Hong is a PhD Student at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), specializing in occupational health, workplace safety, and migrant worker well-being. Their research focuses on the association between safety climate, burnout, and workplace injury among migrant workers, exploring how workplace safety perceptions influence both physical and psychological health outcomes. By integrating occupational health assessments, psychosocial stress models, and injury surveillance, Hong examines the impact of long hours, precarious employment conditions, and burnout and injury risks. Their interdisciplinary approach combines quantitative analysis, qualitative interviews, and policy evaluation to assess occupational health disparities' broader structural and environmental determinants. Beyond research, Hong’s work aims to influence policies that improve workplace safety and protect migrant workers. Their findings support stronger labor laws, better enforcement of safety regulations, and improved workplace mental health support. Hong advocates for practical policy changes, such as mandatory safety training, employer accountability for worker well-being, and accessible healthcare for injured workers, that protect this vulnerable population. By connecting research with action, Hong seeks to create safer, fairer, and healthier working environments for migrant workers.
