Abstract
Recently, there are lacks of construction workers, and such vacancy has been continuously increased in many construction sites. Foreign workers have been hired to fill such vacancy, but increasingly high demands for construction workers made construction companies to hire foreign workers who did not properly pass the health and safety education program. In this work, problems associated with the basic education program for occupational safety and health training, which is the first mandatory requirement for foreign workers, were evaluated to suggest applicable solutions for this program. Literature reviews and preliminary investigations were performed, and a questionnaire survey was conducted for practitioners who were in charge of safety management in various construction sites. Results from survey were analyzed to derive proper methods for improvement on basic education on occupational safety and health training program. It is believed that suggested solution from this work can make foreign workers to be more conscious about health and safety issues, so that it will eventually decrease the accident rate in construction sites.
본 연구는 외국인들이 건설업에 종사하기 위해 가장 우선적으로 필요한 건설업 기초안전보건교육의 문제점과 해결방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 예비연구를 바탕으로 건설현장에 근무하는 안전관리감독자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 이 설문조사 결과를 바탕으로 외국인 건설 작업자에 대한 기초안전보건교육의 개선방안을 제시하였다. 이러한 개선방안은 외국인 작업자들의 안전의식을 높이고, 건설현장의 재해율을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
