Study on the Effect of Life Safety Awareness and Safety Behaviors of Fire Professional Engineers on Life Safety

In the present study, a group of subjects consisting of "Fire Professional Engineers" was selected to examine the effects of life safety awareness and safety behaviors of the subjects on life safety through an analyses of the descriptive statistics, factors, reliability, and correlation; simple regression and three-stage regression analyses on mediation were also carried out based on the hypotheses developed. The results showed that the degree of safety behavior increased by 72.1% in accordance with the increased safety awareness of fire professional engineers; the life safety was also increased by 61.5% and 64.5% by the increases in safety awareness and safety behavior of fire professional engineers, respectively. In addition, the safety behaviors demonstrated a partial mediatory effect in the relationship between safety awareness and life safety. All hypotheses (H1, H2, H3, H4), established for the present study, were accepted based on statistical verifications that justified an amendment of the Acts pertinent to firefighting service focusing on life safety; the data are expected to be exploited to reflect significance of life safety.

소방기술사의 안전의식, 안전행동과 인명안전과의 관계 연구

본 연구는 소방기술사(Fire Professional Engineer)의 안전의식, 안전행동과 인명안전의 관계를 검증하기 위하여 기술통계 분석, 요인 분석, 신뢰도 분석, 상관관계 분석을 실시하였으며, 연구가설을 설정하여 단순회귀 분석, 3단계 매개회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 소방기술사의 안전의식이 높아지면 안전행동은 72.1% 상승하고, 안전의식과 안전행동이 높아지면 인명안전은 각각 61.5%와 64.5%가 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 안전행동은 안전의식과 인명안전의 관계에서 부분매개효과가 나타났다. 모든 연구가설(H1, H2, H3, H4)의 채택으로 소방 관련법은 인명안전 중심으로 개정되어야 한다는 필요성이 통계적으로 검증되어, 향후 인명안전을 반영한 분석 자료로 널리 활용 될 것이다.
