Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Workers who treat imported fruits with fumigants to control pests and pathogenic microorganisms.
Description
Imported fruit fumigation workers perform fumigation treatments using fumigants (such as methyl bromide) in dedicated equipment at quarantine stations or warehouses to prevent contamination by pests or pathogens. Before treatment, they manage temperature and humidity, confirm packaging, and conduct fumigation at the specified concentration and duration. After treatment, they perform safety and hygiene checks including residual concentration inspections, and deliver qualified items to shipping or storage destinations. Since they handle chemicals, strict adherence to safety standards such as protective equipment and ventilation management is required.
Future Outlook
While stable demand is expected from the perspective of strengthened quarantine measures, the role of workers may change due to the introduction of automation technology and alternative treatment methods.
