Rapid growth in East Asia (especially in the Republic of Korea) since the 1970s has led to an increasing amount of large-scale construction projects such as skyscrapers. Consequently, it is possible that the development of safety guidelines has not progressed as quickly as needed. The development of novel construction and engineering technologies has been accompanied by diverse types of accidents that can occur on construction sites (Lee et al., 2004). An examination of the number of deaths by industry in Korea revealed that the construction industry represents the largest share (27.26%) of the 606 deaths (Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, 2009). A further investigation of the death toll by accident type showed that falling from elevation took the largest share (181 deaths), followed by 14 deaths from slips, trips, and falls. Considering dangerous objects and temporary structures in particular, 59 persons were killed in accidents involving construction scaffolding (Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, 2009). An analysis of data describing the victims of industrial accidents according to their level of work experience indicates that inexperienced workers suffered the majority of injuries; there were
