In Chinese labor law, worker protection is the employer’s obligation to meet workers’ occupational health and safety needs.

National regulations require applying science-based technical knowledge to eliminate hazardous conditions that put workers’ safety or health at risk, and specifically to prevent accidents or underlying causes of occupational illnesses. The rules divide worker protection measures into several categories: general worker protection, sanitation, protection for women & minors, work time, and holiday schedules.
