Improvement of Disaster Prevention Technology Guidance

Abstract

In recent times, the strengthening of government safety regulations, such as the implementation of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, has not succeeded in reducing industrial accidents at small and medium-sized worksites, specifically in the construction sector. The comprehensive amendment of the 2020 Industrial Safety and Health Act brought about considerable changes after 30 years, thereby impacting the safety measures of construction sites. Although the implementation of construction accident prevention technology guidance is mandated, it has not been effectively and practically applied. This study used the analytic hierarchy process analysis, considering quantitative and qualitative aspects, to recommend important factors for enhancing the construction accident prevention technology guidance system. It aims to improve safety management at small and medium-sized construction sites by emphasizing institutional, economic, company-specific, and facility-related factors. The findings of this study can help evolve strategies to improve the construction disaster prevention technology guidance system by providing essential insights and effective requirements that need to be prioritized.
