Abstract
Objectives: Using cases in the Korean workplace, this study preliminarily investigated whether ISO 45001-certified and non-certified workplaces differ in four aspects of occupational safety and health management. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2021 Survey on the Status of Safety and Health in the Workplace in Korea. This study used a matched-pair analysis of certified and non-certified workplaces. Results: The results suggest that while ISO 45001-certified workplaces have a more safety-friendly internal institutional context than non-certified workplaces, there is no significant difference in the number of injuries and fatalities. Conclusions: The results indicate that ISO 45001-certified workplaces do not achieve better Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) performance than non-certified workplaces because ISO 45001 remains in the early stages of expansion and certification does not require the achievement of OSH performance. A longitudinal analysis is needed to confirm the accurate outcomes of ISO 45001 certification.
研究目的本研究利用韩国工作场所的案例,初步调查了通过 ISO 45001 认证的工作场所与未通过认证的工作场所在职业安全与健康管理的四个方面是否存在差异。 研究方法数据来自 2021 年韩国工作场所安全与健康状况调查。本研究对通过认证和未通过认证的工作场所进行了配对分析。 结果显示结果表明,与未通过认证的工作场所相比,通过 ISO 45001 认证的工作场所具有更有利于安全的内部制度环境,但在伤亡人数方面没有显著差异。 结论:结果表明,与未通过认证的工作场所相比,通过 ISO 45001 认证的工作场所并没有取得更好的职业安全和健康(OSH)绩效,因为 ISO 45001 仍处于早期推广阶段,而且认证并不要求取得职业安全和健康绩效。需要进行纵向分析,以确认 ISO 45001 认证的准确结果。
