| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to analyze the current level of safety management at small and medium-sized construction companies and
propose improvement measures to prevent safety accidents at these types of companies. The analysis results indicated that small and
medium-sized construction companies found that the lower the construction capability ranking, the less the composition of safety-only
organizations was at headquarters, and the safety management performance system seemed to be closely related to the presence or absence of
safety-only organizations. The overall safety management level at these types of companies was found to be insufficient, and the headquarters
was found to be even more insufficient than that of the site. Small and medium-sized construction companies in Korea showed that the
higher the construction capability ranking, the higher the safety management level was while groups one, two, and three of these types of
companies showed a somewhat insufficient safety management level, and groups four and five were relatively insufficient. In this study, the
opinions of safety-related practitioners in each group were collected and ways to improve the safety management level at small and
medium-sized construction companies in Korea was presented. Since this study had limitations in suggesting a plan to improve the level of
safety management at headquarters and at the site, a more detailed methodology is needed. In addition, considering this study targeted small
and medium-sized construction companies, further research is needed to improve the safety management level of large and medium-sized
construction companies. |
