Purpose and Method: The purpose of this study is to understand the current status of safety management following the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. In-depth interviews were conducted with the general managers of critical disaster work at a total of 4,555 facilities managed by 11 city-affiliated organizations under the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Through this, work-related matters are analyzed and structural causes of accidents and disasters are derived. And we would like to take improvement directions and countermeasures. Result: There is a limit to the recognition and prevention of serious accidents punishment, and improvement is needed in work overload and avoidance, communication, information management and utilization. Conclusion: As the burden of work is high, it is necessary to prohibit other tasks and concurrent positions, hire safety management experts, grant authority in line with the work, require an incentive system for safety work, and develop educational materials suitable for the ability to perform safety work.
