Purpose: This study aims to provide foundational data for preventing industrial accidents and strengthening occupational safety management and education for foreign workers in the construction industry. It examines the employment status of foreign construction workers, including their distribution by country of origin, the proportion of foreign and domestic workers, occupational distribution, industrial accident trends among foreign workers, and the current status of occupational safety education through a literature review. Method: A descriptive research design was employed using secondary data, including national statistical surveys, government and institutional reports, and academic publications related to the employment status, industrial accidents, and safety education of foreign workers in the construction industry. Results: In 2024, the average monthly number of foreign workers was 114,186, of whom 49,371 had confirmed visas and nationalities. Among these foreigners, Korean Chinese (Joseonjok) accounted for 83.7%, followed by workers from mainland China (5.9%) and Vietnam (2.2%). Foreign workers represented 14.7% of the construction workforce in 2024, showing a continuous increase since 2020. By occupation, foreign workers were most commonly employed as ordinary laborers (23%), followed by formwork carpenters (21.8%) and steelworkers (11.7%). Higher proportions of foreign workers were also observed in interior work, interior carpentry, concrete work, and masonry—occupations with relatively low domestic participation. As reliance on foreign labor has increased, industrial accidents among foreign construction workers have also risen. Conclusion: To reduce industrial accidents among foreign construction workers, expanding multilingual occupational safety education is increasingly important as workers’ countries of origin become more diverse. In addition, culturally sensitive, multifaceted approaches that promote safety culture and effective communication at construction sites are needed alongside formal education programs.
