Background: The study was conducted to investigate the current status of the occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) in the construction industry and the effect of OHSMS on accident rates. Differences of awareness levels on safety issues among site general managers and occupational health and safety (OHS) managers are identified through surveys. Methods: The accident rates for the OHSMS-certified construction companies from 2006 to 2011, when the construction OHSMS became widely available, were analyzed to understand the effect of OHSMS on the work-related injury rates in the construction industry. The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency 18001 is the certification to these companies performing OHSMS in South Korea. The questionnaire was created to analyze the differences of OHSMS awareness between site general managers and OHS managers of construction companies. Results: The implementation of OHSMS among the top 100 construction companies in South Korea shows that the accident rate decreased by 67% and the fatal accident rate decreased by 10.3% during the period from 2006 to 2011. The survey in this study shows different OHSMS awareness levels between site general managers and OHS managers. The differences were motivation for developing OHSMS, external support needed for implementing OHSMS, problems and effectiveness of implementing OHSMS. Conclusion: Both work-related accident and fatal accident rates were found to be significantly reduced by implementing OHSMS in this study. The differences of OHSMS awareness between site general managers and OHS managers were identified through a survey. The effect of these differences on safety and other benefits warrants further research with proper data collection.

Nowadays, the existing manual method for recording actual progress of the construction site has some drawbacks, such as great reliance on the experience of professional engineers, work-intensive, time consuming and error prone. A method integrating computer vision and BIM(Building Information Modeling) is presented for indoor automatic progress monitoring. The developed method can accurately calculate the engineering quantity of target component in the time-lapse images. Firstly, sample images of on-site target are collected for training the classifier. After the construction images are identified by edge detection and classifier, a voting algorithm based on mathematical geometry and vector operation will divide the target contour. Then, according to the camera calibration principle, the image pixel coordinates are conversed into the real world Coordinate and the real coordinates would be corrected with the help of the geometric information in BIM model. Finally, the actual engineering quantity is calculated.

Among all industries, the construction industry still remains a traditional one with low productivity due to its labor-intensive and field-dependent production system, its supplier-oriented industrial structure, and the disruption of the information flow between participants. In addition, the construction industry in South Korea has recently been required to transform itself according to social trends such as aging, the reduction of skilled workers, and the shortening of working hours, and the disaster and death rates in the industry, which are more than twice as high as those in other industries, are making it more necessary to solve chronic safety problems. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to grasp the actual condition of safety management on construction sites in South Korea and analyze cases of K-smart technology utilization for preventing safety accidents on construction sites. The study investigated and analyzed the following. First, construction sites in South Korea were analyzed by type of safety accident, by type of construction, and by construction contract amount. Second, the current status of accidents on small-sized construction sites with a high fatal accident rate and cases of safety accidents on construction sites were investigated. The results of the study are expected to contribute to the dissemination and spread of smart safety technology for not only identifying major factors in safety accidents that occur on construction sites but also preventing workers from suffering accidents.

Particulate Matter(PM) is one of the most critical pollutant which can cause a fatal disease if the human body inhales. Construction is the business that emits the most fugitive dust. It is therefore necessary to manage construction site. South korea government focuses on the fugitive dust control measures defined in regulation being implemented properly. However the number of civil complaints related to fugitive dust emitted from construction site is the most in korea. So it is necessary to check from the management system aspect. This paper compares and analyzes the fugitive dust management system which applied to the construction site of major cities in three countries, and finds out what needs to be supplemented by the domestic management system.

OECD 국가를 대상으로 건설업의 노동생산성을 분석한 결과, 한국 건설업의 2019년 취업자당 노동생산성은 PPP 적용시 주요 선진국보다 낮은 수준이다. PPP 적용시 상대국을 100 기준으로 했을 때, 미국의 76.9, 일본의 88.4, OECD 평균의 85.1로 미흡한 수준이다. 특히 OECD 국가의 2019년도 건설업 취업자당 노동생산성을 분석한 결과, 한국은 25위 수준으로 OECD 35개 국가에서 차지하는 순위는 낮은 수준이다. OECD 국가의 건설시장규모와 건설업 노동생산성을 비교·분석한 결과, 건설시장규모가 큰 국가가 건설업 노동생산성이 높다고는 볼 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 건설업의 노동생산성을 향상 시키기 위해서 첫째, 스마트 건설기술을 건설현장에 접목하여 적극 활용하는 방안, 둘째, 건설현장 작업보다는 OSC 기술로 공장작업을 통한 현장 설치작업의 활성화 방안을 제안하였다. 마지막으로 모듈러 공법, 기술개발을 확대할 필요가 있다고 제안하였다. 향후에는 첨단 로봇과 공장자동화를 통한 탈현장 생산방식 및 모듈 개발을 확대하면, 건설산업도 제조업과 같은 생산방식의 개편으로 노동생산성이 높아질 것으로 기대된다.

Accident rate in domestic construction industry has been increased rapidly in every year. In particular, the rate of death has been shown very high compared with other industries. It means that safety activities performed by government is not effective in reducing the rate of accident. To solve these problems, the risk factors should be predicted in advance, controlled, monitored and managed from start of project to end of project. However, most studies have been conducted by using frequency of occurrence of accident and only listed the importance of risk. Therefore, the objective of this study is to provide basic material to develop risk quantifying model for human accidents on construction site in South Korea. In the future, it is expected to be used as a reference of study on developing safety mangement checklist in construction industry and model for forecasting accident.

Many studies regarding construction safety management have been conducted. However, it is insufficient to research on external construction site. As a result, ordinary people around the construction site have injured and have a negative view when they think construction industrial since it has regarded having an overfull industrial accidents on media. To break the stereotype and prevention of accident on construction industry have been emphasized at this point in time, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive safety management system which is considered not only internal safety management but also external safety management. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop the human accident risk quantification model by utilizing the third party payout data which occurred by incomplete safety management on external construction site. This study is conducted as a basic study for developing safety management manuals on internal·external construct site. In the future, it is expected to be used as a reference.
