Participants' basic characteristics and awareness of occupational health knowledge were collected using the Chinese National Occupational Health Literacy Monitoring Questionnaire Among Key Populations, and the awareness of occupational health knowledge was analyzed. Results Totally 1 562 questionnaires were allocated, and 1 479 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.69%.
