Abstract

Government needs a risk assessment method that is effective in preventing accidents as a part of the three principal projects of the government for protecting the people's lives for establishing preventative measures to prevent accidents in the construction sites, which accounted for more than half of all accidental mortality accidents, and promote the safety-oriented culture for making fundamental changes. Accidents at the medium and small sized construction sites accounted for 88.9% of the total construction accidents. The data indicates that improper management and lack of advanced safety measures due to the absence of a safety supervisor are the biggest problems. It is believed that active measures to evaluate and prevent risks at construction sites are necessary for preventing accidents in the medium and small sized construction sites. The objectives of this study is to identify the key risk items of common accident causes and propose a practical, preemptive, and improved risk assessment method by evaluating the problems in the safety management of construction sites for reducing the accident rate in the medium and small sized construction sites.

정부의 국민생명 지키기 3대 프로젝트의 일환으로 전체 사고성 사망사고의 절반이상을 차지하는 건설현장에서의 재해예방을 위한 감소대책과 근본적인 변화를 위한 안전 중시 문화 확산을 위해 사전예방의 실효성 있는 위험성 평가 방안이 필요한 실정이다. 건설재해 중 중 소규모 현장의 재해는 전체 건설 재해의 88.9%를 차지하고 있으며 이는 안전관리감독자의 부재로 인한 관리소홀과 사전 안전조치 미흡이 가장 큰 문제점이라 볼 수 있다. 이에 대한 중 소규모 건설현장의 재해예방을 위해서는 현장의 위험성을 평가하고 예방할 수 있는 적극적인 방안이 무엇보다도 필요하다고 생각된다. 이와 같은 관점에서 본 연구는 건설재해의 발생빈도가 높은 중 소규모건설현장의 재해율 저감을 위해 건설현장 안전관리 문제점을 도출 분석하여 재해다발요인의 중점 위험항목과 선제적이고 실천 가능한 위험성 평가 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다.
