Objectives: This study compared the characteristics of the work environment between agricultural and general workers and analyzed the effects of agricultural working characteristics on work-related health problems. Methods: The participants of this study were 2,347 agricultural workers and 48,042 general workers who were selected by applying standardized weights to the raw data of 50,538 respondents from the 6th Korean Working Condition Survey (KWCS). Variables applicable to both worker groups and related to exposure to hazardous risk factors in the working environment, working hours and intensity of work, health problems and work-related status, and satisfaction with the work environment were selected. Chi-square tests and independent sample t-tests were performed to evaluate the differences in the variables between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the effects of work environment characteristics on work-related health problems. Results: Compared to general workers, agricultural workers were more exposed to hazardous environments, irregular work patterns such as working on Saturday/Sunday, and short repetitive tasks. They reported more work-related and general health problems, including back pain, upper extremity muscle pain, lower extremity muscle pain, and general fatigue. Agricultural workers showed lower satisfaction with their work environment than general workers. Factors affecting one or more work-related health problems included gender, working years, hazardous factors, irregular work pattern, working hours, and labor intensity. Conclusions: Our findings showed that agricultural workers were relatively more vulnerable to safety issues compared to other occupational groups. Therefore, it is necessary to establish standardized safety and health standards and strengthen systematic safety and health management policies and services for agriculture.

최근까지 한국사회에서 각종 대규모 안전사고가 발생한 배경에는 국가에서 지난 30여년간 경제성장과 산업의 발전을 목표로 추구하면서 정책으로 안전체계를 구축하지 못한 문화의 특수성이 있다고 보았다. 이 관점에서 현재 한국사회의 안전체계를 구성하는 주체들의 심리와 행동 특성을 분석하고, 이어서 안전 분야에서 심리학이 기여할 수 있는 영역과 연구 과제를 논의하였다. 먼저 총체안전체계의 관점에서 체계를 구성하는 단위로서 안전관리의 책임을 맡은 정부, 안전상품과 써비스를 생산하여 판매하는 기업, 안전상품과 써비스를 소비하면서 한편으로 공동체의 안전생활 환경에 영향을 미치는 시민들, 그리고 안전을 위한 시민운동 단체를 구별하고 이 네 주체들이 각각 어떤 특징들을 보이는지 살펴보았다. 이 분석을 토대로 한국사회에서 심리학이 안전체계를 구성하는 네 주체들의 안전심리와 행동을 연구하여 개선하는데 응용하는 방안을 모색하였다. 안전에 관한 심리학 연구의 영역들로는 인지심리가 토대가 되어서 인간-기계체계를 다루는 인간공학 연구와 아울러 안전심리와 행동에 관한 사회행동 연구가 기초가 된다고 보았다. 이 연구들을 기초로 여러 전공의 심리학자들이 협력하여 안전체계를 구성하는 정부, 기업, 시민, 시민단체 및 언론에 전문지식과 정보를 만들어서 제공하여야 한다. 그리고 실제로 안전분야에 따라서 각종 기관에서 대중의 태도변화에 활용할 수 있는 홍보 계획과 아울러 각 주체들의 행동변화 계획을 만들어야 할 필요성도 지적하였다. 이 논문의 후반부에서는 도로교통 안전 분야에서 필자가 한국 운전자의 음주운전 행동을 연구한 결과를 예로 들어서 한국사회의 안전체계에 관한 심리학 연구의 전망과 장래 연구의 과제를 논의하였다.

Overhead cranes are the most widely used and have been identified as one of the main causes of fatal accidents. Although structural, mechanical and electrical safety standards for overhead cranes have been established to some extent, ergonomic standards related to crane controllers are rarely established. As a result, many crane accidents are reported to be caused by operator's error. To investigate the actual use of crane controllers in the industrial field, we surveyed 82 overhead cranes in 15 workplace and interviewed workers operating them. This study has presented the ergonomic problems related to the crane controllers in the field. As a result of investigation, it was found that the direction control signs, the sign language, and the button layout on the pendant switches and remote controllers are not standardized, which can cause a human error. To reduce human errors in overhead crane operation, ergonomic standards for controllers should be reflected on the government legislation or standards.

In Japan, there are over the 100's fires in the social welfare organs every years. People are interested in fire protection who live in an institution for the aged or weak person's places and worried about it. I surveyed the social welfare organs were safety from fire to firewarden who worked at an institution for the aged in Tokyo. In the paper, I asked how do you think about the fire safety problems and condition of the facilities. And base on firewarden's view, I reviewed(examined) the fire prevention measures, each facility's problems and how to improve the fire protection.

In order to improve participation and quick decision-making in an emergency, the Voluntary Participation Program was recommended in this study for effective management of Civil Defense. The problems in the Law and Administration group and Forced Education by Mobilization system were analyzed through actual conditions of Civil Defense management and participation. In order to improve these problems, cases such as "Extension of Participation Methods", "Cooperation Activities with Civil Groups", "Usage of Community Information" were studied. Based on the investigation results, domestic applicability was recommended.

Substantive provisions of the concept of an estimation and safety of complex technical systems are envisaged. New problems are assume orientation to use of the formalized methods of an estimation of residual resources of reliability of objects, and also development of other methodological base in creation of complex technical systems that is connected with detailed elaboration of attention to a safety at all stages of creation of systems: from designing until operation. In this connection existing large objects should be provided by the developed systems of engineering monitoring and diagnostics.

Concept about health is rapidly changed into 21C. thinking logic of customer about food is changed from just food to safety food by disposition of consumption about foodsafety. But government, manufacturer, distribution trader and seller which have different recognitions about foodsafety lose trust of customer. Because they did't focus on thinking changed of customer about foodsafety. Our thinking about rapidly changed food safety being intergrated with IT technology is helping to expand and supply into market. In this article, We'll study Traceability System about cattle and pig related to food. this system was developed in livestock market. In this study, we problems from these systems after studying present construction positions of these systems and purpose of this study is investigation of actual use condition. Also purpose of this study abstracts problems which will be developed and researched.

Rail network authority have to do the safety ensuring activities including the maintenance of railway facility, integrated performance verification between the facilities and related rolling stock and safety inspections, etc. When constructing the new lines or revising the conventional lines, full system commissioning should be done before the revenue service with railway operator. To develop the optimal full system commissioning model, the status of domestic and foreign railway facility and railway accidents are analysed and the problems of the safety management are derived. As one of countermeasures for the problems, the procedures and criteria for the full system commissioning are developed.
