중대재해 처벌등에 관한 법률상 안전사고의 현황과 대응방안 -건설 산업을 중심으로-

In this thesis, the domestic and foreign legislative background and legislative process of the Serious Accident Punishment Act were reviewed, and the Serious Accident Punishment Act in Korea was reviewed. In 2022, more safety accidents occurred in the construction industry than in other fields, and in particular, the most deaths occurred in the ‘fall’ type. In April 2023, regarding two criminal first-instance trial cases, the courts all sentenced guilty, and in one case, the representative of the company(CEO) was sentenced to imprisonment and was arrested. In response, the management side expresses the opinion that the punishment is excessive and there is a concern that corporate management will shrink, while the workers side(Union) argues that the responsibility of the business operator or manager should be strengthened by heavier punishment. As a countermeasure to overcome rationally, we present a plan in terms of legislation and management process. In other words, we present a review of the amendment to the Serious Accident Punishment Act and the Court Organization Act. In addition, a safety and health system must be established and implemented, and if an accident occurs, it must be dealt with reasonably. As a result, safety accidents in the construction industry should drastically decrease and safety culture should be properly established.
