2026 Construction Safety Engineer Written Exam
Description
Book Introduction
preface
In 2026, with rapidly changing domestic and international situations and an era of unlimited national competitiveness, following the 2014 Sewol Ferry Disaster, all safety professionals are urged to reflect on their safety practices and renew their resolve. At this critical juncture, where changes are urgently needed across the public, private, industrial, academic, and research sectors, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all students studying to become construction safety engineers for their determination and dedication.
In particular, in order to solve our immediate problems, such as facing unlimited domestic and international competitiveness due to the inter-Korean summit and market opening on April 27, 2018, and achieving our goal of the best quality, all of our safety personnel must continue their endless research efforts. To provide clear motivation for this, I believe that we must urgently expand the scope of utilization for safety managers and provide incentives for safety engineers.
Article 34 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea and the Safety Management Charter also emphasize the safety of the people.
This book is neither for research nor reference purposes, and is solely designed to apply the revised law and NCS (Patent No. 10-2687805) standards to pass the Construction Safety Engineer exam, and is composed of only the content necessary for the exam.
This book was created to prepare for obtaining the Construction Safety Engineer license.
1.
This book's key points are presented simply, clearly, and specifically, ensuring that you can pass the exam with just this one volume. (The expected questions for each chapter are provided for preview and review.)
2.
If you did not understand the main point of the text, we made sure to make sure you understood it by looking at the expected questions.
3.
It is structured so that if you understand one problem (1 item), you can solve ten problems (10 items).
4.
This book is designed to differentiate itself from other textbooks by including all of the anticipated exam questions that have been discussed in depth recently.
5.
The conclusion to obtaining the Construction Safety Engineer license is organized into this book's key points, expected questions, and passing strategies to ensure passing the exam.
6.
We have applied the revised exam standards to the questions from the previous years and included explanations in an encyclopedia format to ensure thorough preparation for the exam.
7.
The number of stars is organized from 1 to 5, and the expected questions are highlighted in blue to emphasize important points so that you can definitely pass.
I would also like to express my gratitude to President Park Yong and all the staff of Sehwa Publishing, who have worked tirelessly day and night to bring this Construction Safety Article to the world. I also sincerely thank my God, who has given me unwavering grace and love until today.
