Linkage

Official Korean agency source + concept alignment (no explicit citation recorded)

Multilingual semantic similarity

cosine similarity (method detail)0.818

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.818); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

•Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
•Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
•A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Global purpose

Criminalise and expand employer duties for serious industrial accidents, building on ILO OSH Convention logic.

Korean purpose

대한민국은 「중대재해 처벌 등에 관한 법률」(중대재해처벌법, 2021.1.26 제정, 2022.1.27 시행)을 통해 ILO OSH 기본원칙을 국내법으로 강화했다. 사업주·경영책임자의 안전보건 확보의무(제4조), 안전보건관리체계 구축 의무(제5조), 중대산업재해 발생 시 사업주 처벌(1년 이상 징역)을 규정한다.
