  • The purpose of this study is to examine the awareness survey on the life and laboratory safety of the college students. For the research, data was collected from 442 students of health, engineering, fire fighting and food & cook department. Research tools were used SPSS win 19.0, the mean and standard deviation, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used. Comparing the life safety consciousness with laboratory safety consciousness, showed life safety awareness and safety laboratory has recognized the similarities (Pearson's correlation coefficient ${\chi}^2=296.456$, p < 0.001). Results of awareness survey to safety management, the safety awareness are difference with the type of respondents major subjects. This order was Food & Cook > Fire fighting > Health > Engineering department.

  • It is important to provide the farmers with practical and effective information of safety and health for individual crop to prevent or reduce occupational injuries in agricultural sector, since work characteristics and risk factors are not the same for all crops. In this study, risk assessment was carried out for cultivating shiitake mushrooms and then safety measures, which were based on the results of the risk assessment, were summarized and presented as the information of safety and health of shittake farmers. Guidelines for safety and health of the farmers of shiitake mushrooms, which were developed based on the risk assesment and safety measures, can be used by the farmers as self-educational tools or by the agricultural facilitators as an educational material for agricultural safety. It is expected that the guidelines can be useful in preventing occupational injuries of shiitake farmers.

  • This paper is resulted from the research to activate Self-control Safety Management system that adopted to improve an assessment system for Hazard Prevention Plan. And members of company, university and research institute have jointly participated in the research. First, it is investigated that introduced background and processing method with existing practical data & materials references in order to understand what domestic Self-control Safety Management system will be available for. And general construction company at site have their ability to assess Hazard Prevention Plan by mailing questionnaire to on thousand site, visits, and interviews. Also, It is investigated how much they have the assessment ability. It is selected to do a questionnaire survey for the status of self-regulatory safety assessment ability of the designated self-regulatory companies in order to produce and enhance the self-regulatory assessment ability and the necessity of Self-control Safety Management system. Finally, it is selected to do a questionnaire survey for fixing and the enhance Self-control Safety Management system of general construction contractors.

  • This study presents an improved inspection system for slopes adjacent to educational facilities. For this, field investigations for 5 schools and 3 universities were performed to analyze the engineering stability of infrastructures, which ensure the safety of students and educational officers. Educational laws and the relevant enforcement are reviewed to understand the problems of current laws and enforcement. The results reveal that the engineering measures and reinforcement are required for the slopes of 36%. Also, the improvement of social awareness and regular inspection is needed to maintain the educational infrastructures. The suggested inspection system includes the fundamental and detailed checklists and guidance for non-engineering specialists.

  • In this paper we discuss the problems related with the existing electrical safety system that is influenced by all the socio-technical factors including the electrical safety law, government organizations, and their practicing rules and regulations. Sometimes intangible practices also affect the safety issues. It is our intention to incorporate all those factors effectively and systematically in improving the electrical safety system. Since, the problem in nature is so complex, an approach based on the systems engineering (SE) method could be a good candidate. Specifically, as a first step of the SE process we performed the requirements analysis of all the factors mentioned above and some recommendations from the experts in the field. In the work environment utilizing a computer-aided SE tool, the requirements are verified and managed efficiently although the data base is complicated in general in tracking the changes. Next, by analyzing the verified requirements, a functional architecture is developed to achieve an improved electrical safety system. We also did the reverse engineering of the existing electrical safety system to explore potential problems there. The result can also help improve the existing one. Overall, a systematic approach to constructing electrical safety system based on SE is proposed for the first time in this paper. Note that the method described here can be adopted in the study of other safety systems.

  • According to the increase of the requirement for the safety and environmental protection at sea, safety is a core design factor of maritime systems. Safety is defined as a perceived quality that determines to what extent the management, engineering and operation of a system is free of danger to life, property and the environment. There are many possible approaches in dealing with the safety of ships. The risk-based approach is one of the most systematic and reasonable way currently in design, operation and regulatory works for ship safety. This paper proposes a concept of total risk management for ship safety, and introduces a prototype system implemented based on this concept as a framework of design and operation of ships.
