Purpose:
Multi-family housing construction is the industry with the most safety
accidents. Construction work consists of a comprehensive construction
business and a specialized construction business. However, the overall system
for safety management has mainly focused on original contractors and
comprehensive construction industries. Therefore, it is necessary to find
ways to prevent safety accidents for subcontractors and professional
construction companies that directly employ the labor force. The purpose of
this study was to identify risk factors and prepare reduction measures to
prevent safety accidents. In particular, construction of housing facilities has
increased in importance by constructing air conditioning, cooling, heating, and
ventilation facilities for buildings, but it may be insufficient for safety
management compared to electricity and fire fighting construction that is
integrated and placed separately. Therefore, it focused on the construction of
housing facilities
Methods:
As a research method, field surveys and literature surveys were conducted.
The survey targets 292 stakeholders in charge of construction of housing
facilities in apartment construction projects nationwide. For the survey,
personal information, safety accidents, high-risk work management, and
smart safety equipment were surveyed. In addition, based on domestic
construction safety laws and systems and guidelines operated by actual
ordering organizations, safety management deficiencies and reduction
measures that may occur in construction of housing facilities were studied.
Results and Discussion :
The most common type of disaster in the entire construction industry and
construction of housing facilities is "falling" accidents, and it is considered
important to educate safety awareness and wear safety equipment to prevent
safety accidents. In addition, welding work and high-altitude work of less
than 2 meters should be additionally classified as high-risk work in the
Safety Work Permit. Most of the smart safety equipment had no application
cases, and the "closed space hazardous substance meter" would be the most
effective, and the "smart safety helmet" was the most necessary to
introduce. However, they responded that smart safety equipment should be
reflected in the contract details such as safety management costs due to low
utilization rates due to site design changes.
In addition, according to the contract structure of the subcontracting method,
quality deterioration and safety management problems arise due to low-cost
orders, and illegal subcontracting is prevalent in the industry for separate
orders. Therefore, strong management and supervision at the client and
government level is needed.
Construction of housing facilities should fulfill its safety management
obligations, such as the preparation of safety management registers that each
contractor must perform at each stage of design and construction, and it is
necessary to improve awareness to ensure independent safety management.
In order to derive risk factors that may occur in construction of housing
facilities, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and LH
specifications analyzed the main work contents by process and part, and
compared them with the risk factor profile of the Construction Safety
Management Integrated Information(CSI) to establish risk factors and
reduction measures.
Conclusion:
In order to solve the cause of safety accidents in construction of housing
facilities, it is necessary to solve various problems such as changes in
systems, application of smart safety equipment, changes in industrial
structure, and improvement of awareness of safety management. construction
of housing facilities needs to establish a separate safety management system
for construction of housing facilities itself, away from the existing safety
management that is dependent on construction and leaders, and consideration
and research on the prevention of safety accidents at construction sites
should be continued.
