Related organizations are pursuing an industrial accident for a deceased person in the case of an apartment security guard in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, who came to the world after complaining of sudden damage such as violence and violence of residents.

In 2014, there was a similar case in Gangnam-gu where apartment security guards made extreme choices while suffering from impersonal treatment of residents.

At that time, the suicide of a security guard was recognized as an industrial disaster.

'High Choi Hee-suk's memorial meeting for security workers' (memorial meeting) said that Choi's death was a 'business accident' in the process of carrying out the security work in the apartment, and said he was seeking an industrial accident.

According to the memorial meeting, Choi, who worked as a security guard in an apartment in Ui-dong, Gangbuk-gu since August 2018, continued to suffer from violence, threats, and violence from Mr. A after fighting with Mr. A for parking problems on the 21st of last month.

Choi also sued Mr. A to the police last month as the harassment continued.

"People's extreme choices seem to be related to work," said Lee Oh-pyo, head of the Sector's Labor Rights Center, which is promoting Mr. Choi's claim for industrial accidents. Said.

"With the consent of the survivors, we will apply for compensation for the survivors of industrial accidents by the Korea Welfare and Welfare Corporation this week," Lee said.

According to Article 37 of the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act, deaths caused by intentional or self-injury by workers are not considered work accidents.

However, if it is admitted to have committed self-injury in a state of mental abnormality caused by 'business reasons', extreme choices may also be recognized as work accidents.

On the basis of this, Choi's extreme choice also means that he will be recognized as an industrial accident by seeing it as a work accident that occurred in a mental anomaly that occurred while working as a security guard.

An example of an apartment security guard who suffered from 'citizens' injuries' and made extreme choices and was subsequently recognized for industrial accidents was also found in Gangnam-gu, Seoul in 2014.

Lee Mo (53 years old), who worked as a security guard in Shin-Hyundae Apartment in Apgujeong-dong, died in an apartment parking lot on October 7, 2014 after inhuman treatment from residents.

He died about a month after being treated in a hospital.

In the case of Lee, industrial accidents were recognized by the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation.

At the time, the Work-related Disease Judgment Committee stated in Lee's work-related disease decision, "It seems that the existing depressive state has deteriorated due to severe conflict and stress with residents during the work, and it is thought that attempts were made to reduce self-interest by reducing normal cognitive ability." The accumulated stress seems to have occurred due to the manifestation of extreme stress, which is thought to be related to work, "he admitted.

"The biggest significance of the case is that suicide due to the emotional labor of security guard workers was the first case recognized as an industrial accident," said labor lawyer Kwon Dong-hee, the law firm in charge of Lee's industrial accident application. "It was admitted that a mental anomaly occurred because of the bullying."

Kwon said, "The late security guard, who also recently died, made an extreme choice after harassment by residents. The incident has the same structure as in 2014." It is enough to prove that the deceased's deceased and made extreme choices in a state of mental abnormality. It could be recognized as an industrial accident. "
