Korea reached an aging society in 2000, and it is progressed quickly now. Government forecasts that the number of aged people over 65 years old will increase from 7.2%(2000) to above 14.3% among total population in 2018. Workers over fifty years old are increasing in construction field every year. These aged workers are exposed to various construction accidents, and also their accident rate is very high because of physical and psychological changes by aging. Specially, a disaster of aged workers more than 50 years old is fronted at the serious situation in the construction industry which has variable working environment. Thus, the purpose of this study is to suggest the precaution by analysing disaster characteristics of aged construction workers. Also, this study aims to present a basic counter-plan according to important safety management list which is abstracted from the work, aged construction workers' accident rate is high.

In this study, the authors introduced DASH (Disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand), which had been developed for evaluating the functional impairment in the movement of upper extremities in regular daily activities, work ability and sports/performing arts ability. It is an ergonomic risk assessment tool used for industrial workers and also a disability measurement tool for upper extremity disorders arising from musculoskeletal disorders and symptom. This study intended to examine the applicability of DASH in occupational health field. Firstly, DASH development process and composition were reviewed through The DASH outcome measure user's manual and early articles. Secondly, reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the DASH in various languages at the application stage as well as its reliability and validity at the early stage of development were investigated. Thirdly, focusing on the application of DASH to clinical cases, workers with musculoskeletal symptoms, healthy workers, workers with other diseases, and general population were discussed besides workers with major musculoskeletal disorders. Lastly, DASH questionnaire was examined for its potential as a reference for assessing the functional impairment in the movement of upper extremities of workers with musculoskeletal symptoms in industrial workers in Korea.

Background: The surface mining industry has one of the highest fatality rates among private industries in the United States. Despite recent decreases in the fatality rates of comparable industries, the fatality rate in the surface mining industry has increased. Meanwhile, a lack of safety research in surface mining has hindered efforts to improve safety strategies in the surface mining workplace. Method: This study examined quarry workers' hazard identification skills by conducting a case study of a surface mining facility in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Semistructured interviews were conducted with eight quarry workers who were employed at the mine facility. In addition to the interviews, data were collected through field notes, notes from an expert meeting with safety managers, and site photographs to explore quarry workers' safety behaviors in the workplace. Results: The results showed that quarry workers identified hazards and improved their safety performance by translating safety knowledge learned from training into practice, acquiring hands-on work experience, learning from coworkers, and sharing responsibilities among team members. Conclusion: This study contributes to understanding quarry workers' safe performance beyond what they have learned in safety training to include their interaction with other workers and hand-on experience in the workplace. This study informs practitioners in the surface mining industry to build a safe work environment as they design effective safety programs for employees.

Background: Radiation exposure can occur as a result of occupational activities utilizing sources of radiation. The average level of occupational exposure is generally similar to the global average, but some workers receive more than this. In this study, the occupational exposure data for workers in Korea to check the recent trend of radiation exposure. Materials and Methods: The data collection and analysis are carried out by two separate periods based on the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) survey. One is the year 2003 to 2014 for a recent survey, and the other is 2015 to 2019. All available data were collected by annual reports from radiation dose registry organizations. Results and Discussion: The annual dose over the record level to the total workers did not change much compared with the total increasing number of workers in this period. The dose to the nuclear fuel cycle field has a tendency to decrease. It resulted from the efforts of radiation dose reduction with high technology introduced to this area. Also, it is important result that the radiation dose to the workers in radiography is remarkably reduced. Conclusion: The number of radiation workers and average doses were analyzed for occupational categories in Korea. It still needs cooperative efforts between the dose registry organizations for the efficient dose management of Korean radiation workers.

높은 문화수준의 향상으로 '아름다움'에 대한 관심이 높아지게 됨에 따라 네일분야 종사자들이 근무를 행하는데 있어 발생하는 직무스트레스 및 감정노동은 점차 증가하는 추세이며, 이에 미용산업 분야에서 해결을 해야 한다고 판단된다. 본 연구는 네일분야 종사자들의 근무스트레스와 감정노동이 이직의도에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였으며, 연구 대상자로는 대전·충청지역에 근무하고 있는 네일산업 종사자 250명을 대상으로 조사 도구는 설문지로 하였다. 수집된 자료를 SPSS 21.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였으며 연구 결과를 종합해보면, 네일 분야의 종사자들의 직무스트레스 및 감정노동은 이직 의도와 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계 부분이 있는 것으로 나타나 네일 분야 종사자들이 느끼는 대체적인 직무스트레스와 감정노동이 이직에 미치는 영향과의 상관관계가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 네일산업 종사자들의 직무스트레스와 감정노동이 이직에 미치는 영향 부분을 분석하여 이 분야의 발전과 직업 만족도 향상 및 업무스트레스 대처방안에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하며 살펴보는 것이 이 분야 연구에 매우 중요하다고 사료된다. 나날이 발전하고 있는 미용산업의한 부분으로서 네일 분야가 자리매김을 하기 위해서 네일산업 종사자들의 직무스트레스와 감정노동에 대한 원인 분석을 통해 이직률을 감소시키고, 직업만족도 향상을 위해 비교 및 분석한다면 더 좋은 연구 결과가 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 가정폭력과 아동학대의 중복발생과 관련된 국내 사회복지현실을 탐색적으로 진단하기 위해 두 현장 실무자들을 대상으로 질적연구를 수행하였다. 현장에서 접하게 되는 중복문제 사례들을 통해 실무자들은 그 두 문제가 '따로 또 같이' 발생하고 있다는 사실을 알아채고 있었지만 그 문제에 초점을 둔 의도적 사정과 개입을 수행하고 있지는 않았다. 두 현장 실무자들은 중복문제를 감지하더라도 그들의 서비스 우선순위 대상인 여성 혹은 아동의 욕구에 초점을 두고 '따로' 분리된 대응을 해왔지만, 피해 여성과 아동의 욕구 및 문제해결 방법이 상호의존적 차원으로 교차하는 현실을 직시할 때 '또 같이' 협력하고 연계할 수 있는 대안을 기대하였다. 중복문제에 관한 다차원적 조사와 사정도구의 개발, 관련 실무자 의무교육과 보수교육의 필요성 등을 제안하였다.

The aim of this paper is to consider the process of supplying trained workers with knowledge and skills for upcoming business opportunities and the process of training apprentices to be prepared to meet future demands in an IT service firm. As the demand for new workers fluctuates, a firm should employ a buffer workforce such as apprentices or interns. However, as a result of rapid business development, the capacity of the buffer may be exceeded, thus requiring the company to recruit skilled workers from outside the firm. Therefore, it is important for a firm to map out a strategy for manpower planning so as to fulfill the demands of new business and minimize the operation costs related to training apprentices and recruiting experienced workers. First, this paper analyzes the supply and demand of workers for the IT service in a knowledge-intensive field. It then presents optimal human resource planning strategies via the familiar method of stochastic process. Also, we illustrate that our model is applied to the human resource planning of an information security service firm in South Korea.

The construction environment has been declared as a hazard prone area due to high number of accident and death. The study aims to identify influential factors that contribute to poor safety practices and its consequences on construction workers in Cape Coast Metropolis. Seventy respondents were taken as the sample size for the study. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data obtained from the field. Findings show that poor site management, working without safety gadgets, failure to use their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and negligence of workers were the main causes of accidents on sites. Poor site management had the highest ranking among the seven variables. Effects of poor safety practices on building construction site and delays in work execution were due to injury of workers, extra cost due to payment of compensation to injured victims, not motivated due to injury of worker and declined reputation of firm. Management team should motivate workers for safe work done, provide adequate PPE for their workers on site and have documented health and safety policy on site. Site authorities and management team should be on site regularly to ensure proper safety practices on construction site.
