The construction workers might be at the risk of many occupational injuries and illnesses. To protect workers from various hazards, industrial health and hygiene systems were specified for the construction workers by law. It is important to know the actual health and safety(H&S) conditions by tasks and the characteristics of injuries and illnesses of construction workers. This study was designed to investigate the actual conditions of construction workers exposed to various harmful substances and work elements including evaluation of health status of each worker and general H&S system. Questionnaire was sent to 600 construction workers nationwide and totally 367 people responded to it having 61.67% of response rate. The common construction hazards were dust(29.6%), noise(19.3%), repetitive motions(12.0%), handling excessive heavy materials(11.2%) in order. The repetitive motions and handling heavy materials related to muscle disorders accounted for 23.2%. The accident and injury types were in order of overexertion, falling, overturning, dropping or flying, electric shock, collision, etc.

Purpose: This study aims to identify general, workplace, and health-related characteristics of outdoor workers exposed to high temperatures, and to compare the risk of disease according to outdoor high temperature exposure. Methods: This secondary analysis study used the 5th Korean Working Conditions Survey (2017) to identify 4,915 outdoor workers exposed to high temperatures. Results: Outdoor workers exposed to high temperatures were mostly male, elderly, less educated, and daily contract workers. Most of them were engaged in agriculture, forestry and fishing, and construction industries. About 40~50% of them complained of musculoskeletal pain and overall fatigue. The results showed that high temperature exposure increased the risk of illness (hearing problem, skin problem, backache, muscular pains in upper and lower limbs, headache/eyestrain, injuries, depression, and overall fatigue) among workers. Conclusion: High temperature exposure might increase the risk of illness among workers. The results of this study demonstrated that the outdoor workers should be protected from high temperatures.

For the purpose of investigating the subjective symptom of industrial fatigue, a questionnaire survey was carried out on 282 labor workers and 189 managerial workers who were employed at the manufacture of electronic products in two small scale industries. Checklist of industrial fatigue was composed of physical symptoms(10 items), mental symptoms(10 items), and sensory neurotic symptoms(10 items). The results were as follows : 1. Complain rate of fatigue was the highest in "eye strain" of physical symptom, "feel anxious about things" of mental symptom, and "feel stiffness in the neck or the shoulders" of sensory neurotic symptom in labor workers and managerial workers. 2. Managerial workers demonstrated II dominant type (mental or night work type), while labor workers demonstrated I dominant type of fatigue (general type). 3. Mean weighted score of fatigue complaints in labor workers (23.16) was significantly higher than that in managerial workers (20.34). 4. Mean weighted scores of fatigue complaints in male, 5~9 years of work duration, married, 4~5 hours of sleeping time, graduation of high school and college, and large of workload were significantly higher in labor workers than in managerial workers. 5. In poor work condition with temperature, ventilation, illumination and noise, the average weighted score was significantly higher in labor workers than in managerial workers.

본 연구는 대구시 삼삼급식소 종사자 80명, 일반급식소 종사자 80명의 총 160명을 대상으로 2020년 9월부터 10월까지 급식소별 종사자의 짠맛과 단맛 선호도, 급식 맛 인식도, 행동변화단계, 식행동과 급식소의 나트륨 및 당류 저감화 실천도를 비교·분석하였다. 1. 조사대상자의 연령은 삼삼급식소 종사자가 일반급식소 종사자보다 50대 이상의 비율이 높았으며, 근무처는 삼삼급식소는 병원(43.8%)과 관공서(42.5%)의 비율이 높았고, 일반급식소는 학교(55.0%)와 산업체(31.3%)의 비율이 높았으나, 직위와근무경력은 두 급식소 간 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2. 짠맛과 단맛 선호도는 삼삼급식소 종사자와 일반급식소 종사자 간 유의한 차이가 없었으나 싱겁게 먹기를 실천하거나 유지하는 단계에 있는 종사자의 비율은 더 높았다. 또한 급식의 짠맛과 단맛 정도는 삼삼급식소 종사자보다 일반급식소 종사자가 더 짜고, 더 달게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 짜게 먹는 식행동 조사결과, 삼삼급식소 종사자는 일반급식소 종사자에 비해 '국이나 국수류의 국물을 남김없이 먹는다'는 식행동 점수가 낮았으나, 당류에 관한 식행동은 두 급식소 종사자 간 유의한 차이는 없었다. 4. 나트륨 저감화 실천도는 일반급식소보다 삼삼급식소에서 높은 것으로 나타났다. 두 급식소 간 실천도에서 특히 차이가 큰 항목은 '음식의 간을 전반적으로 싱겁게 하려고 노력하기', '국·찌개의 국물 양을 적게 제공하기', '가공완제품을 사용하기보다 직접 조리하기', '양념해서 오래 재워두지 않고 제공 직전 양념하기', '양념의 짠맛을 줄이고 단맛, 신맛 추가하기', '김치양을 적게 제공하기', '소금, 장류 줄이고 천연조미료 사용하기' 등이었다. 5. 급식소의 당류 저감화 실천도는 삼삼급식소가 일반급식소보다 높았다. 특히 '한 끼 양념과 소스의 종류를 2가지 이하로 식단 구성하기', '첨가당 함량이 높은 식재료 많이 구매하지 않기', '양념 대신 식재료 본연의 맛을 살려 조리하기', '첨가당 함량 높은 식재료 사용 줄이기', '소스를 버무리지 않고 직접 찍어 먹도록 별도 제공하기' 항목에서 삼삼급식소가 일반급식소에 비하여 실천도가 유의하게 높았다. 이상의 결과, 삼삼급식소는 일반급식소에 비하여 급식의 나트륨 저감화 실천도가 높았을 뿐 아니라 당류 저감화 실천도도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 단체급식소의 나트륨 및 당류 저감화를 보다 확대하고 정착하기 위해서 국가 차원의 지원과 인센티브를 지속적으로 제공하는 것이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Design of manufacturing process, in general, facilitates the creation of new process that may potentially harm the workers. Design of safety-guaranteed manufacturing process is, therefore, very important since it determines the ultimate outcomes of manufacturing activities involving safety of workers. This study discusses application of discrimination information (cross entropy) to safety assessment of manufacturing processes. The idea is based on the general principles of design and their applications. An example of Cartesian robotic movement is given.
