The number of the lifts installed and used in Korea totals up to 526,676 units as of the end of December 2014, due to the development and urbanization of this country. Since the lift is one of the convenience facilities and especially a kind of essential transportation facilities used by a majority of passengers everyday, it is necessarily required to manage the lift safety. Therefore, this study aims to determine the 5 factors(kinds of lifts, ages of victims, causes of accidents, seasons in accidents, usages of buildings) affecting the types(caught in, trip over, falling, collision) and the injury levels(death, serious injury, minor injury) of the lift accidents based on the analysis of the total victims of 1,514 people due to the 1,146 accidents which have occurred for the past 15 years, and to find the frequency and ratio of each factor in the accidents, and to make a correlation among the factors. As the result of the analysis, it shows that there exists a statistically significant correlation among the factors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status of disasters and initial first aid in the construction industry, and to suggest the deployment of emergency medical technicians and reinforcement of first aid training in the construction industry. Methods: Among industrial accidents in 2020, the accident characteristics and initial first aid that occurred at construction sites were analyzed, and the emergency dispatch of 119 paramedics was analyzed through the SPSS method. Results: The incidence of serious accidents was high at small and medium-sized construction sites with less than 50 workers, and the incidence of falls was high, and there were few first responders who could provide first aid in the beginning. Therefore, it is necessary to improve first aid response capabilities at small construction sites. Conclusion: In order to improve the ability to respond to first aid at construction sites, it is necessary to deploy first responders and strengthen first aid education.

In Korea, more than half of work-related fatalities have occurred on construction sites. To reduce such occupational accidents, safety inspection by government agencies is essential in construction sites that present a high risk of serious accidents. To address this issue, this study developed risk prediction models of serious accidents in construction sites using five machine learning methods: support vector machine, random forest, XGBoost, LightGBM, and AutoML. To this end, 15 proactive information (e.g., number of stories and period of construction) that are usually available prior to construction were considered and two over-sampling techniques (SMOTE and ADASYN) were used to address the problem of class-imbalanced data. The results showed that all machine learning methods achieved 0.876~0.941 in the F1-score with the adoption of over-sampling techniques. LightGBM with ADASYN yielded the best prediction performance in both the F1-score (0.941) and the area under the ROC curve (0.941). The prediction models revealed four major features: number of stories, period of construction, excavation depth, and height. The prediction models developed in this study can be useful both for government agencies in prioritizing construction sites for safety inspection and for construction companies in establishing pre-construction preventive measures.

산업안전보건법 제49조 2에 의거하여 유해$\cdot$위험설비를 보유한 사업장의 사업주는 당해 설비로부터 위험물질의 누출, 화재, 폭발 등으로 인하여 사업장내의 근로자에게 즉시 피해를 주거나 사업장 인근지역에 피해를 줄 수 있는 중대산업사고를 예방하기 위해 사업장이 공정안전관리를 시행해야 한다. 그러나 국내의 많은 화학관련 기업들은 안전관리에 많은 시간과 인력을 투자하는 경향이 증가하였으나 아직까지는 대기업에 소속된 화학공장에 국한되어 있으며, 특히 IMF시대에 중$\cdot$소기업 형태의 화학공장은 자금압박 등의 어려움으로 생산성 향상에 급급한 나머지 안전에 대한 인적$\cdot$물적 투자를 꺼려하는 경향이 지배적이다. 따라서 중$\cdot$소 화학공장이 갖고 있는 경제적, 현실적 문제점을 보완함과 동시에 능동적으로 공정의 안전성을 확보하는데 도움을 줄 수 있는 공정안전관리 시스템을 구축하였다.

정부와 기업에서 추진 중인 다양한 방법의 재해 저감 노력으로 전반적인 산업 재해는 감소 추세에 있으나, 건설업의 추락 재해는 줄어들지 않고 오히려 증가 추세를 보이고 있으다. 이러한 건설업의 재해 중 특히 달비계에 의한 재해는 주로 추락 재해이기 때문에 발생 시 대부분 사망사고에 이르는 중대 재해가 발생된다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 달비계와 관련하여 우선 국내외의 문헌 및 제도 / 규정 분석을 시행하였으며, 그 주요내용은 첫째, 달비계 해외기준을 참고하여 이원화 되어 있거나 규정이 없는 달비계의 규정을 별도로 작성이 요구된다는 사항을 수정하였다. 다음으로, 장비 규정, 작업 사전 계획, 교육, 관리 사항에 대한 안전 계획을 규정에 반영 하였으며, 마지막으로 이러한 안전 계획을 발주자의 주요 책무로 규정화가 필요함을 도출하였다. 아울러 이러한 달비계 재해 저감을 위하여 현장의 관련 사용 실태를 설문 조사 하였으며, 주요 결과를 활용하여 설비개선 및 작업방법 개선으로 재해 다발 요인을 사전에 인지하고, 달비계를 사용하여 공사에 참여하는 작업자 및 관계자, 감독자, 건축주 등이 재해 저감을 위한 공동의 노력을 이행하는 기준이 될 것이다.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious problem not only among workers who experience industrial accidents but also among workers who witness such accidents. Early intervention is needed to prevent prolonged psychological problems. There has been no study conducted regarding the psychological problems of and interventions for bystander workers in Korea. This study introduces the experience of intervention on psychological problems at the Busan Workers' Health Center workers who witnessed their colleagues' death. An investigation and an intervention were conducted according to the Korean Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) Guide. In total, 21 individuals including indirect observers showed statistical differences on scores of the Impact Event Scale Revised and the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 after the intervention. Future interventions and research involving a larger sample size over a longer period are needed. The KOSHA Guide could be a useful tool for urgent psychological intervention in the event of major workplace disasters.

Even though continuous management and supervision of reinforcement of policies to safeguard accidents at workplace and work sites were implemented. Accident prevention activities such as inspection and diagnosis are urgently required to induce a preliminary investigation to identify the risk factors for each type of work, before the work task to eliminate risks at the worksites. Since safety inspections at work sites were generally conducted through visual inspections, the results of safety inspections may vary depending on the findings and proficiency of the safety officers. The results of those inspections may have loopholes to prevent potential accidents at work. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a risk identification checklist that can effectively perform safety inspections to prevent accidents at work sites. This study initially analyzed the previously developed accident checklist to identify current complications and issues in safety checklists. Based on the findings of major industrial accidents over the past three years, the relationship between accident, workplace, and work type were analyzed refereeing the safety inspection standards. A risk recognition-checklist was developed to provide basic data on identifying risk factors, and inspection guidance at work sites. To prepare for potential accidents by identifying and taking countermeasures to mitigate the high risk and serious accidents at sites by the guidelines of the checklist. The developed inspection checklist has been practically used by experts at work sites to perform safety inspections, and it has been verified its suitability, and feasibility, to prevent or mitigate workplace accidents, including securing the safety and health of field workers. The role of the developed safety checklist has been considered effective at worksites.

Recently, elevator inspection and self-examination were strengthened through the revision of the Elevator Safety Management Act, but there have been no significant reduction in serious accidents and major failures. Therefore, the government intends to lay the foundation for reflecting the safety quality rating system, which adjusts the elevator inspection cycle, as a policy to induce safety management of preemptive and active management entities. This study systematically reviewed and classified the safety quality rating system for elevator inspection cycle adjustment in previous studies, collected expert opinions, and reconstructed the key items into realistic evaluation items, and evaluated and scored the relative importance of each factor through the AHP technique.

Demand of LPG and LNG will increase continuously due to high calories, clearness, and convenience for usage. These gases are used widely for power plants, industrial plants, and domestic fuel. But accidents related with gas are increasing in proportion to increment of gas usage. Especially LPG has high ignitability due to weak dispersion to air and accumulation at low place because LPG is heavier than air. There are many hazards during transportation as well as production, storage, and usage of LPG. Commonly, tank lorry is used for inland transportation of LPG. If tank lorry were to raise leakage incidents and then LPG released during transporting, the accidents cause serious effects on the environment as well as human damage of surrounding area. In this study, therefore, hazards which cause LPG of tank lorry to leak during transportation were identified and risk of LPG transportation was assessed quantitatively. Also, the result of this study might be a useful measure for predicting damage and preparing safe transportation strategies of LPG tank lorry.
