산업재해 통계분석의 커다란 목적은 각 산업별로 주 위험요인을 도출하고 이에 따른 안전교육의 실시 또는 안전장치 등을 보완함으로써 산업재해를 줄이거나 예방하는데 있다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 일반 제조업이나 건설업 등에서는 아직까지도 정량적 위험성 평가 기법이 개발되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 효율적인 위험성 평가 기법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 데이터마이닝 기법을 이용한 산업재해 예방을 위한 최적 알고리즘 선정 방법을 제시한다.

Many researches have been focused on the analysis of industry disasters in order to reduce them. As a similar endeavor, this paper provides a propensity analysis of injured people from various industries using classification and regression tree(CART), a data mining algorithm. The sample for this work was chosen from 25,157data related to various industries during one year ( 2003.2~2004.1 ) at Kangwon-Do in Korea. For the purpose of this paper, eight independent variables (injured date, injured time, injured month, type of Injured person, continuous service period, sex, company size, age)are taken from injured person group. According to the analysis result, it is found that five out of the eight factors that are predicted as significant have salient effects. Factors of season, time/hour, day of the week, or month which disasters happened do not show any significant effect. This paper provides common features of injured people. The provided analysis result will be helpful as a starting point for root cause analysis and reduction of industry disasters and also for development of a guideline of safety management.
