The age range of occupational groups is usually 18 ~ 60 years old. This age group is the main part of social groups, accounting for the largest proportion of the total population, so the health level of this age group directly determines the health level of the whole society. If the health status of these people is affected by occupational hazards, it will add many unstable factors to society, such as the huge burden of medical problems, and will also greatly reduce the health level of the whole society. Therefore, carrying out occupational health education and protecting the health of employees will play a positive role in promoting the overall health level of society.
