The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of safety culture on the safety consciousness and safety behaviors of manufacturing workers, and to suggest ways for manufacturing workers to understand the safety culture and improve safety consciousness and safety behavior. To achieve this research objective, out of 176 industrial complexes in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province registered with the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, workers at 50 industrial complexes, including the Korea Export-Industrial Complex and Seoul's Onsuji, were subject to research. The implementation of this survey distributed 300 questionnaires through the mid-level managers of manufacturers and environment safety and health managers over a period of one month from August 1st to 31st, 2019, finally statisticalizing the data in 282 parts excluding 18 questionnaires deemed to have been unresponsive. First, the safety culture (safety climate, safety procedures) has a positive effect on the safety consciousness (recognition of importance, interest and participation inducement) of the manufacturing workers. Second, the safety culture (safety climate, safety procedures) has a positive effect on the safety behavior (safety planning, safety check) of manufacturing workers. Third, safety consciousness (recognition of importance, interest and inducement of participation) has a positive influence on the safety behavior (safety planning, safety check) of manufacturing workers. Fourth, the safety consciousness (recognition of importance, interest and inducement of participation) appears to have a partial mediating effect in relation to safety culture (safety climate, safety procedure) and safety behavior (safety planning, safety check) of manufacturing workers. The implication of this study is that although the industrial accidents have occurred in the manufacturing industry in recent years, the studies on the workers in the manufacturing industry are insufficient. However, this study is meaningful that it has suggested ways for manufacturing workers to understand the safety culture and improve the safety consciousness and safety behavior by analyzing the effects of safety culture on safety consciousness and safety behavior of manufacturing workers.

In the past 20 years, accidents in the construction industry have declined in absolute numbers. On the other hand, disasters occurring at small and medium-sized construction sites account for more than 80% of the entire construction industry and are showing a continuous increase. A system for preparing a safety and health register in stages was enacted to preemptively prevent accidents by mandating responsibility for safety to owners with relatively strong authority in the construction industry. Considerable is needed to become an effective legal system. Although there have been many studies related to safety management plans and hazard prevention plans, there are no studies on the safety and health register. Therefore, in this study, an improved safety management procedure connected with the orderer's safety and health management procedure was presented as a plan for reducing accidents at small and medium-sized construction sites. All information was made as a data-based procedure to reduce the burden on the manager. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for the development of a safety management support information system for small and medium-sized construction sites.

In managing shipping business, the concept of seaworthiness of the vessel has developed in accordance with the development of the shipping industry. However, despite of the development of the vessel's seaworthiness, marine accident has continuously occurred at sea. International Maritime Organization(IMO) has paid attention to the research and investigation of Human Error in shipping operations in addition to physical seaworthiness of the vessel. In 1994, IMO adopted the "International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention(ISM code)" of "SOLAS 1974" Annex, to take countermeasure against this human error. In 1999, Korea adopted the 'ISM Code' and then enacted the Maritime Safety Act (previously Maritime Traffic Safety Act). The Maritime Safety Act regulates necessary qualifications of the Human Resources of shipping companies for establishment and implementation of the safety management system. However, there has been a discrepancy between shipowners and ship management companies in interpreting the legislative texts, finally causing confusion. In this paper, I would like to examine the deficiencies in the regulation on the standard of qualifications of the Designated Person under the Maritime Safety Act and thereby suggest any possible improvements in it.

Currently, safety accidents in hospitals are steadily occurring. In particular, safety accidents of elderly patients with weak immunity, such as nursing hospitals, continue to occur, and countermeasures are needed. Most accidents are caused by patient movement. As a method of reducing safety accidents by analyzing and recognizing the sound of the inpatient room according to the movement of the patient, this paper classifies the sound pattern for sound recognition in the hospital inpatient room using DTW (Dynamic Time Warping), an algorithm applicable to time-series pattern recognition. It was analyzed by applying it to the inpatient room environment.

In modern society, buildings has become larger, more complex and high-rise by the influences of locational and environmental characteristics from the changes of human lifestyles. Such features of the buildings, however, make building management and maintenance more difficult, especially in the aspects of health, security, and safety, etc. In order to secure safety and comfort in dwelling, housing, and working condition, it is essential to establish systematic plans and practices. Thus with the aim of investigating general status of fire safety management on specific buildings, this study mainly analyzed fire prevention manager's awareness on their works by conducting a survey, and suggested required systematic improvements for efficient fire safety management. As a result of the survey, it is concluded that introducing the system to appoint fire prevention sub-managers will promote more professional and classified management conditions.

The average number of deaths in the construction industry reaches 500 per year, and in particular, it is confirmed that the type of accidents and deaths caused by disasters such as work platforms has occupied more than 60% of the total. In this study, we presented a structured and combined solution for technology, management, education, and cost that can solve systematically, politically, and external environmental factors as well as direct influence factors. In addition, we examined the safety and safety standards of domestic and international safety, and discussed implications. First, direct impact factors, organizational impact factors, policy influence factors, and external environmental impact factors were examined and classified into technical, education, and institutional dimensions. Second, in relation to the installation of the work scaffold, the standards (OSHA 1926.452), UK (The Work at Height Regulations 2005 No.735, BS5975), Japan (Labor Safety and Sanitation Regulations) and Germany (DIN 4420_4, DIN EN12810). In the case of domestic safety standards, similar to the foreign safety standards, safety measures such as materials and specifications are applied. However, details related to the installation, assembly and structure of the work platform are somewhat different from those in the United States and the United Kingdom excluding Japan. Using the results of this study, it is possible to understand the cause of the accident of foot pedestrian accident more systematically and comprehensively, and safety managers and researchers are expected to help in the accident investigation.

In this study, we proposed the possibility of reliability analysis of risk index by using Monte Carlo simulation as basic data of safety accident occurrence data and expert opinion by construction industry type. Through this, it is expected that risk index for safety accidents according to detailed types of works will be presented stochastically and it will be possible to predict the risk factors and the expected range of damage based on the reliability analysis in the construction safety management plan. It will also reduce many of the planning risks that are common to decision makers in the field of construction management. In identifying risks, road bridge construction was classified into earthworks, drainage works, and bridge construction, and possible safety accidents were classified based on expert data. The risk index was calculated for each detailed construction of road and bridge construction, drainage construction, and bridge construction.

Recently, interest in industrial accidents such as the Industrial Safety and Health Act and the Serious Accident Punishment Act is increasing, and the demand for safety managers for safety management of workers in research institutes and industrial fields of various fields is increasing. For worker safety management, CCTVs are being installed in factories and workplaces, and workers are monitored to enhance safety management. In this paper, we intend to design a dangerous situation assessment system by constructing data using CCTV in such a workplace and modeling it in JSON format. The data modeling was produced by referring to the data set construction guide for artificial intelligence learning and the quality management guideline of the Korea National Information Society(NIA). Through this system, we want to check what kind of risk management exists in the workplace by risk situation scenario and use it to build a more systematic system.

Objectives: 이 논문의 목적은 한 사업장에서 수십 년 동안 진행된 소음감소계획이 실제적이고, 경제적인 것을 증명하고 이를 바탕으로 소음의 공학적 개선방법과 효과적인 실행을 위한 실제 작동 가능한 모델을 제시하는 것이다. Methods: 1967년도에 설립된 다국적 전자회사에서 1987년부터 2002년까지 실행된 각종 소음 감소 노력, 요소, 프로그램을 분석하고 이 기간 동안 소음감소가 어떻게 실제로 일어났는지 분석하였다. 특히 회사가 다른 여러 가지 노력을 한 후에도 실질적 효과를 기대하기 어려워 공학적 개선과 같이 도입한 Action Learning Team (ALT) 활동에 초점을 두고 개선 효과를 파악하였다. Results: 실제 소음의 감소노력은 산업안전보건법의 변화에 따라 여러 가지 형태로 실행되었다. 주된 효과는 ALT활동이 있고 나서 이루어졌는데 평균 소음 노출수준이 86.9 dBA에서 79.8 dBA로 현저히 감소하였으며 소음 지역 (85dBA 이상 )도 10개 지역에서 3개 지역으로 70% 감소하였다. ALT 활동의 결과로 나타난 7개 지역의 소음 감소를 위해 투입된 총 비용이 6,767 달러였다. ALT 활동을 처음 시작한 첫해에 소음 감소지역을 줄임으로써 이 지역의 근로자가 청력검사를 받지 않아서 초기 396명의 근로자가 청력검사를 받던 것을 활동 후 130명만 받아 266명의 근로자가 청력검사를 받지 않아도 되어 청력검사 비용이 6,650 달러 절약되었다. 따라서 장기간으로 보면 매우 비용효과적인 방법으로 증명되었다. Conclusions: 실제 소음감소가 현저히 일어나고, 비용효과적인 소음 감소가 일어나려면 기기 설비 공정담당자가 소음감소의 중요성을 잘 알고, 그 기법을 숙지하고 있어야 하며, 실제 활동을 할 수 있도록 관리자 층의 권한을 위임 받아 활동할 수 있어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 공학적 개선 태스크포스팀을 운영하여 ALT활동을 하였을 때 실제적이고, 비용효과적인 소음 감소를 증명하였다.
