The purpose of this study is to provide basic data contributing to development of policy establishment and education program to reduce the occurrence of industrial injury. 1,352 workers were randomly selected out of 50 companies in Korea from October 16, 1999 to November 4, 1999. Data were collected by self-reported questionnaire, and
data analysis was performed by frequency, percentage, and Chi-square test.
The results were as follows
1. The occurrence rate of industrial injury was 33.4% including minor wound. Injury occurred was analyzed by causal factors : lifting a heavy object or other strenuous activities-injury induced was the highest(25.6%), followed by colliding injury with stationary or moving objects (17.5%), falling or striking injury by flying objects(11.2%), amputating by a knife or saw (9.3%6), and stumbling injury over stairs or slipping injury on floor (9.1%).
2. Injury occurred was analyzed by anatomical area: finger injury was the highest (27.0%), followed by vertebrae, hand, and leg injury. Injury occurred was analyzed by type: contusion was the highest, followed by back pain, fracture, laceration, and abrasion.
3. Injury occurred was analyzed by occurrence season: injury in summer season was the highest, followed by spring, fall, and winter season. Injury occurred was analyzed by time zone injury during the mid-working hours was the highest, followed by at the beginning of working hours, at night working hours, before time out, and after the meal time.
4. Injury occurred was analyzed by worker´s recognized (subjective) cause: inappropriate working environment was the highest (16.9%), followed by psychological stress or emotion (13.1916), excessive working loads (7.8%).
5. Management after injury was analyzed by treatment type: out-patient treatment in hospitals or clinics was the highest (42.8%), followed by in-patient treatment in hospitals or clinics (21.5%), treatment in company health center (18.2%), no treatment (18.2%). Absenteeism after injury was analyzed by numbers of absences: no absence was the highest (61.1%), followed by over 30 days (12.4%), and 1 to 2 days (9.0%).
6. Industrial injury occurrence was analyzed by related variables: gender, age, length of working experience, academic background, marriage status, and type of
working shift system affected industrial injury occurrence.
Findings based on this study suggest as
follows
1. Analysis should be performed by classifying industrial types, and scopes to investigate industrial injury in details.
2. Various research methods should be developed to identify risk factors contributing to industrial injury and to take measures for industrial injury prevention.
3. Industrial injury management program that individualized to each worker should be developed.
