The study was conducted to investigate the current status of the occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) in the construction industry and the effect of OHSMS on accident rates. Differences of awareness levels on safety issues among site general managers and occupational health and safety (OHS) managers are identified through surveys.
The accident rates for the OHSMS-certified construction companies from 2006 to 2011, when the construction OHSMS became widely available, were analyzed to understand the effect of OHSMS on the work-related injury rates in the construction industry. The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency 18001 is the certification to these companies performing OHSMS in South Korea. The questionnaire was created to analyze the differences of OHSMS awareness between site general managers and OHS managers of construction companies.
The implementation of OHSMS among the top 100 construction companies in South Korea shows that the accident rate decreased by 67% and the fatal accident rate decreased by 10.3% during the period from 2006 to 2011. The survey in this study shows different OHSMS awareness levels between site general managers and OHS managers. The differences were motivation for developing OHSMS, external support needed for implementing OHSMS, problems and effectiveness of implementing OHSMS.
Both work-related accident and fatal accident rates were found to be significantly reduced by implementing OHSMS in this study. The differences of OHSMS awareness between site general managers and OHS managers were identified through a survey. The effect of these differences on safety and other benefits warrants further research with proper data collection.
本研究旨在调查建筑行业职业健康安全管理体系（OHSMS）的现状，以及 OHSMS 对事故率的影响。通过调查，确定了现场总经理和职业健康安全（OHS）经理在安全问题上的认知水平差异。
分析了 2006 年至 2011 年 OHSMS 认证建筑公司的事故率，以了解 OHSMS 对建筑行业与工作相关的伤害率的影响。韩国职业安全健康管理局 18001 是对韩国实施 OHSMS 的公司的认证。创建了调查问卷来分析建筑公司现场总经理和 OHS 经理之间 OHSMS 意识的差异。
韩国前 100 名建筑公司实施 OHSMS 表明，2006 年至 2011 年期间，事故率下降了 67%，致命事故率下降了 10.3%。本研究中的调查显示，现场总经理和 OHS 经理之间的 OHSMS 意识水平存在差异。差异在于实施 OHSMS 的动机、实施 OHSMS 所需的外部支持、实施 OHSMS 存在的问题和有效性。
本研究表明，实施 OHSMS 可显著降低与工作相关的事故和致命事故率。通过调查确定了现场总经理和 OHS 经理之间 OHSMS 意识的差异。这些差异对安全和其他利益的影响值得进一步研究，需要进行适当的数据收集。
