Abstract
The mortality rate【 】in occupational accident in construction industry is 0.131 per 1,000 person in 2004 in Taiwan, declined 44.2% to average of 2000 to 2003. Comparing to US 0.12 (2002), UK 0.051 (2002) and Japan 0.12 (2002), it’s still above average. Besides, The mortality rate in occupational accident in construction industry is higher than average in industry as a whole and manufacture industry. US OSHA relates to decrease worker death, injury and disability is its primary goal in its strategy 2003-2008. Competent authority here in Taiwan also declares to reduce 20% in death rate and injury and disability rate in 2 years.
This thesis discusses the major cases in occupational accident in construction industry in some selected areas like Taipei County, Keelung City, Taoyuan County, Hsinchu County, Hsinchu City, Elan County, Hualien County, Lienchiang County from 1998 to 2005. We focus on personal data like gender, age, working experience, insurance, reconciliation, foreign laborer and enterprise basic data like construction work value, contract relationship, labor numbers. Also we take the peril occuring period, area, media, type into account. We analysis whether the different type of construction have different type of peril and media.
To discuss the cause of peril (hazard), 「The Theory of Accidental Causation」－ interaction between worker and machine, consequence and frequency, non safety cause, cost of peril and preventive action taken by management, then, 「Domino Theory」－causations of peril can be divided into 5 dominos. Revelent theories indicate that the amount of indirect losses are much more than direct losses(characteristic of iceberg).
We analysis the amendment of regulation by competent authority to prevent occupational accident to occurance of occupational accident. Next we compare facilities and measures, although the facilities are the indirect cause to occur the occuptional accident, more measures are the basic cause. That is entity management has big problems.This thesis would like to find some measures to recommend the entities and compentent authority.
