因工伤或患与工作有关的疾病给个人造成伤害,也给个人和国家造成巨大的经济损失。美国的《工作关联疾病指南》确定了职业病判定的原则和方法,为预防工伤和职业病及加强职业健康保护提供了思路,对我国具有借鉴意义。建议采取拓宽职业病覆盖范围,完善法律制度,加强职业健康知识宣传,强化职业健康统计等措施,提高我国职业健康保护水平。

Occupational injury or work-related diseases cause not only harm to individuals, but also great economic losses to both individuals and countries. A Guide to the Work.Relatedness of Disease specifies the principles and methods of occupational disease judgment and provides reference for the prevention of occupational injury and occupational diseases and the promotion of occupational health protection, which can be an example for China. This article suggested that China should extend the coverage of occupational diseases, improve legal system, strengthen the publicity of occupational health knowledge, and enhance occupational health statistics, so as to elevate the level of occupational health protection.
