  • Recently, according to the rapid development of computer and electronic technology, most crude oil carriers adopt automated cargo handling system. But an excessive automation makes system so complicate that it could increase the Possibility of accidents due to human error. Although a cargo handling process is done by an expert, the potential of accidents by human factor lies through the whole cargo handling procedure and the current automated system lacks of the functionality to prevent a mis-operation and diagnose the abnormal status of the system. Because the oil concerned accident could be almost a disaster, the primary goal of system development should not be a fully automated system but be a perfectly safe system. This paper deals with the analysis and design of an expert system which can provide mariner with the operational guidance and the facility of crisis management by monitoring system's abnormal condition and human's mis-operation.

  • Background: An increasing trend of cytotoxic drug use, mainly in cancer treatment, has increased the occupational exposure among the nurses. This study aimed to assess the change of nurses' safety-related knowledge as well as attitude levels and subsequently to assess the change of cytotoxic drug handling practices in wards after a series of pharmacist-based interventions. Materials and Methods: This prospective interventional study with a before and after design requested a single group of 96 nurses in 15 wards actively providing chemotherapy to answer a self-administered questionnaire. A performance checklist was then used to determine the compliance of all these wards with the recommended safety measures. The first and second assessments took 2 months respectively with a 9-month intervention period. Pharmacist-based interventions included a series of technical, educational and administrative support measures consisting of the initiation of closed-system cytotoxic drug reconstitution (CDR) services, courses, training workshops and guideline updates. Results: The mean age of nurses was $32.2{\pm}6.19$ years. Most of them were female (93.8%) and married (72.9%). The mean knowledge score of nurses was significantly increased from $45.5{\pm}10.52$ to $73.4{\pm}8.88$ out of 100 (p<0.001) at the end of the second assessment. Overall, the mean practice score among the wards was improved from $7.6{\pm}5.51$ to $15.3{\pm}2.55$ out of 20 (p<0.001). Conclusions: The pharmacist-based interventions improved the knowledge, attitude and safe practices of nurses in cytotoxic drug handling. Further assessment may help to confirm the sustainability of the improved practices.

  • The Chemical Control Act of 2015 was enhanced to ensure the safe management of hazardous chemicals. In particular, there have been substantial changes in the standards for the installation and management of handling facilities for manufacturing and storing hazardous chemicals. However, some standards for handling facilities are difficult to implement due to a lack of physical space or because of safety accidents during facility improvements. Therefore, the Safety assessment system (SAS) has been operating for such facilities since 2018. This study developed a leakage trajectory evaluation module that can easily evaluate the outside of a dike for safety evaluation. We analyzed two case studies on a dike for hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid storage tanks with this module and suggest a reasonable plan for the facility. We believe that it will be possible to more easily submit SAS reports at chemical plants by using this evaluation module. This study is expected to contribute to the improvement of the safety design of hazardous chemical handling facilities.

  • Almost accidents in construction sites are occurred by unsafe work conditions and failure making safe environment. As recent construction projects become more complex, various and diversified, So the potential of construction-related accidents is increased as well. Comparing the frequency of construction-related accidents in large-sized construction sites, small-sized construction sites are more vulnerable because of lack of workforce and less effective technology system. Furthermore, the absence of safety committee, poor financial condition leads to lack of safety education, installation of safety facilities, and provision of individual protective equipment, which indicates difficulties handling even basic safety management. Therefore, in order to lower the hazard rate at small-Sized construction sites, it is necessary to proceed with more structural and thorough actions for preventing accidents. In other words, it is necessary to analyze the causes of the accidents at small-sized construction sites, set criteria for safety management, and suggest safety management items according to work classification by evaluating the relative importance of the items.

  • This study investigates open-source dynamic XSS filters used as security devices in web applications to account for the effectiveness of filters in protecting against XSS attacks. The experiment involves twelve representative filters, which are examined individually by placing them into the final output function of a custom-built single-input-form web application. To assess the effectiveness of the filters in their tasks of sanitizing XSS payloads and in preserving benign payloads, a black-box testing method is applied using an automated XSS testing framework. The result in working with malicious and benign payloads shows an important trade-off in the filters' tasks. Because the filters that only check for dangerous or safe elements, they seem to neglect to validate their values. As some safe values are mistreated as dangerous elements, their benign payload function is lost in the way. For the filters to be more effective, it is suggested that they should be able to validate the respective values of malicious and benign payloads; thus, minimizing the trade-off. This particular assessment of XSS filters provides important insight regarding the filters that can be used to mitigate threats, including the possible configurations to improve them in handling both malicious and benign payloads.

  • Nowadays LNG has been beginning to take the place of petroleum as fuel all over the world and VLCC of LNG will take the same sea routes that had been used by VLCC tankers of petroleum in the last part of the 20th century. The transportation of LNG by a VLCC include more dangerous nature of sea peril than that of petroleum. We already know the dimensions of a disaster a LNG tanker could bring about in the case of the LNG tanker, Yuyo-Maru No. 10 in the Tokyo Bay of Japan in 1974. From the point of safety when we construct a LNG base or LNG pier in the base, the appropriate government authority and constructing company had better take sea pilots or some ships handling experts to participate in a prior consultation of the design of the project. A G/T 100,000 ton LNG base and pier were completed in November of 1996 in Inchon harbour in Korea and VLCC of LNG of G/T 100,000 ton class have been entering into the base ever since. This study was started and completed In comply with the requisition of the Sea Pilot Association of Inchon harbour in advance of the opening of the LNG base. As the entrance and exit channels leading to Inchon harbour were constructed in the years of 1930s, it was one of the most pressing works for Inchon sea pilots in 1996 to certify the method of safe passing maneuvering of a G/T 100,000 ton of LNG tanker through the Pudo narrow channel prior to commencing actual piloting of the VLCC of LNG. The authors made some mathematical models computing maneuvering of a vessel changing her course with her control surface through a narrow channel and computed maneuvering of a G/T 100,000 ton of LNG tanker and also made maneuvering simulations of the vessel by a desk-top simulator. The results of computations and simulations are well coincided with each other in qualitative aspects to assure safe passing of the VLCC of LNG.
