건설재해 예방을 위한 혹서기 건설작업온도지수 프로토타입 개발

Abstract

The recent climate of Korea is changing gradually to subtropical one. This phenomenon causes that the number of days and casualties of extreme heat season is increased in Korea to date. This study focuses on the development of the prototype of the temperature index for construction work to curb the construction work disasters in the season. Firstly, we analyze the cutting edge technology about the index for heat or temperature. Secondly, we review the increasement in casualty in the construction site by the extreme heat in Korea through the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency(KOSHA). Thirdly, we analyze the characteristics of construction work factor for considering the CWTI (Construction Work Temperature Index). Lastly, we suggest to develop the basic prototype of the temperature index against construction work disaster in the extreme heat season, as the CWTI. We suggest the CWTI as TI+WI+HI which presents temperature index combined by Weather Index and Human Index. We validate the CWTI with the case study in specific construction site in the Daegu which is the hottest city in Korea. This study can provide the CWTI as a basic framework and tool to reduce the terrible accidents in construction site.
