The definition of work-related injury in Zhejiang Province is also applicable to the re-employed interns who can participate in the insurance.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Hangzhou, October 3 (Reporter Yue Deliang) Recently, the Standing Committee of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Congress responded to social hotspots in the form of local laws and regulations, and clearly defined four kinds of injuries caused by participating in study, education, training and cultural and sports activities organized or arranged by employers as work-related injuries. Moreover, re-employed personnel and interns can participate in work-related injury insurance, which is also applicable.

　　In practice, it is the work reason that has great differences in the identification of work-related injuries. Zhuang Jiannan, deputy director of the Legal Affairs Committee of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Congress, said that the local reflection on the current work-related injury identification is not clear enough, which leads to inconsistent understanding and practices on whether treatment, rest, education and training are work-related injuries in practice.

　　The Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance in Zhejiang Province, which was recently reviewed and approved by the Standing Committee of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Congress, points out that an employee is deemed to have suffered from work-related injuries in any of the following circumstances, except for the injuries suffered by an employee due to intentional crime, drunkenness or drug abuse, self-mutilation or suicide: First, in special jobs such as working hours and driving public transport, the sudden illness is delayed due to the special position, and the illness is aggravated, and he dies after being rescued, or completely loses his ability to work; Second, the injuries suffered during the continuous working process and in the workplace due to necessary life and physiological activities such as eating, taking breaks and going to the toilet; The third is the injury suffered by participating in the study, education, training and cultural and sports activities organized or arranged by the employer; The fourth is the injury suffered by participating in the medical rest organized by the trade unions at all levels or the personnel departments at or above the county level in accordance with the regulations, except for the medical rest arranged by the employees themselves at the expense of the unit.

　　For two groups, namely, retired employees and interns, the "Regulations" stipulate that with the approval of the provincial social insurance administrative department, cities and counties can try out students from vocational technicians and other schools to participate in work-related injury insurance during the internship period and those who have exceeded the statutory retirement age during their continued employment.

　　By the end of December 2016, 1.04 million employers and 18.81 million employees in Zhejiang Province had participated in industrial injury insurance. According to statistics, more than 40% of the labor dispute cases in the province are industrial injury disputes.
