The South Korean criteria for occupational diseases were amended in July 2013. These included formaldehyde as a newly defined carcinogen, based on cases of "leukemia or nasopharyngeal cancer caused by exposure". This inclusion was the Internal Agency Research Cancer classification, which classified definite human carcinogen 2004 and leukemia 2012.
We used a representative sample of the working population Korea to compare occupational health problems employees and self-employed individuals who performed different types work. The Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) 2014 was conditions safety (OSH) issues performing Relative paid employees, were older, more likely perceive their as bad, had less education, longer hours, exposure workplace ergonomic hazards, musculoskeletal problems, poorer mental well-being. those "mental work" or...
We evaluated the physical and mental health problems of waged workers in Korea who had different classes occupation.We used data from Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2017) to examine 22,788 were employees categorized these into 5 occupational classes."Unskilled manual workers" more likely be older, less educated, have lower monthly income, work fewer hours per week. Among men relative "managers professionals" (reference group), "skilled physician-diagnosed...
Abstract Background Koreans typically work long hours. We herein analyze the relationship between level of working hours and extent stress complaints. Methods analyzed complaints with respect to worked per week, as reported by 7,075 subjects, using data from 2006 First Korean Working Conditions Survey. Subjects were categorized those fewer than 40 hr week (short hours, SWH); 40–47 (intermediate IWH); 48–59 (long LWH); or at least 60 (very VLWH). Results Male subjects IWH had an odds ratio...
In Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, cerebrovascular cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) caused by overwork are recognized government as work-related. These three countries the only in world that officially recognize CVDs psychosocial factors (e.g., overwork) work-related (WR-CVDs), compensate employees accordingly. The present study compared similarities differences among recognition of overwork-related Taiwan. criteria which WR-CVDs identified very similar countries. However, interval surveyed...
