Purpose: Falls are a common cause of unintentional injuries in infants. This study was conducted to examine the patterns of healthcare utilization following infant falls in South Korea. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study utilized an online survey designed to gather information regarding the general characteristics of parents and infants, fall-related variables, and healthcare use. Results: The most serious falls identified by parents occurred at an average infant age of 6.97 months. Most fall incidents took place indoors (95.7%), and many occurred under the supervision of caregivers (68.0%). Following the fall, 36.4% of the participants used healthcare services. Logistic regression analysis revealed that healthcare use following an infant fall was significantly associated with being a firstborn child (odds ratio [OR]=5.32, 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.19-15.28) and falling from a caregiver's arms (OR=4.22; 95% CI, 1.45-13.68). Conclusion: To prevent and decrease the frequency of infant falls, improvements are needed in both the domestic environment and parenting approaches.

This study aimed to compare fear and prevention behaviors on accidents between mothers and teachers in family childcare centers. The participants were 117 mothers whose children were 0~2 year-olds and 121 teachers. Based on Hendrickson(2008) and Reichert & Henricks(1996), the scale was developed by the researcher, and it was composed of fear and prevention behaviors on accident. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and $x^2$ analysis. Results showed that mothers feared fall accidents and step-on-accidents while teachers feared suffocation accidents and liability for injury medical fee. Also, mothers did more prevention behaviors on use of car seats than teachers, whereas teachers did more behaviors on walk safety, custody of drugs and dangerous articles, and food safety.

Developed in the study is the analysis of human factors involved in accidents of Korean Construction Projects. The 556 cases are sampled from a survey material 'Serious Accident Cases in the Construction Projects' edited by Korea Industrial Safety Corporation in 1995 through 1997. The analysis of these cases shows that existing classification system is not good for practical applications in real spots since they are difficult for engineers to understand. In this paper, human factors are classified into three groups by extracting the analysis and arrangement of the cases. Futhermore, We'll propose here a new type of accident which is subdivided. If engineers use this type of accident, they will be probably able to analyze efficiently human factors which are involved in accidents and relatied with how it happen. In the case of fall and upset accidents, personal factors seem to be critical when workers are horizontally moving in an unstable manner, and vertically moving without boarding facilities. Futhermore work environmental factors are important when workers release some materials and are performing building and dismantling tasks.

Although the disaster rate of the industry as a whole is on a downward trend, the disaster rate of the construction industry is on an ongoing trend. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed safety accident statistical data of the construction site over the past three years. As a result of the analysis, the incidence of disasters at small construction sites was very high. And the proportion of disaster occurred for workers who worked in less than 6 months even roughly 92.6%. In addition, as a result of analyzing the form of disaster occurrence, the crash was 34.1% and the fall was 15.1%. The analysis results of these construction safety accidents are to provide as a basic material for developing a policy that can prevent safety accidents and a safety accident prediction model.

노인의 생활안전 사고 유형 중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하는 낙상은 57.2%이상이 가정에서 발생하는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구에서는 실내 바닥의 진동을 측정, 분석하여 낙상의 유무를 판별하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 압전필름과 연산증폭기로 증폭 및 필터링 회로를 제작하여 진동 센서 모듈을 구성하였다. 진동 센서 모듈에서 증폭 및 필터링 과정을 거친 진동 신호는 데이터 수집 장치를 통해 디지털 신호로 변환되어 PC로 전송된다. 진동 신호는 k-NN 분류기를 이용하여 낙상 유무를 판별한다. 피험자 10명을 대상으로 낙상 실험결과, 분류기는 93.6%의 인식율을 나타내었다. 제작된 센서 모듈은 낙상 검출에 유용한 것으로 판단된다.

국내 산업재해는 점진적으로 감소하고 있음에도 불구하고 건설업에서의 사망자는 전체 산업의 49.9%를 차지하고 있으며, 그 중 추락사고 사망자는 59.7%의 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 이에 따라 정부차원에서 건설업의 추락사고를 예방하기 위한 다양한 안전 활동 및 정책을 추진하고 있으나 그 효과는 미비한 실정이다. 반면 미국, 일본, 영국, 싱가포르 등 해외 선진국의 경우 각국의 상황에 적합한 안전 활동, 규제 및 정책 등을 펼친 결과, 국내보다 산업재해 발생율이 저조했다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 국내 산업안전보건법과 해외 선진국의 법령을 추락재해에 밀접한 영향을 미치는 기인물별로 비교·분석하여 국내 실정에 맞는 개선방안을 제시하는 것이다. 비교 분석 결과, 본 연구에서는 국내 건설현장의 추락재해 저감을 위한 개선방안으로 1)추락 높이에 대한 기준 개선 2)안전난간 상부난간대 높이의 개선 3)수평안전대 부착설비 연구 및 지침의 개정 등의 개선방안을 제시하였다. 향후 본 연구는 해외 선진국의 사례분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

Background: Household waste collectors (HWCs) are exposed to hazardous conditions. This study investigates the patterns of workplace injuries and work-related illnesses of HWCs. Methods: This study uses cases of workplace injuries and work-related illnesses of HWCs that occurred between 2010 and 2011. We analyzed 325 cases of injuries and 36 cases of illnesses according to the workers' age, length of employment, size of workplace, injured part of body, day and month of injury, type of accident, agency of accident, and collection process. Results: There were significant differences in the effect of workers' length of employment, injured part of body, type of accident, agency of accident, and collection process. Results show that most injuries occur in workers in their 50s and older. This study also shows that 51.4% of injuries occur at businesses with 49 employees or fewer. Injuries to waste collectors happen most often when workers are electrocuted after slipping on the ground. The second most prevalent form of injury is falling, which usually happens when workers hang from the rear of the truck during transportation or otherwise slip and fall from the truck. Work-related illnesses amongst waste collectors are mostly musculoskeletal conditions due to damaging postures. Conclusion: These findings will be instructive in devising policies and guidelines for preventing workplace injuries and work-related illnesses of HWCs.

In this thesis, the domestic and foreign legislative background and legislative process of the Serious Accident Punishment Act were reviewed, and the Serious Accident Punishment Act in Korea was reviewed. In 2022, more safety accidents occurred in the construction industry than in other fields, and in particular, the most deaths occurred in the 'fall' type. In April 2023, regarding two criminal first-instance trial cases, the courts all sentenced guilty, and in one case, the representative of the company(CEO) was sentenced to imprisonment and was arrested. In response, the management side expresses the opinion that the punishment is excessive and there is a concern that corporate management will shrink, while the workers side(Union) argues that the responsibility of the business operator or manager should be strengthened by heavier punishment. As a countermeasure to overcome rationally, we present a plan in terms of legislation and resolution process. In other words, we present a review of the amendment to the Serious Accident Punishment Act and the Court Organization Act. In addition, guidelines for the a safety and health system must be implemented, and if an accident occurs, it must be dealt with reasonably. As a result, safety accidents in the construction industry should drastically decrease and safety culture should be properly established.
