Abstract

Workers who die from falls at construction sites account for about 40 percent of the total number of deaths and are the main forms of accidents. In addition, as the nation's population structure is gradually aging, the rate of aging is increasing at construction sites, and the number of crashes due to decreased physical function and cognitive ability is increasing. Accordingly, we conducted a survey on the factors affecting the fall of older workers and would like to present more fundamental measures to prevent falls, focusing on older workers who are the victims of the disaster.

건설현장에서 추락으로 인해 사망하는 근로자는 전체 사망자의 약 40%를 차지하며 사망사고 주요 발생 형태로 나타나고 있다, 또한 우리나라 인구구성이 점차 고령화됨에 따라 건설현장에서도 고령화 비율이 점점 높아지고 있으며 신체기능 저하 인지능력 저하 등에 따른 추락재해가 점점 증가추세에 있다. 이에 따라 고령 근로자 추락에 미치는 요인에 대하여 설문조사를 실시하였으며 재해 당사자인 고령 근로자에 초점을 맞춰 보다 근본적인 추락 예방대책을 제시하고자 한다.
