Abstract
This is a fundamental study for safety management for high-rise building towercrane operators. There has been lots of studies related to the towercrane concentrating on the automation, system and equipment development and its implementation. The current studies strengthens only the limited domain of instrumental rationality and technical efficiency and the basic concepts of human resouce management seem to be strangely ignored. Thus, this study is based on the hypothesis that the construction workers, especially towercrane operators, should experience more difficulties doing their job on high-rise building job conditions than doing on general building job conditions related to the climate, physiological and psychological elements. This study focuses on the survey and analyisis of towercrane operators' current work condition to establish the frame of the further research. The study tried to find out major problems to make the further safety guidelines for the high-rise buidling towrecrane operators. This study is anticipated to provide basic data-based processing the research on safety management for high-rise building construction workers.
