본 연구는 도로교통사고 발생지표의 국제간 비교분석을 통해 국내 교통사고와 관련된 교통안전 수준을 평가하고 주요 선진국가의 교통안전 지표의 수준을 파악하고 장래 한국의 교통사고 지표의 목표와 방향설정을 목적으로 수행하였다. 연구 수행절차는 첫째, OECD 32개 대상국을 대상으로 인구, 자동차등록대수, 도로연장, 차량주행거리와 교통사고 발생건수, 사망자수, 부상자수를 수집하고 둘째, 교통사고율의 국제비교를 통해 한국의 교통안전 순위를 결정하였다. 마지막으로 차량주행거리당 교통사고율을 가지고 선진 7개국과 비교함으로써 한국의 교통안전 수준을 분석하였다. 분석결과 교통사고 발생건수, 사망자수, 부상자수뿐만 아니라 교통사고율도 OECD 국가와 비교하여 상위 1~ 5위의 높은 수치를 보여 매우 낮은 교통안전성을 나타내었다. 또한, OECD 주요 선진 7개국과 비교하여 한국의 교통사고율은 2배이상 높은 것으로 분석되어 한국의 교통사고와 관련된 교통안전도가 매우 떨어지는 수준으로 평가되었다. 향후 국내교통사고 목표치를 유럽 선진국가의 교통사고율을 기준으로 제시하였다.

Objectives: To describe the rate of injuries among infants and toddlers. and to investigate the attitude. knowledge. and practice on safety of their mothers. Methods: The total sample consisted of 308 mothers with infants or toddlers from two public health centers in two cities in Kyunggi Province. A questionnaire was used to collect data. which was analyzed with SPSS 11.5 Win program. Results: Thirty-eight percent of the subjects had experienced home accidents. Fall. burn. and laceration were the most frequently occurred home injuries. Most of the mothers were anxious for child accidents, and $59.4\%$ of mothers thought of safety as a primary concern. The mean score of knowledge on safety was 7.63. and the mean score of practice on safety was 34.76. Safety knowledge was significantly higher in mothers with higher education. higher income. and experience of having information on safety. but safety practice was not different depending on these factors. There was a negative correlation between safety practice and child rearing burden. Conclusions: The rate of injuries among infants and toddlers was still high compared to other developed countries. This study provided basic data about the accidents of infants and toddlers. and the level of safety knowledge and safety practice of their mothers. The related factors found in this study should be considered when providing anticipatory guidance or developing injury prevention programs for mothers.

This study analyzes the impact of regular preventive maintenance (PM) on reducing the failure rate and occurrence of falling accidents of industrial overhead doors. A reliable safety device model with an additional safety device, which is installed to replace a defective one, is proposed. The research methodology involves collecting breakdown and falling accident records, comparing and analyzing data before and after regular PM implementation, and experimenting with two types of retrofittable safety devices. Key findings are as follows. 1. Regular PM implementation significantly reduces the failure rate of old overhead doors. 2. A parallel structured model with two alternative safety devices can minimize falling accident risks. The study's contributions include the following. 1. The positive impact of PM on extending overhead door lifespan is quantified. 2. A general safety device model that can be retrofitted and used as replacement with a fail-safe function is proposed.

To the removal of hardness materials, we've test the absorptive capacity of main material $Mg^{2+},\;Ca^{2+}$ on the using the activated carbon powder saturated in 0.1M Nitrilotriacetic acid by experimental methods. The absorptive properties of $Ca^{2+}\;and\;Mg^{2+}$ were measured with absorbent quantity and contact time., and investigated the physical properties of overall rate constant and adsorption constant adsorption isotherm, and Langmuir and Freundlich constant. In case of k' adsorption rate constants of $Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}$, was 0.00299, 0.00529 by Bhattahary and Venkobachar equation. $k_{aa}$ was 0.00373, 0.00640 according with adsorption rate constants of Lagergren.

The coflow velocity effect on the minimum extinguishing concentration(MEC) was investigated experimentally in heptane cup-burner flames. Various inert gases($N_2$, Ar, $CO_2$, He) were added into the oxidizer to find the critical concentration and the effectiveness of the agents on flame extinction. The experimental results showed that the MECs were increased with increasing coflow velocity for most inert gases except helium, but the higher coflow velocity induced the lower burning rates of heptane. This indicated that the increase of coflow velocity resulted in the decrease of fuel velocity evaporated from fuel surface, and hence the stain rate on the reaction zone was also decreased. In the case of helium as a additive, the extinguishing concentration was independent of the coflow velocity because the heat conductivity was ten times larger than the other inert gases and flow effect by a strain rate might be compensated for heat loss to the surroundings.

Objectives: To find out from an analysis of empirical data the levels of influence, which a labor union (LU) and Occupational Safety and Health Committee (OSHC) have in reducing the occupational injury and illness rate (OIIR) through their accident prevention activities in manufacturing industries with five or more employees. Methods: The empirical data used in this study are the Occupational Safety and Health Tendency survey data, Occupational Accident Compensation data and labor productivity and sales data for the years 2003 to 2007. By matching these three sources of data, a final data set (n = 280) was developed and analyzed using SPSS version 18 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: It was found that a workplace with a LU has a lower OIIR than one without a LU. In manufacturing industries with five or more employees in 2007, the OIIR of the workplaces without a LU was 0.87%, while that of workplaces with a LU was much lower at 0.45%. In addition, workplaces with an established OSHC had a lower OIIR than those without an OSHC. Conclusion: It was found that the OIIR of workplaces with a LU is lower than those without a LU. Moreover, those with the OSHC usually had a lower OIIR than those without. The workplace OIIR may have an impact on management performance because the rate is negatively correlated with labor productivity and sales. In the long run, the OIIR of workplaces will be reduced when workers and employers join forces and recognize that the safety and health activities of the workplace are necessary, not only for securing the health rights of the workers, but also for raising labor productivity.

In order to examine the thermal properties of the wire materials, we analyzed the shrinkage, the expansion and the form transformation, the surface structure according to the thermal deterioration temperature through the testing method for a heating shrinkage of Korean Industrial Standard(KS C 3004). For IV(600V grade polyvinyl chloride insulated wires), we measured the shrinkage and the expansion rate, analyzed the surface structure using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). In the result of this experiment, the shrinkage rate of IV 2.0mm covering was high in comparison with other wires. As the deterioration temperature rises gradually, the covering is molten and harden.

연구목적: 환경부 통계에 의하면 2014년부터 2023년까지 국내 화재·폭발사고가 132건 이상에 이르는 것을 알 수 있다. 이중 화재·폭발사고는 발생 시 규모나 영향이 상대적으로 매우 커서 주의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 인화성의 유해화학물질 취급 시 실내 취급시설의 적정 환기율을 계산하는 새로운 합리적인 방법을 제안하였다. 연구방법: 취급시설의 바닥면적만을 기준으로 한 현행 화학물질관리법 상 계산방법과 비교하여 보다 합리적인 새로운 방법은 취급하는 유해화학물질의 물리화학적인 특성을 기반으로 계산하는 방법이다. 연구결과:물리화학적 특성을 고려하여 계산한 결과 인화성물질 178종 중 168종인 약 94%이 환기량 기준에 적합하였다. 그러나 일부 물질은 과소환기 및 과대환기를 요구하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론:본 연구를 통해 합리적인 필요환기량 산정방법을 제안하였고 이를 통해 근로자의 안전을 확보하고 생명을 보호해야 할 것이다.

In spite of the rapid economic growth in Korea, safety cultures in construction industry have not much improved during last ten years. When it is compared to other developed countries of safety, accident rate of Korean construction sites shows bleak figures. This study compares the safety figures of Korea with the UK figures in order to find out what is needed for the safety of the construction sites in Korea. By comparing occupations, age groups, kind of accident, and agent, this study found several differences and similarities, and derived the directions for better safety management.
