Purpose: Mobile cranes are machines that contribute to high mortality, and the High Risk Factor (SIF) information, which analyzed 2,574 accidental deaths in the construction industry in the past 6 years (2016~2021), resulted in a total of 61 mobile crane accidents. Despite safety measures in the field, it is not used properly. In this study, we present standard risk assessment indicators that contribute to accident prevention. Method: Through expert interviews, fatal accident case analysis, field analysis, and literature research, we present the standard risk assessment index method of the 4M risk assessment method. Result: As a result of analyzing the risk assessment of eight sites, it was concluded that it cannot make a significant contribution to disaster prevention and should be applied as an improvement measure of the Standard Risk Assessment Index Law. Conclusion: Switching to the standard risk assessment index method at construction sites has been proposed to make it easier for health and safety personnel and workers to use, contributing to the reduction of accidents.

Recent studies have reported about UAV-based disaster rescue system adopting AR technology. Performing a disaster rescue training in an environment similar to an actual disaster site results in high costs and risk of accidents. In this paper, we propose a simulation software using VR technology so that rescuer can safely and inexpensively train the operation of the disaster rescue system. Through the analysis of the existing system, we derived the requirements for virtualizing training, and developed the simulation software using Unreal Engine and Airsim API. Simulation results show that the proposed simulation software can effectively simulate the operation of the conventional disaster rescue system.

As three sides of Korea are surrounded by the sea and it is geographically located at an intersect point for continental and maritime climate, the climate crisis and global warming factors that lead to large-scale natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and tsunami as well as disasters and damage to humans are increasing due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. Therefore, this study measured the ability of people to cope with disaster in students studying emergency rescue who will play a central role in safety and casualty control in disaster areas in order to figure out the factors that will influence their overall ability. As a result, the following things were discovered: Those who had the experience of listening to information on how to cope in a disaster scored significantly higher in disaster coping scores than those who did not. In comparison with subjects who responded that they were not satisfied with their emergency rescue training at school, those who responded that they were satisfied with their education scored significantly higher in their disaster coping scores. In comparison with subjects who responded negatively to the questions on experience in emergency rescue training as an extracurricular program, those who responded affirmatively to the questions were evaluated as significantly higher in their disaster coping scores. This study suggests that specific strategies can be taken and are needed to improve the ability to cope with disasters in students who are studying emergency rescue.

In this study, the problems in the domestic disaster management system were identified through the examination of the system, relevant implications were drawn through the present status of domestic integrated disaster management system, and the consciousness survey for the integrated disaster management system targeting fire-fighting officers in the front line of the disaster was carried out to identify the measures to improve the system. Based on the findings, the measures to establish and revitalize the integrated disaster management system was presented, and the contents of the measures are as follows. In order to establish and revitalize the integrated disaster management system, the following measures should be prepared for each item. In the organizational aspect, the coordination system between government agencies should be established properly and the relevant information should he shared and delivered smoothly. In the legal and institutional aspect, the improvement is required to prevent any miscommunications in the coordination and joint operation plan through the collaboration between government agencies should be established in consideration of characteristics of each government agency. Also, in the aspect of system, the equipment should be maintained and updated continuously in order to respond to rapidly changing disasters and the organization, laws, institutions and system should be improved systematically and harmoniously. And, the detailed measures appropriate for the characteristics of domestic disasters should be prepared through the examination of advantages and disadvantages of integrated disaster management system in advanced countries in details and the detailed plans for the establishment of integrated situation management system in relevant organizations and the unification of situation room through the establishment of efficient integrated management system should be established.

There are many institutes which manage the disaster protection resources in their system. The system of the institutes is not mutually compatible, because there is no standard framework of the classification and identification for the disaster management resources. NIMS of FEMA defines the classification and identification framework for the incident resources. All incidents management system of USA including IRIS and webEOC follows the standard resources framework. The aim of the classification and identification of the resources provides the resources list for the disaster and supports to find the resources information efficiently. In this study, we defined the classification and identification of the resources considering the compatibility with the international standard and the field requirements.

Due to the increase in awareness of school safety after the Sewol ferry disaster, it became necessary to improve the capability to prevent a safety accident at school and to respond to an accident in the case of emergency as well as the awareness of safety issues. Therefore, it is necessary for educational institutions to reinforce safety measures autonomously, and the importance of supports and cooperation from agencies related to the safety of local community is also emphasized. However, it is quite difficult for schools and the Office of Education to prevent safety accidents only with their own capability, and safety accidents can be prevented through the supports from agencies involved in safety of local communities. Therefore, the status and cooperation system of educational institutions and relevant authorities were reviewed theoretically in this study. In addition, a field investigation was carried out to examine the awareness of disaster and safety, and cooperation status of officials in charge of practical disaster-related works. Moreover, this study intended to present a measure to establish the safety cooperation system between educational institutions and agencies involved in safety of local community in the future based on the findings.

The annual increase in chemical accidents is causing damage to life and the environment due to the spread and residual of substances. Environmental damage investigation is more difficult to determine the geographical scope and timing than human damage investigation. Considering the reality that there is a lack of professional investigation personnel, it is urgent to develop an efficient quantitative evaluation method. In order to improve this situation, this paper conducted a chemical accidents investigation using unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) equipped with various sensors. The damaged area was calculated by Ortho-image and strength of agreement was calculated using the normalized difference vegetation index image. As a result, the Cohen's Kappa coefficient was 0.649 (threshold 0.7). However, there is a limitation in that analysis has been performed based on the pixel of the normalized difference vegetation index. Therefore, there is a need for a chemical accident investigation plan that overcomes the limitations.

In order to foster rapid disaster response and public life protection, National Emergency Management Agency has been trying to spread 'Emergency Rescue Standard System' on a national scale since 2006. The agency has also intensified management of firefighter's safety on disaster site by implementing danger predication training, specialized training and education and safety procedure check as a part of safety management officer duties. Nevertheless, there are limitations for effective fire fighting steps, such as damage spreading and life damage due to unawareness of illegal converted structure, structure transformation by high temperature and nearby hazardous material storage as well as extemporary situation handling endangered firefighter's life. In order to eliminate these limitations there is a need for an effort and technology application to minimize human errors such as inaccurate situational awareness, wrong decision built on experience and judgment of field commander and firefighters. The purpose of this study is to propose a new disaster response model which is applied with geospatial information. we executed spatial contextual awareness map analysis using fire-fighting vulnerable zone model to propose the new disaster response model and also examined a case study for Dalseo-gu in Daegu Metropolitan City. Finally, we also suggested operational concept of new proposed model on a national scale.
