  • Due to the increase in awareness of school safety after the Sewol ferry disaster, it became necessary to improve the capability to prevent a safety accident at school and to respond to an accident in the case of emergency as well as the awareness of safety issues. Therefore, it is necessary for educational institutions to reinforce safety measures autonomously, and the importance of supports and cooperation from agencies related to the safety of local community is also emphasized. However, it is quite difficult for schools and the Office of Education to prevent safety accidents only with their own capability, and safety accidents can be prevented through the supports from agencies involved in safety of local communities. Therefore, the status and cooperation system of educational institutions and relevant authorities were reviewed theoretically in this study. In addition, a field investigation was carried out to examine the awareness of disaster and safety, and cooperation status of officials in charge of practical disaster-related works. Moreover, this study intended to present a measure to establish the safety cooperation system between educational institutions and agencies involved in safety of local community in the future based on the findings.

  • The number of accidents is raising every year and severity is also increasing. A lot of studies are interested in the leading indicator such as safety culture or safety audit to reduce accidents. In particular, the studies on safety awareness are actively conducted. However, these studies showed that there was consciousness of scapegoatism which to pass responsibility of accident causes to others regardless of safety awareness. It means that there are probability about overestimating and making light of unsafe condition and act which have to manage and control. Eventually, the direct causes which lead to the fatal accident may be consistently arisen. Nevertheless, researches about consciousness of scapegoatism are shortage. Therefore, this study proposed the means to investigate the relationship between consciousness of scapegoatism and accidents through report from KOSHA and conducts the survey with suggested means. This paper will contribute to prevent accidents by identifying relationship between consciousness of scapegoatism and accidents.

  • This paper aims to reduce the frequency of dangerous goods storage accidents in China. Advocating the managers of warehousing and logistics enterprises to pay attention to the operation process of dangerous goods warehousing business. Improving the safe storage and management capabilities of dangerous goods warehouses. This article first collects official data on dangerous goods storage accidents in China and conducts a general statistical analysis of the accidents. Based on the results of accident statistics and related literature research on dangerous goods storage management, establish a dangerous goods storage safety management factor system, use the analytic hierarchy process, establish a factor importance questionnaire and implement data collection. Through statistics, this paper finds that the storage accidents of dangerous goods in China in the past ten years mainly occurred in the inbound phase of dangerous goods and the storage phase of dangerous goods warehouses. Through the results of the analytic hierarchy process, it is found that the professionalism of the dangerous goods storage practitioners, the compliance of the practitioners with safety regulations, and the awareness of operational safety are the most important.

  • This study was conducted to identify the factors influencing patient safety behavior and performance of infection control in nursing students. This study was a descriptive survey based on data collected from August 28, 2017, to September 22, 2017 from 174 third and fourth year nursing students at E university located in S city of Gyeonggi. The collected data were analyzed using the PASW 23.0 program to conduct an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, post-hoc Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression. The average scores of patient safety behavior and performance of infection control were $4.00{\pm}0.55$ and $4.31{\pm}0.50$, respectively. Patient safety behavior and performance of infection control showed a strong positive correlation. Patient safety behavior was positively influenced by confidence levels of patient safety and awareness of the infection control, and the explanatory power of the model (R2)[ED highlight - should this be R2? If so, change throughout the paper.] was 55.1%. Predictors of the performance of infection control were patient safety knowledge, confidence levels regarding patient safety, and awareness of infection control, and the R2 was 68.1%. Common factors influencing patient safety behavior and infection control performance were patient safety confidence and development of effective clinical practicum education programs to increase confidence in patient safety and infection control.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the food hygiene and safety awareness of academic and specialized high school students, in order to provide basic materials characterization and demonstrate the need for differentiated food hygiene safety education by type of school in the Chungnam area. This study shows that the academic high school students attach more importance to Food Hygiene and Safety than the specialized high school students, but that the latter think it is easier get information about food safety and are more confident in choosing safe food than the former. Regardless of the type of school, 50.5% and 49.3% of the students believed that the safety of the agricultural and livestock products and processed food distributed for sale in the country is acceptable, respectively. 40.7% and 17.2% of the students answered that school food hygiene safety education is required and strongly required, respectively. Compared to the specialized high school students (average 3.17), the academic high school students (average 2.81) responded that they did not receive sufficient food safety education. Those students who were confident in choosing safe food showed a positive correlation with those who were confident in the hygienic handling of food (r = .662) and with those who have sufficient education on food safety (r = .504). We suggest that different food hygiene safety education is needed by academic and specialized high school students until they have sufficient confidence in the hygienic choosing and handling of food.

  • The purpose of this research is to confirm the degree of awareness, knowledge and attitude for the safety management of patients in elderly care facilities, to investigate the factors that affect the safety performance of patients by nursing caregivers, and to provide basic material for the development of educational programs for strengthening performance. The research target audience was 142 nursing caregivers working in the G metropolitan city and S city elderly care facilities, and the data collected from 7/10/2020 to 7/28/2020, were analyzed with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. The ability of a nursing caregiver to perform patient safety is increasing as a result of higher education, higher patient safety awareness, and also more positive attitude towards patient safety. The major factors that affect the safety performance of patients by nursing caregivers were attitude toward patient safety, patient safety awareness, and the amount of participation in patient safety education. It's explanatory power was 26.9%. Based on the results of this research, we propose a study to confirm the positive effects of patient safety consciousness and attitude by confirming the education program completed by nursing caregivers and systematizing the education method and design in the education program of nursing caregivers.
