SHARPS (Supporters for the Health And Rights of People in the Semiconductor Industry)
Mission Statement
- On November 20, 2007, 19 civil society organizations formed a joint committee
SHARPS is a non-governmental organization dedicated to protecting the health and human rights of workers in the semiconductor and electronics industries.
We work to achieve recognition of occupational diseases affecting semiconductor workers and support workers so they can work in safe and healthy conditions. Our activities include counseling and assistance for victims of occupational illnesses, support for workers’ compensation claims, research on workplace hazards, advocacy for policy and institutional reform, and solidarity with domestic and international labor and human rights organizations.
Through these efforts, SHARPS seeks to prevent industrial diseases, ensure corporate accountability, and promote dignity, safety, and justice for all workers in the semiconductor and electronics industries.

Reproductive Hazards Still Persist in the Microelectronics Industry: Increased Risk of Spontaneous Abortion and Menstrual Aberration among Female Workers in the Microelectronics Industry in South Korea
(extracts from the study)
Despite technical innovations and health and safety measures, female workers in microelectronics industry in South Korea have high rates of SAB ( spontaneous abortion) and MA (menstrual aberration), suggesting continued exposure to reproductive hazards.
Given that our data came from the three biggest companies in Korea, it is plausible to assume that workers in small-sized companies of Korea or working in developing countries are more exposed to such risk.
