The concept of workers' participation in occupational health was introduced to Korea recently in relation to primary health care in occupational health. But there is confusion and debate about workers' participation concept. The purpose of this study was to review the concepts of workers' participation and to conduct evaluation the workers' participation status in occupational health and safety, 394 workers and 54 employers (5.6%) in north area of Kyunggi-Do, were selected and interviewed with a questionnaire by a trained interviewer from August to September 1990. In general, the concept of workers' participation is based on industrial domocratisation and Declaration of Human Rights which had been powerful ideologies in labor movement. Contrary to workers' participation, community participation is rooted in the Health Rights. So, it is necessary to consider concept of workers' participation to improve participation. The results of survey were as follows. 1. Most of companies (71.75) carried out occupational health education to workers in study area. 2. The Occupational Safety and Health Committee (OSHC) were set up in 24.1% among the study companies, and 72.7% of workers among respondents thought that OSHC was helpful to workers health. 3. The workers signed his name to personal health report in 43.1% and the rate of participation in occupational environment examination was 54.9%. 4. The workers prefer the OSHC (39.3%), owner (35.1%) and union (25.8%) as a occupation health organisation, but owners prefer OSHC (54.5%), manager (43.2%) and union (2.3%). 5. Among the factors of the general characteristics, the existence of labor union was a major determinant of workers' attitude and level of workers' participation. As we have seen, most levels of workers' participation are low in occupational health. The variable of existence of labor union among the factors was a ma determinant of workers attitude and level of workers' participation. Therefore, in order to promote workers health, it is necessary to ponder long deeply on occupational health care system under the viewpoint of workers' participation.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to develop the qualification system for training of Quality improvement professionals who work for improving patients' safety and healthcare quality. Methods : Based on the various laws and regulations, and the operational status of other professionals' qualification systems, a basic plan of professional qualification system of QI was drawn. And through meetings with QI experts, the final scheme of the concrete qualification system was developed. Results : For management of professionals's certification or qualification, fairness and reliability are important. To do this, setting the official standard, providing a standardized training program and having appropriate qualification test are required. In order to operate the qualification system strategically, 1) the introduction step, 2) dissemination and expansion step, and 3) fusing step should be considered. As a governing body for QI specialists' qualification, 'QI professionals' qualification Center (tentative)' must have the committee to assure fairness, professionalism, and reliability. In addition, 'QI Experts Certification Department (tentative)" to develop standards for the qualification tests and conduct the tests program,' QI experts Education Department (tentative name)" must be able to operate and maintain the QI training for professional qualifications. QI professional qualification exam must be taken by everyone regardless of age, gender, race, occupation, education, and work experience. The examination should include management, leadership, strategic planning and design, quality management, health care information, patient safety culture. Practical training courses can have three step programs; beginning, intermediate and special level.

본 연구에서는 건설현장의 안전관리 관련 선행연구 고찰을 통해, 현행 건설현장의 안전관리체계를 구성하고 있는 기본 구성 요소를 파악하고 이러한 선행연구들이 제시한 주요항목을 건설현장 안전관리활동에 반영하는 것이다. 선행연구의 분석을 통해 1)본사는 안전보건경영체제 중심으로, 건설현장은 근로자를 배려하는 활동 위주의 체계가 중요함 2)성공적으로 안전관리 활동을 추진한 건설현장에 대한 실제 안전관리활동 주요요인들을 건설현장 안전관리활동의 실천방안으로 일반화 시키지 못하는 한계점이 있었다. 이러한 한계점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 기존 선행연구에서 주장하고 있는 건설현장의 성공요인 분석과 국내의 27개 안전관리활동 우수사례 현장에 대한사례조사를 통해 건설현장의 안전관리활동 주요요인(위험성 관리방법, 산업안전보건위원회 운영, 안전교육의 실시, 안전점검, 작업장 환경개선, 안전활동)을 도출하였고, 도출된 6가지 주요요인에 대한 실천방안을 제시하였다.
