The construction environment has been declared as a hazard prone area due to high number of accident and death. The study aims to identify influential factors that contribute to poor safety practices and its consequences on construction workers in Cape Coast Metropolis. Seventy respondents were taken as the sample size for the study. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data obtained from the field. Findings show that poor site management, working without safety gadgets, failure to use their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and negligence of workers were the main causes of accidents on sites. Poor site management had the highest ranking among the seven variables. Effects of poor safety practices on building construction site and delays in work execution were due to injury of workers, extra cost due to payment of compensation to injured victims, not motivated due to injury of worker and declined reputation of firm. Management team should motivate workers for safe work done, provide adequate PPE for their workers on site and have documented health and safety policy on site. Site authorities and management team should be on site regularly to ensure proper safety practices on construction site.

우리나라의 건설재해 사망자 수는 증가하고 있으며 건설재해 발생 원인의 대부분 인적요인이었다. 건설근로자의 안전활동에 대한 자발적 참여는 이러한 인적요인 개선과 건설재해예방을 효과를 높일 수 있다. 그러므로 건설근로자의 자발적 참여를 위해 근로자의 동기요인 충족에 대한 연구의 필요성이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 건설현장 근로자의 안전활동 동기요인별로 현장 시공관리자와 건설사업관리자는 근로자의 어떤 안전 동기요인을 중요하게 다루고 있는지를 비교하고자 한다. 본 연구는 20개의 근로자의 안전 동기요인에 대한 설문결과를 분석하였으며 요인에 대한 T검정을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 근로자의 임금과 같은 경제요인 부분에서 시공관리자와 건설사업관리자 간의 가장 큰 의견 차이를 보였다. 그러므로 근로자의 경제적 동기에 따른 안전관리는 두 집단 간의 의견조율이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 외국인 근로자 중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있는 중국 조선족 근로자와 한국인 근로자를 대상으로 하여 조선족 및 한국인 근로자의 근로조건을 비교하고, 근로조건이 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 그래서 근로조건이 이러한 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 기본임금, 급식, 여가시설은 직무만족에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 한국인 근로자와 조선족 근로자를 서로 비교하여 본 결과, 조선족 근로자에게 기본임금이 주는 영향은 기존의 평균 결과보다도 높은 수치로 확인되었으며, 급식과 여가시설은 조선족 근로자에게는 영향을 거의 주지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 이를 통하여 조선족 근로자와 한국인 근로자는 영향을 주는 변수가 서로 다른 것이 확인되었다.

Metro subway construction is a field that requires a great deal of professional manpower. The aging of professionals has a negative impact on both productivity and health, owing to poor working environments, heavy lifting, underground work, and other factors. To address this issue, the government is progressively revising and enforcing health management law and regulation in the construction industry. Thus, the job stress and work ability of many professional subway construction workers, who are rapidly aging, are being analyzed to ensure their safety and improve their health. In this study, the Macpa stress index of Busan Metro Subway construction workers from Sasang to Hadan line was measured by using a Macpa measurement machine, and a work ability survey was conducted by using the questionnaire that was developed by the FIOH. The independent variables were age, years of service, job position, employment type, and occupation. While, the dependent variables were the Macpa stress index and work ability. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used because it was difficult to assume that the statistics of this study represented a normal distribution. The results showed that age, job position, and employment type affected Macpa stress index and revealed that as the age of the workers increased, their stress levels increased as well. Additionally, job position and employment type affected the work ability of the metro subway construction workers. In terms of job position, the technical engineers were under a lot of stress, and whereas the managers had the best work ability. The technical engineers were more stressed than the other workers because of a poor working environment. In terms of employment type, daily workers were under more stress and lower work ability than others.

안전지식 함양, 안전기능 체득, 안전태도 향상을 목표로 하는 안전교육은 별다른 제한 없이 효율적으로 사용될 수 있는 중요한 안전대책일 뿐만 아니라 재해를 감소시키기 위한 수단 중에 제일 큰 우선도를 갖는다. 그러나 건설현장에서의 안전교육은 매우 형식에 치우쳐 교육을 위한 교육일 뿐이며 근로자들에게 안전교육 시간은 지루하고 따분한 시간일 뿐이다. 이러한 이유는 자기와 상관없는 교육내용과 개인적 특성을 무시한 일괄교육에서 기인하며 이는 더 이상 근로자의 자발적 참여를 유도하지 못한다. 따라서 건설근로자들의 개인적 특성에 맞는 다양한 안전교육 모델 개발이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 건설근로자의 개인적 특성에 맞는 안전교육 모델을 구축하기 위해 건설현장에서 종사하는 근로자를 대상으로 설문조사와 통계분석을 실시하여 개인적 특성에 맞는 안전교육 모델을 제시하였다.

이 연구는 소규모 건설현장 근로자의 화재안전관리 운영실태를 분석하고 문제점을 도출하여 개선방안을 제시함으로써, 향후 이들이 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 실무적 기초자료를 제시함을 목적으로 연구를 수행한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 소규모 건설공사현장 근로자는 건설기능인력의 연령대가 고령자이고, 종사경력은 건설기능력이 짧았으며, 직종은 대다수가 건축공종에 작업을 하고 있으며, 고용형태는 비정규직 일당제로 근무를 하고 있는 것으로 분석 되었다. 둘째, 소규모 건설공사현장 근로자들의 화재안전관리 개선방안으로 화재 위험성 요인에 대한 허가와 관리를 체계화하고, 화재위험관리를 위해 소방안전관리자를 배치하여 관리감독하는 장치가 필요하겠으며, 화재시 다양한 피난통로 확보와 화재 발생을 건설공사 현장 내 모든 작업자들에게 알릴 수 있는 비상경보설비를 갖추고, 피난경로 접근과 시야 확보가 취약한 지하공간에 대해서는 간이피난유도선과 비상조명등을 임시소방시설로 설치를 강화하는 방안을 제시하였다. 또한, 현실적인 대피훈련, 화재VR훈련, 흥미있는 교육프로그램 개발을 통해 산업재해를 줄이는 방안이 필요하다.

General workers who assist various technicians in different fields with their work across the whole construction sites without having a particular skill are at risk of the highest accident rate and their accident form becomes varied. Accordingly, this study was conducted to identify the relationship between form of safety accident and influence factor in general workers and analyze accident severity by influence factor. The followings are the results from this study. First, as a result of analyzing major form of accident and influence factors in general workers with network analysis methodology, nine forms of accident and seventeen influence factors were drawn. Second, it was found that in accident severity among general workers, collapsing, among various forms of accident, appeared the highest, followed by fall, electric shock, fire, hit by an object, bumped against, trip, scission getting cut chopped in order. Third, main points of special, concentrated, and permanent management were presented in order to reduce the safety accident in general workers effectively.

Background: The physical work demands of construction work can be reduced using ergonomic measures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ergonomic measures related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among construction workers. Methods: A questionnaire was sent at baseline and 2 years later to 1,130 construction workers. We established (1) the proportion of workers reporting an increase in their use of ergonomic measures, (2) the proportion of workers reporting a decrease in MSDs, (3) the relative risk for an increase in the use of ergonomic measures and a decrease in MSDs, and (4) workers' knowledge and opinions about the use of ergonomic measures. Results: At follow-up, response rate was 63% (713/1,130). The proportion of workers using ergonomic measures for vertical transport increased (34%, 144/419, p < 0.01); for measures regarding horizontal transport and the positioning of materials, no change was reported. The proportion of workers reporting shoulder complaints decreased (28%, 176/638, p = 0.02). A relationship between the use of ergonomic measures and MSDs was not found; 83% (581/704) of the workers indicated having sufficient knowledge about ergonomic measures. Lightening the physical load was reported to be the main reason for using them. Conclusion: Only the use of ergonomic measures for vertical transport increased over a 2-year period. No relationship between the use of ergonomic measures and MSDs was found. Strategies aimed at improving the availability of ergonomic equipment complemented with individualized advice and training in using them might be the required next steps to increase the use of ergonomic measures.

The South Korean construction industry has shown a high proportion of industrial accidents (approximately 28% of whole injuries) and the continuously increasing accident rate. Although many safety research emphasized that the 3E (Enforcement, Education, and Engineering) approach is a potential solution to enhance workplace safety, there should be benefits to consider psychological (i.e., Emotional) effects on the safety performance since most construction works are human-oriented. Thus, understanding construction workers' psychological conditions can be a priority. This research studied the relationships between psychological conditions-which cover stress, personal temperament, emotional disturbance, and drinking habit-and specific safety-related factors including safety motivation and knowledge, and safety performance of individual workers at a construction site. This study conducted a survey of 430 respondents and analyzed the data with the multiple linear regressions. The results imply persistence, trait anxiety, and problem-focused coping style are the critical factors that should be controlled for enhancing jobsite safety. Finally, the research outcomes could be applied to build a strategic safety management plan for a construction manager.
