lüll Management system of occupational diseases in Korea: statistics, report and monitoring system Rhee KY; Choe SWJ Korean Med Sci 2010[Dec]; 25 (Suppl): S119-26The management system of occupational diseases in Korea can be assessed from the perspective of a surveillance system. Workers' compensation insurance reports are used to produce official statistics on occupational diseases in Korea. National working conditions surveys are used to monitor the magnitude of work-related symptoms and signs in the labor force. A health examination program was introduced to detect occupational diseases through both selective and mass screening programs. The Working Environment Measurement Institution assesses workers' exposure to hazards in the workplace. Government regulates that the employer should do health examinations and working conditions measurement through contracted private agencies and following the Occupational Safety and Health Act. It is hoped that these institutions may be able to effectively detect and monitor occupational diseases and hazards in the workplace. In view of this, the occupational management system in Korea is well designed, except for the national survey system. In the future, national surveys for detection of hazards and ill-health outcomes in workers should be developed. The existing surveillance system for occupational disease can be improved by providing more refined information through statistical analysis of surveillance data.|*Environmental Monitoring/legislation & jurisprudence[MESH]|*Occupational Diseases[MESH]|*Occupational Health Services/legislation & jurisprudence[MESH]|*Occupational Health/legislation & jurisprudence[MESH]|*Population Surveillance[MESH]|Accidents, Occupational/statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Occupational Exposure[MESH]|Republic of Korea[MESH]|Workplace[MESH] |
