  • To improve and modify the problems in Maritime Traffic Safety Audit(MTSA) Scheme, "Maritime Safety Research Center(MSRC)" in Korea Ship Safety and Technology Authority(KST) was designated as specialized institute for MTSA through general revision of "Enforcement of MTSA"(March 2012). However, the roles of the MSRC such as preliminary review of safety audit report, comments on target project and etc. had not been defined clearly on the related maritime safety laws compared with other specialized institutes in other similar audit scheme. In this research, the improvement strategies were proposed for development of specialized institute through SWOT analysis, gathering the opinion from related professions and also comparison with the roles and current status of operation in other similar specialized institutes. In conclusion, the 'Screen & scoping system', 'Consultant system' were proposed for efficient operation of the MTSA Scheme, and the systematic and operational improvements such as a revision of maritime safety lan and etc. were also suggested for integrated management about costal development works, development of specialized institute.

  • The purpose of Overall Railroad Safety Audit(ORSA) is to prevent railroad accidents, and, every two years, to inspect and evaluate whether or not railroad operators faithfully adhere to railroad safety guidelines in accordance with the Railroad Safety Law. However despite of the many contributions of ORSA, due to lots of railroad accidents such as train failures and derailment caused track irregularity this year, it has been recently considered that ORSA will be renewed into Safety Certificates System as a complement. In order to guarantee railroad safety, new Safety Certificates must included appropriate safety standards considering current our country's railroad conditions. Therefore, in this study we're going to compare safety components of foreign audit system with those of Airlines field, based on ORSA's contents for years, to review Safety Management System and Safety Culture, as a result, we'd like to suggest to updated Railway Safety Standards.

  • Line operation safety audit (LOSA) is the proactive data collection system to capture the accident and serious incident caused by flight crew and is the safety management program for collecting threat error management (TEM) and crew resource management (CRM) during normal operations. The typically LOSA is written by hand, manages and archives the LOSA Observation Worksheet. But, this method is not easy to archive and ensure confidentiality of the LOSA worksheets. As we implemented the K-LOSA of the web-document type instead of the existing LOSA archive method and change the TEM category code. we yields to archive the efficient data management and confidentiality. In this paper, we introduce the LOSA and to configure the K-LOSA program.

  • To promote the consistent and effective implementation of IMO instruments such as SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, LL, TONNAGE, COLREG IMO has adopted voluntary IMO member state audit. This audit scheme is voluntary audit which will be curried out on a voluntary basis, at the request of the member state to be audited Nevertheless, the Korea government is preparing the implementation of the audit scheme to strengthen the competitiveness in shipping and shipbuilding industries. In this paper, we investigated the actual conditions of implementation qf mandatory IMO instruments and curried out a feasibility study by assessing the cost to be audited and positive effects expected by introducing the audit scheme. As a result of cost benefit analysis we obtained high benefit-cost ratio.

  • In order to maintain the continual safety management in a company, it needs to evaluate and monitor its implementation of safety management. Because the number of major-accidents is not an effective method of indicating company's safety performance, various efforts to develop more reasonable indicators have been made in world wide. After Korean government has legally required the PSM report, PSM compliance audit has been developed and made by the authorities concerned since 2005. However, this audit consists of complicate procedures difficult to utilize as companies' own audit program and corresponds to only a conformity check that confirms whether the PSM be operated and maintained properly. So a new index by which to measure easily the level of safety performance and self-monitor the implementation of safety management is needed. We have studied a new method that may quantitatively evaluate the performance of safety management by investigating application cases in foreign countries and doing the domestic survey of lots of companies subject to PSM regulation in Korea. This study proposes three of safety performance indices(SPI) together with the several prerequisite preconditions and the timing for application of each index. Although the first draft of SPI needs further legal support, it might help to evaluate every company's safety level. The second draft of SPI is a voluntarily evaluating method based on web-site online program. The last draft of SPI consists of a series of simple questions about 12 elements of PSM. Also each of 3 indices has differences in evaluation methodology and application area and, therefore, they may be used concurrently.

  • This paper defines the Safety Management System (SMS) based on the rail safety act and surveys the status of the English rail SMS and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) SMS and OHSAS18001 SMS. Through the analysis of the domestic rail operators' safety management regulations and the results of the universal rail safety audit, the status and problems of domestic rail operators' SMS are investigated and the improvement scheme are derived. First, to establish the continual improvement system for SMS, the instruction which describe the detailed continual improvement method for each steps of SMS including management review by CEO shall be established. Second, to settle the risk management based SMS, converting the rail operators mind and establishing the supply system of safety risk operating model and basic data for the risk analysis and safety evaluation and including the precise requirement for the risk management in the related instruction should be conducted.

  • Road safety audit is the preventive enhancement strategy for safety. : it gets rid of beforehand the potential factor of a traffic accident in the stage of road planning and design and it evaluates the appropriation for road geometric structure or safety facility to prevent traffic accident in the stage of operation after the construction. Since this strategy is introduced to our country in the early 2000s, various projects have been processed and it was legislated recently. And now, the evaluation of past project for its continuation is needed. Therefore, in this study the evaluation of road safety audit on existing freeway is performed. The spatial extent of this study is Yong-dong line on which the safety treatment was executed in 2005 and 2006. And, the temporal range of this study is each 2-year of before and after from 2005 and 2006. The empirical bayes method of observational evaluation studies is applied to analyze. As a result, there is an effect of improvement on most of treated sections. But there is ineffective or negligible on some sections. Compared with the detail of treatment on each section, the effect of multiple or various treatments is good for that section. On the other hand, the section on which effect doesn't appear is the result of single or unimportant treatments. Throughout these results, the concrete analysis can be performed and the countermeasures designed for the section on which effect doesn't appear. Also it is used as reference to the future plan and direction of road safety audit on existing freeway.

  • LOSA는 Line Operations Safety Audit(항공사 운항안전 감사)의 약자이며 기존의 적발 위주의 기존 Line Audit제도와 달리 조종사의 자발적 참여와 철저한 비밀을 유지하며, 처벌 금지 약속을 통하여 참여자가 평소 습관대로 비행할 수 있게 한다. 훈련된 감사관이 이를 소정의 절차서에 의거 조종석에서 관찰하여 실제의 안전취약 및 위협요소, Error를 포착해서 수집하고 텍사스대학 인적요인 연구소에서 분석하여 최종보고서를 작성하여 제도를 개선하는 안전프로그램이다. 제도와 방안을 개선하는 신개념의 선진 운항감사제도로서 안전관리시스템의 대표적인 비행안전 프로그램으로 통상 3${\sim}$4년을 주기로 실시한다. ICAO, IATA, FAA 및 IFALPA 실행 권고사항으로 현재 약30여개의 항공사가 실시하였다. LOSA는 2009년1월부터 ICAO부속서 6에 의거하여 항공사에서 실행해야 되는 SMS(안전관리 시스템)의 가장 효율적인 Hazard 식별 및 위험 관리도구 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 안전관리시스템의 효과적 도구인 LOSA를 설명하고 항공사내 실행방법을 소개하는데 있다.
