The Impact of Industrial Safety and Health Supervision on Accident Rates in Workplaces with Fewer than 50 Employees: Focusing on the Daejeon and Chungnam Region

Recently, the serious accident punishment act has led to increased interest in establishing autonomous safety systems in industrial sites. However, the effectiveness of industrial safety and health supervision has not been significantly highlighted. This study examined the impact of industrial safety and health supervision on accident rates in manufacturing companies with 5 to 50 employees in the Daejeon and Chungnam regions. the Analysis of data from 32 sites revealed that companies receiving supervision experienced a positive reduction in accident rates compared to before supervision. the Effectiveness of this supervision was most significant within three years after its implementation. Additionally, the reduction in accident rates for supervised companies was 2.9 times greater than for unsupervised companies, with the gap widening during the effective performance period. This study underscores the importance of industrial safety and health supervision in reducing accident rates, suggesting that continuous oversight by administrative agencies can lead to improved safety outcomes.
