This study was designed to investigate qualitatively whether respirators now being used in workplaces tit workers iflfaces well or not. Leak sites were determined after exposing the subjects to fluorescent aerosol and were analyzed by gender, brand and manufacturing nation. The results were as follows ; 1. Among those leak sites which were classified into four areas(nose, cheek, lip and chin), test aerosol was mostly deposited on the nose and the cheek areas. 2. The mean number of leak sites observed from the female subjects were 2.3 while the number were 2.2 from the male subjects. The most frequently observed leak site was nose and followed by chin, lip and cheek in descending order of frequency. 3. Among different brands of respirators, different leak sites were observed. Test subjects wearing the Sand N brands were more heavily exposed than those of wearing the D and M brands. 4. No significant difference of the number of leak sites were found between Korean-made and American-made masks. However, the most frequent leak site observed for the Korean-made ones was the nose area while it was the chin area for the American-made ones. 5. Analyses of 97 leak sites by shape showed that 27(27.8%) were point types, 54(55.7%) diffuse types and 16(16.5%) streamline types. 6. Test subjects indicated that the facepieces of Korean-made respirators were harder and smaller in size than those of American-made one. The most comfortable respirator selected was the respirator by the N Co. and the most uncomfortable one was the respirator by the D Co. This study suggests that many half-mask respirators now being used in the workplaces may not fit to workers well. Therefore, when selecting respirators, employers are advised to test respirators if they fit to workers well. And manufacturers are recommended to produce effective and comfortable respirators tested qualitatively and quantitatively not only in the laboratory but also in the field.

세계의 여러 선진국을 보면 국제 시장에서의 경쟁력 확보는 점차 노동자의 인적자원개발을 통한 고부가가치 산업에의 집중으로 나타나고 있다. 그리고 이러한 과정에서 특히 중요한 것은 노사 이해당사자와 관련 정부 기관이 파트너쉽을 통해 노동자의 숙련 형성 및 향상에 함께 참여한다는 것이다. 이는 어느 일방의 이해관계에 따라 진행되는 노동자의 훈련 프로그램은 그 효과가 충분히 실현되는 것이 어렵다는 인식에 기반한다. 그동안 우리나라에서는 유럽의 선진 국가에서 나타나는 노사정 파트너십과 노동자의 인적자원개발전략에 많은 주목을 해왔다. 이러한 사례연구를 보면 유럽 국가에서는 강력한 노동조합을 통해 노사정 파트너쉽체제를 구축하고 있으며 각 이해당사자는 협력을 통해 노사가 공동으로 이익을 얻을 수 있는 고용 및 훈련 프로그램에 적극적으로 참여하고 있다. 이에 반해 세계 주요 선진국 중 대표적인 미국에서의 노사 참여적인 인적자원개발에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 부족한데 그 이유는 분권화의 전통이 강하고 시장원리가 보다 더 강조되는 미국에서는 전국차원에서 노사정 파트너쉽을 구축할 수 있는 기제가 발달되어 있지 않기 때문이다. 그러나 비록 미국의 경우 연방 차원에서는 노사정 간의 사회적 대화기제를 찾기 어렵다고 하더라도 지역 차원이나 다양한 업종별 프로그램에서는 이해당사자가 파트너쉽을 통해 공동의 문제를 함께 풀어나가는 사례를 어렵지 않게 발견할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 인력투자법 (Workforce Investment Act)에 근거한 원스톱 센터와 위스컨신 지역훈련파트너쉽 (Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership)을 통해 미국에서 지역 차원의 노사정 파트너쉽이 어떻게 작동하며 어떠한 프로그램으로 운영되고 있는 지를 분석하고 있다. 원스톱센터가 연방 정부법에 의해 각 주에서 제도적으로 전개되는 지역 노사정파트너쉽 모델이라면 WRTP 는 민간주도의 지역 노사정파트너쉽 모델이라고 볼 수 있다. 두 사례는 OECD 에서도 대표적인 지역 파트너쉽 모범 사례로 소개되고 있으며 현재 우리나라 지역인적자원개발정책의 주요 참고 사례가 되고 있다.

A differentiated training considered the individual traits of a security guard in order to achieve the self-realization as well as to fulfill the spiritual needs of a security guard is needed. To promote the development of security industry in the new millennium, new types of training methods should be introduced, and a planned elaborate training in consideration of the traits of individual security guards is needed. On the other hand, to cultivate occupational consciousness, and to increase training products, a specific kind of training based on the survey of demand should be carried out. In this study, I made an actual analysis current training contents derived from the questionnaires and interviews among the security guards who were employed at the security industry. From these analyses, I am going to suggest the following measures; 1) The improvement of circumstances in training should be preceded. 2) Training related to practical business in consideration of individual traits should be emphasized. 3) Producing excellent professionals and developing specific textbooks are needed. 4) To establish professional education institutes is urgently needed. 5) Systematic training methods sponsored by government authorities and security society should be established. 6) The deep concern of security industry employers about the importance of training is needed.

This study was performed to provide efficient fund managing plans for hospitals by looking into the management of medical fees for accident insurance. Car insurance, industrial accident insurance and seamen's insurance at a general hospital which is located in Busan during 29 months from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2011 were assessed. The research data is the total number of 6,293 cases, including 2,251 car insurance cases, 2,350 industrial accident insurance cases, and 1,692 seamen's insurance cases. There were some significant differences found, as car insurance and seamen's insurance, including accident insurance, are types of insurance for which employers or traffic accidents offenders shall be the final premium payer. In addition, medical examination fees or premium payers are applied under their respective related laws. The findings suggest that it is necessary for managers of hospitals to prepare differentiated management schemes based on the characteristics of each insurer and schemes to ensure proper recovery strategies of uncollected medical account receivables.

The EPC/Turnkey Contract goes to the extreme in allocating risks to the contractor and depending on the types of project, this may be regarded as unacceptable. It has also gone to the extreme in the extent to which the contractor is responsible for the specification and design of the Works. The employer is not responsible for correctness of any information provided by him nor for correctness of any specification or other matter included in the Employer's Requirements, except the definition of the intended purpose and criteria for testing and performance. With such conditions it is surprising that the employer is entitled to interfere in the contractors performance to an extent that is close to what is norm for a construction contract with employer design and with normal risk allocation. The combination of risk allocation and inappropriate administrative provisions makes the EPC/Turnkey Contract a document that will meet severe resistance from contractors. It is also likely that employers will see the risks and difficulties from their own perspective. It is a fiction that the EPC/Turnkey Contract will give the employer a contact with a certainty of final price and completion date. It is not a fiction that the EPC/Turnkey Contract carries many seeds for disputes between the parties. The Orange Book has become an accepted document even if it clearly contains some weaknesses. Some of these have been corrected in the Plant Contract. In my opinion FIDIC should let users become more familiar with the Plant Contract as a follow up to the Orange Book.

Objectives: The Ministry of Employment and Labor has revised the articles regarding management of the thermal environment in the workplace. Currently, two types of regulations exist together with indoor workplaces as the scope of application. It appears that the time has come to discuss regulations. In this study, we aim to identify the feasibility of and problems with the current system through a comparative legal review of workplace thermal environment management laws from around the world. We suggest directions for improving South Korea's workplace thermal environment management laws. Methods: For the several selected countries, we analyzed the classification and content of obligations stipulated for the thermal environment, the presence or absence of specific measures for thermal environment management, legal status and content, and the scope of application of thermal environment provisions and measures. The investigated content was classified according to Zweigelt-Kotz's legal theory. Results: In some countries, employers' obligations for regulating the thermal environment are broadly divided into two types: results and actions. The scope of application of provisions and measures on the thermal environment was extensive, with most of the selected countries targeting general workplaces. Conclusions: In the case of South Korea, restricting and classifying target workplaces and imposing separate obligations to manage a workplace thermal environment goes against global practices, and stipulating legal orders and separate action obligations in guidelines does not conform to the characteristics of South Korea's legal system, meaning that improvement is needed.

최근 3년에 걸친 경제위기 과정에서 노동시장에 나타난 가장 뚜렷한 현상은 노동시장의 비정규화이다. 저임금, 저조한 부가급부 혜택, 미비한 고용안정성 등 부정적인 특성을 갖는 비정규근로의 확산에 따라 이에 대한 보호논의가 전개되고 있으나 정의와 실태자료가 미비한 상태에서 엄밀한 연구는 많지 않다. 본고는 "한국노동패널" 자료에 포함된 임금근로자를 표본으로 전환회귀모형을 이용하여 고용형태의 선택식과 시간당 임금 결정식을 추정하고, 임금격차를 생산성 특성의 차이에 의한 임금격차와 임금차별의 두 요인으로 분해한다. 여성, 청년층, 고연령층, 저학력, 건강상 문제의 근로취약요인과 최근 경채위기 중 입직한 경우가 비정규근로률 선택할 확률을 높이는 것으로 나타난다. 비정규근로와 정규근로의 시간당 임금의 격차는 35%에 이르며 다른 임금절정요인을 통제하였을 때 고용형태별 임금격차는 19%에 이른다. Oaxaca에 따라 임금격차를 분해한 결과는 임금격차의 4분의 1 내지 3분의 1이 동일한 생산성 특성에 대하여 고용형태에 따라 체계적으로 상이한 가격을 지불하는 가격효과에 의한 것으로 나타난다.

Confined spaces are inherently dangerous workplace and many fatal and nonfatal accidents have been reported. Even though these accidents occur in various kinds of confined spaces, there has rarely been reported on the health hazard agent, i.e., the types of gases and their concentration ranges. Therefore in this study, we evaluated several toxic and asphyxiating gas concentrations in various confined spaces. We surveyed 57 manholes, 3 sewage treatment plants, 2 yellow radish manufacturing companies and 7 barges to measure the concentrations of oxygen($O_2$), hydrogen sulfide($H_2S$), carbon monoxide(CO), ammonia($NH_3$). Lower Explosion Limits(LEL) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Those four types of confined spaces occupies 56% of accidents during last 9 years in Korea. In 57 manholes, the concentration varied according to the types of manholes; rainfall and sewage, and by location; residential and industrial areas. Sewage manhole in industrial area was evaluated as the most hazardous than other types of manhole like rainfall manholes, residential sewage manholes. The highest $H_2S$ concentration and the lowest $O_2$ concentration at sewage manhole in industrial area were 300 ppm, 8.7% respectively. In 3 sewage treatment plants, $H_2S$ and $NH_3$ concentrations were reached up to the 500 ppm and 200 ppm respectively. Two yellow radish manufacturing companies showed the concentrations of 316 ppm, 505.2 ppm, 90 ppm and 15.7% for $H_2S$, CO, VOCs and $O_2$, respectively. Seven barges showed 15.9%~20.9% oxygen concentration. Gas species and concentration ranges varied by the types and location of confined spaces; CO, $H_2S$, $O_2$ could be hazardous in manhole, especially manhole connected to sewage plants. CO, $H_2S$, LEL, $O_2$, $NH_3$ should be controlled in sludge silo and sluge pumping confined spaces in sewage treatment plant. The activity of lifting out radish from the storage tank was evaluated more hazardous rather than the other activities in yellow radish manufacturing industry. The employers must conduct the survey to identify all possible confined spaces in their local workplace prior to performing the tasks. At the national level to reduce the accidents in the confined spaces, we suggest that systemic approach and active education program including possible hazards, standard operation procedures, ventilation plan, and personal protective equipment in confined spaces should be implemented.
