Special operations refer to underground, high altitude, high temperature, particularly heavy physical labor or other operations harmful to health. The retirement age is 55 for men and 45 for women.

The confirmation of special types of work is generally the responsibility of the Pension and Work Injury Insurance Section of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.

The confirmation of special types of work is generally carried out according to the following procedures:

The first is the method of confirmation.

According to 1993, the special type of work determined by the former labor department or the competent department of this industry will be confirmed with the approval of the former labor bureau or the competent department of this industry. What needs to be emphasized here is that after the special types of work and the scope of application are determined, they can only be applied to enterprises belonging to this industry, and other industries and enterprises cannot refer to them.

The second is the declaration and review of confirmation. Enterprises that meet the requirements for setting up special types of work shall list the names of special types of work of their own units in detail and declare them. After the declaration is confirmed by the competent department of industry, it shall be reported to the Municipal Labor and Social Security Bureau for examination. After examination and approval, the county social security center is responsible for handling according to regulations.
