To promote the participation and support of workers in the industrial safety prevention acticities, the Honorary Industral Safety Inspector System was introduced by an instruction of the Ministry of Labor in July, 1995, and was newly inserted in article 61.2(the Honorary Industrial Safety Inspector System) when amending the Industrial Safety and Health Act in December, 1996. Based on the research analysis, the suggestions can be summarized as the following four items. First, regulate the election methods of the workers' representative in the case of labor union without the majority of the labors. Second, prohibit the Honorary Industrial Safety Inspector from participating as the employer member in the Industrial Safety and Health Committee. Fourth, promote the better understanding of the employer and specify the disadvantage ban provision(Article 61.2(2) Industrial Safety and Health Act) on the Honorary Industrial Safety Inspector activities. Fifth, develop and apply an Honorary Industrial Safety Inspector System models that correspond to the characteristics for each industry category. The research result points out that we have to consider the following countermeasures; First, the government should make up the support system by a law dealing with proper compensation and professional education for the supervisor, and tax reduction for companies. Second, the companies should make an effort firming up the safety consciousness of top management, and strengthening the employees' concern about safety through continuous safety education and campaign by a labor union, and promoting the supervisor's pride through recognition from top management and other emplowees.
