Abstract

We investigate how smokers and drinkers have influenced on self-reported risk assessment and workplace injuries, using the Korean Working Conditions Survey. Our empirical results indicate that persistent smoking habit raises workers' job risk assessments and work injuries significantly. Also, former smokers notice relatively higher risk assessments in various work activities, but they are less likely to affect work injuries. More frequent drinking behavior leads to a positive effect of job risk perception and workplace injuries. Regular smoking with frequent drinking for high income classes, however, have significantly reduced the chance of work injuries. Furthermore, establishing smoking-designated area at the workplace makes workers reduce workplace accidents positively. Therefore, the network effect of smoking and drinking behaviors in private circle levels is suggested to extend into public and constructive activies at the workplace levels for sharing useful and productive information, which will eventually reduce workplace injuries dramatically.

근로자들이 흡연과 음주행위를 통해서 주관적으로 느끼는 자신의 업무상 위험판단과 산업재해 발생에 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 실증분석한다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 흡연자는 주관적 업무상 위험성은 높고 객관적 산업재해 발생도 높은 반면, 금연자는 주관적 위험은 높게 평가되지만 산업재해 발생은 낮다. 흡연구역 설치로 인해 흡연근로자들의 주관적 업무위험판단과 산업재해 발생이 하락하는 효과가 있으며, 여성보다 남성 근로자에게 효과가 뚜렷하다. 남성 흡연자들의 인적 네트워크 구축으로 인한 효과가 크게 나타나는 것으로, 사업장 내에 다양한 의사소통의 장치가 마련되어 업무의 위해요소와 산업재해 가능성을 줄일 수 있는 선순환구조가 정착되어야 한다.
