A Study on the Factors Affecting the Occupational Safety and Health Level of Subcontractor Workplaces in the Electronics Industry

초록

Objective: This study explores factors influencing the occupational safety and health (OSH) level of subcontractor workplaces in the electronics industry, where small-scale operations and chemical use are common. Methods: A survey was conducted with 852 OSH managers from subcontractor firms. Three key domains were analyzed: OSH management framework, chemical risk management, and principal contractor support. Binomial logistic regression identified significant variables. Results: Factors such as appointing OSH managers, establishing procedures, providing worker information, and operating safety committees improved OSH levels. Chemical-related training, risk assessment, and control also contributed. Support from principal contractors through communication and consulting was effective. Conclusions: Strengthening internal OSH systems, improving chemical management, and enhancing collaboration with principal contractors are essential for advancing OSH in subcontractor workplaces in the electronics industry.
