Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the characteristics of industrial accident deaths in the construction industry from 2015 to 2020 by year. Methods: The results were analyzed using the results presented in the ｢Industrial Accident Status Analysis｣ published by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Results: First, while the number of deaths at large-scale workplaces decreased, the number of deaths at small-scale workplaces increased significantly from 71.6% in 2015 to 81.0% in 2020. It is necessary to find a way to provide direct safety and health services necessary for small-scale construction sites by raising funds by collecting the budget required for inspection of small-scale business sites. Second, the number of accidental deaths over the age of 60 significantly increased to 41.9% in 2020 compared to 32.0% in 2015. It is necessary to place older workers at an appropriate work intensity and to promote accident prevention activities in terms of occupational health. Third, the number of industrial deaths among those with less than 5 years of work experience increased from 96.6% in 2015 to 97.2% in 2020. It is necessary to provide sufficient education to unskilled workers on work methods and working postures. Conclusion: It is meaningful in that by analyzing the factors that affect the accidental death of construction workers, the necessity to change to a disaster prevention policy centered on practical and continuous support rather than a one-time supervision or inspection centered policy was confirmed.
