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, the government is reinforcing safety management at construction sites to prevent safety accidents in construction works, and the safety management plan of workers is an important situation. Meanwhile, modular construction is expected to be gradually expanded to middle and high-rise buildings, but active measures to ensure worker safety are insufficient. This study is a preliminary study of the development of a checklist for preventive worker safety management. The purpose of this study is to derive a checklist classification system for the safety management of workers in the field of modular construction by preceding studies, case analysis, and expert advisory opinions. The classification system consists of large categories of factory manufacturing, transportation, and on-site construction, and the sub-system consists of six sub-classes: foundation work, frame work, modular frame installation work, finishing work, and facility work. Among them, the sub-classification of modular frame installation work consists of 12 unit works, centering on module lifting and assembly module work, which are the main construction processes. And the classification system reflects the three main management factors and contents for defined safety management. It is expected that the research results of this study can contribute to efficient safety management at the modular construction site.

최근들어 사업장에서의 안전 설비를 개선하기 위한 정부의 자금과 안전관리 수준을 높여 산업재해 예방을 위하여 제도 개선등에 의하여 산재 예방의 중요성이 불구하고 전체의 사업장중, 건설 재해의 현황은 좀처럼 줄어들지 않은 상황에 있다. 이는 작업장의 장기근속 긱간에 따른 작업자의 수보다는 건설 현장에서의 단기 작업자의 수요를 필요로 하고 있기 때문이라는 이유도 있지만, 건설 재해를 살펴보면 일반적인 재해가 반복적으로 일어나고 있다. 이는 제도적인 보완과 작업자의 안전교육을 통한 재해의 위험성을 알리는데 주안점을 두어야 한다고 할 수가 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 건설 재해를 예방하기 위한 가장 기초적인 방법인 노동부의 산업 재해분석자료를 통하여 일반적인 재해 현황, 재해의 발생 원인 및 특성을 분석하여 건설업에서 반복되어지는 재해를 파악하고 이에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. 이 연구의 결과, 재해는 연속적인 반복으로서, 우리 나라의 재해는 과거나 현재가 별 차이가 없다. 이는 재해의 불감증에서 나타난 결과이므로, 이에 대한 새로운 인식과 정부 및 노사 모두가 대비책에 대한 노력이 절실히 요구되어지며 , 산업재해의 통계자료또한 정확한 기초자료를 사용할 수 있게끔 할 수 있는 제도적인 방침이 필요로 한다는 것을 알 수가 있었다.

건설업계는 제조업과 특성이 달라 여러 가지 문제점이 엿보인다. 특히, 건설업 근골격계 질환에 대한 연구 및 지원은 별로 찾아볼 수가 없다. 근골격계 질환의 제조업과 건설업의 비율을 보았을 때 "2004 산업재해분석" 요양자 업종별 분포를 보면 제조업이 3,281명(79.79%)로 건설업의 63명(1.53%)보다 월등히 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 미국의 사례를 보았을 때, 2007년 업종별 분포를 보면 건설업이 42,867명(26.20%), 제조업이 101,437명(36.23%)로 우리나라에 비해 건설업 근골격계 질환자가 상대적으로 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 건설업에서의 근골격계 부담 작업 실태조사 등을 통하면 제도적 문제점이나, 근로자가 몰라서 질병에 이환되는 경우가 아닌가 한다. 건설업 근로자들은 건설업 특성상 근골격계 질환예방을 위한 도구를 거의 사용하지 못하고, 작업의 연속성, 지속성이 떨어지므로 부자연스럽고, 불편한 자세를 작업을 위해 수시로 반복하여 취할 수 밖에 없다. 따라서 건설업체에 중대재해를 줄이기 위한 노력 뿐 만 아니라, 열악한 건설업체의 근로자의 근골격계 질환 예방에 대한 제도적인 지원과 안전담당자 교육, 근로자에 대한 근골격계 질환 예방교육(스트레칭, 작업 자세, 동작, 근력강화, 적절한 휴식시간 부여) 등 대책이 절실히 필요하고 하겠다.

Forest projects often apply construction industry labor rates, without considering the demanding work conditions and labor intensity unique to forest operations, resulting in workplace issues. This study aims to analyze forest operations' characteristics and wage survey methods in other fields to establish a framework for surveying the wages of forest workers. The developed framework was tested through direct surveys conducted with all forest operation companies. Survey items included actual wages by occupation, identification and removal of outliers using quartile deviation, and occupation-based wage calculation. Results revealed that the appropriate wages for 2022 were as follows: KRW 163,376 for general workers, KRW 221,407 for special workers, KRW 250,045 for work leaders, and KRW 239,863 for wood cutters. These figures were 16.27% higher than those derived from the standard construction wage survey. The developed framework was validated by comparing the appropriate wages with both the standard construction wage survey and the forestry workers' wage. The results indicated that the wages calculated using the developed framework were 4.5% more similar to the forestry workers' wage compared with those from the standard construction wage survey. Consequently, the standard construction wage survey was deemed unsuitable for forest projects. To ensure efficient forest operations, it is imperative to conduct wage surveys using the developed framework over multiple years to accumulate sufficient data.

Finding causes of workers' unsafe behaviors is important to prevent construction accidents because 80 percent of accidents occur by workers' unsafe behaviors. In this regard, this research aims to investigate possible reasons of workers' unsafe behaviors based on workers' cognitive process model using System dynamics. This study is based on two ways of workers' cognitive process which are in relation to hazard perception and failure of hazard perception. Based on existing literature, causal loops for workers' cognitive process are developed to explain workers' habituation by staying out of accidents, safety learning by experience, failure of hazard perception, and attitude change by accidents. The interactions between the developed loops provide managerial insights to reduce workers' unsafe behaviors from a safety manager's perspective including increasing the probability of workers' hazard perception through knowledge management, maintaining workers' positive attitude toward safety, and controlling first-line supervisors to eliminate workers' unsafe behavior. The research allows us to better understand the causes and solutions of workers' unsafe behaviors in workers' cognitive perspectives.

In spite of many previous studies conducted to prevent safety accidents at construction sites, the frequency of safety accidents has not decreased. And recently, a lot of research has been done to analyze the causes of the accidents resulting from the personal characteristics and behaviors of managers or workers, and eliminate them. However, despite these efforts, safety accidents occur consistently as managers and workers shift their responsibilities for the safety accidents onto someone other than themselves. Therefore, in order to prevent safety accidents, this study investigated the consciousness of shifting responsibility among managers and workers and analyzed the correlation between factors influencing the consciousness of shifting responsibility. In addition, it proposed the quantitative levels of the consciousness of shifting responsibility based on the survey of managers and workers. The results of this study demonstrated that managers tend to the shift responsibility onto workers, whereas workers the shift responsibility onto managers. It was additionally demonstrated that there is a correlation between the consciousness of shifting responsibility and the factors influencing it. The findings of this study are expected to improve the safety awareness among managers and workers and make contributions in the theoretical and practical aspects of construction safety management.
