Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze safety perception level of workers in construction site according to NOSACQ-50. To achieve the objective of this study, First, literature review is conducted to clearly define the concept of safety climate. Second, NOSACQ-50 is used to survey the level of safety climate of workers. Third, statistical analysis based on collected data is conducted to examine the level of safety climate. As a result, the level of safety climate in South Korea was found to be serious comparing with the standard value proposed in NOSACQ-50. Finally, the improvements were suggested after investigating the key factors on the level of safety climate. In the future, this study will be used as a baseline for developing safety awareness assessment tools such as NOSACQ-50 for domestic construction sites.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 건설현장의 작업자들을 대상으로 NOSACQ-50을 활용하여 안전인지 수준을 분석하는 것이다. 이 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 첫째, 선행연구 고찰을 실시하여 안전 분위기의 개념을 명확히 정의한다. 둘째, 근로자의 안전분위기 수준을 측정하기 위하여 NOSACQ-50을 활용한 설문조사를 실시한다. 셋째, 수집된 데이터를 분석하여 안전 분위기 수준을 평가한다. 그 결과, 한국의 안전분위기 수준은 NOSACQ-50에서 제시한 표준값에 비해 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 최종적으로, 안전분위기 수준의 주요 요인들을 도출하고 이에 대한 대응방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 향후 NOSACQ-50과 같은 국내 건설현장에 맞는 안전인식 수준평가 도구 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.
