Functional safety is part of the overall safety relating to the equipment under control (EUC) and the EUC control system that depends on the correct functioning of the electrical/electronic/programmable electronic (E/E/PE) safety-related systems. Since the complexity of the medical equipment is increased, manufactures have to obtain functional safety as well as basic safety. This study proposes a perspective for applying functional safety to medical equipment. The research is carried out with respect to overall safety life-cycle of functional safety and essential performance of the medical equipment. The relationship between functional safety and essential performance is identified centered on the safety function. The essential performance using E/E/PE systems is defined as a safety function of functional safety. This approach is applied to a ultrasound imaging system as a case study.

Avionics electronic equipment refers to the electronic equipment installed on an aircraft. Failure of avionics equipment can have a significant impact on aircraft operations as well as threaten the safety of pilots and passengers. Therefore, avionics electronic equipment is required to have higher reliability and safety than electronic equipment used for other purposes. Avionics equipment must consider various component selection and system design to meet reliability and safety-related requirements from the initial design stage. In this paper, we describe safety, reliability performance analysis method of avionics equipment, and introduce various design improvement methods that can be performed to meet safety requirement performance. Finally, the safety performance of the improved avionics equipment was reanalyzed and compared with the value before the improvement, the validity of the proposed design change was verified.

Negative perceptions of the construction industry are prevalent due to the high accident rate at construction sites. Recently, with the gradual change of the perception in industrial safety, the demand for improving the safety level of construction sites has increased. Accordingly, the government is preparing various safety-level measures such as the Serious Disaster Punishment Act and support for industrial safety management costs. In addition, private industries are incorporating various safety equipment in the sites. This paper introduced the current status of safety sensors and solutions currently applied to construction equipment and industrial vehicles. The technology development direction suitable for construction equipment was introduced by comparing the operating environment of automobiles and construction equipment. and the need to develop performance standards to protect and revitalize the market for safety devices for construction equipment was suggested.

In this paper, in order to prevent electric shock of high voltage system of HFCV after crash test, insulation performance measurement methods were studied. Under conditions of in-use, insulation performance tests can be divided into measurement method using the vehicle's own RESS as DC voltage source and measurement method using DC voltage from off-vehicle sources. However, these tests can not be applied after a post-crash because parts of high voltage system cover should be removed, and insulation performance can be influenced during these tests. Therefore, we proposed post-crash insulation performance test methods for preventing electric shock through problem analysis of previous post-crash insulation performance tests. Also, test equipment which can measure voltage absence and total energy was developed. We verified performance of the equipment through experiments with vehicle test.

Temporary work that utilizes temporary equipment (e.g., system scaffold and system pipe support) in construction work is one of the most vulnerable work from a safety perspective in South Korea. Typically, temporary equipment is reused at construction sites. The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency announced guidelines regarding the performance standards for reusable temporary equipment to prevent the accidental collapse of temporary facilities. Nevertheless, temporary facilities' collapse still occurs, which could be attributed to a degradation in the performance due to the reuse of temporary equipment. Therefore, this study investigated the performance of simple temporary structures assembled with new and reused equipment. To this end, an experimental module was designed based on previous research cases, and two experimental models were constructed, in which one was assembled using new equipment (Model A), and the other was built using reused equipment (Model B). To determine the performance of each model, a load test was conducted to measure the maximum load that each model could withstand. The experimental results revealed that the maximum load of Model B was 15% lower than that of Model A. This indicates that there is a meaningful performance difference between those two models. Based on this result, the authors decided to perform additional tests with more realistic models than previous ones. The new experimental module was designed to ensure compliance with the Korean design guidelines. In this presentation, the authors show details of the first tests and their results and plan for the additional test.
