A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for one year.

However, the execution of the above punishment shall be suspended for two years from the date this judgment becomes final and conclusive.

Punishment of the crime

The Defendant, as the representative of the “C” in the Chungcheongbuk-si B, is a person in charge of safety management at the factory roof repair work site of the Gangnam-gun D Co., Ltd., Gangwon-gu.

At around 13:50 on December 9, 2019, the Defendant had three workers, including the Victim F (year 61), carry out factory roof maintenance and repair work at the site of the above construction site.

The business owner shall pay a safety belt to an employee engaged in work at a place with a high height or a depth of not less than two meters, and shall take measures to prevent the fall risk, such as having the employee wear a safety belt, where the workers might fall or fall, or in conducting work at a place where the workers might fall or fall, machinery, equipment, vessel block, etc., and where the workers might pose a danger, he/she shall install a working light by assembling a light gauge, etc., where it is difficult to install a fall protection net, and where it is difficult to install a fall protection net, he/she shall take measures to prevent the fall

In addition, measures necessary to prevent hazards, such as installation of a light board at least 30 cm wide or a fall-off net, should be taken in cases where workers are likely to be at risk, such as falling on the roof covering with weak materials such as asbestos slate and lines.

Nevertheless, the Defendant did not pay a safety belt to workers, including the victim, and even if the part of the roof of a factory covers it with a line, which might cause danger, such as the falling of workers, etc., but without any safety measures such as installation of a work plate or a fall-off network, the Defendant caused the victim, who had the transport of the board on the roof by occupational negligence, to proceed with the roof maintenance and repair work without any safety measures such as the installation of a fall-off network.

In the end, the Defendant shall take necessary measures to prevent risks caused by fall as above.
