An Analysis of the Safety Education for Foreign Laborer in Construction Site

Abstract:

In recent years, the number of foreign workers employed on construction sites in Korea has been on the rise, and industrial accidents involving foreign workers have become a social issue. Yet despite this fact, the interest in safety education for foreign workers has still been relatively low. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to analyze the current state of safety education for foreign construction workers. To conduct an analysis of the current status, we surveyed foreign construction workers currently working at construction sites. Based on the results of this survey, we have derived an outline for an improvement plan founded on an awareness of and problems in safety education for foreign workers.
