The expressway construction work is being recently diversified even the working environments and the working kinds due to getting large scale, complexity, and high technology. The accidents are increasing according to large scale even in construction equipment and to a rise in high-ground work, thereby being required an effort of reducing accidents. However, it is insufficient in a means of coping with the technically safety management of using specific and scientific method. In order to prevent accident, a specific plan is needed that can apply each in variables to safety management by analyzing the accident types and accident factors with statistical method. Accordingly, this study carried out investigate on accidents for 12 years in the expressway construction work, and aimed to analyze characteristics on the accident type and conversion disaster-victim number according to factors with occurrence of accidents. Thus, the empirical analysis was performed. As a result of research, first, as a result of verifying significant difference with accident type by accident factor, the significant difference was shown between a cause for occurrence of accident and height with occurrence of accident. Second, among factors by period, the time with occurrence of accident was indicated to have significant difference from conversion disaster-victim number. Among factors by work condition, the cause for occurrence of accident, the height with occurrence of accident, and the type with occurrence of accident were indicated to have significant difference from conversion disaster-victim number. What suggested by analyzing characteristics in these factors and variables has important significance as a countermeasure for safety management.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is promoting the introduction of e-Navigation that prevents maritime accidents by fusion of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) with ship operation technology. In Korea, Korean e-Navigation is also being developed for fishing vessels and small vessels sailing offshore, which are vulnerable to maritime accidents. However, for the successful development of Korean e-Navigation, it is necessary to develop an indicator that can evaluate the development performance so that the development performance that has been progressed so far can be evaluated and the development direction can be re-established. Therefore, this study attempted to develop an evaluation index tailored to the development goal of e-Navigation service centering on the collision accident, which is a major maritime accident. In this study, a collision accident evaluation index for e-Navigation service was developed by deriving and quantifying the root cause of maritime collision accidents using Root cause analysis(RCA) and fault tree analysis (FTA) techniques. This indicator is considered to be helpful in reducing maritime accidents as it is used as a development indicator for e-Navigation and an indicator for maritime collision accident analysis.

The paper suggests to reclassify the casuality accidents types and causes at urban rail stations in the standardized code manner. In order to make standardized codes, 4,086 casuality accidents for Seoul Metro and Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Cooperation (SMRT) are analysed. The standardized code for casuality accident types includes 4 distinct factors; casuality object, casuality location and casuality pattern. Also, the standardized code for casuality accident causes includes 4 distinct factors: casuality trigger, drinking or not, first cause and second cause. This code is deemed to play a big role to link the same casuality accident types or causes which can be used in the process of railroad safety management and emergency response system.

Recently, the use of ESS facilities has been increased under the government's energy policy and at the same time, the various accident incidents such as fire and explosion occurred. Currently the ESS is installed as integrated ESS which includes PMS(: Power Management System), However, when the accident occurs, this system has high possibilities of losing the data due to oxidization, and the administrator cannot respond promptly. Therefore, in this paper, by constructing a separate WAS and data storage, it is possible to separate the main functions of the conventional system, to enable external EMS operation, and at the same time to quickly respond to the cause and cause of the accident occurrence. We will propose the development of a standalone PMS that is possible to respond.

Korea is becoming an aged society as well developed country. Accident rates of elderly workers are increased. When elderly workers injured, elderly workers are more likely to die as a result, and they take longer to recover than young workers. Thus the cost to industry per individual accident gets higher for elderly workers. If information on the occupational accidents of elderly workers could be collected and analyzed for the purpose of preventing occupational accidents, we would be able to get rid of accidents of elderly workers. The accidents of elderly workers in small manufacturing factories were considered in this study. 97 accidents, which occurred in 1995-1998, were investigated. These accidents were analyzed in terms of sex, work period, cause of accident and form of accident. The accidents of elderly workers in small manufacturing factories are numerous and are often serious and worthy of greater attention than they have received. Successful strategies for accident prevention depend on effective analysis.

The safety should be primarily considered for air vehicle, such as helicopter, which is not easy to cope with when out of order or loss of control that followed catastrophe. The U.S National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated and analyzed for 34 years rotorcraft accidents that occurred from 1963 through 1997. This paper handles intensively the relative investigation and analysis of recent 10 years domestic civil helicopter accidents to those of the United States in order to increase the safety of helicopter transportation and to consider the main design parameter before we develop Korean Civil Helicopter. To understand the overview of civil turbine helicopter accident, it uses the NTSB's accident investigation results and the overall accident trend for U.S civil single and twin turbine engine helicopter according to category, cause, activity, and phase of operation.

In recent 5 years, the 70 percent of the ship's accident was occurred in the fishing vessels, and most of them were the engine troubles and collisions. The capsizing accident was comparatively low portion of occupation, which took only 2 percent, but the scale of accident and the loss of lives and property are known very tremendous. In this paper, it was examined for the stability provisions of fishing vessels in domestic and international to reduce the capsizing of them. Also, it was made an analysis for the case of capsizing accidents to suggest the measures against the capsizing.

In modern society, automobile is necessary vehicle. Automobile is a series of modern convenient. And the number of automobile is on the increase. But from you to year, automobile accident is on the increase, also. One of most reason that cause automobile accident is drowsiness driving. So, we plan to construct automobile system for drowsiness accident prevention for decreasing automobile accident. In this research, we built a drowsiness detecting device using EDA (Electro Dermal Activity) signal which is electric response in the human body skin. There are SIL (Skin Impedance Level) and SIR (Skin Impedance Response) in EDA. Mostly, SIL consists of DC element. On the other hand, SIL consists of AC element. We could detect the drowsiness condition with SIL and SIR signal.
