PURPOSES : Recently, interest in radioactive accidents has increased due to domestic and international nuclear power plant accidents. In particular, local residents' concerns are increasing due to safety issues such as radioactive leaks at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant in South Korea. As Gwangju Metropolitan City is not included in the emergency planning area set by the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, there are significant limitations to establishing disaster prevention measures for nuclear power plant accidents. Considering the Fukushima and Hanbit nuclear power plant accidents, the improvement of Gwangju Metropolitan City's radioactive leak accident response manual is urgently required. This study aimed to establish disaster prevention measures to respond to nuclear power plant accidents in Gwangju Metropolitan City in the event of a Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant accident and to improve resident protection measures by estimating the arrival time of radioactive materials and radiation dosage through a nuclear power plant accident simulation. Additionally, we aimed to supplement the on-site action manual for radioactive leaks at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. METHODS : This study focused on establishing disaster prevention measures centered on Gwangju Metropolitan City in the event of a major accident such as a radioactive leak at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. Simulations were conducted assuming a major accident such as a radioactive leak, measures to improve resident protection were established by calculating the arrival time of radioactive materials and radiation dosage in the Gwangju area in the event of a nuclear power plant accident, and on-site response action manuals were supplemented in response to a radioactive leak. RESULTS : This study considered the concerns of local residents due to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident and the Hanbit nuclear power plant failure, conducted a simulation to derive the impact on Gwangju Metropolitan City, and examined the effectiveness of an on-site response manual for radioactive leaks to derive improvement measures. CONCLUSIONS : In the event of an accident at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant in Gwangju Metropolitan City, insufficient portions of the on-site response action manual should be supplemented, and close cooperation with local governments within the emergency planning area should be ensured to respond to radioactive disasters. Therefore, based on the revised on-site response action manual for radioactive leaks, close cooperation and a clear division of roles among local governments will enable effective resident protection measures to be implemented in the event of a radioactive disaster.

고주파 흡수제(Accusorb MRI)를 이용한 자기공명영상 검사 중 화재가 발생했다. 다행히 환자는 화상을 입지는 않았 지만 스트랩과 4채널 코일의 케이블, Accusorb MRI가 녹아서 탄 흔적이 발견되었다. 자기공명영상 검사에 사용되 는 도구의 안전 지침을 준수해야 하지만 이를 지키지 않으면 화상, 열상, 장비 손상의 위험이 있다. 사고를 방지하기 위해서는 철저한 사전 점검을 해야 하고 모든 기기, 물품들이 자기공명영상 검사 시 사용 가능한 제품인지 확인하고 사용법을 정확하게 숙지하여야 한다.

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.

매년 우리나라 연안해역에서 항해 중인 소형선박 및 소형어선과 연안에 어 로작업을 위해 설치된 시설물과의 접촉 사고가 빈번하게 발생한다. 이러한 사 고들은 주로 연안해역에 설치된 양식장, 정치망, 자망 등으로 인해 발생하며,선박 사고의 일반적인 원인으로는 항해 중인 선박에서 선원의 상무인 경계 소 홀, 침로 유지 및 선위 확인의 미충실, 항해 일반원칙과 국제해상충돌방지규칙 의 미준수 등 여러 가지가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 어구손상사고와 관련된 사고의 원인을 검토하기 위해 해양안전심판원 재결서를 통해 분석하였으며, 그 결과 사고의 원인으로 경계 소홀, 설치된 어구와 적절한 거리 미확보, 항해 계 획 수립 미비 등이 사고의 원인으로 작용한 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 인적요 인으로 발생하는 사고를 줄이기 위해서는 선원의 꾸준한 안전교육이나 선박 안 전관리체제의 시스템 변경과 같은 오랜 시간과 많은 비용이 필요하다. 본 논문 에서는 어구를 조금 더 빨리 직관적으로 발견하여 인적요소를 제외한 다른 사 고요인을 제거하는 방법으로 사고 발생을 줄일 수 있는 방안을「수산업법」, 「어업면허의 관리 등에 관한 규칙」,「양식장ㆍ어장 표지시설의 설치 기준」, 「양식산업발전법」 등에서 문제점을 파악하고 개선하여 어구손상사고를 줄일 수 있는 방법을 모색해보고자 한다.

해상에서 전복사고가 발생하면 선박이 복원성을 잃고 전복되는 과정에서 승선 하고 있던 선원의 사망․실종․부상 등 인명사고가 발생하는 동시에 전복에 따 른 선체 침수 및 침몰로 인해 선박 소유자는 엄청난 경제적 손실을 입게 된다. 따라서 동일한 전복사고가 발생하는 것을 방지하기 위해서는 현행 선박길이24미터 이상 어선에만 적용되는 복원성검사 및 만재흘수선 표시 규정에 대하 여, 허가받은 어업의 형태와 어구의 종류를 고려하여 총톤수 20톤 미만의 소형 어선으로 확대할 필요가 있다. 또한 기중기 등 조업에 사용하는 중량 어로설비 설치 유무에 따라 추가적인 복원성검사 및 만재흘수선을 표시하고, 사고선박에 대해서는 동일한 사고가 다시 발생하지 않도록 임시검사 규정을 강화하는 등 실질적이고 효과적인 검사 규정이 필요하다. 이에 따라 이 연구에서는 2017년부터 2021년까지 최근 5년간의 해양안전심판 원 재결서를 바탕으로, 자주 발생하고 있는 길이 24미터 미만의 소형어선 전복 사고 발생 원인과 소형어선 검사 규정의 문제점에 관한 연구를 통한 어선검사 규정 개선방안을 모색하였다.

PURPOSES: This study aims to contribute to a better road environment, which can result in accident reduction from two-wheeled vehicles, by analyzing factors affecting the two-wheeled vehicles’ accident severities in Incheon Metropolitan City. METHODS: In this study, the two-wheeled vehicles’ accident severity was classified into four categories (fatal injury, serious injury, minor injury, and injury report) as a dependent variable, and 97 independent variables out of 14 categories were considered to construct an ordered probit model. To determine the factors affecting accident severity, the statistical package LIMDEP was used. RESULTS: Among the variables used in the analysis, variables related to accident occurrence date (first quarter), region (8-district), accident type (passing the edge of the road of the vehicle for a pedestrian accident, fixed object collision, and overturn of vehicle-only accident), violation type (unobtained safety distance, failure to perform safe driving, violation of intersection driving, and violation of others), the type of road (at the intersection, near the intersection, at the crosswalk, near the crosswalk, etc.), gender of assailant (male), vehicle of victim (pedestrian and motorcycle), and age of victim (under 20) were found to have a statistically significant effect on the severity of the accident. CONCLUSIONS: The variables related to accident type (fixed object collision and overturn of vehicle-only accident), gender of assailant (male), and vehicle of victim (pedestrian and motorcycle) have turned out increasing the accident severity. In addition, accident occurrence for two-wheeled vehicles is more diverse and vulnerable to damage than automobile accidents. Therefore, it is time to recognize the seriousness of two-wheeled vehicle accidents and to improve the environment and systems for safe driving.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to develop a crash prediction model at signalized intersections, which can capture the randomness and uncertainty of traffic accident forecasting in order to provide more precise results. METHODS: The authors propose a random parameter (RP) approach to overcome the limitation of the Count model that cannot consider the heterogeneity of the assigned locations or road sections. For the model’s development, 55 intersections located in the Daejeon metropolitan area were selected as the scope of the study, and panel data such as the number of crashes, traffic volume, and intersection geometry at each intersection were collected for the analysis. RESULTS: Based on the results of the RP negative binomial crash prediction model developed in this study, it was found that the independent variables such as the log form of average annual traffic volume, presence or absence of left-turn lanes on major roads, presence or absence of right-turn lanes on minor roads, and the number of crosswalks were statistically significant random parameters, and this showed that the variables have a heterogeneous influence on individual intersections. CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the RP model had a better fit to the data than the fixed parameters (FP) model since the RP model reflects the heterogeneity of the individual observations and captures the inconsistent and biased effects.

본 연구에서는 대표적인 HNS 중 하나인 질산(HNO3)의 유출사고가 해양생태계에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자, (1) 식물플랑크톤(Skeletonema costatum)을 이용한 성장저해시험, (2) 무척추 동물(Brachionus plicatilis, Monocorphium acherusicum), (3) 어류(Cyprinodon variegatus) 및 (4) 발광박테리아(Vibrio fischeri)를 이용한 급·만성 독성시험을 질산의 유출로 인한 (1) pH 변화와 사고 후 질산에서 해리된 (2) 질산염(NO3-) 농도의 변화에 대해 각각 수행하였다. HNO3를 이용한 pH 변화에 대한 독성시험 결과, M. acherusicum이 무영향농도(NOEC), 최저관찰영향농도(LOEC) 및 반수영향농도(72h-EC50) 값이 각각 pH 7(0.3 mM), pH 5(1.1 mM) 및 pH 5.2(1.4 mM)로 가장 민감한 영향이 나타났다. NO3-에 대한 독성시험의 결과, B. plicatilis의 만성독성시험(개체군 성장률시험)결과, NOEC, LOEC 및 96h-EC50 값이 각각 5.9 mM, 11.8 mM 및 32.6 mM로 가장 민감한 영향이 나타났다. 결론적으로 질산 유출사고로 인한 해양생물의 독성영향은 pH의 경우, 선박의 최단 인접지역을 제외하면 그 영향은 극히 미미할 것으로 판단되며 질산염의 경우, 해양생물의 생존 및 번식에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있을 정도의 농도는 일반적인 사고해역에 현실적으로 존재 할 수 없는 농도로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : This study tries to develop the accident models of 4-legged signalized intersections in Busan Metropolitan city with random parameter in count model to understanding the factors mainly influencing on accident frequencies. METHODS: To develop the traffic accidents modeling, this study uses RP(random parameter) negative binomial model which enables to take account of heterogeneity in data. By using RP model, each intersection’s specific geometry characteristics were considered. RESULTS : By comparing the both FP(fixed parameter) and RP modeling, it was confirmed the RP model has a little higher explanation power than the FP model. Out of 17 statistically significant variables, 4 variables including traffic volumes on minor roads, pedestrian crossing on major roads, and distance of pedestrian crossing on major/minor roads are derived as having random parameters. In addition, the marginal effect and elasticity of variables are analyzed to understand the variables’impact on the likelihood of accident occurrences. CONCLUSIONS :This study shows that the uses of RP is better fitted to the accident data since each observations’specific characteristics could be considered. Thus, the methods which could consider the heterogeneity of data is recommended to analyze the relationship between accidents and affecting factors(for example, traffic safety facilities or geometrics in signalized 4-legged intersections).

Despite over eighty percent of industrial accidents were caused by unsafe behaviors, most safety programs still focus on changing workers’ internal status such as thinking and attitude rather than directly changing safe related behaviors. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the basic concepts and procedures of Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) which originated in applied behavior science (ABS), BBS attempts to change safety related behaviors by manipulating antecedents and consequences of workers’ behaviors. Also this paper introduces several case studies conducted globally in various industrial fields. These case studies highlight the procedures of BBS, their impacts on safety performance and accidents rate, and other business results. Based on these results, this paper proposes new guidelines for safety management.
