택배기사의 산업재해에 영향을 미치는 근로환경요인 연구

This study analyzed factors affecting the occurrence of occupational injuries to the parcel delivery worker. To analyze labor environment factors affecting the occurrence of occupational injuries to the parcel delivery worker, total working hours per day, parcel sorting hours per day, hours of delivery per day, delivery quantity, number of night shifts, initial delivery hours, driving distance per day, average break hours, and parcel weight & size were used as independent variables. For dependent variables, whether one experienced occupation-related health problems, and occupation-related accidents were used. The most important factors affecting occupation-related health problems were increase in the total work hours per day during the peak season and the severe extension of hours spent for sorting, which affect the total work hours. In addition, increase in the average daily driving distance and parcel weight & size also affected occupation-related health problems. Occupation-related accidents showed somewhat similar results as occupation-related health problems; chronic overwork showed an effect on the experience of occupation-related accidents. Although parcel weight & size affected occupation-related accidents, hours of delivery per day and driving distance per day did not show any effect.
