Abstract

In order to provide basic data for the design of working clothes that might optimize construction workers’ safety, health, and efficiency, multilateral analysis of working clothes on the market was conducted. Total number of 217 items were identified for the clothing of construction workers, including vests, jumpers, overalls, and pants, by searching domestic shopping web sites. And 38 workers in the construction industry who received the work clothes from the company were surveyed about the actual condition of the work clothes and the design improvement. The most commonly used materials for working clothes in the market were polyester for vests, T/R for jumpers, and T/C for both overalls and pants. For vests and pants, the design characteristics were found to be identical. Jumpers usually had convertible collars and flapped patch breast pockets. The overalls had stand collars. The sizing systems of products turned out to be similar to those of ready-made clothes, but there was a greater variety in the size grades. The prices of products ranged mainly from 10,000KRW to 30,000KRW. And only vests and jumper were provided, and the frequency of wear was different according to the season. Based on these findings, in order to improve design, one might consider introducing various functional materials, allowing extra space, the trendy design that the company belongs to, dimension adjustable hemming, zipper pocket, a good compromise between suits and casual clothes, providing additional pants, detachable protection pads for safety, developing innerwear work clothes to increase comfort, and developing an integrative sizing system.
