수도권 광역자치단체 산업재해 예방 조례 비교 및 정책 제언

Abstract

Some amendments to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (local government responsibility, enforcement of 2021.11.19) have made it possible to establish ordinances, plans, education, public relations, and guidance on workplaces under the law. As of June 2021 out of 17 metropolitan and provincial local governments, thirteen ordinances related to the prevention of occupational accidents are enacted and implemented, and roles and responsibilities related to the prevention of industrial accidents are emphasized. The ordinances of Incheon, Seoul, and Gyeonggi were compared to identify the trends related to the prevention of occupational accidents in local governments and to use them as a review material for policy making in other cities and provinces. The scope of the ordinances of the three local governments was the largest in Incheon, with Seoul targeting the public sector and Gyeonggi targeting the private sector. In common, it has a basic system (planning, deliberation and advisory committee, cooperation system of related agencies, inspection and guidance of workplaces, establishment of support centers, etc.) and showed differences in project contents according to existing labor administration and ordinances. It is expected that local governments will play an active role in preventing occupational accidents through dedicated departments, manpower, and budget allocation, establishment of a support center based on the ordinance.
