종종 사고들의 직접적인 원인은 인적오류 또는 기술적인 결함이지만, Three Mile Island, Chemobyl 그리고 Kings Cross사고와 같은 중대산업사고의 조사 분석결과에 따르면 직접적인 사고원인이 아닌 다른 원인과 관계가 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 즉, 이들 사고들은 안전문화를 광범위하고 충분하게 고려하지 않아 발생하였으며 조직의 안전문화를 연구하는 것이 매우 복잡하고 어렵지만 안전문화를 조성하는 표준화에 대한 필요성을 십분 부각시켰다. 이 논문은 화학산업과 같은 위험성이 높은 산업에서 관리자와 근로자의 환경적 태도 및 행동과 관련한 안전문화 측정에 중점을 두었다. 아울러 문헌조사를 통해 화학공정 산업뿐만 아니라 위험성이 높은 산업의 안전문화 수준을 측정할 수 있는 공정안전문화 측정항목 및 점수화 도구를 개발하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다.

This paper proposes an extended time uncertainty analysis approach in Level 2 human reliability analysis (HRA) considering severe accident management (SAM) strategies. The method is a time-based model that classifies two time distribution functions-time required and time available-to calculate human failure probabilities from delayed action when implementing SAM strategies. The time required function can be obtained by the combination of four time factors: 1) time for diagnosis and decision by the technical support center (TSC) for a given strategy, 2) time for strategy implementation mainly by the local emergency response organization (ERO), 3) time to verify the effectiveness of the strategy and 4) time for portable equipment transport and installation. This function can vary depending on the given scenario and includes a summation of lognormal distributions and a choice regarding shifting the distribution. The time available function can be obtained via thermal-hydraulic code simulation (MAAP 5.03). The proposed approach was applied to assess SAM strategies that use portable equipment and safety depressurization system valves in a total loss of component cooling water event that could cause reactor vessel failure. The results from the proposed method are more realistic (i.e., not conservative) than other existing methods in evaluating SAM strategies involving the use of portable equipment.

According to Article 7 and Annex B of the World Trade Organization(WTO) Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary(SPS) Measures, WTO members are required to notify their newly established or amended SPS measures that might affect international trade. This study analyzed SPS notifications from 1995 to 2008 to identify international trends for food safety measures. The notifications were collected from the SPS information management system and the official document distribution system of WTO. The 153 WTO members represented 37 developed countries, 84 developing countries and 32 least developed countries. The number of overall notifications was 9,820. The annual notifications increased from 198 in 1995 to 1,264 in 2008. The monthly average notifications were from 44.8 in December to 69.5 in June; however, there were no statistical differences among them. The six leading Members in terms of notification submissions were United States(U.S.), Brazil, New Zealand, Canada, European Community and Korea. Among the regular and emergency notifications, 62.7% notifications were concerned with food safety, followed by animal and plant protections. Among animal protection notifications, 54.8% were emergency situations. Of the 4,821 food safety notifications, 60.4% were from developed countries, and 39.3% were from developing countries. Measures concerning pesticide residues and risk assessments were mainly from developed countries. In contrast, 77.5% of the measures concerning zoonoses were from developing countries. However considering the numbers of developing and developed countries, the average number of measures for each country was similar. Food safety measures were mainly involved pesticide residues followed by food additives, zoonoses, new regulations, labeling. As the overall notifications, zoonosis measures were mainly emergency notifications. Measures concerning pesticide residues, food additives, zoonoses, new regulations, veterinary drugs, and labeling were submitted most often by the U.S., Korea, Albania, U.S., Australia, and U.S., respectively. Identifying the exact trends of food safety measures was complicated by a number of factors. However, WTO notifications might be useful tool in providing a general view of international trends.

Purpose - Aviation control, navigation, and aircraft control in the air transportation area are very specialized. Each part is in progress for safety, efficiency, automation, and further. On the other hand co-work among each part including knowledge sharing has been inattentive for many reasons. The purpose of this research is to show how practicians and professionals in the air transportation area perceive the issue of knowledge sharing and to recall the necessity of knowledge sharing in the area. And we try to find ways to activate the knowledge sharing in the area. Research design, data, methodology - For the research, we inquired into whether practicians and professionals think knowledge sharing can effect safe aviation positively or not and what steps are necessary to activate knowledge sharing in the area. We adopted survey method using questionnaires for current practicians and interview for specialists. The survey and interview results were analyzed using regression analysis and AHP method. The interview for specialists and analyzing the results using AHP was to investigate what are the precedence factors to activate the knowledge sharing. Results - First, practicians perceive that knowledge sharing will affect aviation safe positively. Second objective knowledges such as, tower air traffic control procedure of aviation control area, flight principle and structure of aircraft control area, instrument landing system of navigation area, for knowledge sharing of each area were identified. Also the precedence factors such as, knowledge absorbability of personal factor, personal expectation of result of expectation factor, leadership of management of Structure factor, method of knowledge spread of application factor for knowledge sharing were found. Conclusions - Knowledge sharing for practicians and professionals in the aviation area is very important especially from the perspective of safety. However, for various many reasons including the environment of each special area that focusing on their own area, knowledge sharing has not been emphasized. We found that practicians in the area feel that knowledge sharing is necessary and helpful. For it, each practician's active participation is the most important and many ways such as chatting room to share knowledge are to be developed. And the organization culture should be changed to encourage knowledge sharing.

Background: This study aimed to assess the whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure among large blast hole drill machine operators with regard to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recommended threshold values and its association with machine- and rock-related factors and workers' individual characteristics. Methods: The study population included 28 drill machine operators who had worked in four opencast iron ore mines in eastern India. The study protocol comprised the following: measurements of WBV exposure [frequency weighted root mean square (RMS) acceleration ($m/s^2$)], machine-related data (manufacturer of machine, age of machine, seat height, thickness, and rest height) collected from mine management offices, measurements of rock hardness, uniaxial compressive strength and density, and workers' characteristics via face-to-face interviews. Results: More than 90% of the operators were exposed to a higher level WBV than the ISO upper limit and only 3.6% between the lower and upper limits, mainly in the vertical axis. Bivariate correlations revealed that potential predictors of total WBV exposure were: machine manufacturer (r = 0.453, p = 0.015), age of drill (r = 0.533, p = 0.003), and hardness of rock (r = 0.561, p = 0.002). The stepwise multiple regression model revealed that the potential predictors are age of operator (regression coefficient ${\beta}=-0.052$, standard error SE = 0.023), manufacturer (${\beta}=1.093$, SE = 0.227), rock hardness (${\beta}=0.045$, SE = 0.018), uniaxial compressive strength (${\beta}=0.027$, SE = 0.009), and density (${\beta}=-1.135$, SE = 0.235). Conclusion: Prevention should include using appropriate machines to handle rock hardness, rock uniaxial compressive strength and density, and seat improvement using ergonomic approaches such as including a suspension system.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the change of hospitals that patients safety and quality improvement by accreditation process and to examine the impact or interrelation of leadership, organizational culture, hospital management activities and recognition of hospital management performances. The data were collected through a review of the literature, and selfadministered survey with a structured questionnaires to 714 subjects from several medical staff members, administration staff members, nursing staff members, medical technicians and other staff members working in 23 accredited hospitals in Korea. In this analysis hierarchical multiple regression and structural equation model were used. The conclusion of this study provides a theoretical model for understanding organizational changes brought about by accreditation system. Factor on improvement of efficiency and raise the morale, rather than increase of medical income and reduce of the cost factors, had a stronger influence on the accreditation process. In the future, the hospital's participation to induce the accreditation program voluntarily will come up with an alternative policy concern about financial perspective. Also, the hospitals which preparing accreditation program to achieve the goal efficiently, will make use of transformational leadership through enhancing individual consideration and intellectual development to leading members participation. Additionally, non-accredited hospitals should aim at professional culture by innovative and creative approaches, and inviting members to learning and growth in the organization.

Although many studies have been conducted to find solutions to deal with human errors effectively, violations have been rarely studied in depth. The violation is a type of human error when an employee takes an action with intention but does not intend harmful outcomes. Violations have characteristics similar to other types of human errors but it is difficult to understand the intention of an employee from accident reports. The objective of this study is to develop a conceptual model of violation errors for preventing accidents/failures in a nuclear power plant from violation errors. Based on the previous studies, the characteristics of violations were collected in 9 categories and 136 items. They were classified into three-kinds of characteristics (human-related, task-related, organization-related characteristics) to construct conceptual models of routine/situational violations. The representative cases of accidents/failures in a nuclear power plant were analyzed to derive the specific types of routine/situational violation occurrence. Three types of conceptual model for each violation were derived according to whether the basic, human-related, and task-related characteristics are included or not. The conceptual models can be utilized to develop guidelines to support employees preventing routine/situational violations and to develop supportive system in nuclear power plant.

본 연구는 매년 실시되는 지역안전도 평가제도중 문제점이나 개선을 요하는 사항들을 발굴하여 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구의 구성 및 내용을 간략하게 소개하면, 서론인 도입부에서는 2020년도에 행정안전부에서 새롭게 적용한 지역안전도 평가 방법에 대하여 기술하였다. 지자체에서 최종 평가받은 지역안전도 등급에 따른 활용 방안도 소개하였다. 본론에서는 지역안전도 관련 선행 연구자들의 다양한 견해를 요약 기술하였다. 또한 지역안전도의 지표구성, 지수 산출 방법, 현행 지표를 적용함에 있어서 문제점을 도출하였다. 첫째, 재해위험요인 분야의 「사회적 취약성 지표」 "반지하 가구 수"는 "기초생활 수급자 가구 수"로 대체한다. 또한 "비닐하우스 면적"은 "비닐하우스에 거주하는 가구 수, 컨테이너 가구 수, 쪽방촌 가구 수" 등을 합한 자료로 대체하여 평가한다. 둘째, 상습 가뭄재해지역 관리 평가부문은 시군구의 상수도 보급률이 95% 이상인 지자체는 "결측" 처리한다. 수도권 및 도시화가 이루어진 자치단체에는 가뭄재난이 거의 발생하지 않기 때문이다. 셋째, 방재대책추진 대응분야의 「지역자율방재단 활성화」 평가지표 내용에 지역자율방재단과 더불어 안전보안관, 안전모니터봉사단, 재난안전 실버감시단 등의 활동도 평가에 추가한다. 다만 각 지자체 마다 지역자율 방재조직의 명칭이 상이할 수 있기 때문에 재난 예방을 위해 조직되어 활동하는 자율 방재조직이면, 그 활동 실적을 모두 합산하여 평가하는 것이 타당할 것이다. 넷째, 유엔재해위험경감사무국(UNDRR)에서 사용하고 있는 안전도시 평가도구인 스코어카드 평가 항목 중 자연재난과 연관이 깊은 "자연생태계가 제공하는 보호기능 강화를 위한 자연 완충재 보존"항목을 차용한다. 스코어카드 평가는 UNDRR에서 강조하는 "기후 위기와 재해에 강한 도시 만들기"라는 캠페인을 전개하면서 지자체의 재난 복원력(resilience)을 향상시키는 데 초점이 맞추어져 있는 평가 지표이다. 끝으로 "지역안전도"와 "지역안전지수"명칭이 유사하여 지역안전도의 용어를 "자연재난 안전도" 또는 "자연재해 안전도"라는 명칭으로 변경한다. 그래야만 일반인 누구나 지역안전도와 지역안전지수를 구분할 수 있기 때문이다.
