  • Safety at sea continues to be an important topic for research. The factors that contribute to safety issues are often complex and unclear. Lack of non-technical skills in such areas as communication, teamworking, situational awareness, decision making etc. are well documented as directly affecting safety in high risk work settings such as on board merchant vessels. Competence in non-technical skills can be affected by various habits and circumstances that influence a worker and result in either positive thinking and behaviour or negative thinking and behaviour. Negative thinking can cause stress, anger, frustration; loneliness etc. and this can possibly result in behaviour or actions that undermine the safety of crew and ship. Factors that may contribute to these negative thoughts and behaviours are many and varied and this paper will be looking at one aspect: mobile phone use. In the Republic of Korea, dependency on mobile phones is uniquely high. Maritime students are also susceptible to such dependency and this paper will demonstrate that the symptoms associated with mobile phone addiction and dependency, and in particular the symptoms of withdrawal, are important factors that need to be mitigated in order to improve safety at sea. Although the benefits of mobile phones are many it will be suggested that over-reliance, dependency or addiction can result in negative thinking or behaviour that may directly or indirectly contribute to the factors that cause incidents and accidents at sea. It will be suggested that the most appropriate method of dealing with this problem is twofold: firstly, through training at the educational level and secondly, by encouraging the shipping industry and government to invest more into providing seafarers with better access to the communication methods that they are used to on shore in order to improve work conditions.

  • Background: Some researchers state that they are not yet able to provide a deep understanding of the underlying causes of unsafe behaviors (UBs). Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the attitudes and experiences of Iranian workers of UBs. Methods: This present study was conducted in 35 industries using a semistructured interview based on grounded theory. Forty participants were interviewed, including 13 industrial safety and health experts and 27 workers and supervisors. The analysis of the present study consisted of a three-step coding process including open, axial, and selective coding. Results: The results showed that the factors affecting UBs could be classified into three categories: organizational, individual, and socioeconomic factors. Organizational factors were divided into 6 parts: procedure and environmental conditions, communications, monitoring, organizational safety culture, resource allocation, and human resources. Socioeconomic factors had three subcategories: community safety culture, type of organizational ownership, and economic problems. Finally, the individual factors were classified into two categories of personality traits and individual competence. Conclusion: The results showed that organizational factors were the most categorized, and it is estimated that this factor has a more important role in the UBs. Of course, to better understand the close relationship between these factors and find the weight and importance of each factor, it needs to measure it with multicriteria decision systems.

  • Background: The industrial revolution that took place in the United Kingdom (UK) between 1760 and 1830 led to profound social change. Occupational medicine was concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of occupational diseases, that is, diseases directly caused by exposure to workplace hazards. A similar pattern of development has occurred globally. Methods: A review of relevant literature. Results: The international conceptualization and development of occupational health occurred during the 20th century. A new paradigm for occupational health has emerged that extends the classical focus on what might be termed "health risk management" that is, the focus on workplace hazards and risk to health to include the medical aspects of sickness absence and rehabilitation, the support and management of chronic noncommunicable diseases, and workplace health promotion. Conclusion: The future strategic direction for occupational health will be informed by a needs analysis and a consideration of where it should be positioned within future healthcare provision. What are the occupational health workforce implications of the vision for occupational health provision? New challenges and new ways of working will necessitate a review of the competence and capacity of the occupational health workforce, with implications for future workforce planning.

  • 민간 항공기에는 기장과 부기장이 반드시 탑승해야 한다. 일반적으로 기장은 항공기 운항 중 위난방지에 관한 역할과 책임을 이행하고, 부기장은 기장을 보좌하거나 조언하는 기능을 담당한다. 역사적으로 70%~80%의 항공기 사고가 조종사 인적요인에 의하여 발생함에 따라 전 세계적으로 CRM (crew resource management)이라는 운항관리기법을 도입하여 운영하고 있다. 한편 안전행동은 지식과 기술을 사용하여 위험으로부터 보호하려는 인간의 행동이며, 항공기 조종실에서 운항업무를 수행하는 기장과 부기장은 각각의 역할과 책임, 그리고 경험의 차이에 따라 안전행동의 수준 또한 다를 것으로 예상된다. 선행연구는 조종사의 안전행동이 기술적 능력에 영향을 받기보다 CRM skill과 같은 비기술적 요소에 영향을 받는다고 하였으며, 본 연구는 기장과 부기장의 CRM 역량 차이를 파악하고 그 차이가 안전행동과의 상관관계를 가지고 있는지를 검증하고자 수행되었다.

  • 이 연구는 아파트 거주자의 안전교육 만족도와 소방계획서의 활용성이 화재안전의식에 미치는 영향을 규명하는데 주된 목적이 있다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 안전교육내용의 만족도가 낮으며 화재안전의식수준에 부(-)의 영향을 미쳤다. 이는 아파트 거주자의 안전교육내용의 흥미나 참여가 낮을수록 화재안전의식에도 영향을 미쳐 화재로부터 안전성 확보에 대처하지 못하는 것으로 관리 주체에서는 안전교육의 만족 및 안전문화의 정착을 위해 학습지원 정보시스템 등으로 교육의 만족도에 긍정적인 영향이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 둘째, 소방계획서의 활용성이 화재안전의식에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 결과는 아파트 거주자는 안전에 필요한 교육 및 훈련에 접근하는 기회가 없을 뿐 아니라 의무적으로 수료하는 법적인 책임감이 없어 화재안전의식이 부족하므로 관리 주체에서 소방계획서에 의한 운영강화 및 활성화로 거주자의 참여나 화재안전의식을 고취해 화재로부터 안전한 주거 생활이 되도록 대처하여야 할 것이다. 셋째, 아파트 거주자의 안전교육 만족이 화재안전의식에 미치는 영향에 대해 소방계획서의 활용성은 조절효과가 나타났다. 이는 안전교육 만족도가 높아지면 화재안전의식도 높았지만, 아파트 거주자와 관리주체의 직원이 일체가 되어 소방계획서에 의한 업무를 시행하고 참여가 높을 때 화재안전의식에도 긍정적인 효과로 나타나므로 소방계획서의 운영과 안전교육 만족도가 높을수록 화재안전의식도 높아져 주거 생활에 영향력이 높아짐을 보여준다.

  • Background: It is acknowledged that legislation acts as a motivator for organizational action on psychosocial risks. Our study aims to provide evidence on the relationship between key occupational safety and health (OSH) policy principles and organizational action on work-related stress, and, in turn, with reported employee job demands and resources and their experience of work-related stress. We focus on Italy where specific legislation and practices on work-related stress were introduced in 2008 which are underpinned by these key OSH policy principles. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Italian samples from the employer ESENER-2 and employee 6th EWCS surveys was conducted, using path analysis in structural equation modeling (SEM) linking the two datasets. Results: We found a strong statistically significant relationship between OSH policy principles and organizational action on work-related stress (C.I. = .62-.78 p < .001). The existence of an organizational action plan on work-related stress was found to be significantly associated with more reported job resources (C.I. = .02-.24, p < .05) but these were not found to be significantly associated with less work-related stress. No significant association was found between having an organizational action plan for work-related stress and reported job demands. However, job demands were significantly related to reported work-related stress (C.I. = .27-.47, p < .001). Conclusions: Findings add support to the call for specific legislation on work-related psychosocial risks and highlight how an organizational OSH culture underpinned by key OSH principles, and awareness/competence development on psychosocial risk management can have a positive effect on organizational action. However, further support needs to be provided to organizations around developing primary prevention interventions at the organizational level with the aim of reducing job demands.

  • The educational process and result of onboard training should be evaluated according to the 1995 Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch-keeping for seafarers(STCW), 1978. In particular, the revised Convention requires that a trainee's seagoing service must be recorded in each cadet's Training Record Book approved by the maritime administration responsible for the issuance of certificates of competency. Trainees for certification under regulation III/1 of the STCW Convention are required to complete an approved on-board training programme. The purpose of this paper is to understand the compliance of the education for an approved on-board training programme. The questionnaire was distributed among 110 cadets being trained on board the training ship of the maritime college of the Mokpo National Maritime University. In this study, we conducted the questionnaire survey which is related to the on-board training programme such as marine engineering; controlling the operation of the ship and care for persons on board; electrical, electronic and control engineering; etc. The survey revealed that onboard training program was normally satisfactory, however, lack of practical training tools and time have accounted for most of the reasons for dissatisfaction. Therefore, it is our goal to enhance the satisfactory value of onboard training education by analyzing the reason of the dissatisfaction.
