Occupational safety accidents are caused by various factors, and it is difficult to predict when and why they occur, and it is directly related to the lives of workers, so the interest in safety accidents is increasing every year. Therefore, in order to reduce safety accidents at industrial fields, workers are required to wear personal protective equipment. In this paper, we proposes a method to automatically check whether workers are wearing safety helmets among the protective equipment in the industrial field. It detects whether or not the helmet is worn using YOLOv5, a computer vision-based deep learning object detection algorithm. We transfer learning the s model among Yolov5 models with different learning rates and epochs, evaluate the performance, and select the optimal model. The selected model showed a performance of 0.959 mAP.

In this study, 50 ABE-type hard hats were procured from five certified commercial manufacturers, and shock absorption tests were conducted in accordance with Protective Equipment Safety Certification Notice No. 2020-35. The tests were performed under both high- and low-temperature conditions, adhering to safety helmet testing standards. The highest shock transmission ranges were recorded in the tests, with an average energy range of 2,600-4,108 N at high temperatures and 2,316-3,991 N at low temperatures. All five hard hat models demonstrated a maximum transmitted impact force below 4,450 N, without any loss of cap and attachment functionality, confirming their compliance with performance standards. Furthermore, we evaluated the side impact performance of the safety helmets of each company, with an average range of 4,722-5,267 N. Company A exhibited the lowest measurement at 4,722 N. Comparing these results with international safety standards and the national shock absorption test criteria, it was observed that the maximum transmitted shock value using government-specified impact weight falls within the range of 4,450-5,000 N. However, it was noted that developed countries have established specific standards for the side impact forces on safety helmets, which are legally mandated. Consequently, it is imperative for South Korea to enhance its safety helmet side impact performance test methodology to align with domestic standards in the future.

This study was initiated to minimize head injuries, which is the largest cause of increased external activity, traffic accident injuries, and death. We developed a low cost airbag that can be covered by a safety helmet based on consumer needs. The results of the survey showed that safety is the most important aspect of consumers' safety helmets. It also predicted that increasing the weight would present the biggest problem. Curved airbag cushion parts that can be attached to a helmet and the sensor part of a block type were designed. Impact analysis was performed by specifying the pressure inside the airbag and the volume of the airbag as variables.

Value Engineering(VE) has been recognized by many companies as a powerful and innovative technical approach for cost down and improvement in function of product and service. VE is a discipline which use an organized, creative approach to achieve the required function at the lowest cost. For the Purpose of developing new product, at this paper used the method of 2nd look VE developing bike helmet, in the order of selecting target, function analysis and writing alternative. The development of Helmet by the process of VE job plan, achieve the cost reduction of 27 million won for developing new product with customer's need.

본 본문에서는 유한요소법과 다구찌의 최적설계법을 사용하여 헬멧의 모체 구조물에 대한 응력과 변형률 특성을 소재의 특성치, 헬멧의 두께, 보강뼈대의 수량과 두께의 함수로 각각 해석하였다. 소방관과 가스 작업자의 안전성 확보를 위해 필요한 헬멧에 대한 최적화 설계연구는 외부에서 작용하는 충격력에 대한 강도안전성을 높이고, 충격에너지 흡수력을 강화시킬 수 있는 데이터를 제공하기 때문에 대단히 중요하다. 따라서 헬멧 모체 구조물의 균일한 두께는 헬멧 모체의 중량을 감축하고 변형률 에너지를 높여 준다는 측면에서 줄여야 하지만, 헬멧의 보강뼈대의 수량과 두께는 헬멧의 충격강도를 높여준다는 측면에서 늘려주는 최적화 설계가 추진되어야 헬멧의 안전성은 확보된다는 해석결과를 제시하였다.

A motorcycle helmet is the best means to protect the head of bike's driver and it is directly connected to a driver's life. Prior to producing of the helmet, it has to be passed the process of impact test to evaluate of its safety. This test evaluates peak acceleration and H.I.C (Head Injury Criteria). This paper analyzes impact test with finite element method to find the behavior of helmet during the test. Also, the effect of impact sites on the helmet was evaluated to improve the thickness distribution of the helmet.

A motorcycle helmet is very essential to protect the head of driver and it is directly connected to driver's life. Prior to producing the helmet, it has to be passed the process of impact test to evaluate its safety. This test evaluates peak acceleration and head injury criteria (H.I.C.). This paper simulates the impact test with finite element method to find the behavior of helmet during the test. Also, the effect of impact sites on the helmet was evaluated to improve the thickness distribution of the helmet.

본 논문에서는 Personal Mobility에 사용되는 스마트헬멧의 안전성 보강을 제안한다. 주요 내용은 헬멧이 안전 신호를 보낼 수 있도록 아두이노를 베이스로 사용하여 초음파 센서를 활용한 거리별, 각도별 변화에 따라 센서의 값을 설정하여 오차를 최소화하여 원활한 인식이 되도록 하였다. 또한, 자이로센서를 활용하여 각 기울기에 따른 방향지시등이 점등되도록 하였다. CDS 센서를 이용하여 야간에 150 lux 이하로 내려갈 시 LED가 점등되도록 설계하였다. 최종적으로 5cm 이내에서 헬멧 착용 여부를 확인할 수 있으며, 평균속도 주행 시 10도에서 방향지시등이 점등되며, 150lux 이하에서 LED가 점등됨을 확인하였다.

The helmet is an imperative personal protective equipment. This protective device must be able to guard the human head against potential risks. Helmets are classified according into the purpose of use; therefore, the required performance and specifications depend on the type of products. Military helmets are intended to protect the wearer's head from bullets and shrapnel. Generally, lightweight super fibers and fiber reinforced composite materials are used as helmet shell materials, and NIJ STD of U.S. Department of Justice is most widely used as international standard related to bulletproof helmets. Safety helmets are widely used for industrial application and sports leisure. In general, the performance of shock absorption must be ensured, and various lining systems are applied in material, design, and combination methods. Evaluation standards have also been classified and strictly controlled for each purpose; therefore, it is difficult to certify with the existing standards such as the recently developed convergence helmets. However, it is possible to launch the product through a separate national integrated certification procedure.

The leading source of occupational fatalities is a portable ladder in Korea because it is widely used in industry as work platform. In order to reduce victims, it is necessary to establish preventive measures for the accidents caused by portable ladder. Therefore, this study statistically analyzed injury death by portable ladder for recent 10 years to investigate the accident characteristics. Next, to monitor wearing of safety helmet in real-time while working on a portable ladder, this study developed an object detection model based on the You Only Look Once(YOLO) architecture, which can accurately detect objects within a reasonable time. The model was trained on 6,023 images with/without ladders and safety helmets. The performance of the proposed detection model was 0.795 for F1 score and 0.843 for mean average precision. In addition, the proposed model processed at least 25 frames per second which make the model suitable for real-time application.
