Abstract

This study was carried out to understand the perspective of unskilled Sri Lankan employees in the manufacturing industry to gain a deeper understanding to learn how to utilize expatriate labor meaningfully in a host country workplace. The structural questionnaire was developed according to previous studies and International Labor standards and was validated with an expert in the field. The questionnaire included three parts covering the basic information, perception of workplace hazards, and health and safety awareness of workers. Unfamiliar work practices and processes due to lack of safety and work training have become an impediment. Further investigation of this study shows language plays as one of the main barriers in living and working in Korea, and the findings of this study indicates where the EPS workers appear to be fervent and, our research exhibits the unrevealed image of EPS workers in the Republic of Korea.
