The current risk assessment system do not reflect workers' various opinion. However, the worker actually are in the center of work field and are exposed to accidents. In this regard, this study suggests enhanced risk assessment by 'safety circle discussion' on workers' hand. The self-administered surveys on supervisors and workers were done for the effect analysis of the safety circle discussion. According to the question investigation, even though the current risk assessment causes difficulties in preventing accidents by unsafe behaviors, the worker-oriented safety circle discussion establishing measures for risk factors of each work type will be able to prevent accidents more effectively. Also, it can positively contribute to safety health awareness, industrial accident prevention, accurate recognition on risk factors, improving safety facilities/work conditions, workers' compliance to safety health rules. Lastly, most respondents agreed that it is necessary to form organic relationship through circle discussion and deriving safety inspections that workers participate.

산림 벌목과 같은 통신이 안되는 고위험 작업장은 작업자의 상황을 실시간으로 모니터링하여 비상상태 발생시 작업자 위치에 따른 정보를 획득하는 장비 활용이 필요하다. 본 논문은 산림 벌목 작업자들이 안전한 작업환경을 유지하기 위한 스마트 안전모의 개발과 실증 실험을 분석한다. 개발된 스마트 안전모는 위치추정을 위해 UWB 신호를 기반으로 작업자의 위치를 파악하며, 작업자 간의 거리를 가깝게 하지 않게 유지하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해 통신 음영 지역에서도 통신할 수 있도록 UWB, Gyro, LoRa 방법을 사용한다. 산림작업 환경의 작업자 위험 및 위험 저감을 위한 개선된 건설 등 안전 작업환경 제공에 사용한다.

Currently, the construction industry is decreasing every year due to people's poor perception, high labor intensity, unstable employment structure, and welfare problems, as people avoid entry. Accordingly, this study investigated how to attract trainees and graduates from domestic construction education institutions to the construction industry. If institutional devices are prepared to prepare for the future by improving the welfare system such as unemployment benefits and retirement deductions in the construction industry, many trainees in their 20s and 30s will be attracted to the construction industry. If it helps expand hands-on education through on-site linkage and has the necessary technical skills for practice, it is believed that trainees and graduates in their 4s and 60s will be attracted to the construction industry.

본 연구에서는 작업자의 안전을 확보하기 위하여, 건설 현장의 안전조끼 색채에 대한 문제점을 고찰하였다. 먼셀표색계와 색채분석 프로그램을 이용하여 건설 작업종류에 따른 작업용 안전조끼의 프로토타입을 제시하였다. 현장 작업환경의 전체적인 색채와 대비되는 안전조끼를 착용하면, 작업자들을 직관적으로 구별이 가능하고 시인성이 높아져서 안전사고의 발생을 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 철근배근 작업, 유로폼 거푸집 작업, 갱폼 거푸집 작업, 철골 세우기 작업자의 안전조끼의 색(색상, 명도, 채도)은 철근배근 작업자용 조끼는 10GY, 8, 8 유로폼 8.75B, 7, 8 갱폼 3.75B, 2, 4 철골 세우기 6.25BG, 5, 10이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 각 공종별 작업자에 대한 안전조끼의 프로토타입에 대한 전문가의 의견은 철근공사와 철골공사 작업 관련 안전조끼 색에 대해서는 90% 이상의 매우 긍정적인 것으로 나타나 제시된 안이 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: This study is planned to assess the trend of occupational injuries in Korea from 2001 to 2010. Methods: Ten years of occupational injuries, from 2001 to 2010, were analyzed in order to investigate the changing profiles according to the various characteristics of injuries; economic sectors, age of the injured, and type of injuries. The changing profile of occupational injuries was investigated by comparison with an index-created relative value based on the number of cases of reference category. Results: The fatalities of construction, forest, agriculture, and service show the increasing trend. The nonfatal occupational injuries of the manufacturing sector were higher than those of other sectors in every year but the fatal occupational injuries of construction workers were higher than those of the manufacturing sector. Occupational injuries occurring due to amputation and those of slip and trip increased. The number of occupational injuries for the worker groups of 24 years old and below decreased and 45 years old and above increased. In comparison to the figure of fall from height, the figures of slip and trip or caught in equipment are higher in every calendar year. Conclusion: This study find out construction, forest, agriculture, and service sectors, aged worker with 45 years old and over can be target population for the strategies of occupational safety.

Background: Workers are often exposed to hazardous heat due to their work environment, leading to various injuries. As a result of climate change, heat-related injuries (HRIs) are becoming more problematic. This study aims to identify critical contributing factors to the severity of occupational HRIs. Methods: This study analyzed historical injury reports from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Contributing factors to the severity of HRIs were identified using text mining and model-free machine learning methods. The Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) was applied to explore the relationship between impact factors and the severity of HRIs. Results: The results indicated a higher risk of fatal HRIs among middle-aged, older, and male workers, particularly in the construction, service, manufacturing, and agriculture industries. In addition, a higher heat index, collapses, heart attacks, and fall accidents increased the severity of HRIs, while symptoms such as dehydration, dizziness, cramps, faintness, and vomiting reduced the likelihood of fatal HRIs. Conclusions: The severity of HRIs was significantly influenced by factors like workers' age, gender, industry type, heat index , symptoms, and secondary injuries. The findings underscore the need for tailored preventive strategies and training across different worker groups to mitigate HRIs risks.

This research proposed the Direct Construction System for construction corporations as a strategy intended to perform cause analysis of construction technician shortage matter and solve resulting problems, and in view of the outcomes from the application of this system to the projects and workshops, it was verified that unsteady employment, lack of career prospect, and conditions of work environment can be resolved. In addition, from corporations' perspective, it is considered that by clarifying the abovementioned three problems, fundamental complications of construction administration, quality control, safety supervision, and cost management were settled, concluding forthcoming advancement of domestic construction business quality fell far behind developed counties.

This paper presents a study on construction safety in the People Democratic Republic of Laos (PDRL). Fifty workers experienced certain injuries in their construction sites and 15 top managers were interviewed in twenty-six construction projects in Vientiane, the capital of PDRL. Research results show that stepping on and/or striking against objects (48%), struck by falling objects (24%), falling of persons (12%) are major types of construction injuries. The paper stresses that the ignorance of top managers about their crucial role in safety improvement, using safety incentive to raise safety performance, lack of thorough understanding about benefit from labor safety performance, and the willingness to cut off safety performance expenditures is considered as obstructions of safety improvement programs. The survey indicates that physical working conditions, relationship among workers, foremen behaviors and the monthly wage were influencing factors to worker's job satisfaction. The study also highlights afternoon as dominant time that led to a large number of injuries.

The characteristics of construction work cause excessive strain on specific body parts of the construction craft workers. However, there are few tools to mane an accurate measurement of the load on the musculoskeletal system, and the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) experienced by the workers have not been properly understood. So, there is an urgent need for development of a tool to measure the load on the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, this research aims to develop a musculoskeletal load measuring device for construction workers. In order to eliminate the noise and errors, an accelerometer, gyro sensors and the Kalman Filter are used in the device developed in this research.
