Thanks to various efforts to reduce disasters by the government and the Health and Safety Authority, disasters across industries and the construction industry show their reduction trend. However, the falling disasters in the construction industry have not decreased and increased on the contrary. Especially falling disaster caused by Hanging Scaffolding is the most critical disaster which shows low occurrence frequency but is directly connected to death of worker. The working environment for Hanging Scaffolding is poor in domestic construction site. In particular, the Hanging Scaffolding workers in small construction sites are not on the safety control and management by anyone for their works. They are driven to unsafe working condition with mostly uncertified facilities which are made by themselves. Therefore, this study is focused on searching falling disaster factors from the 242 disaster cases caused by Hanging Scaffolding Work in 15 years presented by KOSHA, and trying to provide suggestions for improvement. The improvement of the method of work requires facility improvement and work due to high accident rate caused by unsafe behavior. Analysis of the case of a disaster occurring over the past 15 years shows that no disaster occurred due to problems in the order of operations presented by KOSHA. However, it was found that many accidents resulted from death caused by safety belts not being installed or attached to ropes using safety belts without following the order of work. The most important aspect of improving the work method was the installation and wearing of lifeboats and safety belts.

Despite the trend of decreasing accidents, falling accidents in the construction industry have not decreased and are even rising. Most major accidents are falling accidents caused by hanging scaffolding and are mostly serious. We conducted a review of the literature, institutions, and regulations, which showed that domestic standards are not unified because they are drawn up by referring to overseas standards for hanging scaffolding. New regulations or standards should be established, which should reflect the safety plans for equipment, work advance plans, education, and management. If facility improvement plan for Hanging Scaffolding and implementation of revision of the current work use, regulations and guides are implemented, it will be recognized in advance of the causes of the accident statistics and the classification system and will be the basis for the implementation of joint efforts by workers, managers, supervisors and owners to reduce accidents.

Korea has entered the ranks of advanced countries in terms of economic size and technological competitiveness. However, its industrial accident fatality rate remains among the lowest in OECD countries, and recent incidents such as various building collapses have resulted in numerous deaths of workers or citizens, reminiscent of accidents in developing countries. According to the 2022 Industrial Accident Status Analysis by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, out of the 874 fatalities in work-related accidents in 2022 across all industries, 402 were in the construction industry, accounting for approximately 46% of all fatalities. In particular, the construction industry's fatality rate stands at 1.61, significantly higher than the overall industry fatality rate of 0.43, indicating its severity. Construction ranks highest in terms of fatality rates, with mining at 12.18 and fishing at 1.80. When categorizing construction projects into private and public, private projects show significantly higher figures in terms of contracts, contract amounts, accident numbers, and fatalities compared to public projects. However, unlike public agencies, many private clients lack adequate safety and health activities and lack established safety and health systems. This study aims to raise awareness among private clients about the need to establish safety and health systems and enhance safety and health activities, and to discuss the direction of future development of advanced safety and health practices among private clients.

정전기에 의한 사고가 발생하려면, 정전기의 발생, 착화 능력을 가진 위험한 방전의 발생, 폭발성 가스, 증기가 공기와의 비율에서 폭발 한계 내에 존재할 것 등의 세가지 조건이 필요하다. 따라서 정전기에 의한 착화, 폭발 사고를 방지하기 위해서는 항상 이 세가지 관점에서 검토하여, 어떤 조건 하에서도 3개 조건 중 적어도 하나 이상을 제거하는 것이 필요하다. 이하, 정전기에 의한 재해 중에서 그 방전이 착화원이 되어서 발생하는 가연성 가스 등의 폭발, 화재에 의한 재해의 방지 대책에 한정해서 개설한다.

산업현장에서 발생하는 산업재해, 특히 중대재햬(사망사고)는 중대재해처벌법이 시행 후에도 줄어들고 있지 않아 2023년부터 자기규율 예방체계를 중심으로 사업장 스스로 위험요인을 발굴·개선하여 산업재해를 감소하도록 산업재해 예방정책을 실시하고 있다(관계부처합동 산업재해 감축로드맵(2022.12.08.). 23년도 상반기 중대재해는 22년도(301명) 대비하여 17명 감소하여(284명) 다소 감소세를 보이고 있다. 산업재해의 88%는 인적요인으로 발생하고 있어 작업자의 실수를 줄이는 것이 중대재해를 줄일 수 있어 JSA를 활용한위험성평가를 실시하여 산업재해를 줄이는 효과를 기대한다

에너지분야 국가핵심기반시설에서 산업재해 및 업무중단 사고예방을 위해 재해경감활동관리체계(BCMS)에서 일일위험지수 재난안전관리 프로그램을 자체개발 운용하여 정부의 중대재해 감축 로드맵의 핵심적인 4대 전략 중 하나인 사업장에서 유해위험요인에 대한 자기규율적인 예방관리체계의 확립한 사례를 제시하였다. 이에 대한 신뢰성 검증을 위해 중대산업재해 감축효과에 영향을 미친 사업장의 BCMS, 일일위험지수 및 중대재해처벌법 간의 관계성을 연구한 결과, 제도 간 개념의 관련성이 높으며, 상호 보완적이고 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 동종 사업장에서 재해경감활동관리체제의 일일위험지수를 활용한다면 중대재해예방관리에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The development of industry and the increase in the use of fossil fuels have accelerated the process of global warming and climate change, resulting in more frequent and intense natural disasters than ever before. Since electricity facilities are often installed outdoors, they are heavily influenced by natural disasters and the number of related accidents is increasing. In this paper, we analyzed the statistical status of domestic electrical fires, electric shock accidents, and electrical equipment accidents and hence analyzed the risk associated with climate change. Through the analysis of the electrical accidental data in connection with the various regional (metropolitan) climatic conditions (temperature, humidity), the risk rating and charts for each region and each equipment were produced. Based on this analysis, a basic electric risk prediction model is presented and a method of displaying an electric hazard prediction map for each region and each type of electric facilities through a website or smart phone app was developed using the proposed analysis data. In addition, efforts should be made to increase the durability of the electrical equipment and improve the resistance standards to prevent future disasters.
