Postural stability can reduce the likelihood of critical slip and fall accidents in workplaces. The present study aimed to analyze the effect of shoes type on the ability of postural control during quiet standing. The effect of workload on the body balance was also of primary concern. Thirteen healthy male undergraduate students participated voluntarily in the experimental study. Standing on a force plate with wearing slippers, sports shoes, or safety shoes, two-axis coordinate on subjects' center of pressures (COP) was obtained in the two levels, rest and workload. For the workload level, subjects performed treadmill exercise to reach the predetermined level of physical workload. By converting the position coordinates of COPs, the postural sway length in both anterior-posterior (AP) axis and medio-lateral (ML) axis was assessed. ANOVA results showed that, in AP direction, wearing slippers significantly increased the postural sway length compared to wearing sports shoes or safety shoes. No significant difference in the mean sway length in AP axis was observed between sports shoes and safety shoes. In ML direction, both the workload and the shoes type did not significantly affect the mean length of postural sway. However, the postural sway length increased marginally with the slippers especially during the workload condition. This study explains wearing slippers may interfere with the ability of postural control during quiet standing. Physical workload decreases the ability of postural stability further.

The purpose of this study was to compare the ground reaction forces and plantar pressure variables among three different safety shoes (Type 1: ergonomically designed and high quality shoes, 2: curved and cushioned safety hoes, and 3: regular safety shoes) and to find the effect of insole during walking. Ten healthy subjects were recruited for this study. The ground reaction force was measured using a 3 dimensional motion analysis system. Plantar pressures were measured Pedar Mobile foot pressure scan system. The ground reaction force variables were not significantly different among three different shoe types and insole conditions. After insertion insole, plantar pressure distributions were improved. These results suggest that the type 1 safety shoes was superior than other safety shoes in the statistics, and applying insole could be a possible method to prevent fatigue of lower extremity and musculoskeletal disorders. Further studies are needed to find the effect of ergonomically designed safety shoes design and insole on practical value prevention of musculoskeletal disorder, fatigue and satisfaction of workers.

Safety management is the most important factor in the construction industry. If the construction company don't control the risk, it causes the accident which give the company fatal loss. According to the Korea industrial safety analysis reports, the 25.72% of the disasters are from the construction industry, and the 13.6% construction disasters are caused by not properly using the safety gears. Therefore, this study is to investigate the Wearing Safety Gear by Occupational Classification and the Satisfaction in the Construction Field. The results are ; Carpenters are dissatisfied with the safety shoes and belt, re-bar workers are dissatisfied with the safety helmet and shoes, Concrete workers are dissatisfied with the safety helmet and goggles.

산업현장에서 직업 특성상 무거운 자재를 옮기는 일이 많다. 이때 과도한 무게로 인한 넘어짐, 신체적 피해와 끼임 사고 등 각종 일어날 수 있는 사고에 대해 개인이 조치할 수 없는 일이 대부분이다. 본 논문에서는 안전화에 IoT 기술을 적용해 작업자의 발의 압력분포도를 수집 저장하여 그 데이터를 통해 관리자가 작업자의 행동을 모니터링하고 그에 따른 무거운 자재를 들었을 때의 치우침과 균형을 판별할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

The purpose of this study is to provide foot classification on 30 generation young men and women by factor analysis and cluster analysis. The sample for this work was chosen from data which were collected and measured by Size Korea during two years($2003{\sim}2004$). In order to analyze and compare features of the foot of men and women, analysis was performed about 871 subjects(male: 422, female: 449) on 24 body parts including height, width, thickness, circumference, length and angle. According to the result of factor analysis about measured data, there were seven factors and six factors for men and women respectively. After cluster analysis, data for men and women were commonly divided by three types for utilization of research results. Type 1 and type 3 had wide distribution about men. Type 2 had wide distribution about women. The results of this study can be applied in manufacturing and design of comfortable shoes and socks.

One of the major requirements in preventing Work-related MusculoSkeletal Disorders(WMSDs) is to know definitely what vigorous exertion requirements are contained in a job. This requires improved job analysis tools which can accurately evaluate potentially harmful stresses to the musculoskeletal system. But to simply evaluate the level of stress at a joint, or in a muscle is not enough to motivate job changes. Therefore, the development of ergonomic evaluation tools for the jobs are important to ergonomics. The main objective is compared of the results that made by the ergonomic evaluation tools (e.g., BRIEF and RULA) in actually shoes manufacturing. These were developed in the foreign. So, it is priory needed to research of the ergonomics about Korean characteristic work by physiology and biomechanics.

Unwanted effects of electrostatic phenomena occur in various industries. Electrostatic problems originating from the human body in flammable atmospheres in the industry are especially concerning. A substantial volume of experimental data on the electrostatic charging voltages created on the human body owing to the rubbing of apparel were generated and reviewed during this study. The data were reviewed to determine whether the resultant charging levels of the human body are hazardous in flammable atmospheres. This study was conducted under several conditions, such as different fiber types used in apparel, shoe types, and relative humidities (RHs). The following conclusions were drawn in this study. ① The electrostatic charging levels of the human body owing to the rubbing of apparel increase with the increase in the surface resistances of apparel; however, the electrostatic charging levels may be different depending on the condition of the cloth surface. ② The discharging energy of 1.98-18.5 [mJ] from the human body exceeds the minimum ignition energy of most flammable materials, when removing an overcoat made of polyester, cotton and wool under severe conditions such as wearing height-raising shoes for men. ③ When removing antistatic apparel, the maximum discharging energy of 0.128 mJ from the human body is dangerous if the minimum ignition energy of the flammable material is between 10^-5-10^-4 [J] Grade; however, a minimum ignition energy of 10^-3 J Grade of the flammable material is considered safe. ④ While wearing antistatic shoes, the electrostatic charging voltage generated in the human body when removing an overcoat is 30 V; therefore, wearing such shoes is a suitable countermeasure when handling flammable materials. However, the antistatic abilities of shoes reduce when thick socks are worn. ⑤ As RH increases, the electrostatic charging levels of the human body decrease. ⑥ The electrostatic charging levels of the human body from removing a cotton overcoat can ignite the majority of flammable materials when RH is less than 30% under severe conditions such as wearing height-raising shoes for men.

중대재해 처벌 등에 관한 법률의 등장으로 사업주와 경영책임자 및 법인 등은 산업현장에서 안전사고를 예방하기 위해 안전관리자를 대폭 늘리고, ISO 취득 등 많은 투자와 노력을 하고 있다. 또한 SSMS(Smart Safety Management System)을 도입하여, 인원의 관리 및 안전보호구의 관리 또한 진행되고 있다. 작업자의 생명을 보호하는 안전보호구에서 안전모, 안전고리, 안전복에는 IoT 기반의 관리 시스템이 적용되고 있지만 안전화의 경우 현장 관리자와 개인에게 맡겨지고 있고 여전히 안전사고에 취약한 상황이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 현장 출입 시 작업자의 안전화 또한 착용 여부를 사전에 파악할 수 있도록 Raspberry PI 기반의 Sensor 인식 장비를 구현해 착용 여부를 확인하고 안전화 미착용으로 발생될 수 있는 사고를 예방하는 것을 목표로 한다.

이인자의 연구에 따르면 우리나라 조리사 수는 120만 명을 넘는다. 그럼에도 조리사 환경과 관련된 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 그렇지만 현재 조리사들이 작업 현장에서 신고 있는 신발을 조사하여 보기로 하였다. 대부분의 조리 작업 현장에서 일어나는 사고의 유형은 신고 있는 신발에서 기인한 것으로 보고, 본 연구는 조리 종사원들이 작업 환경에 적합한 신발에 관한 연구로서 본 신발을 개발함으로써 조리 현장에서 일어나는 미끄럼 등과 같은 잠재 위험에서 조리 종사원들을 보호하고 피로감을 줄여 업무 효과를 높이려는데 그 목적이 있다. 조리화에 대한 연구가 없기 때문에 조리 종사원들이 현재 신고 있는 안전화를 네 가지 요소에 중점을 두고 실험하였다. 이 네 가지 요소 실험을 바탕으로 무게와 미끄러움 정도, 인열 강도, 박리 강도를 실시한 결과에 따라 새롭게 만들어질 조리화에 대한 기준을 제시하였다. 그 결과로서 조리화의 무게는 체중에 1% 내외로 만들어져야 하며, 미끄러짐 저항도는 0.50 $\mu$, 인열 강도는 50.0 N/mm, 박리 강도는 3.0 kg/cm의 기준치를 제시하였다.
