Migrant workers now represent an increasing percentage of workers in Korea, but few studies have evaluated work-related health risks in this population. In this study, we explored the relative risk of occupational injuries and diseases in migrant workers compared with native Korean workers. ⋯ A greater proportion of migrant workers is exposed to higher risks of occupational safety and health issues than their Korean counterparts, demonstrating that the occupational safety and health of migrant workers requires more attention than that of Korean workers.
