산업안전보건교육의 대상별 전략과 그 시사점 - 미국과 비교법적 검토를 중심으로 -

The occupational safety and health education in Korea is for general employees, business owners, and labor inspectors, but it is not systematic and is conducted sporadically. In particular, the criticism that the legal basis for occupational safety and health education for teenagers is not clear and the institution in charge and programs are not systematic has been raised. Recently, the Korean Employment and Labor Education Institute announced that it will provide the general labor human rights education for middle and high school students and adolescents nationwide under Article 3 of the Korea Employment and Labor Education Act, but the need for occupational safety and health education is raised. As the deaths from industrial accidents continue to occur today, the occupational safety and health education has become a more important task to prevent industrial accidents and create a healthy and safe working environment. In particular, teenagers need to have basic knowledge, skills, and abilities for the safety and health of the workplace and productive efficiency before starting or doing work for the first time. Unlike Korea, the United States separates the subjects of occupational safety and health education, regulates the legal basis differently for each subject, and differentiates the institutions in charge, educational content, and educational level. Therefore, this paper would like to find out the implications that can be derived from the legal and policy system of occupational safety and health education in the United States. First, the public sector on the occupational safety education is providing the education to employees and others as an exemplary employer role and strengthening the education. Second, the United States is establishing the consistency of the legal system on occupational safety and health education. It can be seen that the consistency of the legal system is established by preparing the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Code of Federal Regulations, and the Training Guidelines related to Occupational safety and health education. Third, the United States provides the education by separating the laws and targets that are the basis for occupational safety and health education. Fourth, the United States has formed and operated a consortium related to occupational safety and health education. Based on these implications, this paper shall establish or designate an institution in charge based on the Framework Act on Youth to secure expertise for each education level, describe in detail the necessary education and training and standards for each industry, and change the education system so that related subjects can be completed at a workplace or a training center.
