Study on Spending for Safety Management Cost in Korean Construction Sites

Article Preview

Abstract:

While safety in the construction industry has been acknowledged as an important issue, there has yet to be a decrease in the number of disasters. For this reason, to manage and control construction disasters, a study should be conducted on the distribution and use of money allocated to safety management at construction sites. Thus, through an analysis of the current state of safety management cost, a distribution plan was sought, by accident type. In this study, the current state of accidents and safety management cost of four construction sites were analyzed. In the findings of this study, it was found that crash accidents, which have been reported as the accident type most frequently occurring, can be cut by increasing the safety facility cost for the prevention of crashes by more than 50 percent
