Free Practice Questions for Industrial Engineer Industrial Safety

Industrial Engineer Industrial Safety (산업안전산업기사) is a national technical qualification administered by HRD Korea under the Ministry of Employment and Labor (Q-Net qualification code 1779). It certifies that the holder possesses technical competence to identify, evaluate, and control occupational hazards, manage workplace safety compliance under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and implement accident prevention programs across manufacturing, construction, and chemical processing facilities.

Eligibility pathways under the National Technical Qualifications Act include: (1) graduation or expected graduation from a 2-year or 3-year technical college program in safety engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, or related fields; (2) completion of at least 2 years (or 4 semesters) of a 4-year university degree program; (3) holding a Craftsman (기능사) qualification plus at least 1 year of verified practical experience; or (4) at least 2 years of verified full-time practical work experience in occupational safety or related technical positions. Candidate eligibility should be verified through the Q-Net self-diagnosis portal.

The official written examination is delivered as a computer-based test (CBT) of 100 four-option multiple-choice questions spread evenly across 5 subjects at 20 questions each: Industrial Accident Prevention & Occupational Safety and Health Education; Ergonomics & Risk Assessment/Management; Machinery, Apparatus & Equipment Safety Management; Electrical & Chemical Facility Safety Management; and Construction Work Safety Management. The total time limit is 150 minutes, equivalent to 30 minutes per subject.

To pass the written CBT exam, candidates must achieve at least 40 points out of 100 in every individual subject (scoring below 40 in any subject is an automatic failure termed 과락) and achieve an overall average score of 60 points or higher across all 5 subjects. The subsequent practical exam requires a composite score of at least 60 points out of 100.

The practical examination is conducted in a composite format (복합형, 100 points in total, about 2 hours) divided into two parts: a written short-answer engineering paper (필답형, 55 points, about 1 hour) testing recall and application of safety regulations and calculations, and a video-based workstation hazard analysis paper (작업형, 45 points, about 1 hour) in which candidates watch recorded work scenes and identify hazards and required controls. A combined score of 60 or more out of 100 is required to pass.

OpenExamPrep provides an independent 100-question English-language MCQ practice bank covering all 5 official written CBT subjects with exhaustive rationales, distractor breakdowns, and authentic engineering calculation problems (such as frequency rate, severity rate, FTA Boolean gates, Dalziel shock current, and ventilation capture velocity). It serves as an essential study resource for bilingual engineers, university students, and international safety professionals in South Korea, though it is not an official Q-Net translation or practical simulation.

Yes. Under the examination standard effective from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2026 the five written subjects are 산업재해 예방 및 안전보건교육, 인간공학 및 위험성 평가·관리, 기계·기구 및 설비 안전 관리, 전기 및 화학설비 안전 관리, and 건설공사 안전 관리. Two changes catch candidates out: electrical and chemical safety are a single merged subject at Industrial Engineer grade, and 건설공사 안전 관리 is a full 20-item subject in its own right. This practice bank is organised into the same five 20-question sections so that practice weighting matches the real paper.
