Construction work is a labor-intensive industry, which is required systematic production activities using materials, manpower, and equipment. Among them, manpower resources play a very important role in achieving efficiently production in the organization. Construction work is highly dependent on construction craft workers, and the level of proficiency can be directly related to the construction productivity and quality. However, a rapidly aging construction craft workers in Korea, is being replaced by a foreign construction craft workers because of advoidance of new laborers in the construction site. In the future, if the continuous development and management of construction manpower is not made properly, it may be lead to adverse effects such as setbacks in production, delayed completion, faulty construction, industrial disasters, and decreased productivity in construction site. In this study, it was proposed four important factors for work capacity management of construction craft workers. These were ensuring of physical strength through the health management of construction craft workers, securing of proficiency through career management, ensuring of productivity through work capacity and establing of informatization through work capacity management. By introducing a systematic system, it is possible to improve construction craft workers' professionalism, enhancing the level of welfare, reflecting the realities of labor costs, increasing the quantitative and qualitative levels of construction craft workers, Futhermore it was demanded the continued interest and policy support for the realization of effective management of construction craft workers.

건설기능인력은 최종 생산자로서 생산성 및 품질에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소임에도 불구하고 방치된 채 고령화되고 고갈되는 양상을 띄고 있다. 이는 궁극적으로 젊은 기능인력의 건설사업 회피에서 기인한 것이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 양질의 기능인력 수급을 위해서 기능인력의 자격 및 직급체계를 제안하여 건설기능인력 시장에 젊은 기능인력을 끌어들이는데 있다. 먼저, 본 연구에서는 국내 건설기능인력 체계의 현황과 문제점을 연구하였다. 그리고 전문가와의 면담과 독일, 호주의 사례 연구를 통해 국내에 적용 가능한 자격 및 직급체계 구축방안을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 건설기능인력의 자격 및 직급체계의 활성화는 기능인력이 단순한 노무라는 이미지에서 탈피하여 전문분야임을 인식시킬 수 있으며, 젊고 유능한 기능인력을 건설산업으로 유입시킴으로써 건설기능인력의 생산성 향상, 전문성 강화, 고령화를 탈피시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 사회보장제도와의 연계를 통하여 고용안정화를 도모할 수 있을 것이다.

Unlike other craft workers, construction craft workers perform their work under diverse working conditions, which means that their working pattern and postures continuously change. While construction craft workers are vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders, due to the unique factors of their working conditions, their actual condition has not yet been accurately investigated. For this reason, this research aims to develop a method of measuring the musculoskeletal load of construction workers by reviewing various motion measuring methods to which state-of-the-art sensors are applied. This research is expected to serve as the basis for developing a system to measure the musculoskeletal load of construction workers.

The characteristics of construction work cause excessive strain on specific body parts of the construction craft workers. However, there are few tools to mane an accurate measurement of the load on the musculoskeletal system, and the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) experienced by the workers have not been properly understood. So, there is an urgent need for development of a tool to measure the load on the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, this research aims to develop a musculoskeletal load measuring device for construction workers. In order to eliminate the noise and errors, an accelerometer, gyro sensors and the Kalman Filter are used in the device developed in this research.

미국 건설산업은 숙련된 기능공의 부족이라는 도전적 과제를 경험해 오고 있다. 이 문제는 다음과 같은 여러 원인들에 의해 야기된것이다. 건설산업의 이미지 저하, 훈련과 교육의 부족, 불분명한 경력관리, 임금의 저하, 노동인력의 구성변화. 건설인력과 관련된 이러한 문제점들을 근본적으로 해결하기 위해 Two-Tier Work Force Strategy라는 획기적인 접근방법이 Center for Construction Industry Studies (CCIS)에서 제안되었다. Two-Tier Work Force Strategy는 Tier I과 Tier II Strategy로 구성되어 있다. Tier I 전략은 기술이 떨어지고 단순작업이 가능한 기능인력을 활용하며, 많은 수의 현장관리인원을 필요로 한다. Tier II 전략은 상대적으로 잘 교육받고, 기술수준이 높은 소수의 기능인력을 활용하며, 그들은 기능능력과 더불어 관리능력도 갖추고 있어야 한다. 그들은 더 높은 급여를 받지만, 높은 기술수준으로 인해 더 생산적으로 일할 수 있고, 다중기술의 보유로 더 오래 현장에머물며, 안전, 품질, 공정, 그리고 원가적 측면에서 향상된 프로젝트 성과를 가져온다. Two-Tier Work Force Strategy는 근래의 기능인력에 대한 문제점을 해결하고, 미래에 더 나은 노동환경을 가져올 수 있는 방안이 될 수 있을 것이다.

The 7,993 cases of Survey Report of Fatal Industrial Accidents conducted jointly by the MEOL and the KOSHA for the recent seven years(2007-2013) were categorized according to personal and occupational characteristics, industry types, business sizes, job types, activities at the time accident, types of accidents, material agents(assailing materials), unsafe conditions, and unsafe acts. And it is found that among the 72.2 percent of fatal occupational accidents in the construction and manufacturing industries are caused by falling, sticking, bumping and being caught under objects & overturning. For this study, through the empirical analysis on causes of fatal industrial accidents, was used to identity high risk groups based on total data of 7,993 victims of occupational accidents. An annual fatal occupational injury (FOI) rate per 10,000 workers was about 0.47‱. The middle-aged group and the elderly group showed the highest FOI rates per 10,000 workers (0.73‱, 0.80‱), and the daily workers showed the highest FOI rate (1.46‱), and the craft and related trades workers showed the highest FOI rate (2.17‱). In case of industry type the mining industry (7.26‱) showed the highest FOI rate, followed by the sewerage, waste management, materials recovery and remediation activity industry (3.91‱) and the construction industry (2.71‱). The primary high risk target group that requires a strategy designed to reduce fatal occupation injuries caused by falling and bumping & contact(collision) is the construction industry, and the secondary high risk target group in the construction industry is classified as the equipment, machine operating and assembling workers in the construction industry, those aged 50 years old and above need the prevention measures against bumping & contact(collision) and being caught under an object & falling(objects), while those aged less than 50 years old need prevention measures against falling(persons).

Background: Due to an increasing number of workers aged 50 years and above, the number of those employed is also on the rise, and those workers aged 50 and over has exceeded 50% of the total fatal occupational injuries. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the selection and concentration by identifying the characteristics of high-risk groups necessary for an effective prevention against and reduction of fatal occupational injuries. Methods: This study analyzed the characteristics of high-risk groups and the occupational injury fatality rate per 10,000 workers among the workers aged 50 and over through a multi-dimensional analysis by sex, employment status of workers, industry and occupation by targeting 4,079 persons who died in fatal occupational injuries from January 2007 to December 12. Results: The share of the workers aged 50 years and above is increasing every year in the total fatal occupational injuries occurrence, and the high-risk groups include 'male workers' by sex, 'daily workers' by worker's status, 'craft and related-trades workers' by occupation, and 'mining' by industry. Conclusion: The most frequent causal objects of fatal occupational injuries of the workers aged 50 years and above are found out to be 'installment and dismantlement of temporary equipment and material on work platforms including scaffold' in the construction industry and 'mobile crane, conveyor belt and fork lifts' in the manufacturing industry.

The goal of this study was to investigate some significant factors to influence level of safety at plant construction field and analyze degree of risk by work classification. Currently, there are lots of construction fields for the nuclear power plant for electricity generation, and our government also planned constructing more nuclear power plant in near future. However, much of the safety literature neglected the degree of risk factors on the plant construction field. Safety managers participated in the brainstorming session for drawing decision criteria of the degree of risk (i.e., significant factors). Then, they were asked to answer a structured questionnaire which was developed for drawing most important factors. Finally, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to analyze level of risk by work classification. The following results were obtained. First, total twelve factors judging degree of risk were found in the brainstorming session. Second, the questionnaire showed four significant factors, including number of workers, working environments, skill of craft and accident experience. Third, the results of AHP showed Architecture work is the most dangerous work among 6 work types. The results could be used to reduce degree of risk in construction field of the nuclear power plant.
