Background: The high sensitivity of individuals toward safety information in production activities, that is, attentional bias toward safety (ABS), can positively predict safe behaviors. It has become a hot topic in current organizational safety behavior research. However, there is no literature on its modification method. Methods: Based on the modified dot-probe task, we designed a modification training method of ABS. The training method required subjects to respond to the location of detection points that presented after safety stimulus and neutral stimulus pictures. Subjects' attentional bias values of safety and neutral pictures were measured during the experiment. Twenty-one students were selected and divided into a control group and training group to gain comparable results. Results: A novel training method was developed in this study to promote the efficacy of safety stimulus by activating ABS of the subjects. Moreover, repeated trainings and preacquired relative knowledge can enhance this effect. Conclusion: This study develops an experimental approach to evaluate the effectiveness of safety education and safety training, and also provides a new research idea for accident prevention.

The occupational injury and illness(OII) was influenced by the various factors. This study was planned to investigate the pathway of the activities of OSHM on the rate of OII via worker's participation. The survey on the trend of the activities of OSHM was used. The sample size of manufacturing industry was 3,000 enterprises and that of construction was 1,000 enterprises. The survey was done by interview method with structure questionnaire. Questions about the activities of OHSM were integrated into one category using factor analysis. The enterprises with OII has more activities of OSHM than that without OII. Among enterprises with OII, the level of the activities of OSHM was positively correlated with the rate of OII. The activities of OSHM has influenced on the rate of OII directly and indirectly via worker's participation and the activities of prevention of accident. Worker's participation also has the direct effect and indirect effect on the rate of OII. Worker's participation in construction sector has more effect on OII than that in manufacturing sector.

It is extremely important to design safety-guaranteed industrial processes because such process determine the ultimate outcomes of industrial activities, including worker safety. Application of artificial intelligence (AI) in industrial safety involves modeling industrial safety systems by using vast amounts of safety-related data, accident prediction, and accident prevention based on predictions. As a preliminary step toward realizing AI-based industrial safety in Korea, this study discusses neural network-based modeling of industrial safety systems. The input variables that are the most discriminatory relative to the output variables of industrial safety processes are selected using two information-theoretic measures, namely entropy and cross entropy. Normalized frequency and severity of industrial accidents are selected as the output variables. Our simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed neural network model and, therefore, the feasibility of extending the model to include more input and output variables.

Background: Learning from incidents for accident prevention is a two-stage process, involving the investigation of past accidents to identify the causal factors, followed by the identification and implementation of remedial measures to address the identified causal factors. The focus of past research has been on the identification of causal factors, with limited focus on the identification and implementation of remedial measures. This research begins to contribute to this gap. The motivation for the research is twofold. First, previous analyses show the recurring nature of accidents within the Ghanaian mining industry, and the causal factors also remain the same. This raises questions on the nature and effectiveness of remedial measures identified to address the causes of past accidents. Secondly, without identifying and implementing remedial measures, the full benefits of accident investigations will not be achieved. Hence, this study aims to assess the nature of remedial measures proposed to address investigation causal factors. Method: The study adopted SMARTER from business studies with the addition of HMW (H - Hierarchical, M - Mapping, and W - Weighting of causal factors) to analyse the recommendations from 500 individual investigation reports across seven different mines in Ghana. Results: The individual and the work environment (79%) were mostly the focused during the search for causes, with limited focus on organisational factors (21%). Forty eight percentage of the recommendations were administrative, focussing on fixing the problem in the immediate affected area or department of the victim(s). Most recommendations (70.4%) were support activities that only enhance the effectiveness of control but do not prevent/mitigate the failure directly. Across all the mines, there was no focus on evaluating the performance of remedial measures after their implementation. Conclusion: Identifying sharp-end causes leads to proposing weak recommendations which fail to address latent organisational conditions. The study proposed a guide for effective planning and implementation of remedial actions.

This study was conducted to obtain a basic information related to a more systematic safety education and measures against children's accidents by a descriptive survey with regard to accidents actually experienced by elementary schoolers, their perceived safety education activities and school facilities to their safety lives. The data was collected among 1,654 pupils, belonging to the 5th and 6th grades in Pusan from Nov. 20 to Dec. 1, 2000. The data was analyzed using SPSSWIN(7.5). The results were as follows ; 1. According to the perception by elementary schoolers, they received safety life instruction at school in most cases from teachers in charge of their own class (41.0％). Such safety education was provided often during formal classes(24.4％). Traffic guidance was given by parents, highest in frequency(67.3％). 2. Matters as most often treated during safety life instruction were safety knowledge or dangerous things(37.5％). A majority of notices of school safety instruction were presented sometimes(48.4％). Source of knowledge about safety lives included teacher (35.3％), parents(32.9％), TV and newspaper (29.9％). As a source of knowledge of emergency treatment, school nurses were accounted for 41.3％ that was highest. 3.Among the 1,654 students, 91.8％ experienced at least more than one case of safety accident. The most frequent type and cause of safety accident were wound(33.7％). and self-carelessness(38.4％) respectively. In most cases, the subject experienced such accident during a break time(32.2％) and at a playgrounds. Part of body as most often damaged by accidents were arms and legs, 25.4％ higher than any other sides problem solving measures against the accident were taken by school nurse in most cases, 44.8％ in percentage point. 4. Those students' perceived safety management of school facilities showed that they considered classroom facilities as most safe (61.6％), while playground facilities as least safe(42.8％).

The purpose of this study is to analyze four cases of firefighter burns in various fire scenes and to find prevention measures to decrease firefighter injuries. Among the analysis reports prepared by the National Fire Research Institute of Korea from 2016 to 2020, four burn-related accidents are summarized and the main causes are conveyed. The four accidents include second-degree burns from using extinguishers during containment of fires; nine firefighters burned due to re-ignition in the LPG car repair shop; two firefighters injured with third-degree burns from using fire extinguishers during life-saving events in residential housing; and injuries from the radiant heat of the tank BLEVE near the factory fire. These cases are comprehensively investigated in their respective scenes and analyzed based on the fire site investigation reports from the fire department and related theoretical explanations of risk for each accident scene. In the third case study, some experimental research is conducted to evaluate the risk involved with the use of safety gloves. This is evaluated by reviewing Fire Tactics and Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) to determine improvements and recommendations for an efficient firefighting response. Results show that the main causes of burn accidents are the insufficient use of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety gloves, and the failure to follow firefighting tactics or SOPs. Through the accident investigation and assessment, it is concluded that to reduce the frequency of burn accidents, the performance of firefighting equipment, SOPs, protection tactics, and safety policy systems require improvement.

가장 진보된 항공기술의 발전에도 불구하고 항공기사고는 지속적으로 발생하고 있는 반면 승객수송 항공교통량은 향후 15년간 갑절로 증폭할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 항공기사고 발생 후에 안전조치로 수행되는 항공기사고조사만으로는 항공안전을 확보할 수 없기 때문에, 선제적이고 예측적인 사고예방대책의 필요성에 대한 공감대가 형성되었다. 이러한 명목으로 항공안전관리시스템(SMS)이 2008년부터 도입되어 2011년부터 본격적으로 수행되고 있다. SMS는 선제적이고 예측적인 항공기사고 예방대책으로서, 항공안전과 관련된 기술적 요소, 인적요소를 넘어 조직적 요소에 접근함으로써 근원적인 위험요인을 차단할 수 있는 메커니즘이다. 방법론적으로는 항공기운항에 필요한 모든 현장에서 잠재되어 있는 위험요소를 수집하여 데이터베이스를 구축하고, 위험을 분석하여, 위험을 관리함으로써, 위험을 수용가능하거나 그 이하로 유지하는 방법이다. 따라서 SMS의 부적절한 이행은 항공기사고 예방의 미흡함을 나타내며 항공기사고와 직결된다. SMS에 있어 자신의 실수를 포함하여 업무상 발생하는 위험요소의 보고가 필수적이고, 가장 중요한 요소로 간주된다. 이를 위하여 자발적 보고에 대한 공정문화의 정책 하에, 정보제공자의 익명성, 비처벌 및 비문책 보장이 기본적인 것으로 되어있으나, 조직에 대한 신뢰의 부족으로 보고는 미미한 수준으로 정체되어 있는 상황이다. 최고관리자가 고위관리자와 더불어 자신의 조직에 대한 안전과 수익의 균형을 유지할 수 있는 안전의식을 갖고, 공정문화가 주축이 된 안전문화의 주도적 역할이 필요하다. 이에 대한 법적 제도적 근거는 국토교통부 훈령인 "항공안전관리시스템 인 및 운영지침"에 최고관리자가 및 고위관리자가 받아야할 교육이 명시되어있으나, 법적 구속력이 없는 상태이다. 따라서 법적 구속력이 있는 고시인 "국가항공안전프로그램"의 항공안전관리시스템 승인신청서의 구비서류에, 최고관리자 및 고위관리자의 SMS 교육이수증명서가 추가되어야 할 필요가 있다. 또한 항공기사고조사에 SMS항목이 누락되어 있어 안전문화와 관련된 조직적 요소 및 위험관리 부분에 대한 조사가 수행되지 않고 있다. 이는 근원적인 원인에 대한 규명이 불가능하여 향후 사고예방에 장애요소로 작용된다. ICAO가 발행한 항공기사고조사매뉴얼에는 SMS조사가 포함되어 있지만, 국제민간항공조약 부속서 13의 최종보고서 양식에는 포함되어있지 않다. 또한 전 세계적으로 항공기사고조사의 실질적 표본이 되고 미국교통안전위원회가 SMS조사에 미온적인 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 이유들로 부속서 13에 의거 조사를 수행하고 있는 조사기구들은 SMS조사를 조사항목에 포함시키지 않고 있는 상황이며, 항공기사고 조사관들은 SMS 조사방법이나 기법에 노출되어 있지 않다. 이러한 맥락에서 부속서 13의 최종보고서 양식 중 조직 및 관리정보 목에 SMS조사를 포함시킬 필요가 있다. 국내적으로는 항공 철도사고조사위원회의 운영규정 중 최종보고서양식에 동일하게 SMS항목을 추가되어야 한다. 이러한 법적 제도적 개선방법이 보완되면 SMS의 이행이 효율적으로 이행되어 향후 항공안전증진에 기여하리라고 기대한다.
