Abstract

Although the domestic industrial accidents have been decreased gradually, deaths in the construction sites have been occupied 49.9 percent of the total industry and deaths from fall accident have been accounted for 59.7 percent of the construction industry. In order to prevent fall accident, various safety activities and policy have been carried out. However, the impact on the domestic construction industry was inadequate. On the other hand, in advanced countries, such as the United States, Japan, EU, and Singapore Industrial accidents have been lower than domestic industry due to safety activities, the regulations and policies appropriate for each country's situation. In this study, we compare the major points of the Industrial Safety and Health Act in developed countries with those in South Korea to reduce the number of falls, and propose a revision. As a result of conducting research, three revisions have been proposed as 1) Enhance standards for fall height, 2) Improvement of upper safety rail height on guardrail, 3) Revision and research on Horizontal Sarety bar attachment system. This study will be utilized as a basic study for the analysis of cases in advanced countries.

국내 산업재해는 점진적으로 감소하고 있음에도 불구하고 건설업에서의 사망자는 전체 산업의 49.9%를 차지하고 있으며, 그 중 추락사고 사망자는 59.7%의 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 이에 따라 정부차원에서 건설업의 추락사고를 예방하기 위한 다양한 안전 활동 및 정책을 추진하고 있으나 그 효과는 미비한 실정이다. 반면 미국, 일본, 영국, 싱가포르 등 해외 선진국의 경우 각국의 상황에 적합한 안전 활동, 규제 및 정책 등을 펼친 결과, 국내보다 산업재해 발생율이 저조했다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 국내 산업안전보건법과 해외 선진국의 법령을 추락재해에 밀접한 영향을 미치는 기인물별로 비교·분석하여 국내 실정에 맞는 개선방안을 제시하는 것이다. 비교 분석 결과, 본 연구에서는 국내 건설현장의 추락재해 저감을 위한 개선방안으로 1)추락 높이에 대한 기준 개선 2)안전난간 상부난간대 높이의 개선 3)수평안전대 부착설비 연구 및 지침의 개정 등의 개선방안을 제시하였다. 향후 본 연구는 해외 선진국의 사례분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.
