With the exception of agriculture, all other Republic of Korea industrial sectors have comprehensive systems in place for workplace surveillance (i.e., disease, injury, and exposure), research, and targeted interventions. However, because few statistics are available on the occupational health and safety conditions in the Republic of Korea agricultural sector, there is little information to guide interventions to prevent hazardous agricultural exposures. The scant information that is currently available suggests that agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries in the Republic of Korea. Building on information obtained at the International Symposium on Development of Prevention Strategies for Agricultural Health and Safety held in Suwon, Republic of Korea, in 2005, and embellished with examples of surveillance, research, and intervention activities conducted in the United States and elsewhere, this article provides guidance to promote and protect the health of Korean agricultural workers. This information can also guide other countries to reduce agricultural hazards.
除农业外，韩国所有其他工业部门都建立了全面的工作场所监测（即疾病、伤害和暴露）、研究和有针对性干预的系统。然而，由于韩国农业部门的职业健康和安全状况的统计数据很少，因此几乎没有信息可以指导干预措施来预防危险的农业接触。目前可用的少量信息表明，农业是韩国最危险的行业之一。本文以 2005 年在韩国水原举行的“农业健康与安全预防策略发展国际研讨会”上获得的信息为基础，并辅以美国和其他国家开展的监测、研究和干预活动的实例，为促进和保护韩国农业工人的健康提供指导。这些信息还可以指导其他国家减少农业危害。
