Since the introduction of the converted accident rate in Pre-Qualification(PQ) process in 1992, the safety evaluation system has contributed to a reduction of construction accidents and development of the safety management system in public construction projects. As the comprehensive evaluation method the government plans to introduce includes the indicators 'accident rate' and 'death rate per 10,000 workers', the influences on the safety evaluation in the bidding process would be broader in public sector construction projects. However, the current safety evaluation system is operated by different estimating standards in the bidding process. At this point, a study of improvement on the safety evaluation index is required to review its current conditions and to propose its efficient operating method. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze problems of the current safety evaluation system through the questionnaire survey on the qualified workers in construction safety management and to propose an improvement plan for the problems noticed. Our results suggest the standards of the unified process for the safety evaluation index, the size of construction firms needed for accident rate estimation, and the improvement plan for unreported accidents. The proposed improvement plan enables the reasonable estimation and efficient operation of the safety evaluation index, and further, it would contribute to reducing construction accidents through the activation of voluntary safety management by construction firms.

This paper presents the findings that may be useful for establishing safety policies involved with safety plan, program, and control relative to fatal accidents in construction job site. The fatal accident investigation database maintained by Korean Production Household Mascot Safety Industrial Complex is accessed. The 5 years fatal accidents occurred in 2002 to 2006 were analyzed. The statistic relative to the fatal accidents in different project types is obtained using different classifications such as occupation, years of experience, accident type, and time in a day. This research would contribute to ensure the effectiveness of safety policy so as to enhance worker safety.

Over the past 7 years, the number of victims of construction disasters has been gradually increasing. Compared with projects in other industries, construction projects are highly exposed to safety risks. For this reason, the research methods of predicting and managing the risk of construction disasters are urgently needed that can be applied to a construction site. This study aims to propose a prediction model for a construction disaster using the decision tree technique. The developed the model is reviewed the applicability by evaluating its accuracy based on disaster data. The top three of the prediction values obtained from the proposed model were enumerated, and then the cumulative accuracy were also calculated. The prediction accuracy was 40 percent for the first value, but the cumulative accuracy was 80 percent. Thus, as more disaster data was accumulated, the cumulative accuracy appeared to be higher. If utilized in construction sites, the model proposed in this study would contribute to a reduction in the rate of construction disasters.

Recently, there has been a tendency for accidents occurring in manufacturing to lead to serious accidents and serious industrial accidents and to extend to community disasters. In accordance with the Third Plan (2015-2019) of the National Security Management Plan, the Safety Administration announces and promotes improvement measures to minimize industrial accidents and disasters. In the case of industrial accidents from KOSHA 2015 to 2017, the accident rate of the metal-related manufacturing industry is 1.57%, which is more than three times higher than the average 0.50% of all industries. As a result of investigating the causes of disasters, 72% of workers were found to be caused by unsafe behaviors. In addition, insecure behaviors are closely related to safety consciousness, and a survey on safety consciousness was conducted for workers in this field. Safety consciousness improvement has the affirmative effect on accident prevention and it is a factor to reduce accidents.

Recently, the government has shown a decrease in disaster accidents throughout the industry and construction industry due to various efforts to reduce disasters. However, the fall accidents in the construction industry are not decreasing but increasing. In particular, the fall accident caused by scaffolding is low each year, but the disaster intensity is very high in that it directly leads to the death of workers. Scaffolding working environment in domestic construction industry is very poor. Moreover, scaffold workers in small construction sites are not subject to safety oversight and control. Therefore, this study is the installation and non-installation of the vertical lifeline, which is the most fundamental problem to be prevented during the study, to prevent the fall of the moon scaffold. In addition, it is hoped that it will be a solution for preventing accidents in construction site construction through the identification of various causes of disasters such as rope loosening, rope breaking, and fixed point failure.

기업 생산 활동의 중요한 요소 4가지를 살펴본다면 사람, 기계, 원료, 방법이라고 이야기 한다. 기업에서는 생산성을 높이기 위하여 각종의 여러 기법등을 통하여 생산성 향상에 촛점을 두고 있다. 그러나 생산성 향상만큼 중요한 것은, 기업이 생산활동을 하는데 있어 기업의 손실을 최대한으로 감소시킬 수 있느냐에 따라서 기업의 성공여부가 결정될 수 있을 것이다. 기업에서 발생되는 손실부분중 커다란 부분을 차지하고 있는 것이, 산업재해로 인한 인적·물적인 손실이라고 할 수 있다. 현재 기업의 산업안전에 관한 실태를 살펴보면 인간중심의 안전관리보다는 기계중심의 안전관리가 더 우월하게 이루어지고 있다. 산업재해를 예방하기 위한 방법으로 기업 내에서 실시되는 산업 안전 교육이 기업 내에서 효율적으로 자리잡아 기업의 생산성 향상에 도움이 되고자 한다.

안전관리대행기관은 지정조건이 비영리법인으로 제한되었던 1996년에 38개소에 불과 하였으나, 1996년 이후 영리법인으로 확대되면서 2003년 2월말현재 68개소로 6년만에 30개소가 증가하고 대행요원도 524명에 달하고 있다(표 1).(중략)

최근 산업사회의 급속한 환경변화는 근로자의 상병구조에서도 나타나 작업이 단순반복화 되며 다양한 작업공구를 반복적으로 사용하게 되어 작업속도와 작업량이 많아지고 운동부족으로 인한 근력의 약화 등에 의해서 근골격계질환이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 이로 인한 근로자의 삶의 질은 물론 결근에 의한 노동력 손실, 제품불량 증가, 산재보상비용 지출증가 등으로 성장을 둔화시키고 사회$.$경제적으로 문제의 심각성을 더해주고 있다. 최근 노동부가 발표한 산업재해통계를 보면 2002년도 산업재해 중 업무상질병자는 5,417명으로 전년대비 136명 감소하였으나, 이중 직업성 근골격계질 환자(신체부담작업 및 요통)는 1,827명으로 전년대비 193명(11.8%) 증가한 것으로 나타났고, 그 발생양상이 집단적이라는 특성을 갖고 있다. 이처럼 직업성 근골격계질환의 업무상 질병에서 차지하는 비율이 증가추세에 있고 대부분의 선진국에서도 과거에는 각종 화학물질에 의한 직업병이 상위를 차지해 오다가 근래에는 동 질환이 업무상질병의 상당부분 이상으로 차지하고 있다. 미국의 경우 1998년 한해동안 253,300건(64.2%) 발생하였고 이 가운데 자동차 관련업종이 가장 많은 비율을 점유하고 있다.(중략)
