While the disaster rate in all industries has been on a steady decline over the past decade, the accident rate in the construction industry has been on the rise, and it is urgent to improve it. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze domestic design safety review system with overseas cases to derive problems of domestic design for safety review system and find ways to improve it. Like U.K and Singapore, it should be reviewed from the beginning of the working design, and Safety reviews should be conducted not only in large-scale construction but also in small-scale construction to reduce construction industry disasters. In particular, it is necessary to prepare a system for the lack of related systems, and the Design for safety system is meaningful in that it is an expansion of the spectrum from operator-centered safety management system and requires sufficient improvement and research in the future.

While the overall industrial accident rate has been decreased, but those of the construction industry has not been. For safety management during the planning/design phase, which accounts for 45% of the cause of accident at the construction site, Design For Safety (DFS) was established to minimize a hazard and risk in 2016. Currently, DFS system has difficulty settling down in Korea due to the several reasons. So, this paper aims to propose to the Key Success Factor (KSF) and related action plan to improve DFS system. This study was conducted by following 2 steps: i) identification of problems on current DFS, and ii) proposal of KSF and following action plan for DFS. The DFS in Korea was compared with UK, Singapore, Australia, and US on 7 criteria (application target, execution period, change of design, collaboration among participants, expert participants, alternative review and decision support system). DFS was compared with other countries's system based on the identical criteria and the corresponding improvement measures were also proposed. The results of this study can be utilized to improve DFS system in various aspects.

The purpose of this study is to study how to draw up a safety guarantee certificate and its future expected effects in connection with the Industrial Safety and Health Act as it becomes mandatory to draw up a safety guarantee led by the owner who exercises practical decision-making authority and pays for the construction work. Therefore, Therefore, this study predicts the expected effects of the health and safety guarantee on the construction industry and the weaknesses that future health and assurance have in settling in the construction industry in relation to the revised Act on Industrial Safety and Health. And It will be used as basic data on the changes that will be brought by the shipper-led preemptive safety and health management system, as well as strengthening responsibilities and safety for the role of the shipper in the construction industry.
