Abstract:
With its offer of competitive compensation and attractive employment permit system (EPS), South Korea has recently experienced an influx of migrant workers. There has been a concomitant rise in the concerns about the health and safety of migrant (especially undocumented) workers as well.

Chi-squares tests and logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the degree of association between variables (P
