‘Prevention of safety accidents at construction sites’… Review the work plan before work

The role of construction supervisors will be greatly strengthened to prevent safety accidents at construction sites.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 27th that it announced some amendments to the detailed standards for construction supervision. In this revised bill, under the principle of’work after preliminary review’, the construction supervisor reviews and confirms the work plan beforehand, and conducts work, prohibits simultaneous work in processes with high fire risk, and non-residents for small-scale construction. It contains content that substantiates the supervision.

According to the revised bill, the construction supervisor must review and confirm in advance a work plan containing work details and safety measures when working on a dangerous process with a high risk of accidents such as a fall or fire at a construction site. The procedure has already been implemented in public corporations since April of last year, but in the future, it will be extended to private corporations to prevent damage to people and property.

Simultaneous work in processes with high fire risk is also prohibited. However, exceptions are allowed only when the construction supervisor confirms that there is no oil vapor due to sufficient ventilation or installation of machinery for the discharge of oil vapor, and there is no obstacle to safety.

In the case of the supervision of a small-scale construction with a total floor area of ​​less than 2,000㎡, there was a limit to securing quality and safety for processes such as excavation by visiting and checking only some processes as non-resident supervision. This was specifically specified in the detailed standards (at least 3 times → 9 times) to ensure quality and safety for major processes. .

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that it is expected to be of great help in preventing safety accidents at the construction site by applying the strict standards of supervision work centered on the site. In addition, he added that it plans to continuously improve the system, such as significantly expanding the current residential supervision target buildings, and pursuing the revision of the Building Act Enforcement Decree, which includes the obligatory assignment of supervisors in charge of safety management other than construction supervision.
