Abstract

Purpose: It is necessary to establish more systematic and efficient accident prevention measures in relation to the promotion of safety activities to prevent safety accidents of foreign workers at construction sites, especially as safety accidents of foreign workers continue to occur among industrial accidents occurring at domestic construction sites. In this study, I would like to suggest ways to respond to legal issues related to the recruitment of foreign workers and ways to promote safety management that can effectively reduce industrial accidents through various safety management measures. Research design, data and methodology: In order to establish systematic safety management measures for foreign workers, in-depth research was attempted by collecting and analyzing various data such as the current status of domestic industrial accidents, employment status of foreign workers, and disaster statistics. Results: In addition, I intend to establish and present a more systematic safety management plan by conducting various analysis and feasibility review such as risk assessment education in terms of accident prevention for foreign workers. Conclusions: By establishing and presenting more systematic management measures, such as foreign employment, employment by occupation, and on-site education, this safety management system can effectively prevent accidents for foreign workers and is expected to contribute to the prevention of accidents at domestic construction sites for both construction companies and construction officials.
