Abstract
Objectives: This study determined the prevalence, distribution, and correlates of selfreported, non-fatal occupational injuries or diseases among employees in Taiwan. Methods: Data from a 2010 national survey of 9511 male and 7779 female employees 25~65 years of age were analyzed. Information regarding the experience of work-related injuries or diseases occurring over the 12 months prior to the survey was obtained using a standardized questionnaire. The age, level of education, work tenure, work shift, employment conditions, working hours, enterprise size, employment grade, and psychosocial work characteristics were also obtained. Results: The prevalence of non-fatal occupational injuries or diseases in males and females were 12.86% and 9.82%, respectively. For both genders, multivariate regression analyses showed that the following employees were at higher risk for non-fatal occupational injuries or diseases: older age; longer working hours; employment in smaller enterprises (<10 workers) or in public sectors compared to larger enterprises (≥50 workers); employment in construction and industrial sectors compared to service sectors; higher psychological job demands; higher physical job demands; and job insecurity. Conclusions: The Occupational Safety and Health Authority should pay attention to susceptible working populations to in an effort to minimize the risk for occupational injuries and diseases.
