The recent Sichuan earthquake(2008) in China and Iwate-Miyazaki earthquake(2008) in Japan give Korea peninsula warning that it is no more safety zone against damage by earthquake events. So, rapid and appropriate countermeasures for dam operation and management against earthquake are needed. In Korea earthquake design standard(MOCT, 1997) has been revised after Kobe earthquake. Installation of seismometer and monitoring of earthquake for special class dams is requlated in dam aseismic design standard(MOCT, 2001). Accelerometer installation project for existing dams has been carrying out by K-water to establish an earthquake network for dam safety. Real-time dam earthquake monitoring network has also been developed to detect an earthquake efficiently and to warn to dam administrators as soon as possible. In this study, dam real-time earthquake monitoring system developed by K-water was introduced and applicability of real earthquake record measured by this system to dam safety management was illustrated.

Recently, social crimes using chemicals at home and abroad are increasing. These chemicals are readily available in the internet. Therefore, the NICS(national institute of chemical safety) runs a 'Chemical Cyber Surveillance' to help the public take control of the internet and create a healthy cyberspace through voluntary participation of the public. The study analyzed more than 1,000 sites suspected illegal hazardous information or blocked among cyber surveillance 3,500 case reports in the past yeas. And, the number of illegal hazardous information reported in the past three years is analyzed by type and substance. They want to examine the characteristics of hazardous chemical information on the internet and use it as a basic data to establish illegal information management measures that spread over cyberspace.

This paper has dealt with the efficiency of maritime safety administrative system in the APEC region. under the hypothesis that officient maritime safety and marine environment. Many factors affect administrative structures, which generate various types of administration. The factors include social, economical and political factors. Further, the addition of historical factors to these factors makes it tougher to draw out an optimal model for maritime safety administration. In this regard, the result of this study will be within the extent of volition capable of accepting it under the existing maritime safety administration system. The result of the study to help APEC member states(economies) to compare their own system with those of other economies and finally to help to improve their maritime safety administrative structure for safer shipping.

We badly need the plans to promote practical and systematic utilization of safety management system as the safety management in coasters is not yet sufficient although the government and shipping companies are making efforts to protect human life and environment in ocean. This thesis executed questionnaire survey on related organizations and shipping companies followed by proof analysis and suggest plans to make it useful safety management system suitable to coastal marine transport of the country through grasping and improving the points of problems in current safety management on coastwise vessels.

Purpose: School foodservice employees (SFEs) could be exposed to the risk of musculoskeletal disease and of job stress due to their job characteristics. This study was to evaluate the level of job stress and the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms (WRMS) in Seoul city's SFEs, and to determine associations between job stress and WRMS. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional, and 975 SFEs were recruited. Self-administered questionnaire included the 'Korean occupational stress scale-short form' and the 'KOSHA GUIDE H-9-2012' instrument to evaluate the job stress and WRMS, respectively. SFEs' medians of job stress were compared to the reference values of published study in Korean workers. Results: The participants reported greater levels of job demand and physical environment than the general Korean population. WRMS were reported in 89.0% of participants at any body part, and 41.1% were presumed to need for medical intervention. High levels of job demand and of physical environment were significantly associated with WRMS. Conclusion: Subscales of job demand and physical environment were relatively high in SFEs and those were related to the occurrence of WRMS. To reduce the WRMS prevalence, a job stress management program focused on job demand and physical environment may be required.

A HEV evaluation program, funded by ADEME, was carried out by a group of Laboratories of different specialties in order to evaluate and compare consumption, emission and component technologies of the three first HEVs put on the market (Toyota Prius, Nissan Tino and Honda Insight). This paper presents the results obtained until now. These results show good consumption and emission performance of the tested vehicles compared to conventional ones. The energy management seems to be globally the same for the three vehicles excepting for cold stans where the Insight allows a very earlier stop of the engine compared to the Tino and especially to the Prius. A mapping of the engine consumption of the Prius and the Insight was performed in order to furnish data for the simulation models. The Permanent Magnet motors of the Prius and Tino have different number of pair poles and then different emf at a given speed. The low emf values of the Prius allow operation at high speed with less field weakening control than for the Tino. The inverters of the Prius and the Tino, controlled by a PWM at respectively 5 kHz and 7 kHz switching frequency, are made of IGBTs with high commutation performances.

These days, it seems to be a core time to build proactive prevention systems for small and medium sized enterprises due to the reinforced safety in the production process and the strong environmental regulations (ES) both at home and abroad. On the other hand, a network of experts that combines the industrial environment and production safety as well as even the knowledge services companies are not quite enough to prepare to support them. In this study, through a survey of experts the current statue of the convergence of industrial environment and production safety were reviewed, and the structure of knowledge ES cluster was proposed to overcome this current state. Detailed strategies such as the development and distribution of ES convergence methodology, ES efficiency analysis and an ES roundtable.

The use of chemicals to enhance and improve life is a widespread practice worldwide. But alongside the benefits of these products, there is also the potential for adverse effects to people or the environment. Thus, If anyone handles hazardous chemicals, they should adhere to specific criteria for hazardous chemicals. This study used hazard statement(H-code) and precautionary statement(P-code) to set specific criteria for handling chemicals. According to the UN GHS, hazard statement means a statement assigned to a hazard class and category that describes. And a precautionary statement is a phrase which describes recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposures to a hazardous product, or improper storage or handling of a hazardous product. The study suggests the treatment criteria(Public Notice) of 785 types of hazardous chemicals managed by the Chemical Control Act.

Dose optimization for Radioactive Occupational Personal (ROP) is an important subject in nuclear and radiation safety field. The geometric environment of a nuclear facility is complex and the work area is radioactive, so traditional navigation model and radioactive data field cannot form an effective environment model for dose assessment and dose optimization. The environment model directly affects dose assessment and indirectly affects dose optimization, this is an urgent problem needed to be solved. Therefore, this paper focuses on an environment model used for Dose Assessment and Dose Optimization (DA&DO). We designed a multi-layer radiation field coupling modeling method, and then explored the influence of the environment model to DA&DO by virtual simulation. Then, a simulation test is done, the multi-layer radiation field coupling model for nuclear facilities is demonstrated to be effective for dose assessment and dose optimization through the experiments and analysis.
