The need for risk based safety management has been highlighted in accordance with the growth of aviation industry and public interest in aviation safety. Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) in aviation industry is defined to guarantee the safety and reliability. Therefore, state's Civil Airworthiness Authority (CAA) has established safety oversight system dedicated for the development of a healthy MRO industry. The study proposed a risk based oversight system considering Korean environment. Based on literature review including analysis of International Civil Aviation Organization guidance and advance system, we identified two organization risks. Organization complexity can be evaluated in accordance with how large the organization is and how complicated the service they provide are. Organization profile is the organization's characteristic related with safety. This study contributes to improving the process of identifying risk of organization and focusing surveillance capabilities on risk areas for efficient management of CAA's resources.

In this study, we explored the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Safety Organization Scale (K-SOS). The SOS is based on the principles of a high-reliability organization and is an effective measure of the self-reported behaviors underlying the safety culture of an organization. We conducted a methodological study to examine the validity and reliability of the 9-item SOS translated into Korean. The data of 108 nurses working in three general hospitals with more than 100 beds located in D City were included. Content validity, construct validity, criterion validity, and reliability were evaluated. The results confirmed that the K-SOS is a unidimensional structure scale. Higher K-SOS scores exhibited a significant correlation with Hospital Survey On Patient Safety Culture, thus indicating the validity of the criterion. The internal consistency of the K-SOS was acceptable. Thus, the K-SOS is a reliable self-report scale for directly measuring the safety behaviors of an organization. The K-SOS can be used to improve patient safety in Korean hospital settings.

Results: An occupational safety and health administration is characterized by a professional and technical nature, and even more so in modern society. Therefore the greatest value required by an occupational safety and health administrative organization is expertise. In addition, administrative values it requires include efficiency, specificity, independence, and activity. The Korean occupational safety and health administrative organization has a number of problems in terms of these values. The most appropriate way to realize these values is to establish an Occupational Safety and Health Executive. It is desirable to establish such an Occupational Safety and Health Executive in a phased manner taking into consideration its relationship with Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency(KOSHA), including KOSHA's functional adjustment Conclusions: In order to solve the deep-seated problems in occupational safety and health administrative organization and to advance occupational safety and health administration in Korea, it is necessary to establish an Occupational Safety and Health Executive as a foundation for achieving an advanced industrial safety and health administration.
