According to the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency's (KOSHA) report on industrial accident statistics over the past four years, the number of casualties at construction sites from 2017 to June 2020 was about 93,158 and the number of deaths was about 1,977, showing a high trend of safety accidents among the eight major occupational groups, with the construction industry ranking third in total and the death rate being the highest in total. Among them, the number of deaths caused by falls in the entire occupational category is about 1,267, the highest rate of deaths due to contact is about 522, which is a frequent safety accident among the top three accident types. This paper aims to help reduce the overall proportion of construction safety accidents by developing smart safety sensing devices using ultrasonic sensors to prevent two types of safety accidents, which have the highest rate of occurrence among various types of safety accidents occurring at construction sites.

산업의 발전과 경제성장을 바탕으로 대한민국의 자동차 등록수는 매년 꾸준한 증가세를 보이고 있다. 이와 더불어 자동차 사고 또한 급격히 증가하고 있다. 대한민국은 OECD회원국중 교통사고 발생건수가 높은 편이고 사망자수 또한 상위에 랭크되어 있다. 이러한 사망자 수는 각 나라별 교통사고 발생건수 대비 사망자수와 비교시 높은 사망률을 보이고 있다. 또한 자동차 충돌 사고에서 빈번히 발생되는 운전자의 의식불명에 따른 초기 응급조치의 미흡, 뺑소니 또는 사고 후 방치되는 상황을 방지하기 위해 차량용 블랙박스와 사고발생 통보 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 가속도센서를 이용하여 사고 발생시 충격 임계점을 계산한 후 사고 발생을 블루투스를 이용하여 스마트폰으로 전송한다, 또한, 교통사고 발생 후 환자의 응급 후송 및 2차 교통사고를 방지하기 위한 시스템의 필요성에 따라 블랙박스를 접목한 차량용 응급상황 감지 및 통보 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

For a holistic and precise assessment of safety benchmarks within a construction venture, it's paramount to delineate between the intrinsic features of the construction and its real-time, on-site performance metrics. In this study, we delved into genuine accident instances to discern the interplay between these construction attributes and on-ground performance determinants in relation to safety mishaps, employing the binomial logit analytical framework. Our scrutiny underscored that construction expenditure profoundly modulates the likelihood of fatal occurrences. Notably, variables pertinent to on-site safety protocols wielded considerable influence over both fatal mishaps and accidents implicating multiple personnel. These revelations intimate that while ascertaining the safety quotient of a construction initiative, a mere classification and recalibration based on fiscal dimensions can elucidate much. Yet, a comprehensive safety appraisal necessitates transcending quantitative indices, such as frequency of mishaps or casualty rates, to encapsulate the multifaceted interventions and strategies adopted at the construction locale.

사망원인통계연보는 사망발생 당년에 신고된 사망 자료만 수록하고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 사망원인통계연보에 수록된 사망(당년신고, 또는 비지연신고)은 물론 수록되지 아니한 사망(지연신고)의 사인구조를 파악하고자 한다. 부차적으로, 사인구조를 평가하기 위해서 지연신고의 다양한 특성을 검토하고 있다. 1983년부터 1993년까지 신고된 모든 사망신고를 기초로, 지연신고와 당년신고라는 신고행태에 따라 사인별 사망구성비, 사망률, 사망률성비를 구하였다. 지연신고율이 지속적으로 감소하고 있지만, 지연신고율은 다른 집단보다 여성, 젊은층, 의사진단사망자, 병원사망자에게서 더 높다. 당년신고 사망자의 성별 사인구조와 비교해 볼 때, 지연신고 사망자의 주요 사인구조는 성별에 따라 달라지는데, 남성에게는 감염성질환, 순환기계질환, 호흡기계질환의 비중이 더 커지고, 여성에게는 감염성질환, 호흡기계질환 및 소화기계질환의 비중이 더 커진다. 1983~1993년 동안 신고된 모든 사망에 대한 주요 발견은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 순환기계질환, 악성 종양, 손상 및 중독이 남녀 모두에게 주요 3대 사인이다. 둘째, 만성 간질환, 각종 사고, 폐암, 자살은 남성에게 치명적인 사인으로서 남녀의 성별 사망력 차이를 넓혀주는 원인이다. 세째, 손상 및 중독, 특히 교통사고는 45세 이하의 젊은 층에게 중요한 사인이 되는데 반해, 순환기계질환, 악성 종양, 소화기계질환은 고령층에게 중요한 사인이 된다.

1993년 5월 10일 태국 Kader공업(주)에서 큰 화재가 발생하여 188명의 종업원이 사망하는 대형사고가 있었다. 이 사고는 공장화재 역사상 세계 최대의 인명피해를 기록하게 되었다. 지금까지 82년 동안은 146명의 사망자를 낸 뉴욕 Triangle Shirtwaist공장화재가 최대 인명피해였다. 이 두 사고는 유사한 점이 많다. 우리나라에서도 크고 작은 공장화재가 발생하여 인명피해가 자주 일어나고 있다. NFPA journal 94년 2월호에 게재된 이번 사고를 요약 정리함으로서 공장관리에 참고가 되었으면 한다.

By materials of traffic safety public corporation, from 2007. 1. 1 to 2007 12. 31, for a year. traffic accidents took place in korea were 211,662 accidents. By this 6,166 people were death, and 335,906 people were wounded. In Gwangju metropolitan city, in 2007 year, 7,881 accidents took place and 152 people were death and 12,728 peoples were wounded, in 2008 year, 8,231 accidents took place and 138 people were death and 13,533 people were wounded. Death people reduced but accidents numbers were in creased 4.4%. Meanwhile, government did various traffic policies to reduce traffic accident. But still, disgrace of underdeveloped country in traffic division couldn't take off. Moreover, traffic safety unconcern of general country people are very deficient. In this research, as the basis of Gwangju province police agency, in traffic accident the present state, I am' going to analyse the part of directly related to citizen life and centering death accident and to present traffic police activities for prevention of traffic accidents.

Accidents involving deaths of children and pedestrians continue to occur in child protection zones, also known as school zones. Over the three years from 2019 to 2021, 11 child deaths occurred in school zones in Korea. In December 2022, a fatal accident occurred among an elementary school student in a school zone near an elementary school in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. In April 2023, an accident occurred in which an elementary school student died in a school zone near Seo-gu Middle School in Daejeon and an elementary school in Yeongdo-gu, Busan. Until recently, child deaths continued to occur on sidewalks in child protection zones. It is time to closely review the status of safety facilities installed in school zones and related regulations. We investigated and analyzed the current status of safety facilities and related regulations installed on sidewalks in child protection zones in Korea, and identified matters necessary for institutional improvement regarding safety facilities for sidewalks in child protection zones.

In this paper, we systematically investigate regional differences of the dead due to injuries in cities, towns and counties about transportation accidents, suicides and fall accidents, which have recently been an important issue of health problems in Korea, The data are from the Annual Report on the Cause of Death Statistics in Korea in 2008. They include the deaths over the age 19 from transportation accidents, suicides and fall accidents with the criterion of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases. Poisson HGLM is applied to estimate the mortality rate under the assumption that the number of deaths follow a Poisson distribution, by considering regions as random effects and by adjusting age, sex and standardized residence tax as fixed effects. Using the results of random effects prediction, the regional differences in cities, counties and towns are marked in disease mapping. The results showed that there were significant regional differences of mortality rates for transportation accidents and suicides, but no significant differences for fall accidents.

In case of Korea Social cost by road traffic accident came to about 15 trillion per year and to 2.15% of GDP, a day about 20 person death to traffic accident and those damage scale reach out about 7 billions. Concretely, according to OECD traffic accident comparison on July 2005 (2003 statistical analysis), in korea, 7,212 Person were dead. This describe that the sacrifice numbers of traffic accident is 26 level of OECD 26 countries, the dead of traffic accident on children 100,000 persons is 25 level of OECD 25 countries. It is contrast to other developed countries. In the meantime, korea government executed various traffic policies to reduce traffic accident and depending on those policies, even if, there were epochal progressive phenomena the concerns of citizens which felt on franc accident is very deficient. On this research, traffic accident state of taking place of Gowangju.Jeonnam province was analysed depend on jeonnam province police station materials and want to suggest appropriate traffic safty counterplan propose. This subject was analysed traffic accident according the death with analysing per month, day, hour, and suggest counterplan depending on traffic accident analysis result on 2004. 2005 years.

지난 6월 1일부터 사업주가 안전모 · 안전대 · 안전화를 지급하고 착용토록 했으나 이를 착용하지 않은 근로자에게는 1차 경고 없이 현장에서 즉시 5만원의 과태료가 부과된다. 만약 사업주가 보호구를 지급하지 않아 근로자가 이를 착용하지 못했다면 근로자에게 과태료를 부과할 수 없으며, 사업주에게 5년 이하의 징역 또는 5천만원 이하의 벌금이 부과된다. 노동부가 이처럼 근로자에게 즉시 과태료를 부과키로 한 것은 지난해 사망사고 분석 결과 564명(전체의 52.8%)이 추락이나 낙하 · 비래로 인해 사망했고, 이런 사망사고를 예방하기 위해서는 안전모 · 안전대 착용이 필수적이기 때문이다. 이번 FOCUS에서는 근로자의 안전에 가장 직접적인 영향을 주는 보호구에 대해서 알아본다.
