Introduction

Introduction to overwork Overwork death means that the worker is in a working state that exceeds the average labor time and intensity of the society for a long period of time. The normal work law and the law of life are destroyed, the fatigue in the body accumulates and shifts to overwork, and the blood pressure rises. Increased arteriosclerosis eventually leads to death. According to China's national conditions, the definition of legal means that the employer violates relevant national laws and regulations, forcing or disguising the laborer to exceed the normal working hours and labor intensity, thus leading to the death of the laborer. Overwork death should be highly valued by the office community and placed in the same position as other diseases (such as heart disease, cancer, etc.) to prevent it. The longer the body continues to work or the greater the intensity, the heavier the degree of fatigue, the longer the time to eliminate fatigue, and the active rest can not only protect the body from suffering or fatigue, but also greatly improve work efficiency. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.0001% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: insomnia depression

Cause

Cause of overwork

Environmental factors (80%):

Overworked death is because the working hours are too long, the labor intensity is too heavy, and the psychological pressure is too great, resulting in a exhausted sub-health state. As a result of heavy accumulation, it will suddenly cause the acute deterioration of the potential diseases of the body, and the treatment is not timely and life-threatening. According to reports: About 10,000 people in Japan die each year because of overwork. According to the World Health Organization survey statistics, there are records of prevalence of labor deaths in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia.

Disease factors (20%):

Relevant data show that the five diseases that directly contribute to "overwork death" are: coronary artery disease, aortic aneurysm, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy and cerebral hemorrhage. In addition, digestive diseases, kidney failure, and infectious diseases can also lead to "overwork death."

Prevention

Overwork prevention

Overwork death should be highly valued by the office community and placed in the same position as other diseases (such as heart disease, cancer, etc.) to prevent it.

1, according to the biological clock

The so-called biological clock refers to the circadian rhythm inherent in various organs in the human body. People should arrange their work according to their own physiological rhythms.

2, three meals nutritional balance

When we arrange three meals a day, we must have a variety of varieties, and we must balance the proportions between the varieties. At the same time, under the premise of maintaining the principle of balance, certain adjustments are made to nutrients according to the physiological characteristics of each age group in order to better promote physical health. Nutritionists should eat chicken, beans, spinach, fish, strawberries, bananas, oatmeal, kelp, skimmed yogurt, etc. at all ages because they are rich in energy and can help you avoid overwork injuries. Ensure that the engine is operating at high efficiency.

3, learn to take the initiative to rest

The longer the body continues to work or the greater the intensity, the heavier the degree of fatigue, the longer the time to eliminate fatigue, and the active rest can not only protect the body from suffering or fatigue, but also greatly improve work efficiency. Specifically, you can start from the following points: First, take a break before taking important time before important activities. If you take an exam, contest, performance, host an important meeting, long-distance travel, etc., you should take a break. Second, to ensure 8 hours of sleep a day, Sunday should be a "full break", play easily and happily, lay the foundation for the next week's intense, busy work. Third, do a good job throughout the day, in addition to work, meals and sleep, you should also clearly specify the number of breaks, time and manner within a day, do not arbitrarily change or cancel. Finally, pay attention to and take care of the rest of the work, make full use of this short period of time to outdoor activities, or take a deep breath, or enjoy music to relax your body and mind.

4, regular physical examination

An annual physical examination, including an electrocardiogram (exercise stress test) and other tests related to the heart, for early detection of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and especially recessive coronary heart disease.

5, work and rest

Learn to regulate life, short-term travel, visit places of interest; climb mountains and open fields; breathe fresh air, increase mental energy, and let nervous nerves relax.

6, adhere to reasonable movement

Exercise regularly to increase physical fitness, walk 4 to 5 times a week, 30 to 45 minutes each time, or 3 to 4 times a week for mild outdoor activities, 30 minutes each time. People who exercise regularly, muscle atrophy and decreased strength can be delayed for 10 to 20 years, and blood pressure can maintain a stable normal level. Exercise can delay the aging of nerve cells and help waste discharge, thus playing a role in preventing cancer and cancer. Long-term adherence to fitness running and freehand gymnastics, the body's metabolism and work ability will be strengthened.

7, keep a good mood

Psychological overwork - disappointment, anxiety, fear, depression, etc. can cause people to lose energy. When a person feels annoyed, depressed, and anxious, his body's blood pressure and oxidation will decrease, and when people are happy, the whole metabolism will improve. Depression, remorse, resentment, anxiety, and sorrow are the internal factors that cause fatigue. Therefore, to prevent fatigue and maintain sufficient energy, you must always maintain a happy mood, be a broad hobby and interest, and always maintain a positive attitude towards life.

Complication

Overwork death complications Complications, insomnia, depression

1. Great damage to the physical and mental health of workers. Overtime work is too long, labor intensity is too heavy, psychological pressure is too large, and lightly causes the health of workers to be damaged, and the laborers die. According to reports, China has become one of the countries with the longest working hours in the world. The per capita labor time has surpassed that of Japan and South Korea, and 600,000 people die each year. The 2006 Talent Blue Book "China Talent Development Report" also pointed out that 70% of Chinese intellectuals are on the verge of "overwork death." "Overwork death" is a disaster for individual employees or employees' families; for the country, it is a waste of human resources.

2. Aggravated the contradiction between supply and demand in China's labor market. The overtime culture of the enterprise has led to an employee working for more than ten hours a day. Compared with the legal maximum working hours in China, it is equivalent to one person doing the workload of two people, which directly leads to the reduction of the demand for jobs, in disguise. Increased the supply of labor in China. On the one hand, many people can't find a job. On the one hand, a large number of employees are working in an "overdraft" way. It can be seen that the phenomenon of overwork death is inconsistent with the current situation that China's labor supply is greater than demand, which has aggravated the contradiction between supply and demand in China's labor market.

3. Not conducive to the long-term development of the company.

Examine

Overwork check

Prolonged or recurrent fatigue lasts for more than 6 months.
