The construction industry is still the most risky industry and labor accident is a significant management factor on construction site. Safety management has been studied for improving the safety performance on construction sites. However, Almost all of them have been considered on the site safety management for the contractors and evaluation of accident rate. To resolve the limitation of current research, this study is focused on considering accident result and effort by performing the evaluation of safety level of the head office and site in construction companies. By studying the research about a safety management and interviewing with specialists in safety management, 7 items were selected and weighted based on the KOSHA18001 List. Consequently, The checklist was developed to evaluate safety performance management in construction company and Safety Management Index was suggested to coordinate 1) the score of results in accident rate and 2) the effort to evaluate a safety performance management. Safety Management Index is more helpful to evaluate the safety management results and effort. As a result of considering the score of the accident rate and the safety performance management, the outcome of prequalification was changed. Using this index, contractors will attempt to prevent accidents and owners will be able to discriminate individual differences in bidding process.

We have been suffered from a large-scaled accidents in construction fields so far, despite a fact that more effort has been made for accident decrease. But the most important factor not to prevent those from the site is that past management technique has not been based on its related site, up to now. Three projects have been selected for comparing the previous condition with the one which this proposed technique has been applicated for. Also, individual interview with 113 workers has been done simultaneously.

Though the Honorary Industrial Safety Supervisor System was activated from 1995, the system did not show the better effectiveness due to the unconcern of top management and the insufficient support of government etc. The purpose of this study is to analyze the problems of the system and to present the improvement direction of that system. The research result points out that we have to consider the following countermeasures; First, the government should make up the support system by a law dealing with proper compensation and professional education for the supervisor, and tax reduction for companies. Second, the companies should make an effort firming up the safety consciousness of top management, and strengthening the employees' concern about safety through continuous safety education and campaign by a labor union, and promoting the supervisor's pride through recognition from top management and other employees.

In the construction industry, most safety related researches have been focused on the safety matters in construction job site while the safety issues regarding facility management have been received limited attention. Hence, this research aimed to uncover the problems of current safety management practices then suggest improvement plans. Through the questionnaire suey and analysis, following conclusions were drawn. Regarding the safety mindset, participation rate in safety prevention activities is average at most. Therefore, the extra attention and effort by property owners and managers are required. Examination of accidents indicated that 88% of them were stemmed from unsafe activities, 10% from unstable mentality and 2% from unavoidable natural disasters. Therefore, 90% of these accidents could be prevented by eliminating unsafe activities. In addition to the above findings, several other facts and suggestions are detailed.

Prevention of the disasters is the best welfare to workers and it brings the growth and stability of an enterprise, finally uplifts the national competitiveness. Because small-scale businesses do not have safety and health managers, the government provides a wide range of safety and health management supports to small-scale businesses. However despite of this government's effort, the industrial accident rate of small-scale businesses does not decline, which is mainly because the projects are not differentiated according to the risk level of individual business. Therefore, this paper aims to obtain implications concerning a plan to conduct a reliable assessment of education through a safety job assessment, and to build a framework which may improve a technical area through the AHP analysis.
