Abstract
The purpose of this study is to introduce accident prevention remedies (APRs) and prioritize them according to accident-causing factors (ACFs), which were drawn from survey data analysis regarding the type and extent of dangers to which foreign workers in Korea are exposed at construction sites. First, 12 ACFs and 11 APRs were identified from a statistical analysis of questionnaires administered to 59 foreign industrial trainees working at construction sites in the Seoul-Kyunggi area. The APRs were then prioritized according to their relative importance as determined through the analytic hierarchy process and through a second survey administered to 96 safety and civil engineers who had experience in managing foreign workers at construction sites all over the country.
