Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the awareness, necessity, and challenges of the Serious Disaster Punishment Act within the domestic construction industry, which is subject to the legislation implemented by the government. The research aimed to propose future improvement measures. According to the findings, safety officials consider securing more young and competent domestic skilled workers, as well as improving safety management standards and workers' safety awareness, to be the most crucial factors in preventing and reducing safety accidents. Furthermore, the primary improvement plan for the Serious Disaster Punishment Act involves clarifying ambiguous provisions in the current law. Government policy support is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of the Serious Disaster Punishment Act, and revisions should focus on preventive measures that contribute to the establishment of a safe working environment.

본 연구는 정부에서 시행하고 있는 중대재해처벌법의 적용대상이 되는 국내 건설업계의 중대재해처벌법에 대한 인지도 및 필요성과 시행에 따른 문제점을 분석하고, 향후 개선방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 안전관련업무 실무자들은 안전사고 예방 및 저감 방안 중 중요한 것은 젊고 유능한 국내 기능인력을 많이 확보하는 것이 가장 시급하고, 협력업체의 안전관리수준과 근로자의 안전의식을 향상하는 것이 필요하다고 생각하고 있음을 알았다. 그리고, 현행 중대재해처벌법에 대한 주요 개선방안은 현행 법규정 중에서 불명확한 규정을 구체화하고, 중대재해처벌법의 실효성을 제고하기 위해 정부의 정책적인 지원이 필요하며, 안전한 작업환경을 조성할 수 있도록 유도하는 사전 예방중심에 초점을 맞추어 개정하는 것이다.
