Abstract

The newly updated Rail Safety Act is required to build a comprehensive railway safety management system with corresponding accreditation regulations for the purpose of safe railway operations. However, such efforts would not be enough to achieve a successful safety-performance solely without being in place of an appropriate level of safety cultures in an organization. No research was taken place to propose a safety culture maturity model and its estimate procedures in Korean railway industries. The research reviews a variety of safety maturity models applied in many other industries and the process of conducting surveys in order to propose a framework of railway safety maturity estimates, with a set of railway safety elements. This research is expected to contribute in diagnosing weak areas and finding their appropriate treatment, along with in placing the railway safety certificate program from 2014.

안전한 철도운영환경을 조성하기 위해 개정된 철도안전법은 사고예방 및 사전적 철도안전관리를 위해 철도종합안전관리체계 구축 및 안전승인 심사 제도를 필요로 하고 있다. 그러나 아무리 좋은 제도와 시스템이 있어도 조직 내에 적절한 수준의 안전문화가 정착되지 않고서는 그러한 제도와 안전관리체계가 성공적으로 자리 잡기 어렵다. 국내 철도분야의 안전문화성숙을 측정할 수 있는 모델과 방법론이 부재한 상황에서 본 연구는 안전문화 성숙을 평가할 수 있는 모델과 그 절차를 검토하고 국내 철도운영환경에 적합한 안전요소 위계 설정과 적절한 설문구성 방법 및 통계적 절차를 제시 하였다. 향후 이러한 절차를 활용한 철도안전문화 성숙 평가 결과는 2014년부터 시행될 철도안전운영 사전승인제도와 결합하여 취약한 안전문화 분야와 그에 적절한 처방을 찾는데 기여할 것이다.
