Safety has once again emerged as a social issue due to the enforcement of the Serious Disasters Punishment Act and the occurrence of major disasters recently. As such, the safety culture related to unsafe human behavior is drawing attention as various discussions about the importance of safety and accident prevention are currently being undertaken. This study aims to determine whether changes in the level of safety culture in companies affect the accident rate. To this end, we targeted three workplaces in the same company in the domestic manufacturing industry, and 2,790 people were surveyed using DNV's Safety Will(ISRS-C version 4.0) for safety culture level diagnosis. The change in safety culture level and accident rate were compared and analyzed after carrying out safety culture level improvement activities for 5 years. As a result, the level of safety culture increased by 5.8 points, an overall improvement of 9.5%, while the total number of accidents decreased by 20%, from 5 to 4, indicating a general decreasing trend in accident occurrence. Results confirmed that the change in the level of safety culture affects the accident rate, and the improvement in the level of safety culture affects a reduction in accidents. Therefore, this study suggests that efforts to improve the level of safety culture within a company can be associated with accident reduction and accident prevention outcomes.

예부선의 운항은 일반적으로 자항능력을 갖추고 있지 못한 부선과 예인선을 결합하여 운항하는 해상운송의 한 형태로 해양안 전심판원이 해마다 발행하는 재결사례집에 실린 재결을 분석하여보면 지난 5년간의 해양사고 6백여 건 중 예인선은 65척, 부선은 총 69척 에서 사고가 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문은 예부선 사고의 저감 대책을 제안하기 위하여, 예부선의 운항 형태와 운항현황을 알아보 고, 재결에 나타난 주요 사고 형태별 사고방지 교훈 내용을 분석하였다. 이를 통하여 인적요소가 해양사고의 원인으로서 차지하는 비율이 크다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구는 사고방지를 위하여 예부선 운항자들에 대한 관련 내용의 효율적인 홍보와 교육을 위한 방 안으로서 예부선 협회를 통해 홍보하는 방안과 한국해양수산연수원의 예인선직무교육에 교육자료 형태로 제공하는 방안, 한국해운조합 을 통해 홍보물을 배포하는 방법 등을 제안하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 예부선 사고에서 나타난 사고방지 교훈을 본 연구에서 제안한 홍 보방식을 통하여 효과적인 교육을 실현하여 예부선 사고의 저감에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of organizational safety and health management activities on safety and health performance by using the results of safety activity level evaluation of public organizations. To this end, a research model was established by using three fields as independent variables among the four areas of the safety activity level evaluation index: safety and health system, safety and health activity plan, and safety and health activity level, and the safety and health activity performance field as a dependent variable. Correlation analysis and regression analysis between major variables were performed. As a result of the correlation analysis, the safety and health activity performance had a significant positive (+) correlation with all of the safety and health system, safety and health activity plan, and safety and health activity level. The safety and health system had a significant positive (+) correlation with the safety and health activity plan and safety and health activity level, and the safety and health activity plan had a significant positive (+) correlation with the safety and health activity level. And as a result of the regression analysis, it was found that the organization’s safety and health system, safety and health activity plan, and safety and health activity level all had a significant positive (+) effect on safety and health activity performance.

The applications of information and communication technology (ICT) into real industrial fields are getting great attentions in recent years. More and more industrial practitioners and scientific researchers are conducting studies and trying to adopt the technologies into diverse industrial fields. The purpose of this study is to review the technologies such as big data and smart sensors and to provide application cases in order to facilitate grafting the 4th industrial revolutionary technologies onto the safety and health systems. Based on the comprehensive reviews on literature, reports, and industrial cases, we found that big data technology has been used in industries for investigating work related disease. In addition, digital image technology and drone have been applied to establish safety system in construction industry. Lastly, some companies have tried to apply the technologies to build their own safety and health system.

우리나라에서는 1995년 부터 시설물의 안전관리에 관한 특별법(이하 시특법)이 시행되어 왔다. 그 이후, 우리나라에서는 크고 작은 사건사고가 있었고, 구조적 안전성 확보를 위해 수차례의 법 개정이 있었다. 한국시설안전공단에서는 건축물 정밀안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 보고서를 시특법에 근거해 평가하며 그 결과를 사례집을 통해 주기적으로 발간하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 안전성 검사 및 진단을 위한 기술 및 제도 개선 방안 도출에 있다. 이를 위해 2011 년부터 2015 년까지 시설안전공단에서 발행한 정밀안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 보고서의 평가 사례 데이터를 비교 분석하였다. 비교 분석 결과를 토대로 정밀안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 수행 중 발생하는 문제의 원인을 파악하기 위해 전문가를 대상으로 한 설문 조사를 실시하였다.
