OVERVIEW ON PRODUCTION SAFETY IN CHINA
Written by Dr. Iris Duchetsmann, Lisa Li and Cynthia
Zheng
Several production accidents have recently returned public
attention to the issue of production safety. During China's
prolonged period of rapid economic growth over the past decades,
legislation has constantly developed to regulate and protect the
workforce. Most recently, on 31 August 2014, China issued the
amended Production Safety Law ("2014 Production Safety
Law"). This would become the fundamental legislation for
production safety, and has come into force on 1 December 2014.
