Abstract

Recently, although the government is strengthening laws about safety and regulations such as the enforcement of the Severe Accident Punishment Act, industrial accidents and safety-related accidents occur frequently, and LH incidents such as the absence of reinforcing bars during building construction are emerging. It tells us that the problem is still serious. There are many causes of industrial accidents, but the most fundamental reason is the unsafe behavior of workers. Therefore, to reduce industrial accidents, the first priority is to improve safety behaviors of workers. In this study, we suggest ways to promote workers safety behavior with the industrial safety and health research institute's industrial safety and health survey data and analyze the effect of workers participation and communication on safety behavior by industry. The results of this study are meaningful in that they have analyzed workers participation, occupational safety and health communication(OSH communication), and safety behavior together and presented measures to promote workers safety behavior considering the characteristics of each industry. In the future, each workplace needs to make efforts to promote worker safety behavior and create a safe working environment by establishing an occupational safety and health communication system suitable for workers participation and industrial characteristics.
