Abstract There is a perception that modular construction method is safer compared to conventional construction methods that only perform work on-site. However, due to the nature of on-site tasks such as hoisting, assembling, roofing, and finishing work, workers may still be exposed to risks. Therefore, considering the potential accident risks that may occur on modular construction sites, research on preemptive disaster prevention and safety management for these sites is necessary. The purpose of this study is to develop a safety management checklist for disaster prevention at modular construction sites. The worker safety management checklist reflects empirical results from application to small and medium-sized modular construction sites in Korea. And it examines the work characteristics, key inspection items, appropriateness, usability, and effectiveness of modular construction sites. It is expected that the results of this study will contribute to research on worker safety management at modular construction sites in the future.
