Recently, as the number of elderly workers continues to increase in Korea, their accidents are also increasing, and efforts to prevent disasters for them are urgently needed. Heinrich (1931) said that 98% of disasters are caused by unstable (10%) and unstable behavior (88%) when viewed as direct causes. Accordingly, a comprehensive study on the unstable behavior of elderly workers is needed. Therefore, in this study, the unstable behavior of elderly workers in the construction industry was analyzed using the IPA (Importance-performance Analysis) technique. As a result, unnecessary movements for both Koreans and foreign elderly workers were found to be areas to be improved. In order to improve this unnecessary movement, continuous efforts for each worker's safety activities are needed. The results of the study will be efficiently educated and managed according to the characteristics of elderly workers through selection and concentration in the future.
