Abstract: In recent years China has seen an increase in the number of occupational accidents as business privatization has led to the abandonment of earlier state‐run administrative and supervisory bodies. Since 1 January 2004 there have been new rules on occupational accident insurance which have brought a number of innovations. All firms are now required to have occupational accident insurance and to pay the relevant contributions, while workers, including itinerant workers, in a de facto employment relationship are entitled to benefits from such insurance. However, it will take a few years to prove whether these legislative improvements are really practicable; and the system still offers no effective protection of legal rights.
