Background

The series of serious industrial accidents in recent years at contractors to large companies has highlighted risk outsourcing as a real and urgent problem. This study aims to review the difference in the degree of risk exposure and the occurrence of industrial accidents depending on the type of company relations. Among in-house contractors, the focus will be on those handling hazardous chemicals that include companies for which outsourcing requires approval.

Methods

This study uses the 9th wave of the Industrial Safety and Health Survey (2018). For determining the degree of risk exposure, the occurrence of industrial accidents, and industrial accident rate, multivariate, logistic, and fractional logit, regression analyses were used, respectively.

Results

First, In-house contractors’ degree of risk exposure is higher than that of the client companies. In particular, this gap is even greater for companies dealing with chemicals. Second, among only those that handle hazardous chemicals, in-house contractors do show a significantly higher rate of industrial accident occurrence. Third, In-house contractors have a significantly higher rate of industrial accidents from diseases than client companies.

Conclusion

The analysis supports the intent of the legal amendment that strengthens the protection of in-house contracted workers who handle hazardous chemicals. Second, the results of this study suggest that safety and health management must go beyond legal compliance and ensure that it has substance and effectiveness. Last, there should be policy consideration is necessary to reduce attempts to hide industrial accidents.

内部承包商面临的风险和工业事故的决定因素;专注于处理危险化学品的公司

背景

近年来,大公司承包商发生的一系列严重工业事故凸显了风险外包是一个现实而紧迫的问题。本研究旨在审查风险暴露程度和工业事故发生率取决于公司关系类型的差异。在内部承包商中,重点将放在处理危险化学品的那些公司,其中包括外包需要批准的公司。

方法

本研究使用第 9 波工业安全与健康调查(2018 年)。为了确定风险暴露程度、工业事故的发生率和工业事故率,分别使用了多元、logistic 和分数 logit 回归分析。

结果

首先,内部承包商的风险暴露程度高于客户公司。特别是,对于处理化学品的公司而言,这种差距甚至更大。其次,仅在处理危险化学品的那些公司中,内部承包商的工业事故发生率确实要高得多。第三,内部承包商因疾病导致的工业事故率明显高于客户公司。

结论

该分析支持法律修正案的意图,即加强对处理危险化学品的内部合同工的保护。其次,这项研究的结果表明,安全与健康管理必须超越法律合规性,并确保其具有实质性和有效性。最后,应该有政策考虑,减少隐瞒工业事故的企图。
