輔仁大學國際永續研究計畫



  • 簡介:
    永續發展目標(SDGs) “良好的健康與福祉”,於近年來受到COVID-19疫情在全世界肆虐,對於實現本目標之宗旨產生了相當大的挑戰。
    本校2021年與亞太地區來自9個國家的政府組織與非政府組織共同合作,針對各國政府在面對疫情的快速來襲下對公衛醫療、預防和應對系統與相關的法規所產生的挑戰進行研究,發現相關應對措施大多只針對在公共設施中的病毒風險管控,很少製定與控制工作場所或職業感染的相關管控政策。本合作研究之結論為建議在工業安全與健康的相關法案中明確規範管理傳染病風險的具體措施,如提供適當的個人防護設備、教育、工程控制措施及帶薪休假等,讓政策防護網能夠更確實的保護所有人的健康。

Overview of Legal Measures for Managing Workplace COVID-19 Infection Risk in Several Asia-Pacific Countries



  • Background:
    Despite the lack of official COVID-19 statistics, various workplaces and occupations have been at the center of COVID-19 outbreaks. We aimed to compare legal measures and governance established for managing COVID-19 infection risks at workplaces in nine Asia and Pacific countries and to recommend key administrative measures.



  • Methods:
    We collected information on legal measures and governance from both general citizens and workers regarding infection risks such as COVID-19 from industrial hygiene professionals in nine countries (Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Republic of the Philippines, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand) using a structured questionnaire.



  • Results:
    A governmental body overseeing public health and welfare was in charge of containing the spread and occurrence of infectious diseases under an infectious disease control and prevention act or another special act, although the name of the pertinent organizations and legislation vary among countries. Unlike in the case of other traditional hazards, there have been no specific articles or clauses describing the means of mitigating virus risk in the workplace that are legally required of employers, making it difficult to define the responsibilities of the employer. Each country maintains own legal systems regarding access to the duration, administration, and financing of paid sick leave. Many workers may not have access to paid sick leave even if it is legally guaranteed.



  • Conclusion:
    Specific legal measures to manage infectious disease risks, such as providing proper personal protective equipment, education, engineering control measures, and paid sick leave are recommended to be stipulated in Industrial safety and health-related acts.
