Ningbo, Zhejiang Issued The First Local Regulations On Special Weather Labor Protection

Recently, the executive meeting of the Ningbo municipal government of Zhejiang province examined and approved the "special weather labor protection measures in Ningbo" (referred to as the "measures").

The "measures" will come into effect on May 1, 2015.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ningbo Safety Supervision Bureau, this is the first local regulation in China for the special weather protection for high temperature, low temperature, typhoon, rainstorm, road icing, strong convection and heavy air pollution.

In recent years, influenced by factors such as El Nino and La Nina phenomenon, all kinds of special weather appear more and more frequently, which brings great impact to the occupational safety and health of employees, and poses serious challenges to labor protection, which brings adverse consequences to the construction of harmonious labor relations and social and economic development.

In terms of labor protection for special weather, there is no systematic system in China.
