The working conditions of workers in the construction industry are much worse than those of other industries. In particular, in the case of road pavement maintenance, most of the work is done outdoors, and most of the convenience facilities that should be provided to guarantee the minimum basic rights of field workers, such as restrooms, break rooms, and restaurants, are not installed in the working environment of construction sites. Many road pavement maintenance workers are exposed to very poor and vulnerable environments, such as eating and relieving themselves on the road while being exposed to dust and sand. In this study, we introduce the TOTAL safety vehicle and mobile shelter, which were introduced to improve the vulnerable working conditions of field workers. The TOTAL safety vehicle is equipped with welfare facilities and safety equipment to enable workers to use safety and convenience facilities, and the mobile shelter is a large bus that is modified to provide welfare spaces such as rest areas and restrooms for field workers, so that it can be used at maintenance sites and new road construction sites. By installing this mobile convenience facility on site, it is expected to not only guarantee the minimum basic rights of road pavement maintenance construction site workers, but also help solve the labor shortage phenomenon (aging) caused by the avoidance of the construction industry by encouraging work motivation, producing excellent products, preventing construction workers from leaving for other jobs, and improving the working environment for female workers.
