방하남 고용노동부 장관이 지난달 18일로 취임 100일을 맞이했다. 그간 방 장관은 발로 뛰는 장관, 소통과 커뮤니케이션의 전문가 등의 별칭이 붙을 정도로 집무의 상당부분을 현자에서 보냈다. 직접 사고현장을 찾아 원인을 찾고 대책을 강구한 것은 물론 또 관련 정부부처의 힘을 하나로 모으고, 사고의 우려가 높은 화학 및 전자 반도체업계의 대표들을 한자리에 모아 안전의 중요성을 강조했다. 그리고 각계의 의견을 지속적으로 수렴해가며 쉼 없이 대책을 마련했다. 그 결과 안전을 중시하겠다는 사업주들의 선언이 잇따르고, 멈춤 없이 발생하던 중대 재해도 다소 주춤해졌다. 행동과 실천으로 산재 감소에 앞장서고 있는 방하남 장관을 만나 산업안전 분야에 대한 정책 방향을 들어봤다.

Purpose: The construction industry is a complex mechanism in which multiple processes are carried out at the same time, and the frequency and severity of accidents account for a higher proportion than other industries, and the accident fatality rate also accounts for more than 50% of all industries. In order to reduce such accidents, the government's disaster investigation method analyzes the limitations from the system safety point of view and proposes improvement plans. Method: The main contents of the government's serious accident investigation were identified, and the effectiveness/adequacy was analyzed from the system safety point of view. Result: Disaster investigation and analysis techniques tailored to violations and compliance were limited in providing fundamental solutions, and alternatives for accident prevention were possible for each component of the system when safety constraints, controls, and hierarchical interactions were combined. Conclusion: When combining the disaster investigation and analysis method from the current accident analysis method from the perspective of system safety, it is possible to identify the problems of interaction by class and communication process, so it is possible to suggest alternatives to prevent accidents from an integrated perspective.

Despite the trend of decreasing accidents, falling accidents in the construction industry have not decreased and are even rising. Most major accidents are falling accidents caused by hanging scaffolding and are mostly serious. We conducted a review of the literature, institutions, and regulations, which showed that domestic standards are not unified because they are drawn up by referring to overseas standards for hanging scaffolding. New regulations or standards should be established, which should reflect the safety plans for equipment, work advance plans, education, and management. If facility improvement plan for Hanging Scaffolding and implementation of revision of the current work use, regulations and guides are implemented, it will be recognized in advance of the causes of the accident statistics and the classification system and will be the basis for the implementation of joint efforts by workers, managers, supervisors and owners to reduce accidents.

Social interest in occupational safety and health is increasing due to ESG management and the implementation of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. This study examines the current status of occupational accidents, which is the safety level of energy companies, and the impact of occupational accidents on the management performance (sales per capita, operating profit per capita, operating margin per capita) of energy companies over the period of 2015 to 2021 was empirically analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the level of occupational accidents in the 157 energy companies to be analyzed was lower than the occupational injury accident rate in Korea, but the disease rate was high.As a result of analyzing the impact of occupational accidents on management performance, it is estimated that an increase in the occupational accident rate reduces per capita sales, per capita operating profit, and gross margin rate.Through this study, the vulnerability of energy companies to occupational accidents was confirmed, and the direct and indirect costs of occupational accidents quantified the negative impact on management performance.Referring to the results of this study, energy companies should strengthen their efforts to prevent occupational accidents by increasing investment in safety and health to protect the lives of valuable workers and create sustainable business performance.

The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship between self-efficacy and safety consciousness of health belief factors and how they affect the disaster prevention behavior of construction workers using TBM. To this end, a research model is presented that applies the main variables of the Health Belief Theory, a social psychological health behavior change model developed to predict and explain health-related behaviors. To empirically verify the research model of this study, a survey was conducted among construction workers who have experience in using TBMs for chemical plant construction. The results showed that, first, the perceived severity of construction workers utilizing chemical plant construction has a significant effect on self-efficacy and safety consciousness; second, the perceived probability of construction workers utilizing chemical plant construction has a significant effect on self-efficacy and safety consciousness. Third, the perceived obstacles of construction workers utilizing chemical plant construction have a significant effect on self-efficacy and safety consciousness. Fourth, the perceived benefits of construction workers utilizing chemical plant construction were found to have a significant effect on self-efficacy and safety awareness. The purpose of this study is to reduce critical accidents through disaster prevention behavior of chemical plant construction workers through TBM.

As the incidence and mortality of serious disasters in the construction industry are the highest, various efforts are being made in Korea to reduce them. Among them, risk assessment is used as data for disaster reduction measures and evaluation of risk factors at the construction stage. However, the existing risk assessment involves the subjectivity of the performer and is vulnerable to the domestic construction site. This study established a DB classification system for risk assessment with the aim of early identification and pre-removal of risks by quantitatively deriving risk factors using BIM in the risk assessment field and presents a methodology for risk assessment using BIM. Through this, prior removal of risks increases the safety of construction workers and reduces additional costs in the field of safety management. In addition, since it can be applied to new construction methods, it improves the understanding of project participants and becomes a tool for communication. This study proposes a framework for deriving quantitative risks based on BIM, and will be used as a base technology in the field of risk assessment using BIM in the future.
