Abstract: Objective - To understand the status of occupational hazards in non coal mine mountains in Hunan Province. Methods - - A cross sectional survey was conducted on 432 non coal mining enterprises in Hunan Province in 2021. The field ， occupational health survey occupational disease hazard factors detection and occupational health monitoring data analysis were Results - carried out. Limited liability companies and private enterprises were the main economic types of non coal mining ，， mountains in Hunan Province accounting for 55.3% and 32.4% respectively. The size of enterprises was mainly small and ，； - micro enterprises accounting for 59.3% and 35.2% respectively 78.0% of the enterprises were in non metallic mining. The - ， over standard rates of silica dust and noise in workplaces were 17.1% and 29.4% respectively. The exposure rate of ，（P ） occupational hazard factor was 47.3%. The smaller the enterprise scale the higher the exposure rate <0.01 . The number of ，， people exposed to silica dust and noise was the largest with the exposure rate of 29.4% and 31.0% respectively.

The fully installed rate and effective rate of occupational disease ； prevention facilities were 6.9% and 1.6% respectively and the fully deployed rate and effective wearing rate of personal ， protective equipment were 11.1% and 6.2% respectively. The detection rates of occupational contraindications and suspected ， Conclusion occupational diseases in workers exposed to silica dust and noise were 2.0% and 2.9% respectively. The - ， occupational risks such as silica dust and noise are serious in non coal mine mountains of Hunan Province and the foundation of occupational health management is weak in small and micro enterprises.

Abstract: Objective　To retrospectively analyze the individual dose monitoring of radiation workers in Chongqing City from 2016 to 2020, so as to provide scientific reference for occupational health monitoring and radiation protection. Methods　Radiation workers who performed individual dose monitoring in Chongqing Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2016 to 2020 were selected as the research objects, and the monitoring data were collected and analyzed. Results　A total of 40 926 individuals were included in this study, with a total of 135 622 person-years. The average annual individual effective dose of radiation workers over the five-year period was 0.56 mSv. NR1 and NR5, the ratio of the number of works receiving annual individual does exceeding 1 and 5 mSv to the to the total monitor workers were 13.019% and 0.335%. The annual effective dose per capita in Chongqing City showed a trend of first decreasing, then increasing and then decreasing again over the study period, with significant differences between different years (F=971.754, P<0.001). Although there were some differences in the variation trend of annual effective dose among different occupational categories, the overall trend was decreasing year by year. The average annual effective dose of nuclear medicine and interventional radiology was relatively high, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The average annual effective dose of industrial flaw detection and accelerator operator in industrial application was relatively higher, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the per capita effective doses of different occupational categories of medical application in different years (F=8.892-682.852, P<0.001). Among them, the per capita annual effective doses of five occupational categories of medical application were the highest in 2016, and the per capita annual effective doses of interventional radiology were the highest in 2018 and 2019. Conclusions　The per capita annual effective dose of radiation staff in Chongqing has decreased year by year from 2016 to 2020, and remained at a relatively low level that meets national standards. The monitoring results suggest that the radiation staff of nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, industrial non-destructive testing and accelerator operator should give special attention to protect their occupational health and safety.
