Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the differences in safety perceptions between workers and managers, a key factor contributing to high accident rates in the construction industry, and reveals different perspectives between the two groups according to their work content, responsibility, and exposure to risk. Research design, data and methodology: Based on survey data collected from workers and managers, the difference in safety perception is analyzed based on key items such as recognition of the work environment as safe, margin for fair pressure, recognition of the Serious Accident Punishment Act, and recognition of safety education Results: It was confirmed that there were significant differences in the manager group, such as being highly aware of legal compliance and responsibility, while the worker group was more aware of the degree of awareness of safety education Conclusions: This study analyzes the causes of this gap and proposes the necessity of a cooperative approach such as system promotion and enhanced education at the government level to resolve it.
