The construction projects are larger and more complex, and so the construction accidents are bigger. Recently, the studies for reducing the human errors are researched to decrease the construction accidents. The purpose of this study is to analysis a correlation between the safety education and human errors by construction workers. The results showed that the frequencies of safety education in large sized construction projects are more than these in small sized construction projects. However, all of construction projects conduct lower times of safety education than the regulated times. In addition, it is revealed that the human errors of construction workers in large sized construction projects are being lower in accordance with increasing the safety education times. In small sized construction projects, however, the human errors of construction workers are increasing according to more times of safety education, reversely. This study should help to reduce the accidents in construction projects.

To address the high accident rate in the construction industry, there is a growing interest in implementing virtual reality (VR)-based construction safety training. However, existing training approaches often failed to consider learners' individual characteristics, resulting in inadequate training for some individuals. This study aimed to investigate the impact of personal characteristics on learning performance in VR-based construction safety training using machine learning and SHAP (SHAPley Additional exPlanations). This study revealed that age exerted the greatest influence on learning performance, while work experience had the least impact. Furthermore, age exhibited a negative relationship with learning performance, indicating that the introduction of VR-based construction safety training can be effective for younger individuals. On the other hand, academic degree, qualifications, and work experience exhibited a positive relationship. To enhance learning performance for individuals with lower academic degree, it is necessary to provide content that is easier to understand. The lower qualifications and work experience have minimal impact on learning performance, so it is important to consider other learners' characteristics so as to provide appropriate educational content. This study confirmed that personal characteristics can significantly affect learning performance in VR-based construction safety training, highlighting the potential for leveraging these findings to provide effective safety training for construction workers.

Although various policies have been conducted on safety work of construction equipment such as lifts, tower cranes, and mobile cranes, institutional and managerial problems, and improvement measures, accidents are still not decreasing. This study tried to identify differences in the viewpoints of supervisors, safety managers, and construction machinery operators and to obtain survey data on the awareness and necessity of related safety education. In conclusion, accidents would be reduced when workers received effective training on accurate work methods, safety rules, and recognition and removal of risk factors.

By reviewing the existing researches of construction safety management, this study presented some problems; 1) preceding researches dealt only a formal system of safety management and did not focus on the practical safety management action, 2) there is an insufficient endeavor of utilizing the lessons teamed of successful construction sites and generalizing the success factors of safety management in the construction industry. The objective of this study is to propose and describe an effective construction safety management activity improvement reflecting success factors of the excellent construction cases and the preceding researches. To achieve this objective, the authors performed a case study of successful construction sites and proposed the major six safety activities. The author's point are illustrated through an explanation of the safety management activity improvement.

대부분의 건설현장에서 채택하고 있는 안전시공 사이클(안전시공일과)활용에 대하여 보다 더 나은 효과를 얻기 위하여 그 정확한 내용을 소개하고자 한다. 이 기법은 일본에서 80년대부터 적용을 시작하여 지금 현재 일본의 전 현장에서 활용되고 있고 이로인한 재해예방 효과도 큰 기법이다. 현대 일본에서의 건설업재해예방을 위한 운동은 크게 3가지로 볼 수 있는데 첫째는 안전시공 사이클운동이고, 둘째는 3대재해(추락, 토사붕괴 및 건설기계 재해)감소운동, 셋째는 안전교육 추진운동이다. 안전시공 사이클 운동은 이 3기둥 중 하나인 것이다.

Objectives: This study identified the labor union associates' perception and participation status on SHEW and analyzed these two Constructs correlations with Safety and health education at work(SHEW) in manufacture and construction industries. Methods: Self-administered survey was successfully finished by 103 labor union associates (91 employed in 78 manufacturing companies and 12 employed in 12 constructing companies over 12 areas). Two questionnaires, survey direction slip, the official letter to ask survey participation from Korea Ministry of Labor, and a posted envelop to return were delivered to each workplace labor union office in conveniently selected companies. Most participants' companies were at least medium to large in manufacturing industry and most associates were men and married. A survey questionnaire examined demographic characteristics, SHEW status (participation status included), and perceptions of SHEW. Results: Overall, manufacturing companies had better infrastructures for SHEW, employer support for SHEW, and current educators' competencies than constructing companies. These infrastructures for SHEW were closely correlated with company labor union participation on SHEW and the correlation coefficients were greater than any other expectations or needs variables for SHEW. Conclusions: The primary strategies for better participation and support from labor union need to be developed in supporting for organizational infrastructures related to SHEW and strengthening safety and health education training programs for supervisors or educators at work.

본 논문에서는 업무상 사고 재해자와 사망자가 가장 많은 공사금액 20억 원 미만 소규모 건설현장에서 떨어짐 재해를 줄이는 방안을 제시하여 전체 건설현장의 재해 감소에 기여하고자 하였다. 연구에 기반이 되는 이론(하인리히 법칙, 버드의 도미노 이론과 하베이 3E이론)을 검증하기 위하여 자료를 분석하고 국내·외 사례를 통해 선행연구를 실시하였다. 그 결과 떨어짐 재해발생원인을 다음과 같이 도출하였다. 첫째, 근로자의 안전·보건의식이 부족하다. 둘째, 떨어짐 방지 안전시설이 미비한 현장이대다수이다. 셋째, 위험성평가 제도의 현장 적용이 난이하다. 또한, 사례연구 분석을 통해 2015년~2016년 OO지역의 떨어짐 재해가 발생한 공사금액 20억원 미만 약 15개소 소규모 건설 현장을 방문하여 현장 소장을 대상으로 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 공사금액 20억 원 미만 소규모 건설현장의 떨어짐 재해를 줄이기 위한 개선방안으로 자발적으로 체험할 수 있는 근로자 교육, 떨어짐 방지 안전시설을 지원해주는 정부지원 그리고 위험성평가 간소화를 제안하였다.

In this study, the purpose of the study was to verify the relationship between the company's construction safety management system and workers' safety consciousness and safety observance behavior. A survey of 357 workers was conducted and a statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 25.0 program. As a result, the following main results were obtained: First, it was found that supervisor's capability, inner construction safety management, construction safety education, and construction disaster evaluation have significant effects on the worker's safety consciousness. Second, it was revealed that the worker's safety consciousness had a significant positive effect on the safety observance behavior. Third, it was shown that supervisor's capability, inner construction safety management, construction safety education, and construction disaster evaluation have significant effects on safety observance behavior. In addition, this study confirmed that the management supervisor's ability to handle safety at the work site is the most important factor in safety management in order to enhance the worker's safety consciousness and safety observance behavior.

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.
