Abstract

To mitigate industrial accidents, various societal sectors, including the government, have been actively implementing measures. These include revising laws to bolster industrial safety and enhancing related standards. Despite these policy efforts, the rate of industrial accidents has not significantly decreased. A primary reason for the persistence of safety incidents in the construction industry is the selection of contractors with inadequate safety and health standards during the bidding process.
 This study explores legal improvements enabling local governments and public companies to prioritize bidders with proven safety capabilities. It examines the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Local Contract Act, and safety assessment systems in other countries to fulfill this objective.
 Our research indicates the necessity of implementing a safety competency evaluation prior to finalizing the successful bidder. Additionally, it highlights the need for enhancements in the contract-related system to support this initiative.
