Abstract
Purpose: The Ministry of Employment and Labor has been working hard to ensure the safety of workers due to heavy rain during natural disasters as the responsible ministry in charge of preventing industrial accidents and health problems for workers. Accordingly, the Ministry of Employment and Labor intends to analyze actual cases of responding to heavy rain disasters and suggest ways to improve the response system. Method: An emergency response system implemented to respond to heavy rain disasters with an internal expert group composed of those in charge of disaster work at headquarters, local government offices, and Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, and an external expert group composed of professors, consulting representatives, and disaster managers from other ministries. Contents on self-inspection by industry, workplace inspection, use of serious siren, safety management and restoration work guidance were reviewed. Result: First of all, it is necessary to check the regular contact system from time to time, and it is also necessary to prepare and distribute detailed self-checklists for each industry. In addition, it is necessary to check the implementation of self-inspection when inspecting workplaces, and it seems necessary to have measures to increase the readability of information notified through serious disaster sirens. In addition, since safety work is done in the form of a contract, it seems necessary to prepare specific safety guidelines. Conclusion: In order to protect the lives of workers due to seasonal harm and risk factors, unlike the passive coping methods of the past, abnormal weather should not be regarded as an unexpected situation, and it should be actively and preemptively responding beyond the conventional framework.

연구목적: 고용노동부는 근로자의 산업재해 및 건강장해 예방을 위한 업무를 수행하는 주무부처로서 그간 자연재난 중 폭우로 인한 근로자의 안전을 위해 노력을 해 왔으나, 폭우로 인한 사업장 재난을 막기에는 역부족이였다. 이에 따라, 고용노동부에서 폭우재난을 대응했던 실제 사례를 분석하고 대응체계 개선을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구방법: 본부·지방관서·한국산업안전보건공단에서 재난업무를 수행하는 담당자로 구성된 내부 전문가집단과 교수, 컨설팅 대표, 타부처 재난담당자로 구성된 외부 전문가집단과 함께 폭우재난을 대응하기 위해 실시한 비상대응체계, 업종별 자율점검, 사업장 점검, 중대사이렌 활용, 안전관리 및 복구작업 지도 등에 관한 내용을 검토하였다. 연구결과: 우선, 상시 연락체계는 수시로 점검이 필요하며, 세부적인 업종별 자율점검표 마련·배포도 필요하다. 또한, 사업장 점검 시 자율점검 이행여부 확인을 해야 하며, 중대재해 사이렌으로 통해 알리는 정보의 가독성을 높일 방안도 필요 해 보인다. 아울러, 안전작업은 도급형태로 이뤄지기 때문에 구체적인 안전지침 마련도 필요해 보인다. 결론: 계절적 유해·위험요인으로 인한 근로자의 생명을 보호하기 위해서는 과거처럼 수동적인 대처방법과 달리 이상기후는 돌발상황으로 여겨서는 안되고, 관행적인 틀에서 벗어나 적극적이고 선제적으로 대응해야 할 것이다.
