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.

건설현장의 안전사고는 안전불감증과 허술한 재난관리시스템으로 인한 인재(人災)가 대부분이다. 따라서 여름 장마철과 혹서기에 대비, 현장의 감전사고 및 침수 붕괴재해 예방, 그 밖의 수해방지대책 등을 수립해 현장근로자에게 사전교육을 철저히 하는 것이 재해예방의 첫걸음이다. 특히 재난관리시스템 및 매뉴얼을 구축한 뒤 재난 유형과 상활별 시나리오를 구성, 이를 바탕으로 사전교육과 모의훈련을 통해 긴급조치 및 대피계획을 수립 실시하는 등 구체적인 재해대책 요령을 숙지하면 재해를 줄일 수 있다. 본지는 회원사의 공사안전에 참고가 되도록 한국산업안전보건공단에서 제공한 장마철 혹서기 건설 현장 안전지침을 게재한다.

건설현장 특히 아파트 공사는 국내 전체 공사중 가장 많은 현장을 점유하고 있다. 이들 아파트 현장에서 사망사고가 발생하는 경우 재해율 상승으로 해당 회사는 PQ심사에서 감점을 받아 공사수주에 큰 영향을 미침은 물론, 해당 현장의 공사진행에 막대한 지장을 초래하여 어려운 경영에 압박을 주어 결국, 연이은 사고로 이어질 수 있는 불행한 사태까지 발생시키는 요인이 된다.(중략)

최근 조선소에서 선박 제작 중 용융된 쇳물에 용접(절단)작업용 LPG호스가 녹아 가스가 누출, 폭발한 사고 발생함에 따라 한국가스안전공사가 용접(절단)작업용 제품의 제조 및 사용실태 현장조사를 실시했다. 조사결과 대형 조선소 등에서는 유사사고를 방지하기 위해 여러 가지 안전대책을 자체적으로 마련.시행중이나 일부 작업환경에서는 부적정한 사례도 발견할 수 있었다. 또한 용접(절단)작업용 가스 기자재의 검사품(또는 KS품) 사용에 대한 강제규정이 없어 현장에서는 가격이 저렴한 제품을 선호하여 상대적으로 불안전요소가 많은 실정으로 나타났다.

Identifying potential accidents at construction sites is a major concern for the construction industry, and, according to the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, the death rate of safety accidents caused by construction equipment is particularly high at 19.8% as of 2016. Although Internet of Things (IoT) has not been applied widely in construction sites, it can build an operating system that feeds accurate and useful information to construction accident management for identifying potential accidents. In this context, this study proposes an IoT- and RTLS-based construction equipment safety accident prevention system, which can be useful for preventing and managing safety accidents caused by construction equipment. Future deployment of such system would contribute not only to the safety of workers but also to efficient equipment and manpower operation.

In 2017, the ratio of the number of victims and deaths in the construction industry was the highest with 25.2% and 29.6%, respectively. Especially, as safety accidents at construction sites continue to increase, the economic loss is greatly increased too. Therefore, in order to prevent safety accidents in the construction work, the safety risk assessment index by type of construction was developed, and the main results of this study are as follows. First, 17 factors related to safety accidents at construction sites were derived through survey and interview survey, and this study suggested 9 items(process, type of construction, progress rate, contract amount, number of floors, safety education, working days and weather) throughout the expert advisory meeting. Second, the risk assessment index for safety accidents was developed based on the ratio and intensity of safety accidents. Third, to verify the risk assessment model, the construction safety risk assessment index by type of construction was derived by surveying and analyzing the statistics of the construction accident. In addition, the risk strength was calculated by dividing human damage caused by construction safety accidents into those killed and injured. The risk assessment index based on the frequency and intensity of safety accidents by type of construction is expected to be utilized as basic data when assessing the risk of similar projects in the future.

Purpose: This paper conducts IoT and CCTV-based safety monitoring to analyze accidents and potential risks occurring at construction sites, and detect and analyze risks such as falls and collisions or abnormalities and to establish a system for early warning using devices like a walkie-talkie and chatbot service. Method: A safety management service model is presented through smart construction technology case studies at the construction site and review a relevant literature analysis. Result: According to 'Construction Accident Statistics,' in 2021, there were 26,888 casualties in the construction industry, accounting for 26.3% of all reported accidents. Fatalities in construction-related accidents amounted to 417 individuals, representing 50.5% of all industrial accident-related deaths. This study suggests implementing AI chatbot services for construction site safety management utilizing IoT-based health monitoring technologies in smart construction practices. Construction sites where stakeholders such as workers participate were demonstrated by implementing an artificial intelligence chatbot system by selecting major risk areas within the workplace, such as scaffolding processes, openings, and access to hazardous machinery. Conclusion: The possibility of commercialization was confirmed by receiving more than 90 points in the satisfaction survey of participating workers regarding the empirical results of the artificial intelligence chatbot service at construction sites.

Construction workers occupies only $10{\%}$ of the entire industry, but the $30{\%}$ of the critical accidents in whole industry occurs in construction industry. Since there are many dangerous process and lack of safety information measures in the construction industry, both short and long term operation in education, training, and information are necessary. Examples for existing accidents in construction sites will be very useful for preventing accidents. And if the research for individual accidents perfectly achieved, it will give valuable information to construction sites which will be very useful for preventing accidents. The object of this study is to develop construction safety information system to give safety information to construction process by work field. The data base are made from 860 major accidents mostly in buildings and apartments in year 1999 through 2000(KOSHA).

The objectives of this study is to develop evaluation indicators for the quantitative evaluation of construction safety culture level in order to prevent accidents by evaluating the level of safety culture and each safety culture elements of the construction site and to present the areas that should be focused on improvements. In this study, it was presented assessment indicators of the construction safety culture by analyzing previous studies for safety culture, by categorizing items as an important element of safety culture hierarchically and by reflecting the opinion of the construction site professional personnels using AHP analysis methodology. The assessment indicators of the construction safety culture were structured the details of the leadership, systems, and personal characteristics and derived weighted value by the pairwise comparison to quantify the detail assessment indicators in order to assess the construction safety culture level. This study presents a safety culture assessment indicators for the construction site to suggest directions for improving the construction site safety culture and prevent the accidents of the construction site by derived via a safety culture assessment of construction site.

According to the recent "Status of Industrial Accidents at the End of December 2020" released by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, each industry is subject to industrial accidents. The number of accident deaths by construction industry, accident deaths by accident type fell, and accident deaths by workplace size were 5 to 49, indicating that most accident deaths occurred due to falling accidents at small construction sites. Therefore, urban living houses are small construction sites, and the probability of falling accidents is very high. Fall simulation training for disaster occurrence is conducted mainly by large construction ordering organizations in the public sector, and it is the first case in Korea that a housing construction company has conducted at a small construction site. This study analyzed and presented the definition, construction characteristics, and safety management status of urban living houses, and developed and spread an emergency relief procedure manual in the event of a fall accident to minimize deaths.
