Since last year, the government has enforced the 'Act on the Punishment of Severe Accidents, Etc.' (hereafter referred to as the 'Serious Accident Punishment Act'), which punishes business owners and business managers who fail to fulfill their duty of safety measures with 'imprisonment of one year or more' and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Based on this, various occupational safety and health policies were developed, including the operation of a system related to entrusting the work of safety managers. Despite these efforts, the effect of implementing the Severe Accident Punishment Act is a groundbreaking change in the current disaster prevention policy, which has increased by 0.02%P and 0.03‱P, respectively, from the previous year to 0.65% of the total accident rate and 1.10‱ of the death rate per 10,000 people as of 2022. As the need emerged, attention was paid to 'collaboration and governance with safety management institutions' in the 'Severe Disaster Reduction Roadmap' announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in November 2022. In this study, a meaningful result was derived by comparing and analyzing the industrial accident status of workplaces entrusted by "A" safety management institutions with the national average based on the industrial accident survey table, and the types of industrial accidents that occurred in consigned workplaces were selected as intensive management targets. The policy direction for industrial accident prevention was established. It is necessary to develop safety management work manuals based on the results of this study, expertise, discover best cases of risk assessment and develop guides, and educate and train consigned workers. In addition, it suggests that the government's guidance and supervision are needed to advance the professionalism of safety management entrusted tasks, and that safety management institutions should strengthen their roles and functions for preventing and reducing industrial accidents. However, due to difficulties in disclosing information of specialized safety management institutions, the limitation of the provision, collection, and viewing of research-related data to "A" specialized safety management institutions remains a limitation of the research. It seems likely that more thorough research will be conducted.

Although most natural disaster related studies conducted in Korea recently have been related to typhoons or severe rainstorms, the occurrence frequency of disasters due to windstorms or rainstorms is also high. To reduce the strong wind damage caused by strong windstorms due to climate change, basic studies of strong winds are necessary. Therefore, in this study, the types and representative cases of windstorms that were observed to have been higher than 14 m/s, which is the criterion for strong-wind warnings from the Korea Meteorological Administration, were selected from among those windstorm cases that occurred on the Korean Peninsula for 10 years to conduct a statistical analysis of them and determine their synoptic meteorological characteristics. The cases of windstorms occurring on the Korean Peninsula were divided into six weather patterns according to the locations of the anticyclones/cyclones. Among these types, the SH type, which occurs when Siberian Highs expand into the Korean Peninsula, showed the highest occurrence frequency, accounting for at least the majority of the entire occurrence frequency of windstorms together with that of the EC type, which occurs when cyclones develop on the East Sea, and there was no clear yearly trend of the occurrence frequencies of windstorms. The monthly occurrence frequencies of windstorms were formed mainly by typhoons in the summer and the Siberian Highs in the winter, and the months with the highest windstorm occurrence frequencies were December and January, in which mainly the SH and EC type windstorms occurred. March showed the next highest occurrence frequency with10 times, and SH windstorms occurred the most frequently in March, followed by the CC, SC, and EC types of windstorms, in order of precedence. Therefore, attention to these types of windstorms is required. Countermeasures against storm and flood damage in Korea targeting the summer should be re-reviewed together with pre-disaster prevention plans, because cases of storm and flood damage due to windstorms occur more frequently than those due to typhoons, and they occur throughout the year.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a part of our lives now and we have no more effective way of coping than a vaccine. COVID-19 is a disease that causes severe thrombosis outside the respiratory tract. Vaccines also protect us in this respect, but in some rare cases, thrombosis has been found to develop after vaccination (much less frequently than COVID-19). What was interesting in our case was that it showed how a disaster could happen under three factors that predispose to thrombosis. A 65-year-old female patient with disseminated atherosclerosis was admitted to the intensive care unit with complaints of dyspnea and dysphasia. In the evening of the day, the patient had the vaccination 2 weeks ago, she had active COVID-19. On examination, lower extremity pulses could not be detected. The patient's imaging and blood tests were performed. Multiple complications such as embolic stroke, venous and arterial thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and pericarditis were observed in the patient. This case may give consideration to anticoagulant therapy studies. We give effective anticoagulant therapy in the presence of COVID-19 in patients at risk of thrombosis. Can anticoagulant therapy be considered after vaccination in patients at risk of thrombosis such as disseminated atherosclerosis?

The objective of this study was to conduct research and analysis using Group Focus Interview to survey the between construction site workers and managers implementing for the Severe Accident Punishment Act. Focused on measures to improve safety management effectiveness for the effectiveness of establishing a safety management system. A plan to improve the efficient safety management system was presented to 50 construction industrial managers and workers. In order to ensure the industrial accident prevention policies appropriately, it is necessary to be aware of safety obligations for workers as well as business operators. In addition, despite the existence of a commentary on the Serious Accident Punishment Act, confusion in the field still persists, so in the event of a major accidents, the obligation to take safety and health education is strengthened, and effective case education is proposed by teaching actual accident cases suitable for actual working sites. It is necessary to make all training mandatory, and it is necessary to reconsider awareness through writing a daily safety log, awareness of risk factors, etc., and writing down risk information. Above all, at the construction ordering stage, it is necessary to keep the construction safety, request corrections and supplements for problems issues that arise, and consult between the orderer and the construction company about the problems issues. Rather than having only the construction company correct or supplement the safety management plan, the contents should be shared with supervisors and workers to establish a more practical solution. Results of this study will contribute to improving the effectiveness of the serious accident and construction safety management system.

본 연구에서는 현장 주입 시험 및 3차원 수치모델을 이용하여 상류 소분지에서의 수직정을 이용한 지하수 인공함양 효과를 예비 평가하였다. 현장 주입 시험의 주입량, 지하수위 및 입도 분석 자료에 의한 수리전도도 등을 이용하여 모델의 공당 주입량을 20, 37.5, 60, 75 ㎥/day로 설정하였으며, 주입 간격에 따른 총 28개의 경우에 대하여 MODFLOW를 활용한 수치모델을 실시하여 지하수위 및 물수지 변화를 분석하였다. 주입 후 주변 관측정에서의 지하수위 상승이 공당 주입량과 비례적인 선형 관계를 보이진 않았으며, 주입 간격이 길어지면 누적 효과가 감소하여 최대 수위상승 시기가 짧아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 4가지 경우의 공당 주입량을 매일 연속으로 주입하여 총량 1,200 ㎥을 주입할 경우, 주입량 대비 36.5~65.3%의 함양 효과가 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 장기간의 가뭄에 대응하고 보다 지속적인 양수를 위해서는 차수벽 등 지하수 저류시설을 병행한다면 보다 효과적일 것으로 보이며, 추후 주입 시설의 최적화 및 함양-취수의 시나리오 확보를 통하여 안정적인 인공함양 시스템 구축이 가능할 것이다.

When a severe disaster such as a building collapse occurs, a first priority for rapid rescue is to find a location where people are highly expected to be buried but alive. It is, however, very difficult to correctly designate the location of such cavities by conventional geophysical survey due to a pile of debris of building members. In this study, location of possible lifeguard cavities were evaluated through a series of simulations of building collapse by explosion depending on the height of the building, a structure of basement floor and a location of explosion. Three types of building structure: five-story, ten-story and fifteen-story were prepared as a model for the simulation. As a results, in the case of low building, only basement floor partially collapsed. On the other hand, in the case of high building, a collapsed range on the inside of the building increased and lifeguard spaces were formed only in the lateral side or corner of the building. In addition, when a wall exists in the basement floor, the possibility that cavities could be formed increased compared to the cases without wall. However, for the fifteen-story building case, no possible lifeguard cavity was found. It is noted that for a high rise building, the height of building more affect forming of safeguard cavity than the structure of the basement floor.

Objectives: This study was conducted to prevent asphyxiation of firefighters during confined space rescue. The specific purpose was to identify the magnitude of the problem, identify the cause of the accidents, and suggest measures to ensure safety of confined space rescues. Methods: We collected data from National Fallen Firefighters Memorial, press releases, and other sources In order to identify the current situation of asphyxiation incidents among firefighters from 1945 to 2019. In addition, an incident investigation was conducted for each case, and the processes, causes, and control measures of the incidents were described as a narrative data entry. Results: Over the past 73 years, eight incidents involving firefighter in Korea have occurred. In these incidents, five firefighters were killed, and eight were injured. The confined spaces incidents occurred were water supply tanks, wastewater treatment tanks, pickling pits, septic tanks, and more. The causes were three cases of hydrogen sulfide poisoning, one of oxygen deficiency, one of carbon monoxide poisoning, and three unclassifiable asphyxiations. The people in need were all workers in various industries. Conclusions: The number of firefighters' deaths and injuries during rescues in confined spaces was severe and the risks have not been completely eliminated. By establishing and implementing a precise incident investigation system, according control measures should be initiatedin order to prevent a recurrence of the same type of disaster and reflected in the SOP. In particular, due to the high risk of occurrence at workplaces, cooperation between fire and rescue authority and relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the KOSHA should be strengthened.

국소배기장치를 설치하려는 경우 환경부 허가를 받더라도 고용노동부 허가를 새로 받아야 한다. 이는 대기환경보전법 뿐만 아니라 산업안전보건법 제48조2에 따른 제조업 유해위험방지계획서를 착공 15일 전까지 제출하도록 되어 있기 때문이다. 현행 환경부 대기환경보전법에서는 국소배기장치의 오염원을 대기 중으로 배출되는 부분만 규제하고 산업현장 내에서의 근로자 안전보건에 관한 내용은 산업안전보건법 등 고용노동부 소관 법률로 관리된다. 환경부의 승인을 받은 것임에도 고용노동부의 불승인 사례가 증가하여 생산지연 및 추가 개선비용에 따른 사업장의 불만이 커지고 있다. 또한, 화재 폭발의 위험성이 큰 국소배기장치의 경우 화재 폭발에 의한 중대산업사고 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 원인은 배풍량, 제어속도, 반송속도, 덕트구경, 화재폭발 위험성 등의 설계가 미흡했기 때문이다. 이는 국소배기장치 승인기준 및 절차는 대동소이 하나 산업안전보건법에서 근로자의 안전보건 및 화재 폭발에 대한 심사항목이 추가되어 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 환경부와 고용노동부에서 이원화 되어 있는 국소배기장치 설치 승인기준을 비교 분석하여 합리적인 제도운영 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

골든타임의 확보 방안으로 충북 청주시에서 시행하는 긴급차 우선신호체계 운영 결과를 분석하였다. 화재현장에 도착하기까지 도로상의 극심한 교통정체, 긴급차 앞으로 끼어드는 차량, 긴급차 길터주기에 비협조적인 차량 등 출동 중에 나타나는 장애요인들은 심각한 상태이다. 이와 같은 도로상의 장애문제를 해결하기 위하여 긴급차 우선신호체계를 도입하는 것은 반드시 필요하다. 2017년 4월부터 2018년 6월까지(1년 2개월, 426일) 출동시간과 날짜, 긴급차의 이동거리와 시간, 교통신호 통제구간과 통과시간, 단축시간 등을 측정하였다. 293개의 출동회수 중 교통이 혼잡하고 출동이 잦은 5개의 구간에서 140개의 선택하였다. 교통신호시스템을 통제한 결과는 놀라웠다. 총괄적으로 신호를 통제하지 않을 때에는 1 km를 주행하는데 3 min 3 s가 결렸지만 신호를 통제하여 긴급차를 우선통행하도록 하는 경우에는 1 km를 1 min 23 s에 주행하여 처음의 45.4% 밖에 걸리지 않았다. 즉 15 min 걸리던 주행시간을 6 min 49 s로 줄인 것이다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 긴급차 우선신호시스템은 가능한 한 빨리 전국적으로 실시하여야 할 것이다.
