초록

주5일제 실시, 인구 고령화 등으로 근로 환경이 과거에 비해 크게 바뀌었지만 빈도율, 강도율, Safe T-score와 같은 산업재해지수에는 반영되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 평균수명 증가, 근로 가능연령 상향, 근로시간 단축, 재해에 의한 사망자 평균 연령 변화 등의 시계열 동향을 파악하기 위해 통계자료를 활용하였다. 통계자료의 시계열 추이 분석 결과 인구 고령화로 인해 기대수명이 83.3세로 늘어났고, 법정 근로연령 또한 65세로 증가하였다. 그리고 2001년부터 주5일제 근로시간제가 도입되면서 연간 평균 근로시간은 2008.1시간으로 줄어들었다. 따라서 현재의 산업재해지표에서 사용되고 있는 기준과는 상당한 차이가 있었으며, 이러한 차이는 산업재해지표를 활용해 재해의 발생빈도와 산업재해로 인한 근로손실일수 등을 계산하고 그 추이를 파악하는데 큰 영향을 줄 것이라 판단된다.

Although the working environment has changed significantly compared to the past, such as the implementation of the five-day work week and the aging of the population, it is not reflected in the current industrial accident index calculation such as frequency rate, severity rate, and safe T-score. In this study, statistical data were used to understand time-series trends such as increase in life expectancy, working age, shortening of working hours, and average age of death by accident. As a result of time series trend analysis of statistical data, life expectancy increased to 83.3 years, and the legal working age was raised to 65 years due to the aging of the population. Also, with the advent of the 5-day work week since 2001, the average annual working hours decreased to 2008.1 hours. It can be confirmed through statistical data that these phenomena are applied to the current working environment due to a complex action, and these environmental changes affect the calculation results of the industrial accident index.
