Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the Correlation Analysis between Awareness of the Serious Disaster and Safety Consciousness of Construction Workers under the Act on the Punishment of Serious. A survey was conducted on construction workers, construction managers, and safety managers. The results of this study were as follows; The correlation analysis conducted among the three groups indicated a significant correlation, with safety managers demonstrating the highest correlation, followed by construction managers and construction workers, and all three groups exhibited a moderate correlation. The correlation analysis conducted for the entire group also revealed a significant correlation, and as the number of participants increased, higher correlation coefficients were observed. Furthermore, to ascertain the significance of the correlation coefficients, a comparison was made between the p-value and the significance level (α). Consequently, a p-value smaller than the significance level of 0.05 was obtained, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the level of awareness of the serious Accidents Punishment Act and the level of Safety Consciousness of Construction. One limitation of this study is that it relied on a subjective indicator through a survey, which may introduce variability in the difficulty level of the questionnaire items.

본 연구의 목적은 중대재해처벌법에 따른 건설 노동자의 중대재해인지 수준과 안전의식 수준 간의 상관관계를 분석하는 것이다. 건설 노동자, 건설 관리자, 안전 관리자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 세 그룹 간의 상관관계 분석 결과, 안전 관리자가 가장 높은 상관관계를 보였으며, 그 다음으로 건설 관리자와 건설 노동자가 이어지며, 세 그룹 모두 보통 수준의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 전체 그룹에서의 상관관계 분석도 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 참가자 수가 증가함에 따라 더 높은 상관계수가 관찰되었다. 또한, 상관계수의 유의성을 검증하기 위해 p-value와 유의수준(α)을 비교하였다. 결과적으로 유의수준인 0.05보다 작은 p-value를 얻어 귀무가설을 기각하고 대립가설인 "중대재해처벌법에 대한 인지 정도와 안전의식 수준 정도는 관계가 있다"를 채택하다. 따라서, 중대재해처벌법의 인지 정도와 건설 안전의식 수준은 관련이 있다는 결론을 얻었다. 이 연구의 한계점은 주관적인 지표를 기반으로 한 설문조사에 의존하였으므로, 질문 항목의 난이도에 변동성이 존재할 수 있다는 점이다.
