Background: Increasing the establishment of integrated management systems (IMSs) is done with the purpose of leaving traditional management methods and replacing them with modern management methods. Thus, the present study sought to analyze the events and investigate the impact of IMS on health and safety performance indices in an Iranian combined cycle power plants. Methods: This case study was conducted in 2012 in all units of the Yazd Combined Cycle Power Plant on accident victims before and after the implementation of IMS. For data analysis and prediction of indices after the implementation of IMS, descriptive statistics and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Chi-square, linear regression, and Cubic tests were conducted using SPSS software. Results: The number of people employed in the power plant in an 8-year period (2004-2011) was 1,189, and 287 cases of work-related accidents were recorded. The highest accident frequency rate and accident severity rate were in 2004 (32.65) and 2008 (209), respectively. Safe T-score reached to below -3 during 2010-2011. In addition, given the regression results, the relation between all predictor variables with outcomes was significant (p < 0.05), except for the variable $X^1$ belonging to the accident severity rate index. Conclusion: The implementation of safety programs especially that of IMS and its annual audits has had a significant impact on reducing accident indices and improving safety within the study period. Accordingly, health and safety management systems are appropriate tools for reducing accident rate, and the use of regression models and accident indices is also a suitable way for monitoring safety performance.

Recently, electric vehicles have got significant attention because it is more eco-friendly and efficient than internal combustion engine vehicles. Instead of an internal combustion engine, the electric vehicle has a motor for propulsion. The permanent magnet synchronous motor which has permanent magnet instead of field winding in the rotor has especially higher efficiency and power density than other types of motor. When the irreversible demagnetization is occurred, drivers are exposed to high risk of accident by the fault operation of motor. Therefore, the irreversible demagnetization of permanent magnet should be detected to reduce the risk of accident. In this study, the demagnetization diagnosis method based on the result of locked rotor test is proposed. Based on short measurement time, the proposed diagnosis method aims to detect the demagnetization fault when an electric vehicle is at a complete standstill. The proposed method is verified through the finite element analysis.

차량 운행 시 주의분산으로 인한 자동차 사고가 증가 하고 있는데, 주의분산 행동은 전방 주시율, 차로유지능력, 위험상황별 반응시간의 세 가지 항목에 대해 영향을 미친다. 많은 운전자들이 운행 중 라디오를 청취하게 되는데, 지역의 경계를 넘어가는 경우 특정 방송국의 라디오를 계속 청취하기 위해 라디오의 주파수를 변경하여야 한다. 이 과정에서 운전자의 주의분산이 발생하여 교통사고 발생 가능성이 높아지게 된다. 특히 고속도로에서는 빠른 속도로 차량이 주행하므로 사고의 위험이 더욱 높아지게 된다. 차량 운행 시 라디오 조작으로 인한 사고의 위험성을 줄이기 위해 본 논문에서는 각 방송국의 표준 라디오 주파수를 데이터베이스(D/B : date base)에 저장하고, 특정 지역의 경계에서 내비게이션으로부터 얻은 차량의 위치정보를 이용하여 변경된 지역의 라디오 주파수를 결정한 후, 기존의 주파수와 새로운 주파수를 이용하는 신호 중 수신율이 양호한 주파수를 선택하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 양호한 수신율을 가지는 주파수를 선택하기 위해 두 주파수에 대한 신호의 신호-대-잡음비(SNR : signal-to-noise ratio)를 기준으로 사용한다.

교통사고는 도로기하구조, 교통특성, 운전자 특성, 주변환경 등이 복합적인 상호작용을 통하여 발생하게 된다. 고속도로는 양호한 도로기하구조 조건을 가지고 있으나 고속주행 특성으로 인해 사고원인 중 부주의, 졸음, 과속 등 운전자의 인적요인(Human Factor)에 의한 사고비율이 매우 높다고 보고되고 있다. 그러나 고속도로 교통사고 추정에 대한 기존연구들은 주로 특정지점에서의 도로기하구조조건, 교통 및 환경조건들과 교통사고와의 관계를 설명하기 위한 모형의 개발에 초점을 두어왔으며, 운전자 조건을 고려한 교통사고 추정에 대한 연구는 지금까지 거의 수행되지 않았다. 따라서 기존 연구들은 도로와 교통조건이 양호한 구간에서의 높은 교통사고율을 설명하기 어렵다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 개별 기 ${\cdot}$ 종점 쌍간의 통행길이분포(Trip Length Frequency Distributions)를 이용하여 공간적 시간적으로 변화하는 운전자의 심리적 ${\cdot}$ 생리적 인적요인을 고려하여 보다 현실적으로 교통사고발생율을 예측하는데 있다. 이를 위해 사고분석변수로 구간교통량에 대한 사고위험교통량의 비율인 잠재사고비율(PAR:Potential Accident Ratio)이라는 새로운 개념을 제시하였으며, 서해안 고속도로에 대한 사례분석결과 PAR, 교통량과 교통사고는 서로 밀접한 관계를 갖는 것으로 분석되었다.

해양경찰청에서는 연안사고를 예방하기 위해 주요 연안활동장소에 대한 위험도를 평가하여 이를 기반으로 순찰·관리하고 있으나, 연안사고 발생 증가 속도에 적절하게 대응하지 못하고 있다. 이는 연안활동 공간이 점차 확장됨에도 불구하고 관리·감독 인력은 확충되지 못하여 생기는 관리 공백으로 인한 안전관리의 사각지대가 발생하기 때문이다. 따라서 이를 해소하기 위해서는 현행 안전관리 체계를 점검.보완한 보다 효율적이고 실효성 있는 방안 마련이 요구된다. 특히 연안사고는 시간에 따른 이용자들의 활동 특성의 차이로 인해 사고요인 및 사고장소가 달리 나타나는 특징을 보인다. 연안사고 통계자료(2017~2021)를 분석한 결과, 주로 가족 단위의 여가활동이 빈번한 갯바위, 해수욕장, 해양의 경우 주간 사고발생 빈도가 높고, 음주, 방향상실, 자살로 인한 사고가 주로 발생하는 항포구, 갯벌, 교량의 경우에는 야간이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 주중에 비해 이용객이 증가하는 주말의 사고빈도가 높았다. 이러한 경향은 연안활동장소의 위험도 평가 시 이용자의 시간적 활동 특성을 반드시 반영해야 함을 시사한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 연안사고 사례를 기반으로 시간에 따른 연안활동 장소에 대한 사고 특성을 파악하고 이를 등급화하여 위험도를 평가할 수 있는 기준을 제시하였다. 제시된 평가 기준을 활용하여 시간에 따라 연안활동장소를 효율적으로 관리·감독함으로써 연안사고를 줄일 수 있는 기반을 마련할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Stow net fishery is one of the fishery with high fishing work accidents in southwestern sea of Korea. We conducted to serve as basic data for improving the healthy and safe working environment of fisher using risk assessment process (ISO45001) with fishermen's occupational accidents of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative (NFFC) from 2016 to 2018. The average occurrence rate of victim in this fishery was 9.04%, 16.7 times more than such rate in all industries. In addition, the average fatality rate was found to have a very serious level management to 31.06‱, 27.7 times more than such rate in all industries. The safety hazards of stow net fishery was more likely to occur by other general industrial groups, with more severe consequences after the accident. According to 4M analysis, 58.6% of all accidents were caused by human factors, 24.0% by environmental factors, 16.0% by mechanical factors, and 1.5% by managerial factors, respectively. The occurrence frequency by accident type was the highest in 187 cases (32.2%) for struck by object, 158 cases (27.2%) for slipping, and 94 cases (16.2%) for being in contact with machinery. Severity is the highest for others such as diseases etc., in the order of being struck by object, being in contact with machinery, falling from above slipping, collapsing, bumping, and burning. Being struck by object, being in contact with machinery, and slipping are high-risk groups, falling from above others, bumping, and burning are medium-risk groups based on the risk assessment using the occurrence frequency and severity of accident. The obtained results are expected to contribute to the safe operation environment subsidy for fishing crews on the stow net fishing vessel.

Objective: Objective of this study is to provide characteristics of injury frequency and severity by driving condition in large truck-related traffic collisions. Background: Traffic accidents involving large trucks draw a lot of attention in accident prevention and management policies since they bring about severe human and financial damages. Method: In order to identify the major risk factors of accidents by driving condition, 255 recognized traffic accidents by large truck drivers were analyzed in terms of time of the day, road type, and shape of the road. Results: The driving conditions in the results are represented by the following form of combination, "Road Type (Non-expressway or Express) - Shape of Roads (Straight, Curved, Downhill, or Intersection) - Time of Accidents (Day or Night)". In the analysis of injury frequency, Non-expressway-Straight-Day condition was the most frequent one. Meanwhile, Expressway-Curved-Day, Non-expressway-Curved-Night and Non-expressway-Intersection-Night were evaluated as high level in view of injury severity. Also, Expressway-Straight-Night is the driving condition that is the highest in risk among the conditions that have to be managed as grade "High". Non-expressway-Straight-Night, Non-expressway-Downhill-Day, and Non-expressway-Curved-Day are also categorized as grade "High". Conclusion and Application: Safety managers in the fields require basic information on accident prevention that can be easily understood. The research findings will serve as a practical guideline for establishing preventive measures for traffic accidents.
