Abstract

Purpose: The construction industry is a complex mechanism in which multiple processes are carried out at the same time, and the frequency and severity of accidents account for a higher proportion than other industries, and the accident fatality rate also accounts for more than 50% of all industries. In order to reduce such accidents, the government's disaster investigation method analyzes the limitations from the system safety point of view and proposes improvement plans. Method: The main contents of the government's serious accident investigation were identified, and the effectiveness/adequacy was analyzed from the system safety point of view. Result: Disaster investigation and analysis techniques tailored to violations and compliance were limited in providing fundamental solutions, and alternatives for accident prevention were possible for each component of the system when safety constraints, controls, and hierarchical interactions were combined. Conclusion: When combining the disaster investigation and analysis method from the current accident analysis method from the perspective of system safety, it is possible to identify the problems of interaction by class and communication process, so it is possible to suggest alternatives to prevent accidents from an integrated perspective.

연구목적: 건설업은 복합공정이 동시에 진행되는 복잡한 메커니즘으로 사고 발생 빈도 와 강도가 다른 산업보다 높은 비중을 차지하고 있으며, 사고 사망만인율 또한 전 산업의 50% 이상 차지하고 있다. 이런 사고 감소를 위해 정부의 재해조사 방법에 대해 시스템 안전 관점에서 한계를 분석하여 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구방법: 정부의 중대 재해조사에 대한 주요 내용을 파악하고, 시스템 안전 관점에서 효과성/타당성을 분석하였다. 연구결과: 법규 위반 및 준수에 맞춰진 재해조사 및 분석기법은 근원적인 해결방안을 제시하기에 한계가 있었으며, 안전 제약, 제어, 계층별 상호작용을 접목할 때 시스템 전체의 구성 요소별로 사고 예방을 위한 대안 제시가 가능했다. 결론: 현재의 사고분석 방법에서 시스템 안전 관점의 재해조사 및 분석 방법을 접목할 때 계층별 상호작용의 문제점과 의사소통 과정의 문제점을 확인할 수 있어 통합적 관점에서 사고 예방을 위한 대안 제시가 가능하다.
