Objectives: The purpose of the Act is to comprehensively consider the legislative notice of the Enforcement Decree of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act for each important issue in terms of system, content, and execution. Methods: We examine the legislative notice of the Enforcement Decree of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act in-depth from the perspective of the effectiveness of disaster prevention, consistency of the legal system, and harmony with legal principles. Results: The proposed Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Punishment of Serious Accidents hardly resolves the uncertainties of the law, and there are many aspects that are unclear in the enforcement ordinance itself and that do not comply with constitutional principles. As a result, it is judged that it is difficult to for it to serve as an accident prevention standard due to its low predictability and that it will be difficult to achieve effectiveness in accident prevention. Conclusions: Ultimately, the law itself should be extensively reorganized in order to ensure universal and sufficient effectiveness, including the abolition of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. In the short term, even the Enforcement Decree of the Act should be reorganized and supplemented in accordance with the law and safety principles.

The Serious Disaster Punishment Act, which has been in effect since January 27, 2022, requires employers or management managers who neglect safety measures to be punished by imprisonment for more than one year in the event of a serious disaster. As this Act on the Punishment of Severe Disasters came into effect this year, it has received a lot of attention from society. According to experts, most of the opinions are that the bill was created focusing on increasing punishment for companies, contrary to the original purpose of the bill to reduce the safety accident rate. This study confirmed whether these contents were true through case studies, and if this continues, the conflict between companies and workers will intensify and the safety accident rate will not decrease. Therefore, this study does not unconditionally increase corporate punishment, but compares many situations through surveys and suggests a way for companies and workers to cooperate with the Critical Accident Punishment Act to reduce the safety accident rate.

Purpose and Method: The purpose of this study is to understand the current status of safety management following the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. In-depth interviews were conducted with the general managers of critical disaster work at a total of 4,555 facilities managed by 11 city-affiliated organizations under the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Through this, work-related matters are analyzed and structural causes of accidents and disasters are derived. And we would like to take improvement directions and countermeasures. Result: There is a limit to the recognition and prevention of serious accidents punishment, and improvement is needed in work overload and avoidance, communication, information management and utilization. Conclusion: As the burden of work is high, it is necessary to prohibit other tasks and concurrent positions, hire safety management experts, grant authority in line with the work, require an incentive system for safety work, and develop educational materials suitable for the ability to perform safety work.

중대재해처벌법이 도입되었으나 여전히 실무적으로 정착되고 있지 못한 실정이다. 이에 공무원과 공공기관 652명의 실무자들을 대상으로 중대시민재해 관련 실무상의 애로사항과 중대재해처벌법의 개정방향에 대하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 다양한 애로사항의 상당부분은 관련 기준이 부재하여 발생하고 있었으며, 중대재해처벌법 개정방향도 높은 비율로 의무사항을 준수하기 위한 구제적인 기준 제시가 필요한 것으로 조사되었다. 그러므로 구체적인 기준제시를 위하여 시행령 개정과 함께 관계부처가 발간한 중대재해처벌법 해설서를 개정 및 보완할 필요가 있다.
