Catastrophic disasters are sprouting out recently, i.e., the radiation leaks and the hydrofluoric acid gas leaks, etc. The restoration work for these kinds of disasters is very harmful and dangerous for human beings to handle themselves, thus allowing manless robots to fly the reconnaissance planes over to the disaster stricken areas and do the necessary work instead. For this endeavor and purpose, we created and tested an intelligent robot that can inspect those areas, using Mbed (ARM processor) technology temperature sensors and gas sensors aided by CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) cameras. Also, HTTP Server, PC, androids and their combined efforts allow their remote controlled operation from far away with timing control. These intelligent robots can be on duty for 24 hours, minimizing the accidents and crimes and what not, and can respond more quickly when these misfortunes actually happen. We can anticipate the economic effects as well, derived from the reduced needs for hiring human resources.

가스폭발사고를 방지하기 위하여 사용하는 방폭형 전기기기중에서 본질안전 방폭구조는 폭발위험장소에 설치되는 전기기기 및 배선의 어떤 부분에서 정상동작 및 사고시(단락, 지락, 단선 등)에 발생하는 불꽃, 아크, 과열이 주위에 있는 폭발성 가스에 점화되지 않도록 한 구조로서, 회로의 전압과 전류를 폭발성 가스의 점화한계 이하가 되도록 구성하는 원리이며 국내외에서 사용이 증가추세에 있다. (중략)

전기재해 중 감전사고는 누전차단기에 의해 예방될 수 있으며 그 취급 및 설치가 간편하여 국내외 각국은 누전차단기에 의한 안전대책확보와 관련, 제품의 성능 및 설치방법 개선 등에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 하지만 2000년도 국내 감전사고는 사망 107명을 포함하여 821명의 사상자가 발생하여 전기안전의 생활화가 절실히 요구되는 실정이다.(중략)

A huge marine accident causes a loss of valuable lives, property and the serious environmental contamination. In the IMO, active discussions about a potential occurrence possibility of marine accidents and appropriate place(place of refuge) to minimize the damage are being developed as appropriate transferring vessels which has a worry of a secondary marine environmental pollution from a previous marine accident Our country has a great potential et marine accidents due to the foreign vessel in distress because there is a huge vessel traffic amounts of the passage since which locate with in the important navigation connects the Asian region. and North America centering around north Pacific Ocean Also, we need the minimize the secondary damage from accident which occurs in domestic ports as transferring safe쇼 place when it is needed In this paper, analyzed and investigated a designated the place of refuge that analyze foreign cases, and will make a efficient and reasonable investigating plan of interior place of refuge.

Nearly a half of the accidents the old people had take place in home. Home safety will be more important than ever in rapidly increasing old aged in Korea. The purpose of this paper is to search the general characteristics of domestic accidents related to living environment of the old people experienced. The number of 248 respondents who had experienced of housing related accidents since recent 10 years were selected from 500 interviews with 65 years old and over during April 4th-26th, 2008. About a half of respondents had experienced home accidents. The entrance is the most common places the home accidents occurred, followed by bathrooms and stairs. flooring materials and raised floors are the most dangerous spots. Both places and dangerous objects are related each other. The place is also related to the type of dwelling. Slipping and tripping over most frequently happen in home accidents. It is related to the place like slipping in a bathroom or stairs, and tripping over in entrances. Mostly, legs and arms are injured by the home accidents. A safe home facilitates the old to live healthy and independent in their own places. A safe home for the old is a kind of new issues in Korea. Related policies and researches are about to sprout.

기계·기구, 설비 등(이하 "기계설비")의 주요 위험장소에는 작업자를 통제, 격리하기 위해 방호가드를 고정·설치하는 등 안전사고에 대비하고 있다. 다만 방호가드가 개폐가 용이한 구조일 경우 기계설비 등의 작동 중 작업자 임의 개방에 의한 사고위험에 그대로 노출될 우려가 있어 개폐가 가능한 구조의 방호가드에는 기계설비 가동조건과 연동회로가 구성된 인터록장치를 설치하여 안전사고에 대비하는 것이 일반적이다. 다만 인터록장치는 대부분 기계설비의 가동조건과 하드와이어드(hard-wired)로 결선된 단순 구조가 아닌 PLC(Programmable Logic Controller), 터치판넬, 통신장치 등과 다양하게 다소 복잡한 구조로 설치되어 있고, 인터록장치에 사용되는 센서도 구조, 기능, 사용처 등에 따라 매우 다양화되어 방호도어에 설치되는 안전센서의 사양 선정이 잘 못되거나 설치 후 관리가 미흡할 경우 오작동, 기능해지 등으로 인해 또 다른 사고위험에 그대로 노출될 우려가 있다. 따라서 방호가드에 설치된 인터록장치의 기능해지, 관리소홀 등으로 인해 발생한 사고사례, 아차사고 등을 통해 인터록장치 성능 유지관리를 위한 기술적 사항에 대한 기준을 마련할 필요가 있다.

기존 병원들의 간호사 호출 시스템은 유선 방식으로 입원실과 화장실 벽면에 부착하여 도움이 필요로 할 경우 간호사를 호출한다. 하지만 유선 방식은 장치가 부착된 입원실과 화장실에서만 간호사를 호출 할 수 있다는 큰 단점을 가지고 있다. 만일 병원 내부의 간호사 호출 시스템이 없는 장소에서 환자에게 응급상황이 발생할 경우 환자는 도움을 받지 못하여 2차 사고로 이어질 수 있다. 반면 무선 방식은 환자들에게 개별적으로 장치를 지급하는 것과 잦은 분실에 의해 비용 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 스마트폰과 Beacon으로 장소의 제약 없이 보다 신속하고 정확하게 환자의 위치를 담당 간호사에게 전송하는 방식을 이용한다. 그리고 이를 기반으로 하여 기존의 간호사 호출 시스템에서 발생되는 환자 위치 사각지대를 해결한 새로운 Multipurpose Patient Support Systems(MPSS)기술을 제안한다.

Among the various cases of fire accident, gas accident which is roost essential have a lot of forms and causes. The quantity consumed of gas is increasing because of increment of gas-using families and variations of gas machinery. The quantity consumed of gas in 2007 was 35078 tons and the average rate of increasement was 9.4%. The amount of gas accident was on the peak at 1995 when 557 accidents occurred in a year. In 2007, 123 gas accidents was occurred and the average rate of diminution was 11.5%. Accidents by LP gas took 80% of the whole accident and city gas and high pressure gas took 20%. In case of LP gas, accidents were usually occurred because of lack of blocking after the removal of gas machinery and moveable butane burner. Especially, the accidents cause by carelessness of a provider is increasing. Gas accidents which generate damage of human life and property, are caused by users' carelessness, providers' carelessness, inferiority of structure and old products. In this thesis, We will classify the gas accidents. Furthermore through the classification of accidents by forms, causes and regions, this thesis going to be a reference to understand and prevent the accidents.

A marine accident is caused various legal liability such as compensation for damages on civil law, responsibility on the Criminal Code and administrative sanctions. The results occurred by any acts is not connected directly to the legal responsibility. As a prior condition for these legal liabilities, it is required the causation between the act caused and the occurrence of the effect. It is very difficult to find out the cause in marine accidents, because of trouble of a proof security, the place occurred, time difference between accident and investigation point of time etc.. However, finding out the correct cause is an element important to prevent similar accident and to determine the liability reverted. The logical concept of the causation is not limited, but there is early necessity to limit it in the liability reverted. Therefore, this study aims to suggest reasonable standard to determine liability reverted in marine accidents.

This study was based on nitrate chemical accidents at home and abroad. Toxic gases due to adverse reactions are generated in the workplace, laboratory, hospital, container damage, and chemical misinjection. Through a case review of possible situations and safety, this study analyzed various cases of accidents, accident status, accident type, cause of the accident, location of the accidents, etc. from 2014 to 2018. The plans for improvement in education and nitrate accidents were reviewed. As a result, 36 nitrate chemical accidents were investigated, including 16 careless worker accidents, eight transportation accidents, and 12 facilities shortages. Nitrate chemical accidents are occurring continuously. Based on this, the range of toxic effects using CARIS was calculated at the worst-case scenario, and the effective response range was measured through the damage impact range. For this purpose, the impact range was predicted based on the strengthening of safety education, emergency action plan and correlation, and the quantified data was identified. In addition, the reliability of the scope of impact was reviewed based on the correlation formula that could facilitate the evacuation of residents, and it was applied to actual accident scenarios of the workplace to present the effects of the accident response and preventive measures.
