An Analysis to the Understanding of Safety Equipment for Construction Workers

Abstract:

According to the industrial accident statistics reported by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, about 10 percent of accidental work site deaths were caused by defect or misuse of safety equipment [1]. For this reason, safety equipment should be understood properly to prepare a plan for its appropriate use [2]. Therefore, this study aims to identify the related problems by studying the understanding of safety equipment for construction works at sites. To conduct this study, a questionnaire survey of 100 construction workers in apartment building construction sites in Jeolla-do was carried out. This study reveals that the education on safety equipment is of help for construction workers, but they do not have a deep understanding of it in actual use.
