In this article, improvement of heat screen failure for battle tank is proposed. The heat screen applied to protect a cam sensor from engine heat was cracked by vibrations generated in the engine. To solve this problem, the configuration of the heat screen was changed to a structure that can avoid engine vibration levels. The improved heat screen has first mode frequency at 4,000 RPM band outside the main operating range of the engine, and heat dissipation is at the same level as conventional heat screen. As a result, the improved heat screen secured reliability by improving vibration effects by approximately 163% while maintaining heat dissipation performance.

The main hydraulic pump is a device that generates the hydraulic pressure needed for the K2 tank. It is a pressure-compensated swash plate piston pump that generates the hydraulic power necessary to drive the hydraulic device. Hydraulic pump design changes were made due to frequent failures of the hydraulic pump. As a result of checking the operation records of the hydraulic pump, about 71% of the total engine operation time was in a stationary state where hydraulic pressure was not needed. This has the problem of constantly running when the engine is started, consuming unnecessary endurance time, and generating high noise. In this study, ISG(Idle Stop & Go) was applied to improve operation method. When applying ISG, the pressure can be reduced to about 85% or less in an environment where the operation of the main hydraulic pump is not necessary. So, the lifespan of the main hydraulic pump increases as a result of ISG application, thereby reducing the waste of national funds due to maintenance costs. Also, it is expected to contribute to improving combat power by reducing crew fatigue due to noise reduction.

The study is conducted in order to identify whether there is difference in laboratory safety management committee and safety manager appointment for type of institutes(university, research institute, enterprise institute). The study conducted statistical analysis of 2484 institutes (university, research institute, enterprise institute) that attended 'current status of laboratory safety management' by year(number of current status participation). As a result, university showed increase in forming safety management committee as the number of current status(year) increases. The number of safety management committee held were the highest amongst all institutes being 2 held/ 2 year. Furthermore, period of safety management committee held at university and research institutes are decreasing stately. For 2014, the rate of hosting periodic committee and temporary committee simultaneously when necessary are increasing. The rate of appointing safety manager who is in charge of laboratory safety is increasing in university, but it is decreasing in research institute and enterprise institute. The work pattern of safety manager in university is increase in exclusive duties and decrease in adjunct duties, while work pattern in research institute and enterprise institute is more on the contract duties.
