Editor’s notes: A number of workers from United Win (China), a Suzhuo based electronics manufacturer and a subsidiary of Wintek Corporation, the Taiwanese company which is a supplier for Apple, were poisoned while using the chemical “Hexane” to wipe Apple Iphones. This incident shows the weakness of the Law on Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases. The writer gives 3 points regarding how the Law should be changed. The first is to improve working conditions, second to simplify the steps in recognition and qualification of occupational injuries and finally to simplify the steps for recognising occupational diseases.
