( 2003-10-01 11:39) (Xinhua)
China on Tuesday published a
regulation on determining workshop injuries, which will be effective on Jan. 1
of 2004.
Under the regulation issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the
employers of the employee injured on duty should apply to the local labor and
social security department for confirmation of workshop injuries on the same day
the workshop incident happens, while the time limit for those diagnosed with
occupational diseases is within 30 days of the diagnosis.
But the valid time limit for the application will be one year if the
applicants are the employees with factory injuries, or trade union
organizations, according to the regulation.
Labor and social security departments should send at least two public
servants to investigate the application, and determine within 60 days upon
receiving the application, it said.
The applicants may apply to the labor department for reappraisal or sue them
if they do not agree with the decisions made by the departments, it stipulates.
