Background: It is acknowledged that legislation acts as a motivator for organizational action on psychosocial risks. Our study aims to provide evidence on the relationship between key occupational safety and health (OSH) policy principles and organizational action on work-related stress, and, in turn, with reported employee job demands and resources and their experience of work-related stress. We focus on Italy where specific legislation and practices on work-related stress were introduced in 2008 which are underpinned by these key OSH policy principles. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Italian samples from the employer ESENER-2 and employee 6th EWCS surveys was conducted, using path analysis in structural equation modeling (SEM) linking the two datasets. Results: We found a strong statistically significant relationship between OSH policy principles and organizational action on work-related stress (C.I. = .62-.78 p < .001). The existence of an organizational action plan on work-related stress was found to be significantly associated with more reported job resources (C.I. = .02-.24, p < .05) but these were not found to be significantly associated with less work-related stress. No significant association was found between having an organizational action plan for work-related stress and reported job demands. However, job demands were significantly related to reported work-related stress (C.I. = .27-.47, p < .001). Conclusions: Findings add support to the call for specific legislation on work-related psychosocial risks and highlight how an organizational OSH culture underpinned by key OSH principles, and awareness/competence development on psychosocial risk management can have a positive effect on organizational action. However, further support needs to be provided to organizations around developing primary prevention interventions at the organizational level with the aim of reducing job demands.

Since last year, the government has enforced the 'Act on the Punishment of Severe Accidents, Etc.' (hereafter referred to as the 'Serious Accident Punishment Act'), which punishes business owners and business managers who fail to fulfill their duty of safety measures with 'imprisonment of one year or more' and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Based on this, various occupational safety and health policies were developed, including the operation of a system related to entrusting the work of safety managers. Despite these efforts, the effect of implementing the Severe Accident Punishment Act is a groundbreaking change in the current disaster prevention policy, which has increased by 0.02%P and 0.03‱P, respectively, from the previous year to 0.65% of the total accident rate and 1.10‱ of the death rate per 10,000 people as of 2022. As the need emerged, attention was paid to 'collaboration and governance with safety management institutions' in the 'Severe Disaster Reduction Roadmap' announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in November 2022. In this study, a meaningful result was derived by comparing and analyzing the industrial accident status of workplaces entrusted by "A" safety management institutions with the national average based on the industrial accident survey table, and the types of industrial accidents that occurred in consigned workplaces were selected as intensive management targets. The policy direction for industrial accident prevention was established. It is necessary to develop safety management work manuals based on the results of this study, expertise, discover best cases of risk assessment and develop guides, and educate and train consigned workers. In addition, it suggests that the government's guidance and supervision are needed to advance the professionalism of safety management entrusted tasks, and that safety management institutions should strengthen their roles and functions for preventing and reducing industrial accidents. However, due to difficulties in disclosing information of specialized safety management institutions, the limitation of the provision, collection, and viewing of research-related data to "A" specialized safety management institutions remains a limitation of the research. It seems likely that more thorough research will be conducted.

Background: This foundational study on educational interventions aimed to analyze the changes in awareness, knowledge, and attitudes of young learners after they received objective information on safety management. Materials and Methods: Educational sessions on nuclear power and radiation safety were delivered to 4,934 Korean elementary, middle, and high school students in two separate sessions conducted in 2016 and 2017. The effects of these interventions were subsequently analyzed. Results and Discussion: Learner attitudes toward safety were found to be the predominant variables affecting the post-intervention risk (safety) awareness of nuclear power generation. Conclusion: The safety awareness of future generations will significantly influence policy decisions on nuclear power generation. Hence, the design of educational interventions on this subject must match variables suited to learner levels.

The purpose of this study is to investigate 5th grade elementary school girls' effort to recognize and use nutritional labels on processed foods and restaurant meals to encourage dietary behavior. The subjects (n=976) were divided into three groups (effort group, n=711; normal group, n=193; and no-effort group, n=72) depending on level of effort for the healthy dietary behavior such as eating balanced meals, eating three meals regularly, and eating meals slowly. In the effort group, the frequency of food intake for breads, ramen, noodles and fast foods was significantly lower, while frequency of food intake for fruits and vegetables and salad was significantly higher than in the other two groups. In the effort group, the ratio of the respondents that perception of nutrition labeling on processed foods and restaurant meals was 80.5% and 31.4% and the ratio of girls who checked the nutrition labeling at their point of purchase was 71.1% and 24.7%, respectively. Reasons given for not reading nutrition labeling for restaurant meals were 'not interested' for 34.6% of the effort group, and 52.2% of the no-effort group. Therefore, it is necessary to create an educational program on healthy dietary behavior, including how to read nutrition labeling and establishment of proper body image perception for elementary school girls.

이 연구는 시행된 지 200여일이 지난 정부의 4대악 정책에 대해 살펴보고, 비판적 시각에서 검토해 본 후, 향후 정책적 방향을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 2013년 새 정부의 정책적 화두 중 대표적인 키워드는 '안전'이다. 국민의 안전과 관련된 세부 항목 중에서도 '4대악'은 박근혜 정부가 근절시키고자 하는 중점 과제라는 점은 명백한 사실이다. 4대악은 성폭력, 학교폭력, 가정폭력, 불량식품을 의미하는 것으로 국민의 생활에 직 간접적으로 악영향을 끼치는 범죄를 의미하는 표현이다. 지금까지 4대악 정책과 관련하여 다양한 논의가 전개되어 왔지만 이에 대해 비판적 시각에서 논의를 이끌어 낸 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 시점에서 사회안전에 대한 우선과제로 대두되고 있는 4대 사회악 근절 방안에 관해 관심을 갖고, 진단 및 평가를 하는 것은 시기적으로 적절하다고 여겨진다. 하지만 이 연구는 4대악 정책에 대하여 단순히 비판적 입장을 견지하는 것이 요지는 아니다. 4대악 정책에 대한 실태와 운영 활동을 정책의 기본 구성틀에 근거하여 계획부문과 집행부분에 맞춰 살펴봄으로써 궁극적으로 4대악 정책이 사회안전망 구축의 토대로 작용할 수 있길 기대하고 있다.

The safety standard for suspended access equipments(SAE) is developed. During the development of the safety standard, consideration was given to a close examination of the standards existing in other industrialized regions and nations such as the Eu.opean Union(EU), the United States, and Japan, as well as the existing domestic safety regulation. Also, a consideration was given to the appraising of the technical level and market conditions of the domestic industry. After careful examination of the current safety practices and issues, it was decided that the standard under development should closely follow those of the EU safety standard. The EU standard provides a detailed account of the calculation methods, safety and stability factors, testing apparatus and procedure, all under unified framework. A number of specific safety requirements have been modified in an effect to properly reflect the difficulties faced by the domestic industry. It is hoped that the safety standard developed here can serve as a valuable tool for policy decisions regarding worker safety.
