The expressway construction work is being recently diversified even the working environments and the working kinds due to getting large scale, complexity, and high technology. The accidents are increasing according to large scale even in construction equipment and to a rise in high-ground work, thereby being required an effort of reducing accidents. However, it is insufficient in a means of coping with the technically safety management of using specific and scientific method. In order to prevent accident, a specific plan is needed that can apply each in variables to safety management by analyzing the accident types and accident factors with statistical method. Accordingly, this study carried out investigate on accidents for 12 years in the expressway construction work, and aimed to analyze characteristics on the accident type and conversion disaster-victim number according to factors with occurrence of accidents. Thus, the empirical analysis was performed. As a result of research, first, as a result of verifying significant difference with accident type by accident factor, the significant difference was shown between a cause for occurrence of accident and height with occurrence of accident. Second, among factors by period, the time with occurrence of accident was indicated to have significant difference from conversion disaster-victim number. Among factors by work condition, the cause for occurrence of accident, the height with occurrence of accident, and the type with occurrence of accident were indicated to have significant difference from conversion disaster-victim number. What suggested by analyzing characteristics in these factors and variables has important significance as a countermeasure for safety management.

Human error, a leading cause of construction accidents, emphasizes the need for minimization to reduce such incidents. However, due to the nature of the construction industry, workers operate within the collective environment of a construction site. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of safety awareness levels within construction sites on the human errors committed by construction workers, from an organizational perspective. The analysis revealed that human errors directly impact construction accidents and that safety awareness levels within construction sites influence the human errors committed by construction workers. Specifically, a strong correlation was observed between slip errors(unintentional actions or oversights) and safety awareness levels in nearly all domains of construction site safety. This study highlights that by elevating safety awareness levels within construction sites, the likelihood of construction worker slips - and by extension, construction accidents - can be significantly reduced.

This study aims to develop a framework for an accident prediction model leveraging a deep neural network algorithm, specifically tailored for small-scale construction sites. Notably, the incidence of accidents in the construction sector is markedly higher compared to other industries, with a significant contribution from small-scale sites. The challenging nature of construction in urban settings, coupled with the increasing frequency of adverse weather conditions, is likely to escalate accident risks at these sites. Anticipating and mitigating accidents at small-scale construction sites is therefore crucial to decrease the overall industry accident rate. Consequently, this research introduces a Deep Neural Network-based model for forecasting accidents at small-scale construction sites. The framework and findings of this study are poised to serve as a guideline for the safety management of small-scale construction projects, ultimately aiding in the realization of safer, more sustainable construction practices at these sites.

가스보일러에 의한 CO 중독사고가 겨울철에 자주 발생함에 따라 한국가스안전공사 가스보일러 사고예방대책협의회는 CO중독사고 예방대책을 마련하고 예방활동에 들어갔다. 그동안 협의회가 보일러의 제조.설치단계에서부터 검사 강화 및 기 설치된 보일러의 제조자 및 시공자의 안전관리구축 등 안전관리체계의 개선을 통해 가스보일러 사고 방지에 크게기여 했으나. 아직도 가스보일러에 의한 CO중독사고가 근절되지 않고 있다. 이에 따라 협의회는 CO중독사고 예방을 위해 "가스보일러 설치관련 고시와 시공지침에 의한 철저한 시공, 꾸준한 안전관리가 중요하나 보다 근본적으로 무자격자에 의한 시공 차단에적극 앞장서 사고예방에 만전을 기할 것"을 강조했다. 협의회가 발표한 가스보일러 사고현황은 다음과 같으며, 가스보일러의 설치기준은 협회 홈페이지(www.kmcca.or.kr) 공개자료실을 참조 바란다.

Death accidents rates in construction industry is increasing high recently. Such a phenomenon may be seen as a limitation of current management methods and legal actions. Therefore, purpose of this study was to find priorities of construction Workers safety activities related to motivational factors and to check perception differences between construction workers and construction engineers and to find a main factor of workers attitude, behavioral causes and find a way to reduce the accidents causing in construction industry. For the research, we did a survey with construction workers and construction engineers asking about 3 top motivators 'economic, environmental, safety, cultural, and administrative factors' in 21 details. According to the survey, the biggest difference between construction workers and construction engineers was about a working environment and safety cultural factors. Also, workers and engineers were both positive about safety incentive. Based on the results of this study, safety accidents will be reduced through worker-oriented management.
