  • On May 12th, 2007 a merchant vessel of Golden Rose (South Korea) sank into near 38 mile from Yentai in China after the vessel collided with a container vessel of Jinsung (China), leaving all 16 sailors, including seven South Koreans, missing. According to the official report. The Chinese vessel, authorities, and South Korean government did not coordination q rescue and salvage for the sailors and vessel properly as follows: 1) The Chinese vessel left the scene without rescue and salvage of the sailors, 2) Chinese authorities failed to comply with law of the sea that required them to report the collision to South Korea immediately after confirming the accident, and 3) The South Korean government is also being criticized for its slow response to the incident since the government did not set up a response team until 21 hours after the incident. In order to reduce this number of sailor missing in future incidents, this research is studied regarding assembling conferences, assigning SRR in ASEAN+3, simplicity to enter other territory waters and cooperative training and education for the SAR.

  • Proper pre-safety training is one of core mandatory in order to reduce injuries at the construction fields. In this study, we investigate the employee's opinions of safety training, safety recognition, the actual conditions of safety through survey. As a result of study, incident factors are roughly divided into technical factor, managerial factor, and educational factor. We confirmed that the educational factor led by deficiency of safety awareness and knowledge was the major factor. It needs to be resettled or revised properly to match with the incident trends and the safety training curriculum should also be improved and drastically revised with special quality. The managerial workers' safety recognition is lower than the site ones regarding the correct understanding of the importance of the training.. It suggest that the education method and system in construction fields might have fundamental problems.

  • Domestic and foreign studies point to human factors as the main cause of unmanned aerial vehicle accidents, and HFACS is introduced as a technique to effectively analyze these human factors. Until now, domestic and foreign cases of analyzing the human factors of unmanned aerial vehicle accidents using HFACS were mainly targeted by military unmanned aerial vehicles, which can be used as an objective cause identification and similar accident prevention tool. In particular, identifying the focus of HFACS application considering the performance and operation conditions of domestic civilian unmanned aerial vehicles is expected to greatly help identify the cause and prevent recurrence in the event of an accident. Based on HFACS version 7.0, this study analyzed the accident investigation report data conducted by Korea Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board to identify the focus of HFACS application that can be used for domestic civilian unmanned aircraft accident investigations.

  • In response to possible HNS (Hazardous and Noxious Substance) spill accident, HNS spill accident scenario and response scenario were developed. The accident area listed in scenarios is the coastal area of Busan, and scenario for possible accident in the designated area and strategies to respond the accident were developed, respectively. The scenario for accident was developed by designating HNS spill according to risk evaluation of HNS and analysis of HNS spill probability along the coastal area of Busan, and then estimating possible and potential impact from the accident. The scenario for response has been suggested as a systematical responding operations in order to effectively reduce the estimated impact from the accident. The possible HNS spill accident on the seas around Busan, has been designated by the spillage of 1,000ton of xylene due to collision accident in Gamcheon Port, and the possible impacts occurred by the accident has been simulated with the help of the atmospheric and oceanic dispersion model of xylene. In the responding scenario for the accident, a phased strategies regarding emergency rescue of peoples, protection and recovery of xylene, protective measures for the responders, and post management of the accident have been suggested.

  • The fatality of rollover accidents in motor vehicle crashes is high despite their low incidence. Through the investigation of a 12-passenger van rollover accident in which 10 passengers were involved, we intend to analyze the correlation between the severity of the injury and the position of the occupants. We collected accident information from medical records, interviews, photo-images of the damaged van, field surveys, and the results of the Korean New Car Assessment Program (KNCAP). Based on the occupants' position, we classified injury sites and estimated injury severity. Passenger injury severity was evaluated by trauma score calculation. The initiation type of the rollover accident was passenger side 'fall-over' and the Collision Deformation Classification (CDC) code for the damaged van was 00TDZO3. The crash of the van involved 10 passengers, with an average age of $16.3{\pm}4.2years$. Few of the occupants had fastened seat belts at the time of the incident, and there was no airbag installed. One patient sustained severe liver injury and another was diagnosed with a fracture of the right humerus. The most common injuries were at the upper extremities and the neck. The average of Injury Severity Score (ISS) was $4.8{\pm}5.9$, and the average ISS of right-seated, mid-seated and left-seated occupants was $7.5{\pm}9.3$, $1.5{\pm}0.7$, and $3.3{\pm}2.1$ respectively (p>0.05). In the rollover (to-passenger side) accident of occupant unfastened, the average ISS of right-seated occupants (near side) was higher, but there was no statistically significant difference.

  • The sinking of the Sewol ferry has not only induced an intense conflict in Korean society but also been developed into a sociopolitical issue. This paper divides this accident into five stages and examines the records produced at each stage. The Sewolho Citizen Archive Network and the Ansan Citizen Record Committee began the archiving of Sewol and created the 416 Archives. The records of Sewol are social and political records that hold envidencial and historical value. They can be used to rebuild and recover the wounded community as well as to investigate the truth behind the case. Accident archiving collects materials different to the ones which public archiving does, allowing people to view the incident from a different standpoint. It is also characterized as an archiving of the current issue, social movement and regional community. Accident archiving is a method which ensures credibility and impartiality in memory. In light of Sewol archives, accident archiving can contribute to form mature democracy.

  • Korean railway has run about 110 years since 1989 and played a great role of industrialization in Korea. It is known that rail transport systems have many advantages of being more safe, energy-efficient, and environment-friendly, as compared to other transportation systems. However, railway incidents are often attributed to the failure of safety management and critical to the efficiency of railroad industry. This study reviewed economic, financial, and general statistical information on Korea Railroad. Based on the statistical data, the effect of accidents on railroad management was analyzed. Correlation analysis revealed that railway accident had a negative effect on the gross profit of Korea Railroad. In order to reduce potential risks and incident rate, some recommendations are proposed. Actual or potential applications of this research include safety guidelines for improving efficiency of railroad industry.

  • In this paper, it has implemented the design for the K-Line Operations Safety Audit(K-LOSA) designed to provide a proactive snapshot of system safety and flight crew performance before an incident and accident. It introduces the a LOSA and ten operating characteristics that have come to define LOSA methodology. According to the LOSA methodology, we explain the conceptual and detail design and implement the prototype for the data collected with LOSA collection tool.

  • The radiological impacts due to transportation of irradiated PWR fuel by truck were assessed for incident-free and accident conditions with. the computer code INTERTRAN. The resulting collective doses exposure to different subgroups of the public and of the workers were determined. Resulting collective doses for crewman and the public sharing the transport link and living in a corridor on either side of the route are small. All attempts to quantify the risk from the transport suffer from a lack of good input data. It is in these areas that the most important advances can be made.
