According to the recent "Status of Industrial Accidents at the End of December 2020" released by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, each industry is subject to industrial accidents. The number of accident deaths by construction industry, accident deaths by accident type fell, and accident deaths by workplace size were 5 to 49, indicating that most accident deaths occurred due to falling accidents at small construction sites. Therefore, urban living houses are small construction sites, and the probability of falling accidents is very high. Fall simulation training for disaster occurrence is conducted mainly by large construction ordering organizations in the public sector, and it is the first case in Korea that a housing construction company has conducted at a small construction site. This study analyzed and presented the definition, construction characteristics, and safety management status of urban living houses, and developed and spread an emergency relief procedure manual in the event of a fall accident to minimize deaths.

Thorough preparations and investigations must be done in order to prevent the hazards which will happen when workers work on the roof of the rolling stocks. Some industrial disasters can be prevented by solving the risks involved in the working of the work processes. Falling accidents tend to happen from the roof of the trains when workers work in the high position. So through the analysis of the 4M( Man. Machine, Media, Management), this paper analyzed the risk factors among the roof works and all problems of the maintenance. Also this paper suggests new devices or new methods to prevent falling disasters and to relieve the mental senses of uneasiness.

Korea is surrounding by the sea on three sides and consists of mountainous terrain over 65% and the rainfall is high. Therefore, accidents of the vehicle rollover and crash are frequently occurring. Lifesaving system is being urgent required to solve these problems. In this paper, we designed and implemented a lifesaving system for handling a car crash and rollover and verified the functionality through the test.

건설현장에서 중대사고로 가장 큰 비율을 차지하고 있는 추락사고는 크게 줄지 않고 아직도 현장에서 염려해야 하는 사항으로 남아 있다고 볼 수 있다. 산업 발전과 더불어 공사 기술 발전으로 공사진행이 좀더 안전하고 품질확보 가능한 수준으로 추진되고 있음에도 이들 사고가 발생하고 있다는 것은 단순히 눈에 보이는 시설준수 안전교육 만으로 만 해결될 수 있는 것이 아니라는 즉 밝혀지지 않은 작업자의 내면적인 심리와도 상관관계가 있을 수 있다는 것이 본 연구의 출발점이라 하겠다.(중략)

본 논문은 추락 방지장치가 형성된 창문에 관한 것으로, 일반적인 형태의 공동주택 여닫이 창문은 사각틀 형태로 된 창틀의 내 창문이 슬라이드 가능하게 끼워져 있고, 창문을 개방 시, 창틀에 해충방지용 방충망이 설치되어 있지만, 종래의 방충망은 구조적으로 매우 취약하여 찢어지거나 휘면서 창틀로부터 쉽게 이탈되어 쉽게 추락사고가 발생하였다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위해서 본 기술을 적용한 창문 설치 시, 개방했을 경우에만 체인 안전망이 형성되고, 창문을 닫았을 경우에는 체인 안전망이 창틀 또는 창문틀에 수용되어 보이지 않게 되어 미관을 해치지 않으면서도 추락 사고를 방지하여 안정성을 보장하는 효과를 거두었다.

기존 등부표, 등명기 점검 시 사다리를 타고 상단에 올라가서 등명기를 점검하며, 너울성 파도 등으로 인하여 등부표가 기울어질 경우 추락사고가 발생할 수 있어 이를 예방하기 위해 엘리베이터 폴을 적용하여 등명기를 표체까지 하강시켜 안전하고 용이하게 점검할 수 있는 시스템 개발에 관한 것이다. 또한, 강철로 제작하는 표체를 탄소섬유로 제작하여 경량화하고 침추 무게, 투입 해상장비의 규모를 줄여 공사비를 절감하는 기대효과를 가질 수 있다.

This study attempts to provide fundamental information for a health policy and health services by looking at the trends and types of the mortality rates in Korea and Japan. In this study, data of the death statistics of Korea and Japan over the 21-year period from 1983 to 2003 are analyzed. Mortality data are standardized ${\times}100,000$ to the 2003 Japan population, according to the direct method. In 2001/2003, the ranking of major causes of death in Korea and Japan has been greatly changed. In Korea, mortality rates from malignant neoplasms, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, falls and suicide have increased. In Japan, the mortality rates from pneumonia increase more than those from diabetes mellitus. In 2001/2003, the proportions of the mortality rates from chronic diseases are higher than those from acute diseases. In the Korean health promotion policy "Health Promotion 2020", a more intensive goal management is needed.

The market for small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAVs) is growing rapidly as technology advances and makes it possible to use them in various fields. However, due to the rapid increase in small drones, breakdowns, collisions and falls are also increasing year by year, and technologies for reducing accident and securing safety are being actively researched. In particular, the application of a fault tolerance system to cope with unexpected failures during flight is essential. According to data released by the US Department of Defense, accidents caused by errors in flight control computers account for about 28% of all accidents. This paper describes the proposal of flight control computer system's dual structure design to tolerate flight control system failure.

From January 1989 to February 1996, 50 patients with a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture were treated at the Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine. There were 40 male and 10 female patients. The ages ranged from 2 to 80 years, with peak incidence in third decades. Thirty-nine cases had blunt trauma (traffic accident 29, falls down 7, others 3), and 11 cases had penetrating injuries (stab injury 9, gun shot 1, broken glass 1). The most common symptoms were dyspnea (76%), chest pain (58%), and abdominal pain (52%). In blunt trauma, the rupture was located in the left in 30 cases, right in 9 cases and in penetrating trauma, the rupture was located in the left in 8 cases and in the right in 3 cases. Eighteen cases underwent thoracotomy alone, 29 cases underwent laparotomy only and 3 cases had combined thoracotomy and laparotomy. The postoperative mortality occurred in 6% (3 cases), and the cause of death were septic shock (1), intracranial hemorrhage (1), and respiratory failure (1).

Despite the efforts for enhancing the safety record, construction industry has been suffered from higher fatalities than other industries. The poor record of safety in construction industry means that there is a clear need for an effective countermeasure. As mentioned in previous studies, it is important to identify the type of activities or risks that are likely to cause accidents and to develop appropriate safety measures. Considering the large number of accident cases on the temporary installations including work platforms and work passages, the temporary installations should be managed first. To support it, this study aims to analyze falling accident cases on construction working platforms and passages which can lead to develop proper safety measures. Through the analysis of 1663 accident cases in the perspective of cost, progress, activity, and type of workers, this study identifies how the recent accidents occur and what is the cause of the accident occurrence. The identified causes of accident occurrence will help us to improve current construction safety.
