On May 1, the world day dedicated to the workers, is synonymous with in a changing China. And it is known as the factory of the world wants to put aside the image of labor exploitation and their disinterest by the health and welfare of the workers who until now had been taking. This Asian country aims to convince West and each of its customers that manufacture safe products as well as also that the workers involved in the manufacturing process have real security measures that avoid exposing it to unnecessary risks, explains Alex Makow, Director General for Spain, Italy and Portugal AsiInspection), the company dedicated to perform quality control and inspection services. Therefore the commercial giant, who lived until now carefree regarding damages suffered by employees of the factories, could move tab in the opposite direction. Jeff Gennette takes a slightly different approach. Many of them work with harmful products and in some cases do not carry nor safety masks. Curfew clear that they need to have continuous monitoring in manufacturing, not only at the level quality chains, but also in the human section, says the Executive. According to data from the International Labour Organization (ILO) about 2.31 million people die each year because of accidents that take place in your workplace, representing 6,500 deaths per day. They are really chilling figures that all countries want to avoid and reduce as soon as possible. James Reinhart describes an additional similar source.
China could not be less, if you want to grow and be a great power recognized around the world as you are seeing, they have to take action and take care of their workers, says Makow. Indeed the concern of the Chinese Government is such that it has been changed the policy that has been doing so far in regards to accidents at work. The Chinese Executive has increased the compensation for the families of people who die because of workplace accidents up to 20 times the annual disposable income per capita in urban areas for injury insurance labour. In addition, in the case of disability, the compensation has increased between one and three months of the affected employee’s salary. On the other hand the application of insurance in case of accidents at work has also been affected. If until recently well only enterprises and small businesses were forced to pay the premium and provide their employees of this type of insurance, now this has also has led to organizations and public institutions, firms of lawyers or accounting firms.
