Purpose: This study identifies cognitive biases and blind spots in internal safety inspections of mid-sized construction companies to improve autonomous safety management systems. Method: Using 2-year ('2023–2024) empirical data from a mid-sized construction company (Company A)—comprising 2,119 internal inspection findings and 80 actual accident cases—frequency analysis, cross-tabulation, Gap Index (Gi), and Disparity Ratio (Ri) were derived, followed by a Chi-square goodness-of-fit test. Result: The Chi-square test revealed a statistically significant discrepancy between inspection findings and actual accident distributions(X2=176.302, p<.001). While inspections were heavily concentrated on ‘falls’(35.7%), actual accidents were predominantly ‘slips/trips’(35.0%) and ‘collisions/jamming’(27.5%), proving that dynamic work environments remain critical management blind spots. Conclusion: Departing from static, temporary structure-centered inspections driven by visual accessibility, it is essential to redesign dynamic checklists linked to risk assessments, activate TBMs (Tool Box Meetings), and reallocate safety resources based on actual accident risks.
연구목적: 국내 중견 건설업체의 자체 안전점검 지적 내용과 실제 재해발생 간의 연관성 및 격차를 분석하여, 점검의 인지적 편향과 관리 사각지대를 규명하고 자율 안전보건관리체계 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구방법: A 중견 건설사의 2개년(2023~2024년) 자체 점검 데이터(2,119건)와 실제 재해 데이터(80건)를 대상으로 빈도분석, 교차분석, 격차 지수(Gi), 불일치 비율(Ri)을 도출하고 카이제곱 적합도 검정을 실시하였다. 연구결과: 카이제곱 검정통계량(X2=176.302, p<.001), 점검 지적 분포는 통계적으로 유의미한 불일치를 보였다. 점검은 ‘추락’(35.7%)에 편중된 반면, 실제 재해는 ‘전도’(35.0%)와 ‘충돌/협착’(27.5%)이 과반을 차지하여 동적 작업 환경이 사각지대에 놓여 있음을 입증했다. 결론: 시각적 용이성에 의존한 정적 가설물 중심 점검에서 벗어나, 위험성 평가 연동형 동적 점검표 재설계, TBM 활성화, 재해 위험도 기반의 안전 자원 재배치가 필요하다.
