Abstract

In order to protect special types of workers, the government is requiring safety and health education for special types of workers by revising the Enforcement Decree of the Industrial Safety And Health Act. But the actual effect of education is insufficient due to the lack of educational infrastructure and the characteristics of the occupation such as the diversity of labor provision for special types of workers and easy job change. This study is a basic study on measures to revitalize safety and health education to protect special types of workers, and improvements were derived based on a fact-finding survey. A survey was conducted on the status and awareness of safety and health education completion for 300 workers in each occupations and problems with the current system and areas for improvement were identified through frequency analysis. The survey results were subjected to frequency analysis to identify problems and areas for improvement in the current system. As a result of the survey, excessive completion of overlapping training and limited supply of training were identified as factors that reduce the effectiveness of safety and health education according to the occupational characteristics of special types of workers. Accordingly, as a way to improve the problem of overlapping completions a cross-recognition plan for training completion with other laws and a training completion certification system were proposed. In addition, as a way to improve the problems caused by the limited supply of education, a plan to diversify education and improve quality by easing some of the registration requirements for private educational institutions was presented. As the results of this study focus on the opinions of workers, it is judged that additional verification of the effectiveness of educational measures should be conducted. If the results are supplemented through future system analysis and improvement research centered on safety and health education experts, it is believed that it will be possible to contribute to the protection of special types of workers through a more specific and effective safety and health education system.
