[Overview of the regulatory framework for occupational health technical service institutions in China]

The quality of occupational health technical services directly affects the accuracy of occupational disease prevention and control and the scientific basis of prevention and control decisions. With the further implementation of the "Healthy China" strategy, the supervision of occupational health technical service institutions is undergoing a transition from "heavy pre-approval" to "strengthened in-process and post-process supervision". This paper systematically reviews and compares the relevant laws, regulations, departmental rules, and technical standard systems pertaining to occupational health technical services, and thoroughly examines the issues and deficiencies in the structure of the regulatory framework, grassroots law enforcement capacity, and standard update mechanisms. The study found that China had established a full-process regulatory framework covering five categories of occupational health technical service institutions, with breakthroughs in areas such as "Internet+supervision" and credit-based regulation. However, prominent problems remained in the establishment of regulatory policies, grassroots supervision and enforcement, the updating of technical standards, and industry self-discipline. Therefore, this paper recommends comprehensive measures including the establishment of regulatory system, enhancing grassroots capacity, accelerating the iterative updating of technical standards, and promoting collaborative governance. It also calls for accelerating the development of smart regulation and credit systems to strengthen the legal and technical safeguards for the health rights and interests of workers.
