The purpose of this study is to reduce the anxiety factors of fires by following evacuation tips in case of fire in an apartment household. This study analyzed the moderating effects of the control offices' competence in control on safety awareness and fire response. The study results were as follows. First, the residents and control staff's safety awareness had a positive effect on the fire response performance. This indicates that the higher the residents and control staff's safety awareness level, the higher the fire responsive performance. Second, the higher the control offices' control competence level, the better the apartment residents and control staff's safety awareness had a positive effect on the fire response performance. These results indicate that the higher the control office heads' leadership, the higher the apartment residents' housing satisfaction and that the more communicative the control office heads' attitude toward the residents, the better their attitude had a positive effect on the fire response performance. Lastly, the control offices' control competence was analyzed to have a moderating effects on the effect of the apartment residents and control staff's safety awareness level on the fire response performance. These results showed that the change in the model's R² value showed an increasing trend in stages as the value increased more in the stage 2 than the stage 1 and even more in the stage 3 with the interaction terms of the moderating variables added. For this reason, the control offices' control competence which was a moderating variable was analyzed to have a moderating effect on the effect of residents and control staff's safety awareness level on the fire response performance.

On the basis of the guideline "2012-104(2012.9.26.)" notified by the ministry of employment and labor, this paper provided the baseline data and the improvement proposal in applying risk assessment to a construction site by group interview & survey of construction workers. The worker's awareness and action plan of safety and health were investigated by numerical analysis. From the result of group interview and the survey of construction workers, it was found that most of construction workers feel the danger during the work. The results also shows that risk assessment can help to change & raise the awareness of safety and to reduce the industrial disaster. In addition, simple safety management activity such as TBM & active education of safety will be necessary for safe workspace and the active TBT(tool box talk) which combines TBM & the education of safety will be also effective.

The user's context awareness is important to the reliability of sensors data. The sensor data is constantly change to external temp, internal& external environment and vibration. This noise environment is affecting that the data collected information from sensors. Of course this method of digital filter and inference algorithm specifically request for the use of ripple noise and action inference. In this paper, experiment was a comparison of the KF(Kalman Filter) and WMAF(Weight Moving Average Filter) for noise decrease and distortion prevention according to user behavior. And, we compared the EWDF(Extended Weight Dual Filter) with several filer. In an experiment, in contrast to other filter, the proposed filter is robust in a noise-environment.

Background: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are often the main pillar of an economy. Minor accidents, ergonomics problems, old and outdated machinery, and lack of awareness have created a need for implementation of safety practices in SMEs. Implementation of healthy working conditions creates positive impacts on economic and social development. Methods: In this study, a questionnaire was developed and administered to 30 randomly chosen SMEs in and around Mumbai, Maharashtra, and other states in India to evaluate safety practices implemented in their facilities. The study also looked into the barriers and drivers for technology innovation and suggestions were also received from the respondent SMEs for best practices on safety issues. Results: In some SMEs, risks associated with safety issues were increased whereas risks were decreased in others. Safety management practices are inadequate in most SMEs. Market competitiveness, better efficiency, less risk, and stringent laws were found to be most significant drivers; and financial constraints, lack of awareness, resistance to change, and lack of training for employees were found to be main barriers. Conclusion: Competition between SMEs was found to be major reason for implementation of safety practices in the SMEs. The major contribution of the study has been awareness building on safety issues in the SMEs that participated in the project.
