Abstract

Korea's shipbuilding industry has led the world in the technical area over the last century. Despite this commendable performance, around 2,000 workers experience accidents almost every year with 40 being killed. This raises a question of whether the safety level of our shipbuilding industry, in particular the safety of workers, is actually at the world-class level. Accordingly, this research has analyzed several types of safety training currently provided in the field through investigating statistical data of serious accidents occurring from 2006 to 2015 in the domestic shipbuilding industry, analyzing its occurrence and causes, and conducting a survey targeting employees in the shipbuilding industry. Based on this, it has investigated problems of safety training in the shipbuilding industry and suggested improvements. First, it is essential to create a standard system for safety training in the shipbuilding industry to address problems of different kinds and levels of safety training provided by each shipyard and low quality of training, and operate more organized and systemized training. Second, safety training curriculum specializing in the shipbuilding industry should continue to be developed and standardized based on a standard system for safe training to prevent serious accidents and improve safety awareness of workers. Lastly, both employers and employees should actively provide and participate in safety training to secure safety of workers through preventing serious accidents and ultimately create safety-first culture in workplace.

우리 조선업은 기술적인 분야에서 세계를 선도하는 역할을 수행하고 있으나 조선업에서는 매년 2,000여명의 재해자가 발생하고 있으며, 이중 약 40명은 사망하고 있는 등 근로자의 안전측면에서도 과연 우리 조선업이 세계적인 수준인지는 의문이 들 수밖에 없다. 따라서 이 연구는 국내 조선업에서 2006년~2015년 동안 발생한 중대재해의 통계자료를 고찰하여 조선업 중대재해의 발생현황 및 원인을 분석하고, 조선업 근로자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 산업현장에서의 안전교육 형태를 분석하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 조선업 안전교육의 문제점을 도출하여 개선방안을 마련하였다. 첫째, 조선소별로 수행하는 안전교육의 종류 및 수준이 상이하거나 교육품질이 미흡한 문제점을 해결하고 체계적으로 교육과정을 운영하기 위해서 조선업 안전훈련 표준체계의 마련이 필요하다. 둘째, 조선업 안전훈련 표준체계를 바탕으로 조선업에 특화된 안전교육과정을 지속적으로 개발하고 표준화하여 조선업 중대재해를 감소시키고 근로자의 안전의식을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 셋째, 조선업에서의 중대재해를 예방하여 근로자의 안전을 확보하기 위해서는 사업주와 근로자 모두가 적극적으로 안전교육을 수행하고 참여하여 사업장의 안전문화를 형성할 필요가 있다.
