The objectives of this study is to develop evaluation indicators for the quantitative evaluation of construction safety culture level in order to prevent accidents by evaluating the level of safety culture and each safety culture elements of the construction site and to present the areas that should be focused on improvements. In this study, it was presented assessment indicators of the construction safety culture by analyzing previous studies for safety culture, by categorizing items as an important element of safety culture hierarchically and by reflecting the opinion of the construction site professional personnels using AHP analysis methodology. The assessment indicators of the construction safety culture were structured the details of the leadership, systems, and personal characteristics and derived weighted value by the pairwise comparison to quantify the detail assessment indicators in order to assess the construction safety culture level. This study presents a safety culture assessment indicators for the construction site to suggest directions for improving the construction site safety culture and prevent the accidents of the construction site by derived via a safety culture assessment of construction site.

Safety culture degradation signs in nuclear power plants with complex and diverse systems can lead to their equipments performance deterioration. If these signs are neglected, they become potential causes of accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor safety culture in the point of view of organization and management as well as to evaluate safety performance of nuclear power plants. Therefore, This paper suggested a methodology to evaluate safety culture weakness contributing the accidents' root causes in the case accidents occur at nuclear power plants. After reviewing methodologies using at domestic and international industry, the methodology suitable for domestic nuclear power plants was determined.

건설 현장에서 발생하는 사고가 전체 산업재해의 약 20~30%로 높은 비율을 보이고 있기 때문에, 위험성평가를 통해 위험을 감지하고 대책을 수립하는 것이 중요하다. 이 연구의 목적은 현장의 모든 관리자 및 근로자들이 참여하고 정보를 공유함으로써 근로자들의 안전한 작업환경을 조성하고, 건설현장 근로자의 안전의식과 안전문화를 형성하여 안전사고를 미연에 예방하기 위한 위험성평가 프레임워크 개발에 있다. 이를 통해 종합적인 안전관리를 실현하고, 안전한 작업환경을 조성하며, 근로자의 안전의식을 높이고 안전문화를 정착시키는 것이 주요 목적이다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 플랫폼을 활용하여 건설현장에 적합한 위험성평가 프레임워크를 개발하고자 한다. 이 프레임워크를 통해 안전한 작업환경을 조성하고, 건설현장 근로자의 안전의식과 안전문화를 형성하여 안전사고를 미연에 예방할 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 안전한 작업환경 조성과 안전사고 미연에 예방하는데 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 예측가능하다.

본 연구는 중대재해처벌법 시행 이후 1년 8개월이 지난 현재까지 사업장의 안전 문제에 대한 사회적 인식 부족을 확인하였다. 2023년 사업장 위험성 평가 지침 개정에도 불구하고, 안전 문화 인식과 참여율 저조가 주요 원인으로 확인되었다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로, 안전 리더십의 강조와 개개인의 셀프 리더십을 통한 자기효능감 향상 방법을 제시하였다. 사업장의 안전 문화 확산을 위한 캠페인의 중요성 또한 강조하였으며, 이를 기반으로 한 안전 문화 확산 전략의 재정립이 요구된다는 결론을 도출하였다.

The safety culture of an organization is very complex and hard to study, but it is possible to examine norms that make up the culture. This paper describes of a Process Safety Management (PSM) climate assessment tool developed in high risk industry such as chemical industries. The main purpose is to develop measuring software tool behaviors by examining their nature and strength and by analysing underlying factors that offer explanations for attitudinal differences. We reviewed the current techniques and literatures available to assess safety climate and culture, conducted focus group interviews and discussions. Based on the reviews and focus group, PSM climate assessment questionnaires and an online application program were developed. A pilot assessment was done at a chemical plant in Korea and the safety climate profile was completed. It was suggested to have a constant feedback from different sectors of industry to improve the application.

The newly updated Rail Safety Act is required to build a comprehensive railway safety management system with corresponding accreditation regulations for the purpose of safe railway operations. However, such efforts would not be enough to achieve a successful safety-performance solely without being in place of an appropriate level of safety cultures in an organization. No research was taken place to propose a safety culture maturity model and its estimate procedures in Korean railway industries. The research reviews a variety of safety maturity models applied in many other industries and the process of conducting surveys in order to propose a framework of railway safety maturity estimates, with a set of railway safety elements. This research is expected to contribute in diagnosing weak areas and finding their appropriate treatment, along with in placing the railway safety certificate program from 2014.

The current paper is to review the need to considering cultural and educational aspects rather than technical approaches for the maritime safety. General and rather simple views on culture and education are provided as well as the state-of-the-art of the methodologies on ship safety assessment. Conclusions such as the national role and contributions to the international bodies and the third worlds are drawn in addition to the importance of cultural and educational factors to enhance the safety of ships.

Although various methods have been tried to measure the safety culture of firms, they are limited to derive the qualitative analysis results according to the subjective criteria that are not formalized according to the evaluation method. We developed a questionnaire that can be applied to a combined power plant, quantified the evaluation results using the system dynamics model based on the results, and conducted simulation through various scenarios. And to present the criteria for safety cultural policy.

본 연구에서는 IT서비스 기업이 급변하는 사어 혼경변화에 효과적으로 적용 가능한 BCMS 도입을 위하여 IT서비스 업무종사자를 대상으로 안전의식수준을 조사하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 근속연수가 짧고 상대적으로 젊은 직원들이 나이 많은 장기 근속자보다 안전에 대한 수요가 많았으며, 전산프로그램을 개발하는 프로그래머들보다 인사, 지원, 회계 등의 지원부서에서 근무하는 인원들의 안전의식이 높게 측정되었다. 또한 구성원들은 경영진의 안전에 대한 리더십과 안전의식은 높게 평가한 반면, 회사의 안전 정책 중 성과관리, 절차 준수에 대해서는 낮게 평가하여 개인적 수준의 안전의식보다 조직적 수준의 안전문화 개선이 시급하다는 결론을 도출하였다.

The study of safety culture estimate has received a wide attentions in many other industries, rather in the contexture of railroad stands at an initial phase. A factor analysis and internal reliability test were conducted to check if the survey results are reliable by looking at how the factors are dimensioned and how the questionnaires are sub-grouped in accordance with such factors, and further if there are any other common attributes being extracted as a new factor. The designed 5 factors were expanded to 7 through the test, and they were renamed accordingly. The questionnaires are reorganized according to the new 7 factors. It implicates that thorough investigation of the common attributes is important in reducing the gaps between interviewers' and interviewees' understanding. Moreover, the results of internal reliability test represent the new design of questionnaire is reasonably acceptable with the high reliable values. We expect such approaches can be applied for the railway culture survey study to be more reliable and applicable.
