Abstract

The Korea Post plays a public role in providing postal services such as mail, savings, and insurance to the public. Although postal machines are becoming automated, workers are still exposed to various industrial accidents caused by being caught in the mail, and musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, occupational safety and health activities are needed to prevent serious accidents. In this study, the level of safety and health consciousness was analyzed for employees working in the postal logistics center The tasks such as regulations and procedures, organization composition, and safety and health education method improvement, were classified into five items and proposed, and efficient industrial accident prevention was presented.

우정사업본부는 국민들에게 우편, 예금, 보험 등 양질의 우정서비스를 제공하는 공적 역할을 수행하고 있다. 비록, 산업의 발전으로 우편기계가 자동화 되고 있지만 우편 소통 과정에서 종사자는 교통사고, 끼임사고, 근골격계질환 등 각종 산업재해에 노출되어 있어 중대재해를 예방하기 위한 산업안전보건 활동이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 우정사업본부 소속 공영우편업 물류센터에 근무하는 종사자를 대상으로 안전보건 의식 수준을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 안전보건 의식 향상을 위해 규정 및 절차, 조직 구성, 안전보건교육 방법 개선 등 중점 추진하여야 할 과제를 5가지 항목으로 구분하여 제언하였고, 효율적인 산업재해 예방을 위한 제도 수립에 기초할 자료를 제시하였다.
