Abstract:
Objective:To explore the incidence regularity and characteristics of pneumoconiosis among migrant workers in Shiyan city, and to provide a basis for making policies about pneumoconiosis prevention and treatment among migrant workers.
Methods:In September 2018, 338 cases of pneumoconiosis among migrant workers and 354 cases of pneumoconiosis among non-migrant workers were collected between 2013 and 2017. The proportions of pneumoconiosis types, the age and seniority of onset workers, the severity grade of pneumoconiosis, the type of pneumoconiosis, the type of work and regional distribution, etc. were analyzed.
Results:The age at onset of pneumoconiosisand the length of service of migrant workers and non-migrant workers in Shiyan city were significantly different (t=2.237, 3.208, P<0.05) . The proportion of pneumoconiosis stage was significantly different from that of non-migrant workers (χ2=47.897, P<0.05) , among migrant workers, the types of pneumoconiosis were mainly silicosis (308 cases, 91.1%) , coal worker's pneumoconiosis (29 cases, 8.6%) . The leading work types are rock drilling (115 cases, 34.0%) and blasting (105 cases, 31.1%) . The industry was mainly engaged in non-ferrous metal mining (205 cases, 60.7%) and coal (105 cases, 31.1%) . The area distribution involved each counties of Shiyan city, with Zhushan county (175 cases, 51.8%) and Yunxi county (125 cases, 37.0%) as the top two districts in number of cases. Of the cases of migrant workers, 89 cases (26.3%) had blood relationship with any others. There was no work-related injury insurance for migrant workers with pneumoconiosis.
