Fatal accidents in the construction industry account for a higher proportion than other industries, and in particular, the collapse accident of formwork is likely to lead to a serious accident like death. This study aim to derive the importance ranking of formwork collapse factors using AHP technique for preventing fatal accident. The AHP survey was conducted on field construction engineers, construction project managers, safety managers, and formwork specialist foreman with 10 years on site experience. The results of AHP analysis is that the most importance factor of formwork collapse accident is 'non-compliance with the formwork shoring assembly drawing'. Next it is important in the order of 'poor installation of formwork shoring and accessories', 'formwork shoring is not installed vertically', 'non-compliance with the concrete curing period of the formwork shoring', 'safety supervisor not designated and negligent'. It is necessary to preferentially and intensively manage the high importance factors presented as a result of this research for reducing formwork collapse accident. In addition, it will contribute to reducing construction safety accidents if the factors of the formwork collapse accident suggested in this research are included in the formwork inspection check list and checked step by step in formwork construction.

It is considered that most of reusable pipe supports, which are used as formwork support posting at construction sites, do not meet the performance standard. Due to the use of reusable pipe supports that do not meet such performance standard the potential risk of collapse accident is increasing. Therefore, this study identifies the status of compliance with performance standard, and presents the requirements for improving quality control to prevent the collapse of pipe supports reused at the construction site. First, if the female thread of the product with no clearance and new support pin with the diameter of 12mm are replaced at the same time for use, it is considered that the performance will be improved. Second, as the quality performance during use can be improved in the case of larger thickness of inner diameter compared to the case of larger thickness of outer diameter, it is necessary to increase the inner pipe thickness greatly than the current thickness. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that the performance the reusable pipe support (V4) can be improved, if the diameter of the support pin is 12mm, the female thread has a small clearance, and the inner tube thickness is 2.3 ~ 2.7mm. In addition, it is considered that other performance improvement factors included in the study results could be used as important data for improving the performance of reusable pipe support.

In terms of construction work, the construction cost is lower than the importance of the construction, and since it is demolished after the completion of the construction, it is treated as a relatively small proportion compared to other construction types. Construction engineers who actually worked on the site talk about the safety of the construction work as the most important work of the various processes to ensure the quality and safety of the construction work. However, it is also true that safety management is difficult for temporary construction because various types of temporary materials are installed at various sites at the same time as construction progresses, and the main construction is carried out using them. Safety accidents in construction work are not much different even if they are carried out in temporary construction. The importance and safety of construction work cannot be neglected in view of the recent trend of large-scale construction, multi-purpose, excavation of large-scale underground spaces, and construction trends that are changing to skyscrapers. The purpose of this research is to secure the safety of Dongbar among the temporary materials used in construction work by using IT convergence technology, and to propose safety management to prevent safety accidents in the construction work.
