Aiming to resolve the problems in construction industry, such as high work-related injury risks, flexible employment and high mobility of construction workers, China has implemented the “Tongzhou Program”, i.e. the specific social insurance expansion program for the construction industry workers. The program requires the construction industry to join the social insurance coverage in terms of each building project, exploring a new coverage pattern of dynamic real-name registration management. At present, the insured rate of building projects has exceeded 98%, and over 40 million person times have been brought under the work injury insurance coverage. The rights and interests of workers with work-related injuries have been effectively protected. In 2018, building projects related with railway, highway, water transport, water conservancy, energy and airport will also be covered by the work injury insurance system.
