Abstract

This study was performed to propose measures to improve and secure safety in the scene activities of firefighters. First, the majority of firefighters thought that working environment and equipment in fire station were inadequate for perforeming work tasks safely. Second, influential factors threatening safe scene activities mainly arose externally such as insecure working conditions of firefighting or emergency scene. Third, improvement in working environments was pointed out as the most urgent issue to secure safety. Firefighters recognized the expansion of field workforce in system, personnel management and the foundation of hospitals for firefighters hospital in working environment, and the development and distribution of safe equipment and change and inspection of air respirator facepiece on regular basis in equipment as urgent issues to be improved.

본 연구는 소방공무원 현장활동 안전성을 확보하기 위한 개선 방안을 제시하고자 시도되었다. 연구결과 첫째, 안전한 현장활동을 위한 소방관서의 근무환경과 장비에 대한 만족도가 대다수의 소방공무원들에서 낮은 것으로 나타나 안전한 현장활동을 수행하는 데 충분치 않은 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 둘째, 안전한 현장활동을 위협하는 영향요인을 주로 불안정한 현장요인 등으로 인식하고 있었다. 셋째, 안전성 확보를 위한 전반적인 개선방향으로 근무환경의 개선이 가장 시급한 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 각 차원별로는 제도면에서 현장 인력확충을, 환경면에서 적성과 인성을 고려한 업무배치와 소방공무원 전문병원 설립을, 장비면에서는 안전장비 개발 및 보급과 공기호흡기 면체의 주기적 교환 및 점검이 시급히 이루어져야 하는 것으로 인식하고 있었다.
