South Korea\u2019s reliance on foreign labor reached a critical point in 2024, with <\/span>nearly half<\/span><\/a> of its 1.1 million foreign workers employed in high-risk sectors such as mining and manufacturing. While these workers are essential to the economy, systemic vulnerabilities in workplace safety and labor policies have created a cycle of exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n

A combination of lax enforcement, inadequate healthcare access, and restrictive visa policies has made foreign workers disproportionately vulnerable, highlighting the urgent need for reform.<\/span><\/p>\n

RISING FATALITIES AND SYSTEMIC RISKS<\/b><\/p>\n

Industrial accidents highlight the growing dangers foreign workers face. According to data provided to <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i> by People Power Party lawmaker Kim Wi-sang\u2019s office, foreign workers accounted for about 9% of all workplace fatalities in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite an overall decline in workplace fatalities in 2023, foreign workers represented a higher proportion, at 10.4%. From January to March 2024, this trend worsened, with foreign workers comprising <\/span>11.2%<\/span><\/a> of industrial accident deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>June 2024 fire<\/span><\/a> at the Aricell battery factory exemplified these risks. The disaster claimed 23 lives, including 18 foreign nationals, most of whom were women employed through temporary staffing agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prosecutors deemed the fire a \u201cman-made disaster\u201d rooted in safety negligence, indicting Aricell\u2019s CEO for violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and laws protecting foreign workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond industrial accidents, healthcare gaps compound these vulnerabilities. <\/span>Data<\/span><\/a> from the Ministry of Justice shows that nearly half of the 15,325 foreign worker deaths between 2018 and 2022 were classified as having \u201cunknown causes,\u201d indicating significant shortcomings in healthcare access and post-mortem investigations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Annual fatalities have risen steadily, from 2,657 in 2018 to 3,551 in 2022, reflecting persistent systemic failures.<\/span><\/p>\n

INADEQUATE SAFETY MEASURES<\/b><\/p>\n

Foreign workers are disproportionately funneled into \u201c3D jobs\u201d (dirty, dangerous and difficult) in sectors like construction and manufacturing. Experts told <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i> that these roles expose them to heightened risks due to insufficient safety measures, restrictive visa policies and exploitative employment practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite <\/span>Article 37<\/span><\/a> of the Occupational Safety and Health Act requiring employers to provide safety warnings and training in workers\u2019 native languages, enforcement remains weak.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Aricell fire catalyzed a series of <\/span>proposed reforms<\/span><\/a> from the labor ministry. These include mandatory safety training, multilingual educational materials and financial support for small businesses to implement physical safety improvements such as firewalls and clearer evacuation routes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency also <\/span>distributed<\/span><\/a> safety and health pictograms to help workers identify hazards visually. However, implementation has lagged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Domestic media <\/span>highlighted<\/span><\/a> in July ongoing neglect. At another factory, 12 workers, mostly women, received a brief safety briefing in Korean, a language many did not understand. The facility lacked multilingual emergency signs, accessible fire extinguishers and adequate working conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, workers faced grueling schedules, minimal breaks and unclear contracts, creating a shadow workforce that regulators failed to notice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the Employment Permit System (EPS), foreign workers <\/span>must undergo<\/span><\/a> 16 hours of training within 15 days of arrival, but only four to five hours cover industrial safety, often delivered in a classroom setting rather than on-site. These gaps leave workers ill-equipped to handle workplace hazards.<\/span><\/p>\n

EXPLOITATION THROUGH VISA POLICIES<\/b><\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s <\/span>E-9 visa system<\/span><\/a>, designed for non-specialized foreign workers, restricts job mobility, allowing workers to change employers only three times in their first three years and twice in the subsequent 22 months. Experts argue this policy traps workers in unsafe environments, as their ability to refuse dangerous tasks or seek better conditions is severely limited.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe inability to move to safer workplaces directly results from systemic constraints,\u201d said Lee Je-ho, director of the Migrant Center \u201cChingu.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This dependence on foreign labor exacerbates the issue. Construction and manufacturing \u2014 industries with the highest rates of industrial accidents \u2014 rely heavily on foreign workers because domestic employees avoid these high-risk jobs. This structural reliance perpetuates a cycle of workplace violations disproportionately affecting migrant laborers.<\/span><\/p>\n

DIMINISHED SUPPORT SYSTEMS<\/b><\/p>\n

The elimination of foreign worker support centers has further exposed vulnerabilities. These facilities, the first of which was established in 2004, previously provided legal assistance, medical services and cultural education to foreign workers. <\/span>Budget cuts<\/span><\/a> under the Yoon administration in 2024 led to the closure of 44 such centers nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis structural focus on cost-cutting makes foreign workers especially vulnerable,\u201d said Chung Hye-sun, a professor at the Catholic University of Korea\u2019s Graduate School of Healthcare Management. \u201cThey are brought into these environments without the necessary safeguards in place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Without intermediaries to address cultural misunderstandings or communication barriers, workers struggle to resolve issues, particularly in emergencies. This lack of support has hindered their ability to file complaints, access grievance mechanisms or receive timely assistance during workplace accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n

A NEED FOR SYSTEMIC OVERHAUL<\/b><\/p>\n

Experts advocate for a comprehensive overhaul of labor policies affecting foreign workers. Lee Je-ho proposed replacing the E-9 visa system with a labor permit system that allows workers to change employers freely. He also emphasized the importance of dismantling harmful stereotypes, such as the belief that foreign workers exploit South Korea\u2019s economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chung Hye-sun echoed these recommendations and stressed the importance of reinstating funding for foreign worker support centers. She highlighted the need for strategic interventions, including multilingual safety programs, rigorous enforcement of industrial safety standards and mandatory provision of protective gear for all employees, regardless of nationality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chung also noted that South Korea can learn from international best practices. For instance, the European Union ensures equal working conditions for foreign and domestic workers, while Germany\u2019s policies allow migrant workers to participate in workplace safety committees. Japan mandates employer-provided accommodations and prohibits discrimination against foreign workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe systemic neglect of foreign workers\u2019 welfare isn\u2019t merely a policy failure. It\u2019s a reflection of societal indifference to the humanity of individuals who are vital to South Korea\u2019s economic fabric,\u201d Chung told <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both experts stressed the need for coordinated action to address the cultural, institutional and regulatory flaws that perpetuate these risks. They argued for not only policy reforms but also a broader societal shift to recognize and uphold the dignity and rights of foreign workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Without decisive change, they warned, South Korea could risk perpetuating cycles of exploitation and preventable workplace tragedies.<\/span><\/p>\n
