Yonsei University College of Medicine, Institute for Occupational Health, Korea<\/jats:bold>\u2014This study was performed to determine the differences in occupational injuries and illnesses between white\u2010collar and blue\u2010collar workers and to estimate the magnitude of the underreporting of these injuries and illnesses in Korea. Two datasets were used. One was a cohort established in the Gyeongin area with workers who underwent mandated health examinations, and the other was the National Health Insurance (NHI) data of claims submitted by workers employed between 1999 and 2001. Workers were classified into two groups\u2014 white\u2010collar and blue\u2010collar workers\u2014according to their job types and the type of health examination they received. Injury rates were calculated for white\u2010collar and blue\u2010collar workers. The differences in the incidences of musculoskeletal diseases or injury and poisoning between the two groups were regarded as unreported occupational injuries or illnesses. Thereafter, work\u2010related injury rates were estimated. With regard to medical treatment for musculoskeletal diseases or injuries and poisonings covered by the NHI, blue\u2010collar workers had 3.47 more cases per 100 person\u2010years than white\u2010collar workers. This translates into a rate of between 12.57 and 18.1 injured workers per million working hours. The injury rate was 2.74 to 3.29 injured workers and the incidence rate was 3.62 to 5.44 injuries and illnesses per hundred workers. The estimated occupational injury and illness rates in this study were likely to be two to three times higher than those officially reported. However, the limitations of the study should also be considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1539\/joh.49.53","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,22]],"date-time":"2007-02-22T05:37:37Z","timestamp":1172122657000},"page":"53-60","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Occupational Injuries in Korea: A Comparison of Blue\u2010Collar and White\u2010Collar workers' Rates and Underreporting"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Jonguk","family":"Won","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yonsei University College of Medicine, Institute for Occupational Health Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yeonsoon","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dongguk School of Medicine, Ilasan Hospital Department of Occupational Medicine Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaesuk","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kwandong University College of Medicine Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donghee","family":"Koh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yonsei University Graduate School of Public Health Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaehoon","family":"Roh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yonsei University College of Medicine, Institute for Occupational Health Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","unstructured":"OECD.Chapter 4.
