” ②Occupational diseases need to be officially recognized; it’s not something that can be claimed simply by the employees themselves. So it’s the company’s staff who are overthinking this ； (I’m not sure if this is correct?) ) Basis: Article 39 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases states that “the diagnosis of occupational diseases shall be carried out by medical and health institutions approved by the health administrative departments at or above the provincial level.” ” ③““The company isn’t responsible if no health check is done before starting work,” that statement is simply wrong. Does that mean the company is not held accountable just because I didn’t undergo a medical examination before joining the company, and only after starting work were health issues detected and identified as occupational diseases? (Is there such a legal basis?) ) Basis: Article 53 of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases states that \"if a worker is diagnosed with an occupational disease, but the employer has not participated in work-related injury social insurance in accordance with the law, the responsibility for covering the worker’s medical expenses and living needs lies with the last employer.\" ； If the final employer has evidence showing that the occupational disease was caused by the occupational hazards at the previous employer’s workplace, the previous employer shall bear the responsibility. ”

It is the obligation of the employer to arrange a health check-up for employees once a year; I’m not sure whether this is clearly stipulated in your company’s labor contract. You can seek assistance from your company’s union to resolve this issue.

Our factory does a good job in this regard: employees undergo health checks upon joining the company, once a year; exit health checks are optional – if someone doesn’t want to have them, they just need to sign an agreement

The Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases stipulates that occupational health examinations must be conducted before starting work, during employment, and upon leaving the job, with the results being communicated to workers in good faith. The costs of occupational health examinations are borne by the employer. Learning from ostriches by sticking their heads in the sand and pretending not to know anything is ridiculous and stupid! For businesses, compliance with laws and regulations incurs the lowest costs.

A medical examination for occupational diseases is **a requirement as well as a right of workers.
