As buildings become higher, larger, and more complex, safety issues for construction workers working at such environments become more important. We analyzed 83 critical accident cases reported to the KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency) for construction cranes by types of cranes and by patterns of accidents and causes. There are more number of accidents related to mobile cranes than that related to tower cranes, but the numbers of dead were similar in both cases. The most dominant cause of crane accidents was "fall of materials". We also analyzed the cases of crane accidents using the FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) in order to set up a priority for safety management and also to prioritize research and development items relating tower cranes. In the process, we tried to eliminate subjective indexes such as an expert group survey and use objective and quantitative indexes. As a result, it was found that critical crane accidents occurs most during the "lifting and translating" activity.

Recently, The percentile of the apartment housing within the apartment construction of domestic is increasing daily. Especially the construction duration in apartment construction is an very important factor which affects project cost. Therefore the construction companies the effort to shorten construction duration. The influence factors of the construction duration are analyzed to shorten construction duration through this tendency. The shown factors are needed to assessment method efficiently. This study is to suggest a method for the assessment of influence factors about the shortening of the construction time in apartment housing based on the FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) method.

This study describes a modification of the technique for human error analysis in nuclear power plants (NPPs) which adopts advanced Man-Machine Interface (MMI) features based on computerized working environment, such as LCOs. Flat Panels. Large Wall Board, and computerized procedures. Firstly, the state of the art on human error analysis methods and efforts were briefly reviewed. Human error analysis method applied to NPP design has been THERP and ASEP mainly utilizing Swain's HRA handbook, which has not been facilitated enough to put the varied characteristics of MMI into HRA process. The basic concepts on human errors and the system safety approach were revisited, and adopted the process of FMEA with the new definition of Error Segment (ESJ. A modified human error analysis process was suggested. Then, the suggested method was applied to the failure of manual pump actuation through LCD touch screen in loss of feed water event in order to verify the applicability of the proposed method in practices. The example showed that the method become more facilitated to consider the concerns of the introduction of advanced MMI devices, and to integrate human error analysis process not only into HRA/PRA but also into the MMI and interface design. Finally, the possible extensions and further efforts required to obtain the applicability of the suggested method were discussed.

In risk assessment, there are several methods such as Safety Review, Checklist, FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), FTA(Fault Tree Analysis), ETA (Event Tree Analysis) etc, however, the level of accident is indentified by the probability of accident and severity resulting from accident which used widely in assessing accidents and disasters. In this paper, the risk assessment method to decide the level of risk will be introduced by using severity, frequency and detection according to accident theory.

The purpose of FMECA is to identify parts and design whose damage can effect the mission performance and to improve the spacecraft design using these data. In consequence of this analysis, each failure mode which can be happened during operation and manufacturing period is identified, and their effects on mission performance are reviewed. In this technical report, the FMECA procedures and results for the satellite which is now under development are showed.

Development of application risk management for medical device software test. First, Through questionnaires, Medical device manufacturers, Analysis of software validation and risk management status. Second, Analyzed by comparing the difference between black box testing and white box testing. Third, After analyzing the potential for software analysis tools using code derived factors were quantified, Finally, Medical device risk management process so that it can be applied to build the framework by FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) technique. Through this Difficult to build software validation and risk management processes for manufacturers to take advantage of support in medical device GMP(Good Manufacture Practice).

Current maintenance system are unable to suggest solid basis of maintenance for roating and static equipment. When a filure occurs, replacement or repair without proper process of failure cause analysis would often result in even greater risk. Therefore in this study, a procedure of Reliability Centred Maintenance is develped in order to perform maintenance in preventive mainer (PM), and to effectively manage risk of any equipment based on failure types and respective rates of failure. Ultimately an equipment with higher risk will be monitored which will lead to effectively prevent and manage any major accident.

This paper presents the robust design of each component used in the development of an induction bolt heating system for dismantling the high-temperature high-pressure casing heating bolts of turbines in power plants. The induction bolt heating system comprises seven assemblies, namely AC breaker, AC filter, inverter, transformer, work coil, cable, and CT/PT. For each of these assemblies, the various failure modes are identified by the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method, and the causes and effects of these failure modes are presented. In addition, the risk priority numbers are deduced for the individual parts. To ensure robust design, the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), switched-mode power supply (SMPS), C/T (adjusting current), capacitor, and coupling are selected. The IGBT is changed to a field-effect transistor (FET) to enhance the voltage applied to the induction heating system, and a dual-safety device is added to the SMPS. For C/T (adjusting current), the turns ratio is adjusted to ensure an appropriate amount of induced current. The capacitor is replaced by a product with heat resistance and durability; further, coupling with a water-resistant structure is improved such that the connecting parts are not easily destroyed. The ground connection is chosen for management priority.

For the reliability assessment of solenoid actuator, firstly, we analyzed the cause of major failures and the effect of each failure modes through FMEA and FTA, and decided the main test items through 2-stage QFD. And then, as a measure of life of solenoid actuator, TypeII censored five data were collected from and operation test which was performed as the life test of solenoid actuator. In this paper, we present the reliability parameters of solenoid actuator like shape parameter, scale parameter, etc., which they are produced by MINITAB analysis and marking of Weibull probability paper using the measure of life, and also present the 6 kinds of detailed failure mode analysis.

현대 과학기술의 발달과 더불어 생산되는 제품들은 점차 고도화·복잡화되고, 제품의 결함 또는 제품으로 인한 사고 원인을 소비자 스스로 밝혀내는 것이 거의 불가능하게 되었다. 따라서 제조물의 안전에 대한 우선적인 입증책임을 기업에게 요구하는 제조물책임법이 선진국에서 시행되었고, 최근 소비자의 권익 보호제도 확충으로 제조물에 대한 책임이 엄격화, 광범위화 되었으며, 유럽연합과 일본의 제조물책임법을 근간으로 제정한 국내의 제조물책임법이 2002년 7월 시행되었다.(중략)
