To comprehensively enhance technical support for the prevention and control of occupational diseases and consolidate the foundation of occupational health work at the grassroots level, and in accordance with the unified arrangements of the provincial and municipal health authorities, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) organized professionals from fields including occupational disease prevention, physico-chemical testing, and quality management from October to November this year to conduct on-site verification of the occupational hazard factor monitoring capacity of CDCs in all seven counties and districts across the city.
The verification process adopted multiple methods, including briefings, document reviews, on-site inspections, staff interviews, and practical skills assessments. In strict accordance with the Verification and Inspection Criteria for Occupational Hazard Monitoring Capacity of County- and District-Level CDCs, the assessment team carried out systematic evaluations and quantitative scoring across key areas such as organizational structure, staffing and position allocation, workplace environment, management of instruments, equipment and reference materials, establishment and operation of quality management systems, as well as practical capacity and performance of duties.
Following rigorous review, the occupational hazard factor monitoring institutions of all seven county- and district-level CDCs were found to meet relevant national standards and possess the technical capability required for occupational hazard factor monitoring. For weaknesses identified during the verification process, the expert panel provided on-site feedback and guidance, and put forward targeted improvement recommendations based on practical conditions.
