Domestic industrial accidents continue to increase, with 2,142 deaths in 2018, up by 185 (9.5%) from 1,957 deaths in 2017. Industrial accidents that cause loss of human lives pose a serious risk to businesses because of the strengthening of safety regulations and the changing public perception of social responsibility. Accordingly, to prevent industrial accidents, companies regularly conduct onsite safety activities and conduct education and training to raise awareness among employees. However, many such corporate activities are not conducted voluntarily and practically by employees but mostly by formal implementation. To discontinue this customary and passive behavior of employees and establish a mature safety culture, strengthening the execution power of safety management at the site is of paramount importance, and to this end, we aim to utilize the safety practice index (SPI). In this study, the SPI calculated on the basis of the results of the 2018 and 2019 risk management and safety activities of a site was compared with the reported safety accidents. The results confirmed that the SPI index can be used as a valid indicator for safety activities for accident prevention, such as strengthening leadership and safety policies to grade and manage safety management levels for a certain period of time or by a department or to convert weaknesses into strengths.

It is necessary to dynamic recognition system with real time loading height and pressure of the loading waste, the drying of wood, batteries, and plastic wastes, which are representative compositional wastes, and the carbonization changes on the surface. The dynamic context awareness service constituted a platform based on Universal Middleware system using BCN convergence communication service as a Ambient SDK model. A context awareness system should be constructed to determine the cause of the fire based on the analysis data of fermentation heat point with natural ignition from the load waste. Furthermore, a real-time dynamic service platform that could be apply to the configuration of scenarios for each type from early warning fire should be built using Universal Middleware. Thus, this issue for Internet of Things realize recognition platform for analyzing low temperature fired fire possibility data should be dynamically configured and presented.

In early 2011, the Fukushima nuclear power plant had greater damage due to earthquake in Japan, and the awareness of safety has increased. In particular, special response systems should be required to handle disaster situations in plant sites which are likely to occur for large disasters. In this study, a program is designed to set up optimum escape routes, by a smart phone application, when a disaster situation occurs. This program could get information of the cumulative damage from sensors and display the escape route of the smallest damage in real-time on the screen. Utilizing our application in real-time evacuation has advantage in reducing cumulative damage. The optimal evacuation route, focusing on horizontal path, is calculated based on getting the data of fire, detected radioactivity and hazardous gas. Thus, using our application provides information of optimal evacuation to people who even can not hear sensor alarms or do not know geography, without requiring additional costs except fixed sensors or server network deployment cost. As a result, being informed of real-time escape route, the user could behave rapidly with suitable response to individual situation resulting in improved evacuation than simply reacting to existing warning alarms.

본 연구에서는 연령증가에 따라 운전에 필요한 신체적, 인지적 능력의 변화가 어떻게 나타나는지 설문을 통해 분석하고, 이것이 교통안전 시설물(신호기, 노면표시, 도로표지판)의 필요성 및 적정성을 평가하는 것과 어떤 관계가 있는 지 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 20세 이상 운전면허 소지자를 대상으로 5개 권역, 500명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 이를 분석하였다. 운전능력에 대한 자기평가 점수는 종합적 능력, 개별능력(시력, 청력, 색채식별 등) 모두 연령이 증가함에 따라 점수가 낮아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 시력은 연령증가에 따른 감소폭이 크고, 절대적인 평균점수가 다른 항목에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 시력의 경우 타 신체적, 인지적 능력에 비해 운전 중 기능의 저하에 따른 체감도가 크기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 설문결과에 따른 분류분석을 통해서는 신체적, 인지적 기능의 저하가 시작되는 연령이 기존의 고령운전자로 판단하는 65세 보다 낮은 48세로 분석되었다. 이것은 연령증가에 따른 기능 저하로 인한 영향을 받는 운전자가 그렇지 않은 운전자보다 더 많다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 시설물에 대한 필요성 인식에 대한 평가 역시 운전능력에서 차이를 나타내는 연령대에서 인식의 차이가 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

In recent years, the frequency of fires in college dormitories has been increasing, primarily due to outdated electrical wiring and improper use of electrical appliances. Given the high population density in such buildings, fires can cause significant damage to life and property. To better understand the dynamics of dormitory fires, this study uses Pyrosim fire simulation software to model fire scenarios in a six-story male dormitory. The study focuses on analyzing key factors such as heat release rates, smoke spread, temperature changes, and carbon monoxide concentrations during a fire. Simulation results indicate that smoke spreads rapidly after a fire breaks out, significantly reducing visibility and hindering evacuation efforts. Simultaneously, temperatures near the fire source rise quickly, exceeding safe levels, and carbon monoxide concentrations reach dangerous thresholds in a short time, greatly increasing the risk of poisoning. Based on these findings, the study proposes several recommendations to improve fire prevention in dormitories, including installing smoke barriers, improving evacuation routes, adding mechanical smoke extraction systems, and enhancing students' fire safety awareness and skills through regular training. These measures are crucial for reducing fire risks and enhancing fire safety in college dormitories.

Purpose: This study collects basic data on the awareness of evacuation methods and evacuation facilities in the event of a radiological disaster of residents living in the emergency planning zone. Method: The residents of emergency planning zone were sampled using a random sampling method. A 1:1 interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed using the minitab program. Result: First, the survey subjects showed a relatively low and negative awareness of the local government's work on radioactive disasters. Second, in terms of resident safety education, they had little experience in education, but they felt it was necessary and wanted education on evacuation methods, action tips, and the location of relief centers. Third, the location of the relief centers related to radioactive disasters was not well known, and there were many responses that they did not receive any guidance, and that they would be with their families when using the relief centers. Satisfaction levels were generally low with regard to the relief facilities. Fourth, the necessary priorities in preparation for radioactive disasters were education and training for radioactive disasters, facility supplementation, and supply of protective chemicals. Conclusion: The residents of emergency planning zone perceived the policies and tasks of the government or local governments relatively negatively in preparation for the occurrence of radioactive disasters, and their satisfaction was low. Regarding the matters pointed out as a priority, the government and local governments should publicize and educate the residents of accurate information and policies on radioactive disasters.

This study suggests a solution regarding the effects of apartment facility maintenance and fire safety facility maintenance on the residential satisfaction of residents. The results are as follows. Firstly, facility maintenance had a negative effect on residential satisfaction. Analysis revealed that residential satisfaction decreased the more breakdowns there were in the facilities. This revealed that when maintenance staff neglect the residents' complaints due to the repetitive aspect of their jobs, there was a negative effect on residential satisfaction; therefore, residential satisfaction must be increased by maintaining the facilities well and training support for maintenance staff. Secondly, fire safety facilities had a negative effect on residential satisfaction. Analysis revealed that residential satisfaction decreased the more malfunctions there were in the fire safety facilities and the more replacements there were in fire fighting equipment. This revealed the importance of safety and the fact that the apartment heavily relies on fire safety facilities because there may be a low awareness regarding safety; therefore, maintenance staff must lower the damage from fire safety facilities and to increase the residential satisafaction of residents. Lastly, there needs to be repetitive training and education for residents regarding fire fighting and evacuating in accordance with the fire fighting plan as a means to strengthen residents' safety awareness.
