Korea's elevator industry is one of the world's eighth-largest industrial sectors and the third largest in the world by new installations. This year, the number of elevators has exceeded 700,000, and the number of new installations is 30,000-40,000 every year. However, the news of elevator-related accidents is reported continuously through the media and the accident rate is not decreasing. In particular, among the recent accidents related to elevators, accidents related to elevator workers are increasing, causing social problems. This year, the National Assembly's Environmental Labor Relations Commission's National Auditors lost five lives a year and 12 elevator workers were killed in fall and stenosis accidents during the installation, maintenance and replacement of the elevators for about two years since 2018. It took place to adopt the representatives of four domestic elevator companies as witnesses. An elevator worker is a collective term for workers involved in the design, manufacturing, installation, replacement, maintenance, inspection, management, and supervision related to the elevator industry, and the related accidents are called elevator worker accidents. Analysis of elevator-related accidents in the past has shown that the fault of the user accounted for 70% of the total, and the fault of the worker accounted for about 2.5%, and the accident occurred to the user or the user due to carelessness of the worker during the lift-related work. Currently, elevator-related accidents are reported by the Korea Elevator Safety Agency under Article 48 of the Elevator Safety Management Act under the Ministry of Interior and Safety. If deemed necessary for the prevention and prevention of recurrence of an elevator accident, the cause and condition of the elevator accident may be investigated. However, the current draft law is limited only to elevators after installation inspection, and is separated from the Ministry of Employment and Labor's data on accidents occurring in the manufacturing and installation stages related to the elevator industry. This study analyzes the recent safety accidents of elevator workers and prepares safety measures to prevent them through the risk analysis, and also draws out the problems and improvements of the current elevator worker accident investigation to find the elevator worker accident rate that is on the increase trend.

2006년 9월 국무조정실이 수립한 교통사고 잦은 곳 개선 종합대책에 의하면 전방신호기 설치가 교차로 교통사고에 괄목할만한 효과라고 판단하여, 교통사고 잦은 곳 개선사업에 우선적으로 전방신호등을 설치를 권장하고 있다. 하지만 전방 신호등의 효과에 대한 검증 없이 국무조정실이 수립한 종합대책을 토대로 전방신호등 개선사업을 시행한다면 오히려 교통안전측면에서 더 큰 시행착오를 범할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 전방신호등의 설치가 과연 얼마만큼의 효과가 있는지, 또한 전방신호기의 설치에 따른 교통사고 유형의 변화 및 전방신호기의 설치가 적합한 교차로 유형에 대한 분석결과를 제시하고자한다. 이를 위해 Hauer가 개발한 비교그룹방법(Comparison-Group, C.G Method)을 활용하여 분석한 결과, 전방신호등 설치로 인한 전체 교통사고 감소효과에는 긍정적인 결과로 나타났으나 교차로의 규모별, 교통사고 유형별 효과분석에서는 각기 상이한 결과를 나타내기도 하였다. 소규모 교차로에서는 교통사고 유형별로 모두 전방신호등 설치로 인한 감소효과가 나타났지만, 대규모 교차로의 경우 정면충돌 및 측면직각 교통사고 유형에서는 오히려 전방신호등 설치로 인하여 교통사고가 증가하여 교통안전측면에서는 부정적인 결과를 초래하였다. 따라서 대규모 교차로에 전방신호기를 설치 할 경우에는 교통운영 및 교통시설, Human Factor 등 다각적인 측면에 대한 개선안을 신중하게 고려하여 시행 할 것을 권장하는 바이다.

Railway is one of popular transportation systems. Due to the safety and in time, the transportation by train is preferred to the others for a long time. However, accidents under railway construction get more serious problems than in case of the other system, because it is the largest mass transportation system. Especially, the railway construction is composed of different kinds of construction works such as civil, architect, electric and mechanic. It is closely/complicatedly connected with various workers, large machines and facilities, regulations etc. In this study the data on safety accidents are corrected during 6 years(2004~2009) and analyzed by time(year, month, week, day, a.m or p.m), place, field, type etc. Results shows that there exists remakable trends on accidents, so efficient treatments should be prepared considering this trend.

Most of studies on aircraft accidents have been conducted mainly for fixed-wing aircraft, while the studies on helicopter accidents have been done less even though the helicopter accidents occurred quite more than those of the fixed-wing. There are lots of differences between helicopter and fixed-wing accidents, in aspect of causes and occurrence of accidents as well as aerodynamics and operation. In Korea, helicopter accidents have occurred 2 or 3 times annually since 2000, while the number of fixed-wing aircraft accidents has been reduced considerably. The goal of this study is to solve the present safety problems in helicopter accidents by reviewing the characteristics of past accidents and comparing differences between two types of aircraft.

It has been about 5 years since the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, which contaminated large area with radioactive materials. It is necessary to assess radiation dose to establish evacuation areas and to set decontamination goal for the large contaminated area. In this study, we assessed temporal trend of radiation dose to the public living in the large area contaminated with radioactive materials after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. The dose assessment was performed based on Chernobyl model and RESRAD model for two evacuation lift areas, Kawauchi and Naraha. It was reported that deposition densities in the areas were $4.3{\sim}96kBq\;m^{-2}$ for $^{134}Cs$, $1.4{\sim}300kBq\;m^{-2}$ for $^{137}Cs$, respectively. Radiation dose to the residents depended on radioactive cesium concentrations in the soil, ranging $0.11{\sim}2.4mSv\;y^{-1}$ at Kawauchi area and $0.69{\sim}1.1mSv\;y^{-1}$ at Naraha area in July 2014. The difference was less than 5% in radiation doses estimated by two different models. Radiation dose decreased with calendar time and the decreasing slope varied depending on dose assessment models. Based on the Chernobyl dosimetry model, radiation doses decreased with calendar time to about 65% level of the radiation dose in 2014 after 1 year, 11% level after 10 years, and 5.6% level after 30 years. RESRAD dosimetry model more slowly decreased radiation dose with time to about 85% level after 1 year, 40% level after 10 years, and 15% level after 30 years. The decrease of radiation dose can be mainly attributed into radioactive decays and environmental transport of the radioactive cesium. Only environmental transports of radioactive cesium without consideration of radioactive decays decreased radiation dose additionally 43% after 1 year, 72% after 3 years, 80% after 10 years, and 83% after 30 years. Radiation doses estimated with cesium concentration in the soil based on Chernobyl dosimetry model were compared with directly measured radiation doses. The estimated doses well agreed with the measurement data. This study results can be applied to radiation dose assessments at the contaminated area for radiation safety assurance or emergency preparedness.

Objective: Dual-task walking deficits impact functional daily life, which often requires walking while performing simultaneous tasks such as talking, thinking or carrying an object. This study is to find out the latest trend of dual-task training's influence on ambulatory abilities of a stroke patient. Design: Systematic review of randomized controlled trials. Methods: This literature review was conducted in Pubmed and Sciencedirect with the follwing key words:stroke, cerebro-vascular accident, hemiplegia, gait, rehabilitation, exercise. 7 studies were chosen in findings by search tool. 3 studies were case study, 3 studies were cross sectional observational study and 1 study was randomized controlled trial. Results: It was found that stroke patients have difficulties in doing 2 motor tasks simultaneously and when they do 2 tasks, one is done in a naturally preferred activity areas. Moreover, when simply applying dual-tasks, the walking speed decreased. Meanwhile, when applying them through training, the speed increased. This showed the improvement of effective task-implementation abilities after dual-task training using task-integration models. Conclusions: In the beginning of the 2000s, dual-tasks were implemented by simply combining walking and cognition or exercise task, and the results of this study suggest that subjects with stroke have difficulty performing dual task. However, the latest trend is to let patients do the dual-task training by combining it with virtual reality. Therefore, dual task training could be performed in a safe in the environment such as virtual reality or augment reality.

본 연구는 운수업체에 대한 안전관리 시행에 따른 교통사고 감소효과 분석을 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해 운수업체에 대한 안전관리 시행 전 후 비교 및 비교대상그룹과의 교통사고지수 변화량의 차이를 분석하였고, 안전관리를 통한 순수한 시행효과 분석을 위해 운수업체의 교통사고 사고지수 변화 트렌드 및 평균회귀량을 산출하여 제거해주는 방법을 이용하였다. 본 연구결과를 종합해 보면, 운수업체에 대한 안전관리는 전반적으로 운수업체의 교통사고예방에 기여효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 효과는 안전관리 강도별, 운수업체 규모별로는 차이가 있는 반면 업종별로는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았고, 이들 조합에 따른 상호간 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 운수업체에 대한 안전관리의 효율성을 높이기 위해서는 안전관리방식의 동일한 적용이 아닌 업체규모와 연계한 안전관리방식의 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
