This research aims to generalize the conceptual basis of precariousness of employment, study the factors and scale of unsustainable of employment in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The concept of precariousness of employment is formed in social and economic studies about 40 years ago, but objective and subjective conditions and forms of unsustainable employment existed before. This study proposes a classification of forms of precariousness of employment on 16 criteria: the duration and timing of agreements, contract terms, the nature of income; the degree of labor autonomy; the level of formality; the level of openness; the level of vulnerability; the conditions of growth of qualification; the level of flexibility; the level of stability; regularity; the severity of the danger of work; in relation to the workplace; the quality of employment, the level of social security. In this research highlighted factors (globalization, demography, migration, structure factors, shadow and informal economy, social development and living standards, unemployment), and systematized certain trends of precariousness of employment, channels and means, forms of manifestation. The empirical analysis identified of the labor potential of the Eurasian countries and new quantitative estimates of the levels of unsustainable employment in the Eurasian Economic Space.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to introduce the assessment model for industrial accidents prevention policy. Methods: 10 years of industrial accidents data are explored through EDA approach. Case control study is tried in order to assess the effectiveness of the measures taken by Korea Safety and Health Agency, Civilian, and 'Ministry of Employment and Labor'. Propensity score matching is used to match the characteristics of the two groups compared, and then case control study is again conducted. Next, logistic and Poisson regressions are used to assess the risk factors. Results: According to case control study involvement of 'Korea Safety and Health Agency' and 'Ministry of Employment and Labor' were not effective, but Civilian was. Propensity score matching leads to the same conclusion. Poisson regression reveals the impact of the risk factors on the industrial accidents. Industrial accidents occur more often as the number of employees grows. Mining, farming, fishing, 'transportation storage and telecommunication' and forestry have a higher level of industrial accidents but service industry has a lower level. It is odd that more involvement of Korea Safety and Health Agency, Civilian, and Ministry of Employment and Labor means more industrial accidents. Conclusion: 'Korea Safety and Health Agency', Civilian, and 'Ministry of Employment and Labor' seem to visit those industries with more industrial accidents.

Objectives: We analyzed the problems that work environment measurement results don't lead to workplace improvement in the Work Environment Measurement System to propose an alternative. Methods: We reviewed reports and articles written by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency and academic circles to identify the problems in the current Work Environment Measurement System and suggest an alternative. Results: One of the reasons that the Work Environment Measurement has not resulted in workplace improvement is that there were no proper regulating systems for managing the workplace improvement plans or improvement results. Moreover, there are not enough professional manpower in ministry of labor to evaluate the improvement plans and results from the Work Environment Measurement. Therefore, all of the workplace whose Work Environment Measurement results exceed the occupational exposure limit (OEL) should be managed by regional ministry of labor, and outside experts and new system for verifying improvement are needed. Conclusions: To accomplish the purpose of Work Environment Measurement, it is necessary to improve the work environment according to the results of Work Environment Measure. For this, it is necessary for the government to manage the fulfillment of workplace improvement plans and for measurement agencies to secure expertise.

Objectives: Since the material safety data sheets(MSDS) submission and non-disclosure review system was introduced in January 2021, the implementation status of MSDS for chemical manufacturing and importing workplaces being supervised for the first time. Methods: A supervisory team consisting of two labor inspectors and one from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency directly visited the selected workplaces to check compliance with the MSDS system as a whole. Results: As a result of supervising 214 chemical substance manufacturing/importing workplaces, a total of 241 violations of the law were found in 121 workplaces, or 57% of them. In response, the Ministry of Employment and Labor took legal action on 8 cases in 6 locations, imposed a fines totaling of 249.69 million won on 120 chemical handling workplaces, and took action to correct the violations immediately. Conclusions: Major violations were in the order of non-request for warning signs, non-submission of MSDS, non-execution of MSDS training, and non-posting of MSDS. This shows the reality that employers who handle chemical substances are sufficiently communicating chemical information to workers. In the future, the government will actively implement preparation and submission support and system guidance for the implementation of the MSDS system, while making efforts to ensure that the MSDS system works well in the field through thorough on-site supervision in the future.

연구목적:고용노동부는 근로자의 산업재해 및 건강장해 예방을 위한 업무를 수행하는 주무부처로서 그간 자연재난 중 폭우로 인한 근로자의 안전을 위해 노력을 해 왔으나, 폭우로 인한 사업장 재난을 막기에는 역부족이였다. 이에 따라, 고용노동부에서 폭우재난을 대응했던 실제 사례를 분석하고 대응체계 개선을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구방법: 본부·지방관서·한국산업안전보건공단에서 재난업무를 수행하는 담당자로 구성된 내부 전문가집단과 교수, 컨설팅 대표, 타부처 재난담당자로 구성된 외부 전문가집단과 함께 폭우재난을 대응하기 위해 실시한 비상대응체계, 업종별 자율점검, 사업장 점검, 중대사이렌 활용, 안전관리 및 복구작업 지도 등에 관한 내용을 검토하였다. 연구결과:우선, 상시 연락체계는 수시로 점검이 필요하며, 세부적인 업종별 자율점검표 마련·배포도 필요하다. 또한, 사업장 점검 시 자율점검 이행여부 확인을 해야 하며, 중대재해 사이렌으로 통해 알리는 정보의 가독성을 높일 방안도 필요 해 보인다. 아울러, 안전작업은 도급형태로 이뤄지기 때문에 구체적인 안전지침 마련도 필요해 보인다. 결론:계절적 유해·위험요인으로 인한 근로자의 생명을 보호하기 위해서는 과거처럼 수동적인 대처방법과 달리 이상기후는 돌발상황으로 여겨서는 안되고, 관행적인 틀에서 벗어나 적극적이고 선제적으로 대응해야 할 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the minimum wage policy and the employment labor force in Myanmar by exploring firms' actions such as installing supplementary machines to substitute for labor resources and by addressing gender issues in employment. Research design, data, and methodology: This paper applies a fixed-effect estimation method by using the World Bank's enterprise panel data set surveyed in Myanmar. Results: Findings suggest that the minimum wage reduces both full-time and part-time employment, while the first minimum wage policy increases overall female employment. The adverse impacts are more pronounced for female employees of Joint Venture enterprises and enterprises located in the less-populated regions. Investment in capital such as equipment and machinery increase to substitute for labor after the minimum wage policy implementation; as a result, full-time employment slightly decreases. Conclusions: Appropriate measures concerning the minimum wage policy must be prepared by the government and institutions related to the labor union to serve the well-being of employees. Government of Myanmar should fix the minimum wage in a reasonable period based on the fiscal year for both employers and employees to prevent possible issues and losses resulting from the minimum wage being set.

국소배기장치를 설치하려는 경우 환경부 허가를 받더라도 고용노동부 허가를 새로 받아야 한다. 이는 대기환경보전법 뿐만 아니라 산업안전보건법 제48조2에 따른 제조업 유해위험방지계획서를 착공 15일 전까지 제출하도록 되어 있기 때문이다. 현행 환경부 대기환경보전법에서는 국소배기장치의 오염원을 대기 중으로 배출되는 부분만 규제하고 산업현장 내에서의 근로자 안전보건에 관한 내용은 산업안전보건법 등 고용노동부 소관 법률로 관리된다. 환경부의 승인을 받은 것임에도 고용노동부의 불승인 사례가 증가하여 생산지연 및 추가 개선비용에 따른 사업장의 불만이 커지고 있다. 또한, 화재 폭발의 위험성이 큰 국소배기장치의 경우 화재 폭발에 의한 중대산업사고 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 원인은 배풍량, 제어속도, 반송속도, 덕트구경, 화재폭발 위험성 등의 설계가 미흡했기 때문이다. 이는 국소배기장치 승인기준 및 절차는 대동소이 하나 산업안전보건법에서 근로자의 안전보건 및 화재 폭발에 대한 심사항목이 추가되어 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 환경부와 고용노동부에서 이원화 되어 있는 국소배기장치 설치 승인기준을 비교 분석하여 합리적인 제도운영 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

Risk assessment system which is the point of occupational safety and health management system is recognized to be effective to prevent industrial accident and occupational disease internationally. Ministry of Employment and Labor developed guidance on risk assessment at workplace recently. This guidance presents standard model on risk assessment at workplace. However, enterprises may be confronted with many questions in the process of introducing and operating risk assessment. For risk assessment to be implemented properly and effectively at workplace, there are various questions that need to be considered in advance, including giving shape to standard on risk evaluation and clarifying the implementation system at workplace in advance. Also for risk assessment to be revitalized at workplace, several policy matters need to be settled. First, an administrative agency should present the implementation method of risk assessment more concretely. Secondly, it is necessary for an administrative agency to develop and spread various detailed manual, models and good practices related to risk assessment. Thirdly, a government agency need to apply an incentive & disadvantage policy actively to risk assessment.
