Purpose: This study is intended to confirm the business disruptive risk in the Serious Accidents, and propose a plan to comply with the Serious Accidents Punishment Act through the Disaster Mitigation Activity Management System. Method: Through literature review and case studies, the requirements and characteristics of each of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, the Disaster Mitigation Activity Management System, and ISO 45001 were compared and analyzed, and implications were derived. Result: The business disruption and financial adverse effects caused by industrial accidents were identified. Based on this and by using the Disaster Mitigation Activity Management System, measures to link the documentation requirements of the the Serious Accidents Punishment Act to the Disaster Mitigation Activity Management System, and to manage the implementation records of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act's duty were derived. Conclusion: When establishing and operating the Disaster Mitigation Activity Management System, it can not only comply with the Serious Accidents Punishment Act but also contribute to maintaining business continuity and ESG management through the prevention of various disasters and the minimization of secondary damage, etc.

Background: Psychosocial risks are increasingly a type of risk analyzed in organizations beyond chemical, physical, and biological risks. To this type of risk, a greater attention has been given following the update of ISO 9001: 2015, more precisely the requirement 7.1.4 for the process operation environment. The update of this normative reference was intended to approximate OHSAS 18001: 2007 reference updated in 2018 with the publication of ISO 45001. Thus, the organizations are increasingly committed to achieving and demonstrating good occupational health and safety performance. Methods: The aim of this study was to characterize the psychosocial risks in a cryopreservation laboratory and to develop a predictive model for psychosocial risk management. The methodology followed to collect the information was the inquiry by questionnaire that was applied to a sample comprising 200 employees. Results: The results show that most of the respondents are aware of the psychosocial risks, identifying interpersonal relationships and emotional feelings as the main factors that lead to this type of risks. Furthermore, terms such as lack of resources, working hours, lab equipment, stress, and precariousness show strong correlation with psychosocial risks. The model presented in this study, based on artificial neural networks, exhibited good performance in the prediction of the psychosocial risks. Conclusion: This work presents the development of an intelligent system that allows identifying the weaknesses of the organization and contributing to the enhancement of the psychosocial risks management.

Stow net fishery is one of the fishery with high fishing work accidents in southwestern sea of Korea. We conducted to serve as basic data for improving the healthy and safe working environment of fisher using risk assessment process (ISO45001) with fishermen's occupational accidents of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative (NFFC) from 2016 to 2018. The average occurrence rate of victim in this fishery was 9.04%, 16.7 times more than such rate in all industries. In addition, the average fatality rate was found to have a very serious level management to 31.06‱, 27.7 times more than such rate in all industries. The safety hazards of stow net fishery was more likely to occur by other general industrial groups, with more severe consequences after the accident. According to 4M analysis, 58.6% of all accidents were caused by human factors, 24.0% by environmental factors, 16.0% by mechanical factors, and 1.5% by managerial factors, respectively. The occurrence frequency by accident type was the highest in 187 cases (32.2%) for struck by object, 158 cases (27.2%) for slipping, and 94 cases (16.2%) for being in contact with machinery. Severity is the highest for others such as diseases etc., in the order of being struck by object, being in contact with machinery, falling from above slipping, collapsing, bumping, and burning. Being struck by object, being in contact with machinery, and slipping are high-risk groups, falling from above others, bumping, and burning are medium-risk groups based on the risk assessment using the occurrence frequency and severity of accident. The obtained results are expected to contribute to the safe operation environment subsidy for fishing crews on the stow net fishing vessel.

Purpose: This study propose efficient and practical measures to comply with the duty to secure safety and health of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act at small businesses. Method: Based on literature review and previous studies, a plan to comply with the Serious Accidents Punishment Act was reviewed by the link with the safety and health management system and using the process approach method, etc. Result: It was confirmed that if the safety and health management system is faithfully implemented, it is possible to comply with the duty to secure safety and health under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. In addition, a methodology for fulfilling and inspecting the duty to secure safety and health was presented. Conclusion: If the safety and health management system is operated actively by utilizing the process approach and implementation inspection checklist, it is judged that it will be possible to comply with the Serious Accidents Punishment Act as well as to continuously improve the safety and health management system.

In order to derive a plan to increase the field effectiveness of the safety and health management(SHM) system, this study suggested plans for practical application of SHM system to the actual sites managed by the branch office of a public enterprise along with practical implications that should be considered. For this, in-depth interviews were conducted with employees in charge of safety and health work at the sites to analyze SHM system of the branch office, and the implementation processes and frameworks for establishing SHM system were suggested by grasping the actual conditions of the construction company performing the construction ordered by the branch office. This study shows that in order for SHM to be internalized in public enterprises, plans and performance indicators that can be applied in the field should be specifically presented in consideration of the hierarchical structure and processes of the organization performing the work, and a work environment should be created to focus on practical works related to safety and health.
