  • With the increase of pesticide consumption, not only pesticide handling population would grow greater but also the chances to be exposed to the pesticides would be also increased. Thus, safe use and handling of the pesticides are becoming more important and serious in these days. The pesticides are well known to most pepole, however there are very limited number of persons who have correct understanding of chamicals. Intoxication cases caused by pesticides have been reported very rarely through the mess media, even they were lack of scientific evidences. In this paper, problems related to pesticide manufacture, transportation, storage, sprays, and residues and their countermeasures were discussed in connection with public health and enviromental aspects. Acute intoxication cases by pesticide handling might be caused accidently either through manufacture, marketing, transportation, or spraying. Safety aspects of workers in manufacturing plants include not only exposure to toxic chemicals, but also posibilities of of explosion and brought about by pesticides and their diluents. The problems of water pollution by waste chemicals from the manufacturing factories were discussed. Packing and loading methods of pesticides for transportation are considered in safety scheme and discussions are given in association with traffic accidents. With regard to warehouse, the pesticide storage, location structure, keepers, and standing materials for emergency are concerned with safety aspects. Concerning the spraying of chemicals, there are some problems to be discussed about clothes, spray equipment, wind direction, spray period, and spray workers condition. After the spray, treatment of used containers, remainder of Pesticides, and spray tools are also discussed. For the dissolutions of problems on public health and environmental danger arising from pesticide residues, there are two legal sanctions; 'Pesticide Tolerances' and 'Pesticide Safe Use Standards'. These regulations are legally effective, however, some problems still remain in practices to implement the acts properly, because these provisions are followed by the far mers mostly. With these regards, most problems are concerned with various sectors and persons, affecting public health and environment from the producers to the end users and consumers. As a whole persons concerned with pesticides, every possible effort has to be assembled to protect hazards from the chemicals. For the foremost place, special training and education are required for managing groups; such as factory managers and agricultural extension workers who are responsible for training the factory workers and farmers. The education is the only way to solve the hazard problems caused by the pesticides.

  • 어업 종사자들은 기계화의 진전으로 인한 빈번한 기계사용과 자연이나 동식물의 직접적인 접촉으로 인하여 작업 중 재해나 질병의 위험이 다른 직종에 비해서 결코 작지 않으며, 인력이 고령화되는 것은 산업안전 및 의건 분야에 있어서 질병이나 재해가 증가할 수 있다는 가능성을 강력하게 시사한다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 어업에 대한 안전 및 보건 실태 파악과 이에 대한 대책을 마련할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구는 영동지역 동해안의 대표적인 어항인 주문진, 거진항을 중심으로 배가 들어오는 새벽 6시에서 마지막 배가 들어오는 오전 11시까지 어획한 물고기를 하역한 후 뒷정리를 하는 근로자들을 대상으로 산재현황에 대해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 전체 응답자는 96명이었다. 설문 결과 어업 작업 중 사고가 있었다고 응답한 경우가 7명이었고 그 중에서도 4일 이상 입원하였다고 한 경우도 5명으로 5.2%였다. 부상 종류는 골절상이 1명, 손가락 절단이 2명, 타박상이 4명이었다. 부상 원인은 안전의식 부족과 작업 조건 불안정으로 풀이된다. 따라서 작업 과정에서 나타나는 유해인자, 특히 인간공학적 측면에서의 대책과 평가가 중요하며 이를 위해서는 좀 더 규모가 큰 추후연구가 필요하다. 아직까지 1차 산업에 대한 안전 및 보건 분야에 대한 연구가 부족한 현실이며 근로자의 건강을 보호하기 위한 제도적 장치가 미비하다. 이 연구결과를 토대로 어업에 종사하는 근로자에 대해 지속적인 관심을 갖고 현실적인 대책을 구체화시킬 필요가 있다.

  • 본 연구는 고령사회를 앞두고 증가하고 있는 노인들의 자동차 운전에 대한 실태를 확인하고 향후 노인들의 안전한 자동차 운전에 대한 연구를 하는데 기초적인 자료로 사용하고자 하는 목적을 가지고 있다. P시에 소재하고 있는 노인복지관을 이용하고 있는 노인 128명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사를 통해서 노인들의 자가운전 현황을 파악하고, 자가운전을 하고 있다고 응답한 41명의 노인들을 대상으로 인지기능을 확인할 수 있는 한국판 몬트리올 인지기능평가(Montreal Cognitive Assessment Korean Version; MoCA-K)와 신경행동학적 인지상태 검사(neurobehavioral cognitive status examination; NCSE)를 실시하였다. 연구결과 대상 노인의 32%가 자동차운전을 하고 있었으며 매일 운전을 하는 경우(56.1%)가 가장 많고, 운전시간은 하루 1-2시간 정도(56.1%) 운전을 하는 경우가 가장 많았다. 차량사용목적으로는 여가활동(46.3%)에 많이 이용을 하였으며, 사고경험이 있는 노인은 31.7%였다. 인지기능검사 결과 개인에 따라서 특정항목에서 평균이하의 점수를 획득하는 경우가 있어 안전한 자동차 운전에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 노인들의 안전한 자동차 운전을 위해서는 노인의 감소된 능력을 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 체계적인 평가시스템과 부족한 부분에 대해서 보완할 수 있는 운전재교육시스템의 의무화가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 향후 운전면허관리제도 및 갱신과 같은 노인의 운전을 위한 정부차원의 제도적 접근도 필요할 것이다.

  • In this paper, we propose the controllability function and service design to efficiently implement the control of the disaster communication network, using Internet of Things(IoT) Technology. In accordance with the spread of Information Communication Technology(ICT), the era for building a disaster communications system without exclusion over the entire areas has emerged. National wireless mesh networks for public safety and disaster relief have been evolving to strengthen the pre-disaster response system using the latest technologies through the convergence of various technologies and services from the viewpoint of the command and control between disaster response agencies. In line with such a technological paradigm shift, the controllability of the objects in the IoT has been emerging as a key quality requirement of a disaster communications system. In this study, the objects are classified by the subject of control according to the IoT component, such as data, network resources and services in order to effectively implement their controllability. In addition, based on the destination of this controllability, technologies and services have been designed that can reduce the damage caused by disasters. Technologies and services that were derived from this study must be implemented in the current disaster safety network systems together with the establishment of an infrastructure for the networks in order that all persons are able to effectively utilize the disaster communications system for their safety.

  • As workplace incidents has been being declining in Korea, there is criticism of the effectiveness of occupational safety policy implementation. It is unknown that which policy target group needs to be targeted to yield effective injuries prevention. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and reveal the policy intervention group with a high priority in terms of industrial incident prevention and the related investment cost. A Policy Priority Model(PPM) is composed of 6 indicators regarding influences of both the incident reduction and the cost reduction. Z-score analyses are used to confirm the high policy priority area or policy target group. Overall, workplace with worker below 50 persons, construction site with the sales of more than a hundred million won, workplace with relatively small percentage of female employees and relatively higher percentage of older worker should be prioritized to reduce workplace injuries. This paper provides an analytic way that can be used to decide the policy priority workplace in order not only to reduce work-related injuries&illnesses and the related investment cost but to further lessen the related societal costs.

  • Background: The type of payment is one of the important factors that has an effect on the health of employees, as a basic working condition. In the conventional research field of occupational safety and health, only the physical, chemical, biological, and ergonomic factors are treated as the main hazardous factors. Managerial factors and basic working conditions such as working hours and the type of payment are neglected. This paper aimed to investigate the association of the type of payment and the exposure to the various hazardous factors as an heuristic study. Methods: The third Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) by the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute in 2011 was used for this study. Among the total sample of 50,032 economically active persons, 34,788 employees were considered for analysis. This study examined the relation between the three types of payment such as basic fixed salary and wage, piece rate, and extra payment for bad and dangerous working conditions and exposure to hazardous factors like vibration, noise, temperature, chemical contact, and working at very high speeds. Multivariate regression analysis was used to measure the effect of the type of payment on working hours exposed to hazards. Results: The result showed that the proportion of employees with a basic fixed salary was 94.5%, the proportion with piece rates was 38.6%, and the proportion who received extra payment for hazardous working conditions was 11.7%. Conclusion: The piece rate was associated with exposure to working with tight deadlines and stressful jobs. This study had some limitations because KWCS was a cross-sectional survey.

  • Purpose: It is necessary to prepare more groundbreaking measures to prevent recurrence in order to reduce the number of industrial accidents in Korea that occur steadily. In particular, since workers with disabilities are much more vulnerable to disaster safety than non-disabled workers, there is a great need to build a customized safety environment system suitable for the characteristics of the work in which workers with disabilities work and to promote management efficiency. Research design, data and methodology: Based on the analysis of the actual status of safety and health management of workplaces for the disabled, such as small, medium-sized and major businesses in Korea, an app was designed and developed to improve safety and health management efficiency of workplaces for the disabled. First, it was designed so that managers of workplaces with disabilities can understand at a glance key legal information that managers need to know and it was improved to suit the eye level of disabled workers so that they could self-evaluate the risk of their work by applying the risk assessment model for workplaces with disabilities. In addition, a mobile education environment was created in which safety and health education contents suitable for the characteristics of disabled workers can be learned by themselves. Results: When this app is applied to domestic workplaces, it is possible to check the exact contents of occupational safety and health education and easily search and check various legal information anytime, anywhere, allowing managers and disabled workers to quickly and efficiently manage various safety information. Conclusions: In addition, the establishment of a mobile safety and health management system that can quickly identify and clearly respond to various legal standards and risks of workplaces with disabilities can be expected to help prevent industrial accidents at workplaces with disabilities in Korea.

  • There are growing needs for improving the general performances of the domestic working environment evaluation organizations. For this purpose, introduction of laboratory accreditation program has been suggested. This study was conducted as a part of this effort. With a questionnaire developed in accordance with the ISO/IEC 17025, the current status of industrial hygiene (IH) laboratories in terms of manpower, management and technical aspects. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The average working staffs' number of the working environment evaluation organizations was $6.8{\pm}3.3$ persons. In addition, 49% of all organizations are run by less than 5 persons. This suggests that manpower of Korean IH laboratories is very limited. 2. IH laboratories surveyed in this study obtained 53% of the points by the international standard. And there is significant correlation between the number of staffing and total scores (P<0.05). 3. The period of work experience is one of the most important factors to determine the working capability. The average year of work experience of the laboratories' directors was $13.5{\pm}5.3$ years. Directors with more wok experiences obtained higher scores on the questions that ask to prove the appropriateness of the research methodology (p<0.05). 4. As for academic qualifications of laboratory directors, 14% had Ph.D., 31% with Master's, 29% with Bachelor's, and 4% had Associate degree. There was significant correlation between the total scores and the general managers' academic background (p<0.05). The 27% of laboratory directors have majored in either industrial hygiene or health, 8% majored in medicine, another 8% majored environmental studies, and 6% majored in chemistry. 5. Only 14% of all IH laboratories surveyed employ directors with Certified Industrial Hygienist licence, 41% have general managers with Certified Associate Industrial Hygienist (Level 1) licence, and 45% of all laboratories either employ directors without relevant qualification or did not respond. When the laboratory manger holds relevant qualification, laboratory health and safety management was better (p<0.05). 6. When compared to the general international standard in terms of the management, and 55% in terms of technological level.

  • Vessel collision accidents have been investigated by means of questioning the persons involved and plotting manually the stated situation. But the repetitive plotting by hand can cause the investigator to make some errors, and it can be connected to a wrong judgement. In this paper, we proposed a simulator for reconstructing and analyzing vessel collision accidents at sea, where the given situation is plotted automatically on it. We verified validity of the system by applying it to some collision accidents.
