  • 전세계뿐만 아니라 대한민국 정부에서도 저탄소 녹색성장을 실현하기 위해 노력하고 있으며, 그 방안의 하나로 자전거 수송분담율을 높이기 위하여 자전거도로와 자전거 편의시설 등을 확충하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 자전거 이용자들이 많이 증가하고 있는데 반면에 자전거 교통사고도 급증하는 추세이다. 자전거 교통사고 자료는 경찰청에서 발간하는 연감자료가 유일하나, 이 자료는 사고의 빈도수를 이차원 분할표 형태로 제공하고 있기때문에 일반인들이 이 자료를 통하여 사고의 성격과 위험율에 대하여 파악하고 이해하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자전거사고 자료를 확률로 표현하고 자전거 인구와 자동차 등록대수 자료와 결합하여 자전거사고의 특징을 분석하고 파악한다. 또한 조건부 독립이라는 가정 하에 현실세계의 현상에서 자전거사고 발생확률을 구하는 방법을 제안하고, 이 방법을 활용하여 자전거사고를 줄일 수 있는 방안에 대해 논의한다.

  • Construction activities are characterized as hazardous work. Therefore, it is very imperative to explore comprehensively fatal accidents and safety performance in both developed and developing countries. The goal of this study was to look at the reasons behind fatal accidents in HCMC, Vietnam's largest city. The survey sample consists of 91 fatal accident cases in total that occurred in construction sites during the years 1996-2005 and were reported to the Department of Labor-Invalids-Social Affairs in HCMC. The study was conducted by means of field surveys with relevant individuals working in construction sites and statistical analyses. The research resulted in failing to wear/use PPE as unsafe acts and in poor safety management procedures/methods in sites as insecurely working conditions behind serious accidents in the construction. The paper stresses that accidents tended to occur more in state-owned companies than in others and involved more with masonry/welding people and workers without labor contracts than with other workers.

  • Background: Occupational accidents occur for a variety of reasons, such as unsafe behaviors of workers and insufficient safety equipment at the workplace, but there are also various economic and social factors that can impact working conditions and working environment. This study analyzed the relationship between changes in economic factors and the occurrence of occupational accidents in Korea. Methods: Multilinear regression analysis was used as the analysis model. The general to specific method was also used, which consecutively removes statistically insignificant variables from a general model that includes dependent variables and lagged variables of dependent variables. Results: The frequency of occupational accidents was found to have a statistically significant relationship to economic indicators. The monthly number of cases of occupational injury and disease and fatal occupational injuries were found to be closely related to manufacturing capacity utilization, differences in the production index in the services sector, and commencements of building construction. The increase in equipment investment indicators was found to reduce fatal occupational injuries. Conclusion: The results of this study may be used to develop occupational accident trends or leading indicators, which in turn can be used by organizations that manage and monitor occupational accidents toward taking administrative action designed to reduce occupational accidents. The results also imply that short-term and mid- to long-term economic and social changes that can impact workers, workplaces and working conditions, and workplace organizations must be taken into account if more effective government policies are to be established and implemented toward further prevention of occupational accidents.

  • Safety accidents, which are called industrial accidents in construction work, are often caused by unstable physical and personal conditions combined during preparation and execution of work. It is difficult to manage all the construction works, but especially in the field of apartment construction work, complex and many kinds of works are being carried out at the same time. In the current construction, safety regulations such as safety management guidelines are generally well maintained, but the execution of manpower resources that can fulfill them is limited, and it is difficult to reduce the accident rate and loss cost. Therefore, in this study, it is a reality that most of the types of construction work are under contruction by subcontracting contract, so they are limit by methods of manual maintenance and safety education. Currently, the subcontractor is also allowed to perform safety management through the composition of the safety management review body, but it is operated formally. So alternatives to this were studied. As a result, safety accidents occur in the subcontractor's worker due to vertical integration, which is characteristic of the construction industry, together to the contractor, the safety management system is based on a safety construction system in which a worker who has a certain qualification condition such as career experience of the work type, work understanding of the work type, and management experience of the work type among the subcontractor, when we manage based on mutual personality which is the personality of interpersonal relationship that can communicate with each other by work type, process and grouping, it is concluded that effective and practical safety management can be achieved to reduce the accident rate and loss cost.

  • The Finnish risk assessment practice is based on the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act aiming to improve working conditions in order maintain the employees' work ability, and to prevent occupational accidents and diseases. In practice there are hundreds of risk assessment methods in use. A simple method is used in small and medium sized enterprises and more complex risk evaluation methods in larger work places. Does the risk management function in the work places in Finland? According to our experience something more is needed. That is, understanding of common and company related benefits of risk management. The wider conclusion is that commitment for risk assessment in Finland is high enough. However, in those enterprises where OSH management was at an acceptable level or above it, there were also more varied and more successfully accomplished actions to remove or reduce the risks than in enterprises, where OSH management was in lower level. In risk assessment it is important to process active technical prevention and exact communication, increase work place attraction and increase job satisfaction and motivation. Investments in OSH are also good business. Low absenteeism due to illness or accidents increases directly the production results by improved quality and quantity of the product. In general Finnish studies have consistently shown that the return of an invested euro is three to seven-old. In national level, according to our calculations the savings could be even 20% of our gross national product.

  • Frequent accidents occur when workers at construction sites leave the safety zone, and particularly in the past 5 years, 9 fatal accidents occurred at the Korea Railroad Corporation due to train accidents on other tracks during track work. With the Severe Accident Punishment Act taking effect in January 2022, it is a priority to secure a safe work environment for workers at industrial (construction) sites. Therefore, there is a need to manage workers' departure from the safety zone (construction zone) and to facilitate communication within the construction zone. In this study, a mobile edge computing CCTV system is proposed that uses geofencing to determine whether workers are working in the danger zone, which can judge and respond in real-time to the ever-changing field environment. The proposed system is mobile and flexible, rather than server-based fixed CCTV. However, since it is designed mainly based on images, it has limitations in recognition rate depending on the environment such as distance, viewing angle, and illumination. As a way to compensate for this, it is required to develop more reliable equipment by combining technologies such as LiDAR and Radar.

  • Almost all companies have paid much attention to the safety management ranging from maintenance to operation even at the stage of designing in order to prevent accidents, but fatal accidents continue to increase throughout the world. In particular, it is essential to systematically prevent such fatal accidents sa fire, explosion or leakage of toxic gas at factories in order to not only protect economic losses and environmental pollution. In addition, HRA may be used to detect the human errors which may cause accidents or trace back to any mistake on the part of workers. This work focuses on the coincidence of human error and mechanical failure for management of human error, and on some important performance shaping factors to propose a method for improving safety effectively of the process industries.

  • Almost all companies have paid much attention to the safety management ranging from maintenance to operation even at the stage of designing in order to prevent accidents, but fatal accidents continue to increase throughout the world. In particular, it is essential to systematically prevent such fatal accidents as fire, explosion or leakage of toxic gas at factories in order to not only protect the workers and neighbors but also prevent economic losses and environmental pollution. In addition, HRA may be used to detect the human errors which may cause accidents or trace back to any mistake on the part of workers. Usually, HRA technique is used in association with other risk assessment techniques. Moreover, it can serve to enumerate the human errors which may occur during operation or down-time or correct the existing system to reduce the mistakes. This work focuses on the coincidence of human error and mechanical failure for management of human error, and on some important performance shaping factors to propose a method for improving safety effectively of the process industries.

  • Workers maintaining at the railroad trackside may collide with the train since they cannot recognize the train approaching because of the sensory block phenomenon occurred due to their long hours of continued monotonous maintenance work. To reduce these casualty accidents of maintenance workers working at the trackside of railroad, we developed the wireless communication-based safety equipment for preventing accidents. The motor-cars for maintaining trackside facility have unique operational patterns suitable for urban environment. The several mechanism for developed safety equipment are represented in this paper.

  • 1998~2000년에 신규로 장해등급이 판정된 남성 산재근로자를 대상으로하여 산재보상 수급자 데이터베이스와 고용보험 피보험자 데이터베이스를 결합함으로써 취업력(labor history)을 재구성하였다. 이 자료에 기초한 분석 결과에 따르면, 먼저 원직장복귀가 산재근로자의 주요한 직장복귀 경로이며 고용유지에도 유효하였던 반면, 요양종결 이후의 취업자들은 상대적으로 높은 이직률을 보였다. 그리고 직장복귀자의 약 6할은 이직을 경험하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이직자 가운데 77%는 이전 직장의 취업기간이 1년 미만이었다. 한편 다중위험모형을 이용한 취업기간 분석에서 사업장 규모가 작을수록 그리고 비자발적 이직의 경우에는 직업탐색기간이 길수록 산재근로자의 취업기간이 짧아진다는 사실을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 요양종결 이후의 첫 직장에서 일자리를 유지하는 기간이 길수록 이후의 취업과 고용유지에도 긍정적인 효과를 보였다.
