Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out how to measure the stress related to accidents at the construction site promptly and conveniently to prevent safety accidents of construction workers. Accordingly, we analyzed the correlations between the questionnaire tool index that measures the stress associated with complex psychology of humans by integrating emotion, cognition, physical and behavioral responses, and basic brain waves, SEF-90, concentration, stress index from brain wave. As a result, which had the highest correlation with the stress measured through the questionnaire, was the SEF-90, and the regression analysis between two independent variables yielded a specific regression equation. This suggests the possibility of measuring the integrated stress of construction workers through the EEG signal at the construction site, and it can be used for the safety management of the construction site in the future.

본 연구는 건설 근로자의 안전사고를 예방하기 위해 사고와 밀접한 관련이 있는 스트레스를 건설현장에서 즉각적이면서도 편리하게 측정할 수 있는 방법에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이에 따라 인간의 복잡한 심리와 관련된 스트레스를 감정, 인지, 신체, 행동적 반응을 통합하여 측정할 수 있는 설문 도구와 뇌파를 통해 수집된 기본 뇌파, SEF-90, 집중도, 스트레스 지수 간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 설문을 통한 스트레스 측정값과 가장 상관관계가 높게 나온 뇌파는 SEF-90였으며, 두 독립변수간 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 특정 회귀식을 도출하였다. 이는 건설 현장에서 뇌파 신호를 통해 건설근로자의 통합적 스트레스를 측정할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한 것으로 향후 건설 현장의 안전관리에 활용할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.
