Labor Hell: A Record of Workers Who Died at Work

laborhell.com Observed source
Editorial interest 89/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Korean-language archive documenting industrial deaths in South Korea by date, location, accident type, and employment status.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

The archive separates 347 recorded deaths from the 296 that meet the government's stated counting method, making the boundary between the two datasets part of the project rather than a footnote. Its visible breakdowns include accident mechanism, employment status, province, and month; subcontracted workers account for 143 listed deaths, while 147 entries have unknown employment status. The site also records why some deaths fall outside the official definition and says future versions will add punishment and investigation records.
