AbstractAbstract PDF
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the occupational cancer claims compensated by the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance that is operated by the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service (COMWEL).
METHODS
Using the COMWEL electronic database, we collected 1,933 claims for occupational cancer based on the worker's compensation records in the COMWEL from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2009. We analyzed the characteristics of the claims.
RESULTS
The average number of claims per year for occupational cancer was 193 and the approval rate was 13.1% from 2000 to 2009. Men accounted for 93.7% of the approved cases and had a higher approval rate. Approval rates increased with age. Among claims for occupational cancer, the most common was digestive cancer. On the other hand, the highest approval rate was for mesothelioma claims, followed by respiratory cancer, lymphoid or hematopoietic cancer. By industry, claims were most common in manufacturing, but the approval rate was highest in mining and quarrying. By occupation, claims most commonly came from legislators, senior officials & managers, but the approval rate was highest for craft & related trades workers. The average of tenure period was 15.5 years for approved cases, but 10.3 years for non-approved cases, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
We analyzed the characteristics of the occupational cancer claims which were compensated for the last 10 years accrording to the approved results. For the purpose of long-term understanding and management of worker's compensation status for occupational cancer, we should gather accurate information of the carcinogenic factors involved in order to achieve the systematic improvement that is needed.

Job Stress and Psychosocial Stress among Firefighters
Jaehyeok Ha, Dong Il Kim, Byung Sung Seo, Won Sool Kim, Seungho Ryu, Soo Geun Kim
Korean Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 2008;20(2):104-111.   Published online June 30, 2008

AbstractAbstract PDF
OBJECTIVES
This study was performed to assess the level of job and psychosocial stresses in Korean firefighters, and to evaluate the determinants of psychosocial stress.
METHODS
The study subjects comprised 1,712 male firefighters working in Seoul, Busan, and Kyungnam in 2006. We collected information about demographic and job-related characteristics, healthrelated behaviors, Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS), and psychosocial Well-being Index (PWI) through self-administered questionnaires. Statistical analyses were done by using the chi-square-test and logistic regression model.
RESULTS
The multiple logistic regression analyses indicated that the proportion of high-risk psychosocial stress is significantly higher in the groups with high job stress level in 'lack of rewards' (OR=2.90, 95% CI=2.18-3.85), 'occupational climate' (OR=1.92, 95% CI=1.47-2.51), 'job demand' (OR=1.72, 95% CI=1.32-2.23), 'job insecurity' (OR=1.53, 95% CI=1.17-2.01), 'interpersonal conflict' (OR=1.53, 95% CI=1.16-2.01), 'physical environment' (OR=1.45, 95% CI=1.11-1.89), and 'organizational injustice' (OR=1.38, 95% CI=1.04-1.85).
CONCLUSIONS
Psychosocial stress might be adversely influenced by job stressors for the most part. Firefighters need job stress management to minimize their psychological problems.

Sang Ju Lee, Young Seoub Hong, Sung Ryul Kim, Dong Il Kim, Joon Youn Kim, Kap Yeol Jung
Korean Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 1996;8(2):340-349.   Published online September 30, 1996
DOI: https://doi.org/10.35371/kjoem.1996.8.2.340
AbstractAbstract PDF
A range of indicators is available to assess renal dysfunction in lead exposure. This study was undertaken to find out which indicators were most valuable as markers of renal dysfunction. We selected 75 male workers from the secondary lead smelter, plastic stabilizer and radiator manufacturing industries (the "exposed" group) and 64 male office workers (the "control" group). Blood lead; blood zinc protoporphyrin; urine lead; urine coproporphyrin; delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity; and urine delta-aminolevulinic acid were chosen as indicators of lead exposure. Blood urea nitrogen; serum creatinine; serum uric acid; urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase; urine albumin; urine alpha1-microglobu-lin; and urine beta2-microglobulin were used as indicators of renal dysfunction. Urine alpha1-microglobulin level was significantly associated with, the lead exposure level. Blood urea nitrogen, urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and urine alpha1-microglobulin levels were highly correlated with indicators of lead exposure. Urine alpha1-microglobulin had the highest correlation with other indicators of renal function. In addition, the proportion of subjects with high urine alpha1-microglobulin levels showed a gradient with lead exposure. Conclusively, Blood urea nitrogen, urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and urine alpha1-microglobulin are useful indicators, but urine alpha1-microglobulin is ; the early 'and the most valuable indicator of renal dysfunction related to lead exposure.
