건설업 기초안전보건교육이 안전의식 향상에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The construction industry has many characteristics compared to other industries. One of them is the safety of workers at construction sites. The construction industry is a serious shortage of manpower because it is an industry that young workers do not prefer. In addition, as the number of foreigners and the elderly increases, accidents at construction sites are becoming more frequent and serious. Safety culture can be defined as a state in which systematic, continuous, and self-sustaining safety management is performed by each subject, such as a business owner, management supervisor, and safety manager. Therefore, in this study, the following conclusions were drawn by studying the method of a survey to find out the changes in safety awareness before and after basic safety and health education in the construction industry for construction workers. First, basic safety and health education in the construction industry was found to have an effect on the improvement of safety awareness, including the understanding and attitude of safety awareness of construction workers. In particular, it was found to have a positive effect in areas related to recognition of safety regulations, understanding of colleagues' work, understanding of measures in the event of equipment abnormalities, recognition and wearing of protective equipment. In addition, it was found that they had a high level of safety awareness even before education in areas such as the importance of matters related to compliance with or violation of safety rules and attention and efforts. Second, the effect of basic safety and health education in the construction industry for construction workers, that is, safety awareness, differed according to the demographic characteristics of workers. The lower the age group, the higher the effect of education. In addition, the less work experience, the higher the educational effect. Through this, it will contribute to the prevention of industrial accidents by enhancing the effectiveness of basic safety and health education in the construction industry by identifying and providing feedback on the factors that should be focused on in basic safety and health education in the construction industry. Therefore, in order to prevent practical industrial accidents through the establishment of a sustainable safety culture, research is needed to deal with the overall safety management method currently performed by basic safety and health education in the workplace.
