Abstract

The construction projects are larger and more complex, and so the construction accidents are bigger. Recently, the studies for reducing the human errors are researched to decrease the construction accidents. The purpose of this study is to analysis a correlation between the safety education and human errors by construction workers. The results showed that the frequencies of safety education in large sized construction projects are more than these in small sized construction projects. However, all of construction projects conduct lower times of safety education than the regulated times. In addition, it is revealed that the human errors of construction workers in large sized construction projects are being lower in accordance with increasing the safety education times. In small sized construction projects, however, the human errors of construction workers are increasing according to more times of safety education, reversely. This study should help to reduce the accidents in construction projects.

건설 프로젝트가 대형화되고 복잡해지면서 건설업의 재해도 대형화되고 있다. 최근 건설 프로젝트에서 휴먼에러를 감소시켜 재해를 감소시키는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 건설현장의 근로자를 대상으로 안전교육과 휴먼에러의 상관관계에 대해서 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 안전교육은 중소규모현장보다는 대규모현장에서 더 많이 실시하고 있으나 법적 기준에는 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 대규모현장 건설근로자의 경우 안전교육 실시횟수가 많을수록 휴먼에러가 감소하는 경향이 있으나, 중소규모현장 건설근로자는 반대로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 효율적인 안전교육을 통해 건설근로자의 휴먼에러를 감소시는데 도움을 줄 것이다.
