Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose : The present study aimed to compare and analyze the characteristics of occupational injuries and illnesses among cooking workers with those in other occupations.
Methods : Analyzing 1,001,731 occupational accidents from 2013 to 2022, we categorized occupations into cooking workers and other occupations. Descriptive statistics, ¥ö2 analysis, and charts were used to analyze the differences using SAS 9.4.
Results : Cooking workers, primarily consisted of elderly females in small-scale establishments with fewer than 5 employees, showed a higher prevalence of incidents such as falls, musculoskeletal disorders, and burns. Challenges persist, particularly regarding unresolved issues and heightened anxiety related to occupational cancer recognition, leading to job turnover.
Conclusion : Consequently, addressing various contributing factors to occupational incidents among cooking workers requires a preventive approach with complex intervention strategies rather than simple causal analysis.
