KOSHA, providing small work places with cost for Work Environment Monitoring and special medical check-ups

□ Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA, President Lee Young-soon) is providing the cost for ?Work Environment Monitoring? and ?Special Medical Examination? to protect workers’ health of small workplaces exposed to hazardous factors such as chemicals, noise, and fine dust.

○ The cost for Work Environment Monitoring will be fully provided within the limit of 1 million won for a newly applying workplace and up to 70% of the cost within the limit of 400,000 won while the owner shall shoulder 30% of the cost, for other work places.

○ The cost for Special Medical Examination will be fully provided when the worker completes primary and secondary examinations at a designated examination institute.

 

□ Workplaces with less than 20 workers may apply for the Work Environment Monitoring and Special Medical Examination targets workplaces with less than 10 workers and construction workers hired on daily basis.

 

□ Applications for the support for Work Environment Monitoring and Special Medical Examination costs will be accepted from February 1, and business owners can apply online through KOSHA’s homepage (www.kosha.or.kr).

 

○ The application deadline for the Work Environment Monitoring cost is February 28 and additional applications can be submitted around June. Work places that had never applied for Work Environment Monitoring can apply any time.

○ Applications for ?Special Medical Examination? cost will be accepted any time from February 1 as long as the resources are available.

 

□ Last year, 9,589 work places were provided with the cost for Work Environment Monitoring and 67,889 workers received the support for the cost of Special Medical Examination.

 

“Last year, the eligibility to receive the financial support of Work Environment Monitoring expanded up to work places with less than 20 workers and the obligation to perform Special Medical Examination for night shift workers expanded up to work places of all sizes,” said Head of Occupational Health Bureau Jang-jin Ryu, “We hope business owners give more interest in workers’ health and apply for the support so that more workers can operate in safer work environments.” (End)
