Recently, the number of accidents reported involving foreign laborers has risen, and the need to prevent accidents at construction sites has become more urgent. It has been found that 90 percent of construction accidents are caused by unsafe work practices, and various studies have been conducted on these practices with the aim of preventing accidents at construction sites. However, the tendency with previous studies was to average the results of survey responses, and as a result it is impossible to consider the potential risk of how many foreign laborers feel unsafe in relation with the unsafe practices. Therefore, in this study, importance-performance analysis (IPA) was improved in order to assess the potential risk of the unsafe practices of foreign laborers at construction sites in Korea. To verify the applicability of the improved IPA, a survey was carried out, and then the results were compared with those of the IPA. Through the use of the improved IPA, unsafe practices that were not found in the previous IPA but have potential risk were identified. The method proposed in this study is expected to contribute to the prevention of construction accidents of foreign workers by enabling a more efficient management.

This paper presents the procedures and the results conducted by the proposed one for the risk assessment based on the accident statistics in the Korean railway. Approximately 1200 accident data were used for this study, and risk models were developed to describe the potential hazards. A risk assessment was conducted using the potential problem analysis technique qualitatively. Additionally, this study performed a regional risk assessment. The results of this study showed that the risks for collisions between trains and derailment are relatively low. However, grade crossing and public accident and accidents of workers on tracks take high risks. A large number of accidents is concentrated on the three regions such as Suwon, Chunan, and Chungrangri.

The potential impact of hypothetical accidents that occur during the immediate and deferred dismantling of the Kori Unit 1 steam generator has been comprehensively evaluated. The evaluation includes determining the inventory of radionuclides in the Steam Generator based on surface contamination measurements, assuming a rate of release for each accident scenario, and applying external and internal exposure dose coefficients to assess the effects of radionuclides on human health. The evaluation also includes calculating the atmospheric dispersion factor using the PAVAN code and analyzing three years of meteorological data from Kori NPP to determine the degree of diffusion of radionuclides in the atmosphere. Overall, the effective dose for residents living in the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) of Kori NPP is predicted, an it is found that the maximum level of the dose is 0.034% compared to the annual dose limit of 1 mSv for the general public. This implies that the potential impact of hypothetical accidents on human health discussed above is within acceptable limits.

지난 10년 간 졸음운전은 전체 고속도로 사고건수의 약 23%로 교통사고 사망원인 중 가장 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 과속, 주시태만 등 운전자 과실이 주요원인인 일반적인 사고유형과 달리, 졸음운전은 졸음이라는 불가항력적 원인에 의해 발생한다는 점에서 타 사고유형과 차별화된 접근이 요구된다. 그 동안의 졸음운전 감소대책은 일반적인 교통사고 대책과 마찬가지로 사고다발지점과 같은 특정지점(spot)에 집중하였으나, 도로특성(해당구간의 화물차 비율 등) 또는 시간특성(누적주행시간에 따른 위험 운전행동 증가 등)을 고려한 감소대책이 필요함에 따라, 본 연구에서는 시 공간적으로 확대한 구간(link) 개념을 도입하였다. 고속도로 졸음운전 위험구간 분석을 위해 화물차 디지털 운행기록계(digital tacho graph: DTG) 자료를 활용하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 졸음운전 위험구간을 산정하였다. 위험 행동지표와 사고 발생건수 간의 상관 분석을 위해 음이항 회귀모형(negative binomial regression)을 통한 졸음사고 예측모형을 추정하였으며 모형의 결과 값을 바탕으로 경험적 베이즈(empirical Bayes: EB) 추정치와 구간별 잠재적 안전개선 지수(potential for safety improvement: PSI)를 산출하여 졸음운전 위험 구간을 선정하였다. 졸음사고 모형 추정 결과, 연평균 일교통량, 화물차 비율, DTG 수집 자료건수, 평균 과속비율(20km/h 초과), 평균 급감속비율 및 평균 급차로변경비율이 늘어날 경우 졸음운전 사고건수 역시 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Even though continuous management and supervision of reinforcement of policies to safeguard accidents at workplace and work sites were implemented. Accident prevention activities such as inspection and diagnosis are urgently required to induce a preliminary investigation to identify the risk factors for each type of work, before the work task to eliminate risks at the worksites. Since safety inspections at work sites were generally conducted through visual inspections, the results of safety inspections may vary depending on the findings and proficiency of the safety officers. The results of those inspections may have loopholes to prevent potential accidents at work. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a risk identification checklist that can effectively perform safety inspections to prevent accidents at work sites. This study initially analyzed the previously developed accident checklist to identify current complications and issues in safety checklists. Based on the findings of major industrial accidents over the past three years, the relationship between accident, workplace, and work type were analyzed refereeing the safety inspection standards. A risk recognition-checklist was developed to provide basic data on identifying risk factors, and inspection guidance at work sites. To prepare for potential accidents by identifying and taking countermeasures to mitigate the high risk and serious accidents at sites by the guidelines of the checklist. The developed inspection checklist has been practically used by experts at work sites to perform safety inspections, and it has been verified its suitability, and feasibility, to prevent or mitigate workplace accidents, including securing the safety and health of field workers. The role of the developed safety checklist has been considered effective at worksites.

The main objective of the statistical analysis about industrial accidents is to find out what is the dangerous factor in its own industrial field so that it is possible to prevent or decrease the number of the possible accidents by educating those who work in the fields for safety tools. However, so far, there is no technique of quantitative evaluation on danger. Almost all previous researches as to industrial accidents have only relied on the frequency analysis such as the analysis of the constituent ratio on accidents. As an application of data mining technique, this paper presents analysis on the efficiency of the CHAID algorithm to classify types of industrial accidents data and thereby identifies potential weak points in accident risk grouping.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze and classify the characteristics of potential damage from hazardous chemical accidents in 229 administrative units in South Korea by reflecting the social and environmental characteristics of areas where chemical accidents can occur. Methods: A number of indicators were selected through preceding studies. Factor analysis was performed on selected indicators to derive factors, and cluster analysis was performed based on the factor scores. Results: As a result of the cluster analysis, 229 administrative units were divided into three clusters, and it was confirmed that each cluster had its own characteristics. Conclusions: The first cluster, "areas at risk of accident occurrence and spread of damage" was a type with a high potential for accident damage and a high density of hazardous facilities. The second cluster, "Urban infrastructure damage hazard areas" appeared to be a cluster with high urban development characteristics. Finally, the third cluster 'Urban and environmental damage hazard areas' appeared to be a cluster with an excellent natural environment. This study went further from the qualitative discussion related to existing chemical accidents to identify and respond to accident damage by reflecting the social and environmental characteristics of the region. Distinct from the previous studies related to the causes of accidents and the response system, it is meaningful to conduct empirical research focusing on the affected areas by analyzing the possibility of accident damage in reflection of the social and environmental characteristics of the community.

해상 안전을 위한 선박의 탐색 및 식별은 매우 중요하다. 선박의 탐색은 레이더로 가능하나, 식별은 선박자동식별장치, 통신장비, 시각 등에 의해 이루어지며, 이러한 식별수단이 불능 시 레이더 운용자의 경험과 지식을 바탕으로 선박의 기동특성을 참고하여 식별하는 매우 어려운 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 지속적인 관찰임무를 수행해야 할 선박 탐색요원의 임무를 보조하기 위하여 레이더 상 선박의 기동특성을 이용, 자동식별 및 사고발생 가능성을 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다. 4가지 유형의 선박 정보, 레이더 상 접촉거리 및 침로, 속력을 이용하여 그 특징을 추출하고, SVM을 활용하여 식별 정확도를 평가하였으며, 이를 이용한 자동식별 알고리즘을 통해 사고발생 가능성이 있는 선박을 선별하는 방법을 제시하였다. 실험 결과 90% 이상의 식별 정확도를 보였으며, 실제 사고선박인 세월호의 정보를 자동식별 알고리즘에 적용하여 선별 가능함을 보였다. 이 방법은 다양한 상황에서 선박 탐색요원의 경험과 지식을 효과적으로 보완하고, 다수의 선박 중 관심필요선박을 사전 식별하여 정보를 제공함으로서 탐색요원의 노력을 경감시키고, 문제점을 보다 빨리 인지하는데 도움이 될 것이다.
