Abstract

It is difficult to secure a safety management system in emergency restoration work at large-scale disasters. It is reported that 13 people in 59% of all industries in Kumamoto Prefecture died in 2017 during the construction work related to the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. In this research, paying attention to labor accident compensation in emergency restoration work, we examined the way of proper labor compensation system. We analyzed the contents of labor accident compensation described in disaster agreement concluded between prefecture etc. and construction industry association. We also conducted an interview survey on the Kumamoto Prefecture Construction Association concerning labor accidents and compensation in the restoration work of the Kumamoto earthquake. In most municipalities' disaster agreement there is no statement on compensation, labor accident compensation is left to the construction company. Meanwhile, in Kumamoto Prefecture, the Construction Industry Association has introduced its own insurance system and has achieved certain results. Based on these results, we propose ways to optimize labor accident compensation for restoration work due to emergency dispatch.
