Abstract Recently, the government has shown a decrease in disaster accidents throughout the industry and construction industry due to various efforts to reduce disasters. However, the fall accidents in the construction industry are not decreasing but increasing. In particular, the fall accident caused by scaffolding is low each year, but the disaster intensity is very high in that it directly leads to the death of workers. Scaffolding working environment in domestic construction industry is very poor. Moreover, scaffold workers in small construction sites are not subject to safety oversight and control. Therefore, this study is the installation and non-installation of the vertical lifeline, which is the most fundamental problem to be prevented during the study, to prevent the fall of the moon scaffold. In addition, it is hoped that it will be a solution for preventing accidents in construction site construction through the identification of various causes of disasters such as rope loosening, rope breaking, and fixed point failure.
