Movable scaffolding has been used to work in high places. The scaffolding is economical and convenient to move to other places, but it has the risk of falling down. This paper proposes a fixed bracing system to prevent the falling down of a movable scaffolding, and evaluates its usability by making a small-sized model. Further studies of structural stability, safety, and economical efficiency is necessary to use the system practically.

This paper proposes a method to track object of real-time video transferred through single web-camera and to recognize risk-situation and human actions. The proposed method recognizes human basic actions that human can do in daily life and finds risk-situation such as faint and falling down to classify usual action and risk-situation. The proposed method models the background, obtains the difference image between input image and the modeled background image, extracts human object from input image, tracts object's motion and recognizes human actions. Tracking object uses the moment information of extracting object and the characteristic of object's recognition is moment's change and ratio of object's size between frames. Actions classified are four actions of walking, waling diagonally, sitting down, standing up among the most actions human do in daily life and suddenly falling down is classified into risk-situation. To test the proposed method, we applied it for eight participants from a video of a web-cam, classify human action and recognize risk-situation. The test result showed more than 97 percent recognition rate for each action and 100 percent recognition rate for risk-situation by the proposed method.

Falling is a serious problem associated with aging. Unintentional injury, which most often results from falling, is one of the leading causes of death in elderly people. The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors of falls and to compare characteristics of people who fall with that of non-fallers among the rural community-dwelling elderly of Korea. A sample of 201 people, living in the community, aged 60 years and over was taken from the members of a center for seniors located in Jecheon city. The mean age of the participants was 70.5 years of age. The participants are comprised of 151 women and 50 men. Eighty four of the 201 participants (41.8%) fell during the previous year. Twenty two of the fallers (26.2%) fell down more than two times. It was found that fallers had poorer eyesight, multiple chronic diseases and a more difficult time walking than non-fallers. In the logistic regression analysis of falls, only the difficulty of walking one kilometer (OR=2.4) and chronic diseases (OR=2.5) have shown an increased risk of falls. The risk of recurrent falls is, in addition, influenced by the difficulty of walking one kilometer. The result of our study shows that the impairment of mobility was the strongest risk factor of recurrent falling.

The present study was motivated by the needs to make diversified scientific approaches toward influential factors like human, technical, organization, policy and environmental on the basis of the specialized information concerning the cause for industrial accidents in a measure to prevent the falling accident which has the biggest priority among the three major frequent industrial accidents. In this connection, diverse policies have been practiced in the meantime, with little effects in fact to reduce occurrence of industrial accidents, seemingly because such policies have been practiced on the direct dimension, instead of tries to nip in the bud of fundamental causes. This study was thus conducted with a view to determine the causes that have influence on falling accidents from the overall context and unearth the factors requiring management with priority. For this aim, "Fall from Height"(2003), a study by HSE, UK was applied to various conditions of korea as an experiment to search for fundamental causes for falling accidents. The major findings of this study might be summed up as exploring a main critical path that has influence upon falling accidents and suggesting effective ways to cut down through the critical path.

Gondola is widely used as a construction facility to perform external finishing work without using scaffolding at a construction site. However, since 2000, there have been 17 deaths from now so these risks associated with work can not be ignored. Therefore, it is expected that it will contribute greatly to prevent related disasters if introducing necessary measures to prevent repeated related disasters and installing additional safety devices. In order to eliminate the risk factor according to the operation of the gondola, it is necessary for the operator to use it to use it while the examination of each product is completed, and to use the over load Dangerous arbitrary measures such as arbitrary operation of the prevention device, removal of the safety fence for convenience of work, installation of the wire rope installed in the air, falling out of the wire rope and falling to the ground Do not perform such sealing measures so that any operation of the overload prevention device can not be done so as not to take such arbitrary measures, or wire the power supply wire to the safety fence so as not to delete the safety fence. Then, when the safety fence is removed, so that it does not become a gondola operation, or when replacing the wire rope in the air, to prevent the wire rope from coming off, Additional measures such as installing falling down prevention device may be necessary.

Tuna purse seine fishery (TPF) constitute more than 60% of distant water fishery production in Korea based on a statistic of 2018, and 28 ships from four different companies were under operation at the western and central Pacific Ocean. On this research, common risk factors during TPF were investigated via enumeration of five years Korean fisherman's insurance payment statement, followed by some counterplans to diminish the accident rate. The accident rate of TPF on the Pacific Ocean peaked by 43.0% in 2014 and constantly decreased to 23.0% until 2018, presenting an average of 33.6%. Meanwhile, the accident rate on the Indian Ocean reached the highest point 55.1% in 2014 and declined to 11.6% in 2016, having an average of 24.7%. The average accident rate of the Indian Ocean scored 8.9% lower than the rate of the Pacific Ocean, but no statistic significance was observed. Depending on the process of operation, 'casting or hauling of net' was the most frequent part that people received an injury (40.4%). When the accidents were classified by their types, 'falling down' was the most recurrent cause of the injuries (28.5%). At the point of severity, the worst injuries were induced by crush hazard. Considering aforementioned accident frequency and severity, all the factors on the accident type list were divided into three different groups including high risk, moderate risk, and common risk. This study is expected to contribute to the reduction of occupational accidents during the work of fishermen and establishment of a safety management system for distance water fishing vessels.

수목의 파손은 주변 재산과 생명에 치명적인 위험을 초래한다. 특히, 도복으로 인한 위험은 피해범위가 넓고, 충격의 강도가 높기 때문에 선제적으로 대응하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 도복 시 예상되는 잠재적 위험범위를 산정하거나 위험등급을 평가한 시도가 있었지만, 구체적인 물리량으로 위험을 정량화하지 못하였다. 또한, 수목과 피해대상의 형상을 입체적으로 반영하지 못했다는 아쉬움이 있다. 본 연구는 수목의 도복 시 발생할 수 있는 위험범위와 충격량을 정량적, 입체적으로 예측하기 위한 기법의 개발을 목적으로 하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 수목의 도복 시 발생하는 위험범위와 충격량 산출식을 정립하였다. 위험범위 산출 시 수목이 쓰러져 미끄러지는 가능성을 반영해 수고의 1.5배를 반경으로 하는 원의 내부 범위로 확대하여 계산하였다. 수목의 기울기에 따라 직립으로 생육하는 수목은 근원부를 중심으로 360° 범위, 기울어져 생육하는 수목은 기운 방향에서 180° 범위로 설정하였다. 충격량은 충돌이 발생하기 직전 수목의 나중운동량이 피해대상에 전달되는 현상을 이용해 산출하였다. 또한, 수목이 쓰러질 때 근원부를 기점으로 회전운동 하는 것을 반영해 각운동량을 산출하였으며, 이를 선운동량으로 전환하여 충격량을 계산하였다. 둘째, Rhino3D와 Grasshopper를 이용하여 위험범위, 충격량 산출 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 알고리즘은 3차원 모델 제작, 산출, 조회 기능으로 구성하였다. 3차원 모델은 Rhino3D를 이용하여 지형, 건물, 수목의 형상을 입체적 모델로 제작하였고, 이를 Grasshopper에 연결하여 공간정보를 구축하였다. 산출 기능에서는 산출식을 활용하여 알고리즘을 코딩하였다. 산출 시 수고, 기울기, 중량 등 수목의 생육 정보와 인접수목, 피해대상, 분석범위 등 주변 환경을 고려하였다. 조회 기능에서는 산출 결과를 종합하여 3차원 모델에 가시화하였다. 산출값에 따라 색상으로 구분하여 위험수목과 위험구역을 효율적으로 판단하였다. 본 연구는 수목의 도복 시 발생하는 잠재적 위험범위와 충격량을 정량적으로 산출하고, 이를 가시화하여 우선관리가 필요한 대상을 효율적으로 판단하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이는 도복 발생 시, 주변 건물과 관람객의 안전을 위한 대책 수립 및 재난 예방의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 도심지와 공원, 문화재구역에서 명확한 기준 없이 진행되는 수목의 제거를 방지하는데 기여할 것이다.

Dropped objects are among the top ten causes of fatalities and serious injuries in the oil and gas industry (DORIS, 2016). Objects may accidentally fall down from platforms or vessels during lifting or any other offshore operation. Proper planning of lifting operations requires the knowledge of the risk-free zone on the sea bed to protect underwater structures and equipment. To this end a three-dimensional (3D) theory of dynamic motion of dropped cylindrical object is expanded to also consider ocean currents. The expanded theory is integrated into the authors' Dropped Objects Simulator (DROBS). DROBS is utilized to simulate the trajectories of dropped cylinders falling through uniform currents originating from different directions (incoming angle at $0^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, and $270^{\circ}$). It is found that trajectories and landing points of dropped cylinders are greatly influenced by the direction of current. The initial conditions after the cylinders have fallen into the water are treated as random variables. It is assumed that the corresponding parameters orientation angle, translational velocity, and rotational velocity follow normal distributions. The paper presents results of DROBS simulations for the case of a dropped cylinder with initial drop angle at $60^{\circ}$ through air-water columns without current. Then the Monte Carlo simulations are used for predicting the landing point distributions of dropped cylinders with varying drop angles under current. The resulting landing point distribution plots may be used to identify risk free zones for offshore lifting operations.
