Objective:To investigate epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors on dust-exposed working years of pneumoconiosis cases in Yantai.Methods:In January 2020, By Cluster sampling way, Using descriptive statistics to analyze dust-exposed working years of the reported 3307 new cases of pneumoconiosis from 2009 to 2019 in Yantai. Analyzing the variation trends by the chi-square trend test. Analyzing single fator by chi-square test. Using multiple classification Logistic Regression analysis to analyze multiple influencing factors.Results:The dust-exposed working age of pneumoconiosis cases decreased by years ( P<0.05) . The starting age of dust exposure of cases increased year by year, while positively correlated with the dust-exposed working age ( r=-0.217, P<0.05) . The years of dust exposure, starting age of dust exposure, industry, type of economy and scale of enterprise were main influence factors on the dust-exposed working age of pneumoconiosis cases. Conclusion:We should strengthen the management on prevention and control condition of pneumoconiosis in metal smelting and processing industry and privately-owned, small and micro enterprises, and pay attention to workers starting exposed to dust in the age of ≥28 years old.

Objective:
To understand influencing factors on workers' personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, and provide a basis for standardizing the PPE use in the city.
Methods:
The basic information of workers exposed to occupational hazards in a municipal area was imported into SPSS 18.0 and numbered sequentially in May 2018. A simple random sampling method was used to select 1 678 workers as the research object, and then a questionnaire survey was conducted from June to July 2018. In the valid questionnaires collected, workers who self-rated as "full-time correct use of PPE" and were approved by occupational health managers of employing units were included in the "correct use group" and others in the "incorrect use group". χ2 test was used to analyze the PPE use of different factors, and binary unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors.
Results:
1547 valid questionnaires were collected in this study, including 803 workers correctly used PPE at full time (51.9%) , and other workers never used or occasionally used PPE. There were statistical difference of PPE usage rate among workers of different sex, industry and wage type (
