Is Heatstroke A Work Injury For The Dabai?

Is Heatstroke A Work Injury For The Dabai?

This summer, the high-temperature weather across the country has made the outdoor space a barbecue grill.

Since June this year, the average number of high-temperature days in China has reached 5.3 days, which is 2.4 days more than the same period in normal years, breaking the record for hottest weather since 1961.

Recently, a 32-year-old courier in Guangzhou suddenly collapsed while working in a warehouse, and was diagnosed with heat stroke after being transferred to the hospital. After more than a month of rescue, although it is not life-threatening, the courier is still in a coma due to severe brain damage.

Cases of heatstroke among Dabai (disease prevention personnel) have also occurred recently. Wearing the protection suit in a hot environment will prevent the body's heat from dissipating. Because of the inconvenience of putting on and taking off, personnel will reduce the number of times to drink water which will significantly increase the probability of heat stroke.

If a Dabai suffers heatstroke during the PCR test, will it be considered an occupational injury?

The state stipulates that workers who suffer from heat stroke from working in hot weather and are diagnosed with occupational diseases shall receive compensation for the work-related injury. To be identified as a work-related injury, it must be diagnosed by an occupational disease diagnosis agency and confirmed as "occupational heatstroke" when he is sent to a doctor.

In a high-temperature environment, if you experience dizziness, headache, thirst, sweating, fatigue, palpitation, lack of concentration etc., you may be in the early stage of heatstroke. You should immediately move to a cool environment and seek medical aid. In addition, it is better to get some low sodium-containing beverages.
