Background: An analysis of industrial accidents is an essential process for establishing systematic industrial accident prevention measures. In order to establish industrial accident prevention measures for workers effectively, it is necessary to analyze accident characteristics by job type for workers who do the same work.

In other words, 70.2% occurred to workers over 60 years old and 56.2% occurred to unskilled workers with less than a year of work experience. In the case of accident pattern, 79.1% occurred in tripping (slip) hazards, and 68.2% of accidents occurred on the floor (including the ground) and the stairs, indicating that the accident occurred most frequently during cleaning work on the floor or stairs. Conclusion and Application: The results of the study on the accident characteristics of the janitors can be used as basic data for systematic preventive measures against accidents occurring to the elderly female workers in the service industry.

  • The major goal of caring the elderly is not to cure the patient, but rather to improve or maintain the individual functional ability. With the aged population increases, there is increasing consensus among health care workers about the importance of developing a tool to measure and evaluate the health status of the elderly. As many writers is pointing out, care of the elderly embraces the spectrum of physical-social-psychological problems and an enormous number of variables could be introudeced into the health worker's routine measurement. But such an expansive approach to measurement could have disadvantages. The purpose of this study is to introduce the measurement tools of physical functioning, perhaps the most important measure required in long-term care, which are separated into three categories of measures; general physical health, ADL, IADL. It is important that all health workers who provide care to the elderly incorporate the concepts of functional health status into the routine assessments. And continuous study about reliability and validity is needed to apply those foreign tools to Korea.

  • 고용노동부의 산업재해 사고사망 통계에 따르면 건설업의 사고 사망자는 458명으로 사고사망자의 77.3% 가 50세 이상이며, 41.9% 가 60세 이상 고령층인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 건설현장에서 근무중인 고령근로자 68명을 대상으로 안전교육, 보호구, 안전의식에 대해 파악하고자 설문조사를 진행하고 분석하였다. 그 결과 고령 근로자들이 가지고 있는 모순적인 안전의식을 재고하기 위해 시각자료를 활용한 안전 교육의 다양화의 필요성에 대해 확인하였다. 또한, 보호구에 대한 높은 필요성 인식과 현장 착용에도 불구하고 보호구 착용에 소극적인 근로자를 위한 개인 신체에 맞는 보호구 지급과 주기적인 교체 등의 보호구의 개선의 필요성에 대해서 확인하였다.
