How to determine the specific retirement age? The Regulations point out that the specific retirement age should be scientifically determined by evaluating the driller's personal health, working environment, work intensity and expected working years. It should be pointed out that the adjustment of the retirement age of drillers is a long-term process, which requires the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and employees. The government should further improve relevant policies and regulations and increase the protection of drilling workers; Enterprises should implement relevant standards and systems to effectively protect the rights and interests of drilling personnel; Drillers should also strengthen their own quality construction and improve their working ability and adaptability.

Why should the retirement age of drillers be adjusted? Drilling is a high-intensity and high-risk job, which will bring potential risks to health in the long-term work process. How to better protect the health and personal rights of drilling workers and improve work efficiency and productivity are the main reasons for adjusting the retirement age of drilling workers. With the continuous development of research and application of work physiology at home and abroad, adjusting the retirement age of drilling workers can better reflect the principle of occupational protection, effectively protect the health and personal rights and interests of drilling workers and promote sustainable development.

The new retirement age of drilling workers stipulates the retirement age of new or re-employed drilling workers and the retirement age of active drilling workers increasing year by year. The government, enterprises and employees should work together to strengthen the protection of drillers, implement relevant standards and systems, improve their working ability and adaptability, and protect their health and personal rights and interests.
