"Seeking Outstanding Research Papers"... Industrial Safety and Health Survey Data Paper Competition

KOSHA's 'Utilization of Research Base for Policy Development'

The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) is holding a contest to find outstanding research papers in the field of occupational safety and health.

The Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute of KOSHA (Director Kim Eun-ah) is calling for submissions for the 10th Industrial Safety and Health Survey Data Paper Competition, held as part of this year’s Industrial Safety and Health Survey Data Academic Conference.

The institute holds the paper competition annually to encourage the use of raw data from nationally approved statistics such as the Working Environment Survey and the Industrial Safety and Health Status Survey, and to establish a research foundation that can contribute to policy making.

Since 2022, the event has been reorganized and operated as an academic conference consisting of the paper competition and a seminar to discuss excellent research results utilizing survey data.
