“…Similarly, Miller's [5] studies which assess the educational safety training solutions for Latino construction workers found out that an overwhelming majority 78% of the participants were younger than 40 years. However, the current study finding contrasts with that from the studies conducted on South Africa's construction industries [33] and South Korea [34] in which the majority of participants were found aged above 40 years.…”

Construction industry remains the dangerous industry in the world, due to the nature of work and the working environment which exposes workers to different types of hazards and occupational accidents. Construction workers are also at risk of developing occupational related health conditions due to the exposure to occupational hazards. A cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive study was conducted to collect the data regarding occupational health and safety status in the construction industry. Data was collected with questionnaires developed based on the literatures and the World Health Organization Healthy workplace model. The study found out that the provision of occupational health and safety in the Windhoek construction industry is in poor status. Furthermore, construction work is mainly for male, young workers aged between 18 to 29 years. The mean age is 31.48 years. The study results also indicated that occupational hazards are prevalent in the construction industry. Nevertheless, most participants indicated that occupational accidents are not common in the construction sites. The study recommended the development of practical guidelines to improve the occupational health and safety status in the construction industry. The recommended guidelines should be implemented in all construction sites.

“…The enterprise needs to carry on the essential change to the safe production education mode, specifically: ① In the education philosophy, learning from DuPont safety education mode, "safety first" shall be taken as the enterprise culture, and upstream and upstream safety education concept shall be established (Autenrieth et al, 2016). ② In the education institution, learning from HSE management system, three factors "health, safety and environment" shall be included in the whole process of safety production management to emphasize the scientific education mode focusing on prevention first, leadership commitment, full participation and continuous improvement, so as to embody a complete and integrated management institution (Yoon et al, 2013;Kramer et al, 2017). ③ In the education method, learning from the method of combining system education and Deming circulation in OHSMS management system to make the education methods scientific, standardized and systematic with the self-improvement and self-discipline ability (Kim et al, 2016;Zwetsloot et al, 2011).…”

The penalty type education mode for safety production is lack of systematic and comprehensive education thought, education system and education measures, which leads to frequent safety accidents. To promote the safety education level of China's coal mining enterprises, in this study, the government, coal mine enterprises and employees are included in the evolutionary game model to explore the game relation and evolutionary path of the decision-making behavior among the three stakeholders in the safety management and education. It is proved by decision-making dynamic replication analysis, strategy evolution stability analysis and numerical simulated experiment verification that: the decision-making behavior of the government, coal mine enterprises and employees is the result of the mutual game playing among the three stakeholders. It is impossible for the government to leave alone the enterprises adopting the penalty type education mode for safety production. The incentive type education mode for safety production takes active education thought, education system, education measures and so on. It has become an effective driving factor to promote safety education level and motivate employees' safety initiative. When certain conditions are met, the decision-making behavior of three stakeholders of the government, coal mine enterprises and employees can evolve into an ideal state. The evolution process of decision-making behavior of three stakeholders to the ideal state is influenced by many factors. The range of different factors has a differential effect on the convergence rate of the three stakeholders to the ideal state.

“…Tables 4 and 5 indicate that occupational injuries for the companies with <5 workers (mean; IRs = 3.172/100 workers, MRs = 61.238/100,000 workers) are more likely to occupational and fatal injuries. Generally, in most countries, because the large-sized construction companies invest more in safety management than small construction enterprises do, small-sized construction companies suffer more accidents than large-sized construction companies do [15,29,30]. In addition, workers for small construction companies tend to use old equipment and devices that lack safety measures or ways to prevent injury.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of construction accidents occurred from 2011 to 2015 in Korea. The annual reports from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Korea (MOEL), and the annual reports from the Statistics Korea were used for the analysis in this study. The gender, age, company size and accident types were chosen as a category to analyze the trend of various occupational accidents. In order to analyze the characteristics of construction accidents, incidence rates (IRs) and mortality rates (MRs) were calculated. Further, T-tests and ANOVA analysis were performed to discover the relationships among IRs, MRs, and chosen categories. Male workers' IRs and MRs were significantly higher than those of female workers. Construction workers over 40 years of age suffered the most from occupational injuries. In terms of company size, as company size increases, both IRs and MRs tended to decrease. Occupational injuries caused by falls were higher than other accident types each year. This paper will be able to provide information on occupational accidents for establishing strategies to reduce the accident rate in construction sectors of Korea.
