Abstract :
Occupational safety and health (OSH) management has been known as a crucial way to maintain human resources and thus achieve sustainable management. In an era of change, technology has made many jobs more simple and efficient, yet it has also brought new challenges to OSH management. In this paper, the author uses OSH management in China as an example to show how technology affected OSH management, using data from 1950-2010. The purpose of this article is to examine how technology has affected China´s OSH management and also to suggest several alternative approaches to maintaining a safe workplace. A study of China´s data shows that there is a link between OSH management and some other factors. Technology, government regulation and enterprise responsibility are all relative factors. The article presents China´s example of OSH management using industrial injury data that illustrate mistakes to avoid and the affirmative method to take when developing a sustainable enterprise in this changing era.
