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.

소규모 건설 사업장에서는 한 사람이 과도하게 많은 관리영역에 대해서 책임을 져야하므로 특정 영역에 대해 집중적인 관리가 불가능하다. 실제로 이와 같은 소규모 프로젝트는 작은 규모로 인해서 정부의 관리 통제에서 면제되고 있는 바, 이는 소규모 건설 사업장에서의 안전관리와 안전관리에 대한 의식 수준이 낮은 주된 이유 중 하나이다. 정부는 그간 전국적 사고 발생 건수를 줄이기 위해 지속적으로 노력하고 있지만 매년 백여 명이 넘는 근로자가 건설현장에서 사망하고 있다. 이는 그간의 관리 방법으로는 일정 수준의 목표를 달성하고자 함에 있어 상당한 한계가 있다는 것을 시사한다. 건설 사업장에서 발생하는 각종 안전사고는 건축물의 대형화 복잡화함에 따라 다양한 형태로 발생되며 그 중 대형건설사는 지속적인 안전관리를 통해 안전관리 수준이 향상되었고 상대적으로 소규모 건설 사업장과는 안전수준의 격차는 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 안전 관리가 미흡하고 전체사고의 반 이상을 차자하는 소규모 건설현장의 문제점을 파악하고 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The construction industry is suffering from a large number of fatal accidents. As many field works are being conducted in a dangerous condition such as working at height and adverse weather, they are always exposed to safety accidents with high frequency and severity compared to other industries. Such risk is even larger in small construction sites, but studies that focus on combinatorial factors leading to fatal accidents in small construction sites are lacking. Thus, in order to reduce the fatal accidents in the construction industry, this study analyzed 1,438 occupational death accidents cases in small construction sites and, then, conducted the association rule analysis to extract ten combinatorial factors that frequently led to fatal accidents in small construction sites. Based on the extracted association rules, this study also discussed possible countermeasures to reduce the fatal accidents. The results were explained to experts, who agreed on the results of the study. This study contributes to the construction safety management theory by providing a detailed analysis of fatal accidents in small construction sites that can be used for developing and deploying safety policies and educations for small construction site workers.

The government and of the Safety and Health Corporation have continuously carried out safety activities such as supervision, inspection, technical guidance and financial support in order to reduce accidents on the construction site. However, the number of disasters on the construction site is increasing every year, Which accounts for more than 80% of the total number of casualties. It is necessary to investigate the implementation status of safety and health management in the field of small-size construction site, and to provide the appropriate technical guidance plan to the relevant work places. Also, it is necessary to reduce the disaster at the small-size construction site, The purpose of this study is Improvement Plan to Enhancing the Effectiveness of Technical Guidance Project for Safety Control of Small Construction Site.

Only one person should be responsible for many area of works at a small construction sites with less than contract amount of USD 0.3 million. therefore, he can not be an expert in one area. Actually, this kind of small projects are not controlled by the Government because those small size of projects are exempted in following the Government control, due to certain level of small size. The above reason makes those small projects loose with an aspect of safety management without safety consciousness and safety management. The Government makes his effort to decrease nationally accident occurrences but there is considerably deep limitation to achieve a certain level of goal despite a fact that there have been more than 100 workers died annually. It is expected that some proposed management ideas technique with behavior-based safety management can be contributed to decreasing accidents at small construction sites.

Purpose: Small-scale construction sites have insufficient systematic safety management activities, and due to the characteristics of the construction site, the production structure is complex due to external environmental factors, and the risk of construction equipment is very high. We would like to propose a checklist method among practical risk assessment techniques that can derive risk factors for disaster prevention at small construction sites and reduce disasters. Method: Risk factors were derived by analyzing literature research and disaster cases, and detailed work for a checklist of risk assessment suitable for small-scale construction sites was classified based on risk factor items. Result: Hazard factors were divided into 6 major categories, and 29 detailed types of work were classified based on actual work types, and 80 detailed works were classified accordingly. Conclusion: By arranging risk factors suitable for small-scale construction sites according to the classification system, the lack of expertise in the construction site can be supplemented, and risk factors can be derived more easily and disaster reduction can be expected through establishment of safety measures.

As the quality of life has been improving, people are getting higher interest and higher expectation for safety. However, the accident rate at the construction site is still high. Therefore, it is urgent to secure the safety at the construction work. Due to the nature of the construction industry, construction sites are directly exposed to the external environment. The possibility of accident occurrence is increased due to various factors such as the always variable processes, the diversity of manpower input, the increase in vulnerable class, and the danger of construction equipment..Particularly, the disasters occurring at the small- or medium-sized construction sites (budget ≤ 12 billion KRW) account for 88.9% of the total disasters at construction sites (73.4% for casualty). It was due to the lack of management caused by the absence of supervisors and insufficient safety measures. Moreover, it is difficult for the small- or medium-sized construction sites to apply basic safety measures such as safety education and safety facility installation by themselves in order to prevent disasters because they don't have sufficient safety organizations. It is because they have relatively less safety personnel and poorer technology system than large-sized construction sites. Therefore, in order to reduce accidents in construction, it is necessary to prevent accidents at the small- and medium-sized construction sites. From this point of view, the objectives of this study were to identify the key risk items causing accidents frequently by analyzing the accidents at construction sites and identifying problems associated with safety management, and to secure the safety at the small- and medium-sized construction sites.
