제조업의 TBM활동이 안전요인에 미치는 영향

Effect of TBM activities in manufacturing industry on safety factors: Focus on the safety communication, safety importance culture, regulatory procedure culture

중대재해법의 시행과 같은 정부규제와 다양한 안전보건정책을 통한 사고예방활동에도 불구하고 안전사고의 발생률은 뚜렷한 감소세를 보이고 있지 않다. 이에 최근 고용노동부는 법적인 의무사항은 아니지만 Tool Box Meeting에 대한 가이드를 배포하고 TBM활동을 안전사고예방을 위한 핵심 활동으로 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 안전사고예방을 위하여 현재 TBM활동을 실시하고 있는 제조업사업장을 대상으로 TBM활동이 안전요인에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 선행연구고찰을 통해 TBM활동수준을 독립변수로 안전의사소통, 안전중요성문화, 규정절차문화를 종속변수로 구성하였다. 제조업사업장 13개 업체근로자 179명을 대상으로 설문조사한 결과를 바탕으로 통계분석프로그램인 JAMOVI를 이용하여 통계분석을 진행하였다. 연구결과 제조업의 TBM활동수준이 안전의사소통(=0.607, p<.001), 안전중요성문화(=0.574, p<.001), 규정절차문화(=0.579, p<.001)에 모두 정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 첫째, 제조업의 TBM활동이 안전문화 하부요인들을 개선해 안전사고예방에 긍정적 영향을 줄 수 있다는 점과 둘째, 제조업 안전사고예방을 위하여 TBM활동이 더욱 활성화되어야 한다는 점 등에 대하여 시사점을 논의하였다. 더불어 제조업사업장의 TBM활동에 대한 안전성과에 대한 후속연구를 통해 제조업에서 TBM활동이 활성화되고 안전사고예방에 기여하기를 기대한다.

Despite accident prevention activities through government regulations such as the enforcement of the Serious Accident Act and various safety and health policies, the incidence of safety accidents is not showing a clear decrease. Accordingly, the Ministry of Employment and Labor recently distributed a guide on Tool Box Meetings and presented TBM activities as a key activity to prevent safety accidents, although it is not a legal obligation. In this study, we studied the impact of TBM activities on safety factors in manufacturing plants that are currently operating TBM activities to prevent safety accidents. Through a review of previous research, the TBM activity level was used as an independent variable, and safety communication, safety importance culture, and regulatory procedure culture were configured as dependent variables. Based on the results of a survey of 179 workers at 13 manufacturing plants, statistical analysis was conducted using JAMOVI, a statistical analysis program. As a result of the study, the level of TBM activity in the manufacturing industry was positively related to safety communication (=0.607, p<.001), safety importance culture (=0.574, p<.001), and regulatory procedure culture (=0.579, p<.001). It was confirmed to have a significant effect. Through these results, implications were discussed: first, that TBM activities in the manufacturing industry can affect safety accident prevention by improving safety culture subfactors, and second, that TBM activities should be more activated to prevent safety accidents in the manufacturing industry. . In addition, we hope that TBM activities will be activated in the manufacturing industry and contribute to the prevention of safety accidents through follow-up research on the safety effects of TBM activities at manufacturing workplaces.
