To investigate occupational health status in migrant female workers in artificial gem cottages in Guangxi and to provide reference evidence for drawing up countermeasures to protect migrant female workers from occupational hazards.
Two thousands and ninety five migrant female workers in artificial gem manufacturing cottages in Wuzhou City, Guangxi Province, were randomly recruited to participate in the investigation. The standardized occupational health questionnaires were used to collect the information of demographic characteristics, occupational exposure and medical symptoms by interviewing with persons.
Artificial gem manufacturing cottages in Wuzhou were mainly composed of family-workshops. There were only simple and crude hygienic facilities. Major occupational hazards included dusts, noise, vibration, hydrofluoric acid, and light stimulation. The mean age of workers was 30. Mean exposure duration was 5 years. There was no occupational health monitoring records for these workers in the past years. Major symptoms included back pain, eye discomfort, and headache. The incidence of discomfort symptoms increased with age.
Occupational health protection and monitoring in artificial gem manufacturing cottage, in Guangxi have not been performed. More effective occupational health education and administration need to implement in family-type handicraft manufacturing.
调查广西人工宝石加工点流动女工的职业健康状况，为制定流动女工职业危害防护对策提供参考依据。
随机抽取广西梧州市人工宝石加工点2095名流动女工进行调查。采用标准化职业健康调查问卷，通过询问的方式收集人口学特征、职业暴露及医学症状等信息。
梧州市人工宝石加工点主要为家庭作坊，卫生设施简陋。主要职业危害因素有粉尘、噪声、振动、氢氟酸和光刺激。工人平均年龄30岁，平均暴露工龄5年，既往均无职业健康监护记录。主要症状为背痛、眼不适和头痛，不适症状发生率随年龄增加而升高。
广西人工宝石加工点未开展职业健康防护与监护工作，家庭式手工业生产需加强有效的职业健康教育与管理。
