This paper made some statistical analyses on marine accidents in Korean waters using marine accident statistics. They were verified through analyses of one-way ANOVA: the difference in average number of marine accidents among Korean waters, between fishing and non-fishing vessels, and by year and by month The pairwise post hoc multiple comparisons of REGW-For GH test were additionally tested. As a result, there were significance differences among Korean waters. The difference of marine accidents by year was verified to have a statistical significance in the South and the East Sea for the fishing vessel, and in the South Sea for the non-fishing vessel. There were signifiant differences of monthly marine accidents by month in the Yellow and the East Sea for the fishing vessel only.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 건설현장에서 발생하는 안전사고 발생 특성과 강수특성 변화의 연관성을 분석하였다. 대상기간 2000년부터 2010년까지 지역별 건설 산업현장에서의 사고발생 건수(한국산업안전보건공단) 자료와 같은 시기 지역별 강수량 자료(기상청 지상관측지점)를 사용하여 강수량의 거동과 건설현장 사고발생 건수의 거동 사이의 상관성을 분석하였다. 건설현장 사고사례의 사고형태 중 부상자와 사망자 정보를 사용하였으며 지역의 구분은 특별시, 광역시 및 도 단위로 구분하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 전반적으로 연간 강수량의 증가 추세와 유사하게 전체 건설현장 안전사고의 발생건수가 증가하는 추세를 보이며, 지역별로 강수량의 증감 거동과 유사한 사고발생의 빈도의 증감거동을 보였다. 우리나라의 평균 월강수량과 월별 건설 안전사고 발생건수는 0.8의 선형상관성을 가지며 지역별 분석에서는 섬지역인 제주도가 가장 높은 상관계수 0.9를 나타냈고, 서울특별시 0.7, 대구광역시 0.7, 광주광역시 0.7, 부산광역시 0.5, 인천광역시 0.5, 대전광역시 0.4의 상관관계 순으로 나타났다. 강수변화에 따른 지역, 계절, 월별 강수-건설재해 상관성을 분석 제시하였다. 장마철인 7~8월에는 봄철인 3월~5월에 비해 강수량의 증가뿐만 아니라 21.16%의 사고 발생건수 증가가 나타났으며 우리나라의 강수특성 중 기후변화로 인하여 태풍의 영향이 많았던 시기의 사고발생의 특성을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 특히 2002년 태풍 '루사'와 2003년 태풍 '매미' 발생 시 산업현장의 재해 발생이 많이 있었던 것으로 조사 되었는데, 그 이유로는 산업현장에 태풍의 영향으로 감전사고 발생률이 2배가량 증가하며, 구조물과 사면이 무너져 내리는 등 사고가 빈번히 발생하면서 재해발생률이 더 증가하였다. 이처럼 기후변화에 따른 강수특성 변화로 건설 산업현장은 사고의 위험에 더욱 노출되고 있으므로 이에 대한 지역적 특성 분석과 대책 수립이 요구된다.

This paper proposed an accident prediction model in order to prevent accidents in mountain areas using a big data analysis. Data of accidents in mountain areas are shown as graphs. We have analyzed cases: the number of accidents per year, day of week, time of day to find patterns of the negligent accident in mountain areas. The proposed prediction model consists of weighted variables of the accident in mountain through visualized big data analysis. The model of danger index performance is demonstrated by showing accident-prone areas with weighted variables.

To determine the incidence rate of school accidents and its associated factors, a cohort observation was carried out in a boys' high school of a total of 2,324 students for an academic year from March 1986 to February 1987. Data for accidents were collected by the author (school nurse) as students came to the school health station for treatment of accidental injury. Data for school activities were obtained from the diary of academic affairs. A total of 603 students made 1,126 visits to the station for accidental injury during the study period that gave an average 1.9 accidents per student. The average number of visits for accidental injury per day was 5.1 and the incidence rate of accidental injury was 2.2 per 1,000 student days. Each class had about 30 accidents on the average in a year. However there were two classes that had exceptionally high incidence rate of accidents; 54 accidents in one class where 10 athletes were assigned and 58 accidents in the other class where the teacher in charge was On vacation for two months. The highest incidence rate of accident was observed in June (3.4 per 1,000 student days) and the lowest rates were in December and February (1.5 and 0.7 per 1,000 student days, respectively) and there were no appreciable difference by day of week. Accidents were caused by mischief or carelessness of students in 62.2% and by the inappropriate tools and facilities of school in 18.6% . The accidents caused by tools and facilities were mainly due to the antiquated chairs and tables. Referral rate to hospital for severe injury was three times higher in cloudy days and five times higher in rainy days than in clear days. There was almost no accident during the examination period but increased after the examination. Based on these findings, following measures are recommended to prevent school accident: disperse the athletes throughout the classes: should the teacher in charge leave the class for a long period, replace with another teacher who is familiar with the class to keep order; replace or repair the inappropriate tools and facilities; and warn the students for the risk of accident or broadcast music or let the students have light physical exercise to relieve the tension in cloudy or rainy day and after examination.

In this study, we wanted to analyze the causes of food poisoning and its major occurrence in September 2018 and analyze the relevance of the HACCP certification system to report the correlation. Based on three-year food poisoning cases and causative substances data, and big data on HACCP certification companies and food poisoning frequency, Hygiene 1: 'Salmonella would have spread through school food processing medium.' Hypothesis 2: The difference in the number of food poisoning cases in the last three years as the number of HACCP certifier increases, the number of food poisoning cases will be verified and the cause of food poisoning in September 2018. Studies show that the food poisoning in September 2018 was caused by salmonella bacteria and that outsourced food provided through school meals was the cause. It was also shown that the expansion of HACCP certification did not significantly contribute to the reduction of food poisoning. Therefore, the management operation measures were proposed as a solution to prevent salmonella and to become HACCP certification that could reduce food poisoning.

Despite to the reality that the outbreaks from flood poisoning in Korea have been continuously increasing in the last two decades, it was very much neglected even in the public health field in Korea. Food poisoning outbreaks resulted in many cases not only in the damage of health but also in the death of many lives. However, this problem can be effectively solved by effects through health education activities, but not solely by the legal measures. This study was carried out to provide information that can be used in planning health education programs and proposing new rules to prevent any possible outbreaks from flood poisoning. The main problems contributing to flood poisoning outbreaks in an institutional setting or school catering and at home were reviewed and analyzed through the epidemiological investigations and articles related to flood poisoning in the last a decade (1991 ∼ 2000). Accordingly, the data presented in this study are sufficient to show and prove the significant trends in food poisoning accidents in Korea. The major findings investigated in this study are as follows. The frequency of food poisoning accidents as well as the number of victims have continuously increased in Korea. The number of victims per food poisoning accident is also increased from 20 persons in 1990 to 69.8 persons in 2000. Therefore, we should realize that the group poisoning outbreaks occur more frequently and the size of group poisoning accidents is getting larger. Among four seasons, the food poisoning accidents occurred more frequently in the summer (May ∼September) until 1997, However, after 1997, the food poisoning accidents occurred evenly in three seasons except the winter. The most important bacteria that cause food poisoning in Korea were Salmonella spp., Vibrio spp. and Staphylococcus aureus. They occupied 85∼90% of the rates of accidents and the number of victims.
