An Awareness Analysis on the Design for Safety of Construction Project and Its Improvement Measures

건설프로젝트의 설계안전성 검토에 대한 인식 분석 및 개선방안

Abstract

Recognizing that the fundamental cause of construction safety accidents was a lack of safety management activities in the planning and design phases, the government made the Design for Safety (DFS) system mandatory in May 2016. However, awareness among ordering parties and designers regarding this system is significantly low, and the system has not been properly established due to reasons such as the need for additional work and a lack of professional manpower. In this study, the awareness of ordering parties and designers of the DFS system was analyzed through a survey, various problems in DFS work execution were identified and measures for improvement were presented. Measures to improve the efficiency in DFS work execution involve the discovery of risk factors and establishment of countermeasures, and here the establishment of a DFS work support system that enables the sharing of information between institutions is the most urgent priority. In addition, it is also urgently necessary to establish a dedicated organization in charge of DFS work, cultivate professional manpower, develop the relevant education programs and establish a proper cost calculation standard for DFS work execution by design offices.

정부는 안전사고의 근본원인을 기획 및 설계단계의 안전관리활동 부재라고 인식하고, 2016년 5월 DFS 제도를 의무화하였다. 그러나 아직까지 발주자 및 설계자들의 인지도는 매우 낮고, 추가적인 업무수행, 전문인력 부족 등의 다양한 사유로 제대로 정착되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 발주자 및 설계자에게 설문조사를 수행하여 DFS에 대한 인식을 분석하고, 업무수행상의 문제점을 도출하여 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시하였다. DFS 업무 수행의 효율성 제고를 위한 개선방안은 위험요소 및 대책 발굴이 가능하고, 기관별 정보공유가 가능한 DFS업무 지원시스템의 구축이 가장 시급하다. 이와 동시에 DFS업무를 전담하여 수행할 전담조직의 구축 및 전문 인력의 양성과 이를 위한 교육프로그램의 개발, 그리고, 설계사무소에서 DFS업무 수행 시 필요한 비용에 대한 적정 대가 산정기준 정립이 시급히 요구된다.
