Abstract:

In order to improve laws and regulations related to employees' occupational psychology under the background of occupational safety and health, first, the currently effective documents at the national and local level and in different effect stratum were collected and selected. Then, the time when the laws and regulations came into force and employees who they focused on were analyzed by employing the method of descriptive statistics. Furthermore, the scores of each document were acquired by using the method of quantitative assessment, and an international comparison with the EU countries and Australia was conducted. The results show that 178 laws and regulations related to manage employees' occupational psychology are obtained. Most of them focus on teachers, workers in enterprises and all the employees. In addition, more and more attentions has been paid to the significance of this topic since 2012 and 2009 at the national and local level separately. However, when it comes to promoting employees' occupational psychological health, the scores of laws and regulations are relatively low, and there are insufficient documents to manage employees' occupational psychology from the aspect of objectives and scope, exposure factors, problems or disorders and related outcomes, risk assessment and preventive actions. Then, by conducting international comparison, it can be found that the management of employees' occupational psychology lags behind. This issue is still in its infancy, the related system is still immature, and the laws and regulations need to be revised.

Key words: occupational safety and health, occupational psychology, laws and regulations related, exposure factor, risk assessment, preventive action
