Each construction worker in the city will have a personal information card soon, which is a new measure to be adopted this year by the administrate city's construction workers.

The cards record worker's personal information, current employment status and special skills. The information will be collected in a labor force administrative system that will be on trial this July.

The card is initially tested in five of the city¡¯s districts, including Huangpu, Xuhui, Hongkou, Yangpu and Pudong new area. It will be fully popularized on March 1. By the end of June, at least 400,000 construction workers will have the card, which conveniences the contractors paying them comprehensive insurance.

The construction and management department can supervise the project, protect workers' legal rights and interests, as well as update their information much easier based on the comprehensive system.

The new measure brings the labor hiring service to a standardized level.
