This study examines the relationship between safety factors and health management systems based on accident statistics in the construction industry stipulated in the Serious Disaster Punishment Act. To determine the level of safety achieved by companies through their health management system, the top 1000 construction firms in the country were surveyed online. Four hundred sixty companies responded to the survey by providing their statistics on major accidents (mortality, accidental mortality, and injury rates). Statistical tests showed that companies with a team dedicated to the oversight of safety and health management had fewer accidents than those without one. Factor and regression analyses revealed that three factors affected the mortality and accident rates: safety and health plan, safety and health professionals, and safety and health activities. Moreover, two factors significantly influenced the injury rate: safety management supported by a cooperative company and implementation of on-site safety and health activities. The findings of this study can be used as a fundamental reference for further research and consultation on the formulation of safety and health management systems for construction companies.

The main purpose of accident analysis is to identify the causal factors and the mechanisms of those factors leading to the accident. However, current accident analysis techniques focus only on finding the factors related to the accident without providing more insightful results, such as structures or mechanisms. For this reason, preventive actions for safety management are concentrated on the elimination of causal factors rather than blocking the connection or chain of accident processes. This greatly reduces the effectiveness of safety management in practice. In the present study, a technique to model the correlational structure of accident risk factors is proposed by using the co-occurrence keyword network analysis technique. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, a case study involving a portable ladder fall accident is conducted. The results indicate that the proposed technique can construct the correlational structure model of the risk factors of a portable ladder fall accident. This proves the effectiveness of the proposed technique in modeling the correlational structure of accident risk factors.

Mobile scaffold is used as a work platform in construction sites. According to industrial accident data, 10 fatalities occur annually on average due to falling from mobile scaffold in construction sites. To prevent such fatal accidents, safety standards must be improved by analyzing the causes of fatal accidents related to mobile scaffold. Accordingly, we analyzed domestic and international safety standards for mobile scaffold and analyzed the fatalities (117 persons) caused by mobile scaffold accidents in domestic construction sites during 2011-2020 and found that fall, overturn, and collapse accounted for 88% (103 persons), 10.3% (12 persons), and 1.7% (2 persons) of fatalities, respectively. The main causes of fatal accidents were found to be non-installation or insufficient installation of safety rails and outriggers and incorrect sequence of work. Based on the analysis results, we proposed strategies for improving the safety standards, such as the use of advanced guard rails and wheel-attached outriggers, to enhance the safety and field applicability of the mobile scaffold. Technology development and improvements in the safety standards for the use of mobile scaffold will aid in the prevention of fatal accidents caused by mobile scaffold.

In this study, a systematic survey was employed to investigate managers' awareness on the safety culture project in small- to medium-sized industries. The existing regulatory and technology-oriented disaster prevention strategy has been implemented to reduce industrial accidents within a short timeframe, but it is essential to reduce fundamental accidents as well by improving the organizational safety culture or software elements, such as safety awareness. Questionnaires and interviews were conducted to examine the managers' awareness about safety culture, consisting of 17 questions related to safety consulting and with the participation of 191 executives and safety managers. The results showed a significant difference in the self-pay rate of safety consulting depending on the size of the workplace under evaluation. Based on the results, the safety-consulting business focused on providing differentiated consulting support and realistic improvement plans according to the workplace size. The study concluded that it is possible to reduce fundamental human errors and improve organizations' safety awareness or safety culture by employing safety consulting differentiated by workplace size.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 건설현장에서 발생하는 안전사고 발생 특성과 강수특성 변화의 연관성을 분석하였다. 대상기간 2000년부터 2010년까지 지역별 건설 산업현장에서의 사고발생 건수(한국산업안전보건공단) 자료와 같은 시기 지역별 강수량 자료(기상청 지상관측지점)를 사용하여 강수량의 거동과 건설현장 사고발생 건수의 거동 사이의 상관성을 분석하였다. 건설현장 사고사례의 사고형태 중 부상자와 사망자 정보를 사용하였으며 지역의 구분은 특별시, 광역시 및 도 단위로 구분하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 전반적으로 연간 강수량의 증가 추세와 유사하게 전체 건설현장 안전사고의 발생건수가 증가하는 추세를 보이며, 지역별로 강수량의 증감 거동과 유사한 사고발생의 빈도의 증감거동을 보였다. 우리나라의 평균 월강수량과 월별 건설 안전사고 발생건수는 0.8의 선형상관성을 가지며 지역별 분석에서는 섬지역인 제주도가 가장 높은 상관계수 0.9를 나타냈고, 서울특별시 0.7, 대구광역시 0.7, 광주광역시 0.7, 부산광역시 0.5, 인천광역시 0.5, 대전광역시 0.4의 상관관계 순으로 나타났다. 강수변화에 따른 지역, 계절, 월별 강수-건설재해 상관성을 분석 제시하였다. 장마철인 7~8월에는 봄철인 3월~5월에 비해 강수량의 증가뿐만 아니라 21.16%의 사고 발생건수 증가가 나타났으며 우리나라의 강수특성 중 기후변화로 인하여 태풍의 영향이 많았던 시기의 사고발생의 특성을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 특히 2002년 태풍 '루사'와 2003년 태풍 '매미' 발생 시 산업현장의 재해 발생이 많이 있었던 것으로 조사 되었는데, 그 이유로는 산업현장에 태풍의 영향으로 감전사고 발생률이 2배가량 증가하며, 구조물과 사면이 무너져 내리는 등 사고가 빈번히 발생하면서 재해발생률이 더 증가하였다. 이처럼 기후변화에 따른 강수특성 변화로 건설 산업현장은 사고의 위험에 더욱 노출되고 있으므로 이에 대한 지역적 특성 분석과 대책 수립이 요구된다.

Objectives: To develop the smart sensor to protect worker's health from chemical exposure by adopting ICT (Information and Communications Technology) technologies. Methods: To develope real-time chemical exposure monitoring system, IoT (Internet of Things) sensor technology and regulations were reviewed. We developed and produced smart sensor. A smart sensor is a system consisting of a sensor unit, a communication unit, and a platform. To verify the performance of smart sensors, each sensor has been certified by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS). Results: Chemicals (TVOC; Total Volatile Organic Compounds, Cl₂: Chlorine, HF: Hydrogen fluoride and HCN: Hydrogen cyanide) were selected according to a priority logic (KOSHA Alert, acute poisoning statistics, literature review). Notifications were set according to OEL (occupational exposure limit). Sensors were selected based on OEL and the capabilities of the sensors. Communication is designed to use LTE (Long Term Evolution) and Wi-Fi at the same time for convenience. Electronic platform were applied to build this monitoring system. Conclusions: Real-time monitoring system for OEL of hazardous chemicals in workplace was developed. Smart sensor can detect chemicals to complement monitoring of traditional workplace environmental monitoring such as short term and peak exposure. Further research is needed to expand the scope of application, improve reliability, and systematically application.

This study performed a structural performance evaluation of a system scaffolding for elevator installation work developed in previous studies. The structural performance was evaluated via a structural test conducted to apply the working load specified in the design standard. The deflection of the horizontal member and the stress of each member constituting the system scaffolding were measured. Consequently, the structural safety evaluation including structural behavior and required performance was performed using the deflection and stresses measured from the structural test. The structural test and safety evaluation results based on the heavy working load corresponding to the design load indicated that the deflection, which is the performance criterion of the horizontal member, did not exceed the allowable value. Further, each member's stress, which is a safety evaluation indicator, did not exceed the allowable strength for both horizontal and vertical members with bending behavior and fordable bracing with tensile behavior, while also satisfying the required safety factor. In addition, the results confirmed the safety against deformation, partial damage, and destruction owing to excessive and maximum load. Therefore, the system scaffolding developed in this study satisfies both the structural performance and safety required by the design standards; thus, it can be applied to elevator installation work sites.
