We describe the application of a distributed optical fiber sensor based on stimulated Brillouin scattering, as an integrated system for safety monitoring of railway infrastructures. The strain distribution was measured statically and dynamically along 60 meters of rail track, as well as along a 3-m stone arch bridge. We show that, gluing an optical fiber along the rail track, traffic monitoring can be performed in order to identify the train passage over the instrumented sector and determine its running conditions. Furthermore, dynamic and static strain measurements on a rail bridge are reported, aimed to detect potential structural defects. The results indicate that distributed sensing technology represents a valuable tool in railway traffic and safety monitoring.

This study investigated the impact of a safety coaching program on the safety behavior and safety climate among expressway safety patrols. Four to seven patrols from each of the three branches participated in this study. The safety coaching program was developed based on the GROW model, with main contents including recognizing individual differences, exploring safety values, communicating near-misses, providing effective and efficient feedback, employing non-violent communication, and fostering commitment toward safety behaviors. Additionally, each session included self-monitoring and peer review of each item based on a critical behavior checklist developed for this study, with challenging goals set based on the monitoring and review. The safety coaching program comprised six sessions in three branches, while three other branches were assigned as a control group. A non-equivalent control group experimental design was applied. Dependent variables included observed and perceived safety behavior, safety climate, psychological safety, and feedback. The results indicated that the safety coaching program effectively increased patrols' safety behavior and safety climate. Furthermore, psychological safety and feedback improved. These findings suggest that the developed safety coaching program could serve as an alternative method to enhance safety management for expressway safety patrols. Finally, the implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

Safety system including location monitoring system for blasting workers was studied. Positioning performance of the location monitoring system was highly dependent on communication protocol and the number of access points in the blasting cell. RTLS(Real Time Location System) is an important technology to develop the location information of workers and variously used to enhance workers safety. Location monitoring system with Cell-ID and RSSI wireless communication technology was verified to have a proper positioning performance for the steel block application.

The industrial induction motor is widely used in the rotating electrical machine for the transmission of power. It is very reliable equipment, but it could lead to the loss of production and lift when failure occurs. Therefore, the failure data is acquired and analyzed by attaching an exclusive instrument to existing induction motor. However, these instruments could lead to side effects, increasing the production costs, because they are very expensive. The purpose of this study is the development of an induction motor bearing failure diagnosis system constructed using LabVIEW which can be supplied the kernelled function, process monitoring and current signature analysis. In addition, the availability and reasonability of the constructed system was examined for an induction motor with failure defects in outer raceway and ball bearing. From the results, it shows that failure diagnosis system constructed is useful for real-time monitoring with detection of bearing defects over the web.

The feasibility of using AE for monitoring mechanical failure in concrete structures has been tested. Specifically, the relationship between the fracture and the characteristics of AE signal is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The experimental results manifest that the high sensitivity of AE signal to the fracture of concrete structure makes it a good choice as sensor for monitoring concrete structure.

가스계소화설비의 수요는 매해 증가하고 있으나, 늘어나는 수요에 대비한 시스템의 안전성 및 신뢰성등 소화성능에 필요한 안전대책이 미흡하여 사회적인 문제가 되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 가스 소화시스템의 사고발생 원인 중에서 가장 심각한 문제인 소화약제 저장용기에서 발생하는 압력누기는 화재진압의 성패를 좌우하는 중요한 요소로 시급한 대책이 요구되는 문제점로 판단하여 연구를 하였다. 새로 개발한 압력누기감시장치는 화재진압에 중요한 요소인 소화농도와 관련이 있는 저장용기의 약제확보상태와 압력 및 누기, 방출상태 등을 감시하는 장치로 $CO_2$와 HFC-23 시스템에 적용할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 즉, 압력누기감시장치를 가스소화설비에 적용하였을 때 발생할 수 있는 구조적 안전성 분석을 위하여 유체-구조연계해석을 통하여 안전성능을 검증하였다. 해석에 사용한 프로그램으로 전산유체해석은 Mentor Graphics사의 FloEFD 프로그램을 사용하였고, 구조해석 프로그램은 Dassault systems사의 ABAQUS를 사용하였다. 수치해석결과 $CO_2$용의 구조에서는 소성변형이 발생하지 않아 안전성을 확인하였으나 HFC-23용 감시장치에는 소성변형 및 이탈문제가 발생하여 설계수정과 3차례의 수치해석 조건을 수정하여 얻은 데이터를 기본으로 압력누기감시장치의 구조적인 안전성을 확인하였다.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze the current status of possession of measurement and analytical instruments at work environment monitoring organizations and their relationships with human resources, including the number of professional engineers and evaluation scores resulting from evaluation programs in 2012. Materials: Data for measurement and analytical instruments were gathered by inspectors who had been assigned by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency(KOSHA) and the Ministry of Employment and Labor(MoEL) during the evaluation program for 2012. Data for 11 monitoring instruments and nice pieces of analytical equipment were collected from 103 organizations. Additional data such as the type of service provides and the number of professional engineers employed were also recorded by the inspectors. Evaluation scores could be acquired from KOSHA. Results: Comprehensive Occupational Health Service Providers showed good operation quality, while University or Hospital Subsidiary and Work Environment Monitoring Organizations recorded relatively poor results. Evaluation scores correlated well with the possession of measurement instruments and human resources for each organization. High yields provided by professional engineers also showed statistically-associated contributions to evaluation scores and monitoring instrument possession. Compared with monitoring instruments, the amount of analytical equipment had little positive impact on organizations' competence. Conclusions: The evaluation results for domestic monitoring organizations revealed that human resources, possession of instruments, and the quality of employees were critical factors for operating the corporations. Each organization should give considerable effort to improving their ability to strengtheninternal quality, resulting in high-yield production for workers and employers by providing improved workplace monitoring services.
