A Study on the Status of Occupational Accidents and its Improvement in Small-Scale Business Sites

Kim Sung Ryul

The risk of occupational accident is not solely controlled or surmountable by employee’s cautions and efforts in today’s industrial society, thereby, the company’s efforts to improve the working environment is extremely important. However, a high cost is required to improve the working environment; therefore, it is unavoidable for a company facing the shortage of capacity available for the improvement if it’s a small-scale business. In addition, the most of small business sites are manufacturing businesses that carry physical labors and simple but repetitive labors in unsanitary environment, posing higher risk of occupational damages. For such reasons, the incidence of occupational accidents in a small business site tripled the large or medium-scale business sites, further indicating that small-scale business sites account for about 80% of the total incidence of occupational accidents in Korea. The gap of such labor conditions and working environment is tended to fix as time goes by, ultimately, a comprehensive countermeasure at the government level as to improve the reality of occupational environment is considered to be necessary. Also the related authority should seek measures to accurately identify the causes of accidents to seek countermeasures rather than giving the same disadvantage to small-scale companies. Regarding the current working process in the National Health Insurance Corporation, the number of cases recognized as occupational accidents accepted by the National Insurance Corporation is extremely lower than private insurance, therefore, the policy should seek an improvement to support employees damaged by occupational accidents to fully recover and get reemployment.
