안전보건경영은 어디까지 와있는가? : 중대재해처벌법에 대한 인식을 중심으로

Abstract

This study introduced the concept of safety and health management(SHM) and presented the results of survey focusing on the construction industry prior to the enforcement of the Serious Accident Punishment Act(SAPA). The survey explored the ways to enhance corporate competitiveness through SHM. SHM refers to various activities such as establishing a safety and health management system and regularly conducting risk assessment to prevent industrial accidents at workplaces. With the results of the survey on the status of SHM, it can be seen that large companies are paying more attention and investing in SHM activities and communication than SMEs. In addition, large companies have more problem consciousness about the SAPA, and opinions on revision and supplementation were expressed. SHM, which has increased interest due to the enactment and enforcement of the SAPA, has difficulty in finding a direction due to conflicting opinions of stakeholders. It is necessary to set consistent goals along with individual efforts of each entity, such as companies, workers, governments, and themselves. Research on the field of safety and health management has been studied from an engineering point of view. However, it was confirmed that the main cause of the accident at the construction site was the lack of safety culture and safety consciousness, and to solve this problem, research on safety culture and safety leadership needs to be conducted at the same time.
