In recent years, electric shock accidents at industrial sites continue to occur, and various measures are being taken to reduce accidents. Among them, safety education is mentioned as a basic measure for the prevention of industrial accidents and the protection of workers. This study attempted to empirically analyze the effect of electrical safety education on safety consciousness and safety behavior and verify whether it is effective. To this end, a total of 343 people, including workplace managers and workers, were surveyed, and frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and simple linear & hierarchical regression analysis were conducted using the SPSS 24.0 statistical program. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that the higher the electrical safety education, the more positive (+) effect was on the safety consciousness. Second, it was found that the higher the electrical safety education, the more significant positive (+) effect was on safety behavior. Third, it was found that the higher the safety consciousness, the more positive (+) effect was on safety behavior. Finally, it was verified that safety consciousness plays a partial mediating role in the influence of electrical safety education on safety behavior.
This study systematically analyzed the causes of recurring electric shock accidents using accident analysis techniques and attempted to suggest implications for accident prevention. 124 electrocution death accidents that occurred from 2017 to 2022 were analyzed and classified into four factors(organizational influence, unsafe supervision, preconditions for unsafe acts, and unsafe acts) using the HFACS technique. As a result, First, in terms of organizational influence, many issues related to organizational processes were found, and the main causes were the lack of a safety management manual for electrical work, the lack of risk assessment, and the lack of safety procedures for electrical work. Second, in terms of unsafe supervision, the main causes were inappropriate operations such as not assigning a work supervisor during work or the lack of actual management and supervision. Third, in terms of preconditions for unsafe acts, the main causes were physical and technical problems such as not performing power outage work or not taking protective measures for live parts. Fourth, in terms of unsafe acts, the main causes were analyzed to be violations of safety procedures such as workers mistaking a power outage or not recognizing a current leakage condition, making a wrong judgment of the situation, and shortening the work time and working without safety measures for work convenience. Additionally, when examining whether the personal characteristics of those who died from electric shock had significant differences in unsafe behaviors, it was confirmed that there were significant differences in violations or decision-making errors depending on the industry and electrical-related major.
Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to examine disconnection between supply and demand shipping market, which means shipowner has determined to raise capacity in bust period.
Research design, data, and methodology – The research method to be applied is first to look into conceptual theory about shipping market, and then to study imbalance of supply and demand situations in shipping on crisis, and next, to analyses paradoxical aspects traced.
Results – Shipping market is a volatile and cyclic characteristics, and its situations have to be examined very carefully. Since financial crisis has broken up in 2008, it is natural to think that world trade volumes has reduced rapidly, which means demand for shipping service has fallen, and accordingly, tonnage should be stagnated as well. However, shipping companies have put capacity into market as unexpectedly. This is because of economy of scale and time lag. Here, this can be explained in terms of paradox that is proved in this paper.
Conclusions – From careful research in this paper, it is found that supply and demand are not always got along with market situations, in other words supply side could be working well, in spite of depression time of demand situations in world shipping markets.
Purpose – Purpose of paper is to clarify this PPP((Public Private Partnerships)’s essence and advantages as well as disadvantages, and then it will take it out some conclusions and implication together. To do so, PPP should be examined carefully and then landlord port will be investigated in view of PPP, then, it will give some implications whether or not PPP is successful to apply more port in concern. Research Design, data, and methodology – The methodology that I take is to look into both PPPs and then to look intp landlord port in view of PPP. By doing so, it can be more understandable to PPP in port industry. Results – It can be found that landlord port system is more valuable and applicable instrument to adapt for port competitiveness and productivity, which leads to efficient port management. Conclusions – Landlord port system is an alternative instrument to be apply to port management in terms of PPP, and it has been justified that many worldclass port has taken this landlord port management system.
