Risk assessment in the manufacturing field has greatly contributed to rationalization and improvement of image of enterprise by preventing of serious accident and through systematic management of pre-risk factors for each manufacturing process, proceduralization of work processes, and simplification of safety management documents. However, as applied to manufacturing industries requiring diversity and complexity,€perfunctory improvement has been carried out. As a result of the study, the current system of risk assessment is generally implemented by upper management, whereas, it turns out that workers who are most exposed to risk have lack of knowledge and understanding of risk assessment. In order to improve the problems in the current system of manufacturing risk assessment and increase practicality, following two methods have been suggested to implement. One is an execution of risk assessment training for manufacturing safety and health and the other is an application of participatory (workers) risk assessment training.

The international trade of live amphibian can cause spread of the amphibian fungal disease chytridiomycosis, which has resulted in amphibian population decline worldwide. Introduction of the causal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), to South Korea via the importation of live amphibians will have a negative effect on the survival of native amphibian communities. We investigated the likelihood that Bd would be introduced to the captive and wild amphibian population in South Korea by applying standardized risk analysis. We found that the likelihood of entry of Bd into South Korea was high, but that Bd exposure to the captive amphibians had a low impact, while it had a high impact on wild amphibians. Overall, the risk of live amphibian importation for pet trade or zoos was high in wild amphibians, while it was moderate for laboratory or human consumption in wild amphibians. Accordingly, risk management measures to reduce the risks related to live amphibian importation are required.

In this study, we analyzed the factors affecting the concentration of airborne asbestos fiber in the indoor and outdoor environment of a slate roofing house, and performed a health risk assessment of residents living in houses with slate roofs. Sampling was conducted at ten houses with slate roofs on 3 different days under different weather conditions. A high flow rate pump was used for sampling. The specimen was assessed using a phase-contrast microscope. The degree of risk of exposure to asbestos was assessed using EPA’s carcinogen risk assessment method. Asbestos fiber concentrations for slate roofing houses were 2.43 fiber/L inside and 2.46 fiber/L outside, respectively. The correlation between the indoor and outdoor asbestos fiber concentration was 0.486. But on both sides, the asbestos fiber concentrations did not exceed the standard (10 fiber/L) for ambient air in Korea. The factors affecting the concentration of asbestos fiber were year of construction (p<0.05), total roof area (p<0.05) and average wind velocity (p<0.01). According to EPA’s ELCR (Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk) on air pollution substances, a level of 1.0E-04~1.0E-06 should be maintained. However, the ELCR level of 6 out of 10 houses was over 1.0E-04. Therefore, a risk management plan for residents of slate roofing houses must be prepared immediately.

The consumer products in the living environments include a variety of chemicals which could be harmful in the human health. The aim of this study was to assess the inhalation exposure and risk for cleaning workers who had used bleach in the university. A total of 81 cleaning workers took part in this study. Frequency and amount of cleaning bleach during working hours were investigated by questionnaire interviews. Exposure assessment was used by the exposure algorithm and exposure factors. Used cleaning bleaches were analyzed to identify the ingredients, and risk by exposure was assessed by separating as carcinogen and non-carcinogen substances. The results of chemical substances and the questionnaire were used to assess the exposure factors, and the inhalation doses were calculated through inhalation exposure algorithm. According to the questionnaires for the cleaning workers, frequence of cleaning bleach was 11.66 ± 7.21 times per month. And average usage time and amount per cleaning work were 30.78 ± 36.00 minute and 20099.53 ± 12998.60 mg, respectively. Risks for carcinogenic substances of formaldehyde, ethylbenzene, and chloroform were exceeded by 56.79%, 27.16%, and 82.72% as the reference value of 10−6, respectively.

The vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean was developed by introducing a perilla γ- tocopherol methyltransferase gene (γ-TMT) under the control of pea vicilin promoter and a selection marker, phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) gene. With regard to the potential problems of safety, the non-target organism evaluation is required as an essential element for the environmental risk assessment of genetically modified (GM) crops. We studied the effects of the vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean feeding on survival of Daphnia magna which is commonly used as a model organism in ecotoxicological studies. The Daphnia magna was fed on vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean and non-genetically modified (non-GM) soybean (Willams 82) at 0, 1,000, 1,800, 3,240, 5,830, 10,500 and 20,000 mg/L concentrations, respectively. The GM soybean used for the test was confirmed to have the γ-TMT/PAT gene expression by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The results showed that there was no significant differences between cumulative immobilities of Daphnia magna fed on GM soybean and non-GM soybean. The 48hr-EC50 values showed no significant differences between GM soybean (2,416 mg/L) and non-GM soybean (2,408 mg/L). The results of this study suggested that there was no significant differences in toxicity for Daphnia magna between GM soybean and non-GM counterpart.

The project schedule risk in the engineering and facility construction industry is increasingly considered as important management factor because the risks in terms of schedule or deadline may significantly affect the project cost. Especially, the project-based operating companies attempt to find the best estimate of the project completion time for use at their proposals, and therefore, usually have much interest in accurate estimation of the duration of the projects. In general, the management of projects schedule risk is achieved by modeling project schedule with PERT/CPM techniques, and then performing risk assessment with simulation such as Monte-Carlo simulation method. However, since these approaches require the accumulated executional data, which are not usually available in project-based operating company, and, further, they cannot reflect various schedule constraints, which usually are met during the project execution, the project managers have difficulty in preparing for the project risks in advance of their occurrence in the project execution. As these constraints may affect time and cost which role as the crucial evaluation factors to the quality of the project result, they must be identified and described in advance of their occurrence in the project management. This paper proposes a Bayesian Net based methodology for estimating project schedule risk by identifying and enforcing the project risks and its response plan which may occur in storage tank engineering and construction project environment. First, we translated the schedule network with the project risks and its response plan into Bayesian Net. Second, we analyzed the integrated Bayesian Net and suggested an estimate of project schedule risk with simulation approach. Finally, we applied our approach to a storage tank construction project to validate its feasibility.

침몰선박은 침몰 당시뿐만 아니라 오랜 시간이 경과된 후에도 선체 내에 잔존하고 있는 연료유 등 유해물질의 지속적 혹은 일시적 유출로 2차 해양오염사고를 발생시킬 수 있다. 정부에서는 1999년부터 침몰선박에 대한 관리업무를 수행하고, 침몰선박의 잠재적 위해도를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 위해도 평가표를 개발하여 운영함으로써 침몰선박에 대한 국가적 관리체계를 구축하고 있다. 그러나 현재의 침몰선박의 위해도 평가는 침몰선박에 잔존하고 있는 연료유 등의 양에 의해 평가점수가 판이하게 달라짐에도 불구하고, 침몰선박 현황보고자료 중 상당수가 연료유 잔존량 항목이 누락되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선박 연료유 잔존량에 대한 추정모델을 개발하여, 현행 침몰선박 위해도 평가에 적용함으로써 보다 정확한 평가를 수행할 수 있는 방안을 마련하였다.

본 연구에서는 침몰선박 위해도 평가항목 및 평가지수를 개정하고 신규항목을 도출하기 위해 전문가를 대상으로 AHP 기법의 설문을 실시하였다. 설문조사 결과, 사고원인 및 조류영향 등 두개의 신규항목을 도출하였으며 하나의 그룹으로 평가되었던 독성액체물질과 연료유적재량, 폭발성가스는 각각 평가하는 것이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 기존 일곱 개 평가항목을 열한 개 항목으로 조정하여 평가항목별 지수를 분석한 결과, 독성액체물질, 유출가능성, 폭발성가스, 연료유적재량, 해역환경민감도, 해상교통환경, 사고원인, 조류, 여유수심, 선박종류, 선박규모 순으로 평가지수가 나타났다. 특히, 신규 도출된 평가항목 지수를 기존 위해도 평가항목과 비교해 보았을 때 해역환경민감도와 유출가능성 항목은 기존 평가지수 보다 높게 나타났고, 여유수심 항목의 평가지수는 더 낮게나타났다.

본 연구에서는 강풍 위험과 강풍 취약도의 합성곱을 통하여 강풍 위험도를 평가할 수 있는 확률적 체계를 수립하였으며, 수치적으로 개발한 모형으로 아파트 창호 시스템의 강풍 위험도를 평가하였다. 강풍 위험 모형은 1951년부터 2013년까지에 한반도에 영향을 준 태풍의 기후학적 자료를 몬테카를로 모사기법에 적용하여 개발되었다. 또한 몬테카를로 모사기법으로 창호 시스템의 저항성능과 풍하중의 확률 분포를 비교하여 강풍에 대한 4가지 피해단계의 구조적 파괴확률을 평가할 수 있는 취약도 모형이 개발되었다. 개발된 몬테카를로 모사기법으로 평가한 강풍 위험과 강풍 취약도는 각각 웨이블 분포와 로그정규분포로 곡선맞춤 되었으며, 합성곱을 통한 강풍 위험도 평가에 사용되었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 확률적 위험도 평가체계를 통하여 평가지역, 지표조도, 지형, 지붕 경사각, 건물 높이 등이 아파트 창호 시스템의 강풍 위험도에 미치는 영향성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있었다. 향후 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 강풍 위험도 평가 모델은 평가지역의 존재하는 건축물에 대한 데이터베이스와 결합하여 손실추정 및 피해 저감대책 수립 등의 분야에서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recent News patrons of incidents can be called sinkhole that occurred one after another (Sink Hole). Due to this anytime, anywhere I do not know how the land is turned off worry and anxiety is the reason why you can never be dismissed as exaggerated. As we have seen today through the video, the vehicle was traveling on a road or pedestrian who was walking down the street they look out of the basement of a sudden they still come to mind vividly. Here, examples and corresponding measures to prevent the sinkhole off the ground, including the causes and impact on society because of this that occurred, and policy measures and abroad are evaluated with respect to what it is.

Sawmilling industry remained a high risk with the average 4.73% of industrial accidents in 2010-2012 that was eight times that of general manufacturing. Sawmilling industry had 200 industrial accidents victim in average. Manufacturing process in sawmill industry contained dangerous machinery such as conveyors, roller, saw ( band saw, circular saw) etc. It may be effective to figure out the type of industrial accidents occurred in the past and extend risk assessment which can predict hazard such as near miss when implementing exposure or potential dangers in sawmill industry. This study conducted research on the actual condition on the place of industrial accident occurrence, detailed work and contact object when injured, and injured part targeting 643 businesses which had industrial accidents in 2010-2012. As the results, RPN of general sawmill industry was the highest 'ganglip saw' with 36,157. RPN of the following order were 'moving truck' with 25,454, 'special machining operations' with 22,283. Also, probability of general sawmill industry was a lots within 1 year, while risk appeared a lots within 5 years. So, risk assessment shall be needed to emphasis on accident prevention of sawmill industry. And additional work will be needed on the risk assessment in hazard prevention work of supervisors.
