Abstract There isn’t a unified assessment standard and system of karoshi in the academic circle of our country, which hinders the development of karoshi. Constructing the system for the assessment of karoshi should be based on the connotation and constituent elements of overwork and follow the two dimensions of the fatigue and working status of laborers. The assessment indexes of overwork, the pathological symptoms of “Karoshi” and working status are the “core contents” of the indexes of assessment system. Japanese fatigue degree self-test scale provides a framework and grading basis
