Abstract

As buildings become higher, larger, and more complex, safety issues for construction workers working at such environments become more important. We analyzed 140 critical accident cases reported to the KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency) for construction cranes and lifts by types of cranes and by patterns of accidents and causes. By finding out the accident's types and causes, we expect to develop an efficient measure for preventing similar accidents in the near future. The cases will be studied further and reexamined using the FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) as a quantitative analysis method.
