전기설비에 접근하여 활선작업을 수행하는 과정에서 "안전조치, 작업공구, 먼지, 분진, 쥐, 절연" 등의 문제로 기인하는 단락사고가 발생하면 플라즈마(plasma) 아크 형태의 전기적 방전이 일어나므로, 아크 플래시 위험에 노출된 작업자는 심각한 화상은 물론 생명에 위험을 초래할 수 있다. 이러한 위험으로부터 근로자를 보호하기 위하여 IEEE Std. 1584에 수행절차와 방법에 대하여 상세히 해설하고 있고, NFPA 70E는 보호기준 등을 규정하고 있다. 국내에서도 이 기준 등을 참고하여 산업안전기준에 관한 규칙에 의거, 활선작업 및 활선근접작업에 관한 기술지침(KOSHA CODE E-3G-2005)과 난연성 전기 작업복 선정에 관한 기술지침(KOSHA CODE E-32-2006을 규정하고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 외국 기업 일부를 제외하고는 아크 플래시 위험분석 업무를 실무에 적용하는 사례를 찾아보기 어렵다. 또한 적용 범위에 있어서도 난연성 전기 작업복 선정에 관한 기술지침을 600V 이상의 활선작업 및 활선근접 작업시만 착용하도록 한정한 것은 아크 플래시 위험에 대한 보호가 충분하지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 오히려 고압보다도 저압회로 고장 지점의 최소 단락전류에서 차단기의 동작시간이 지연되는 경우, 사고에너지를 더 증가시키기 때문에 위험성과 빈도는 높아질 수 있다 이와 관련하여 본문에서는 "아크 플래시 위험" 분석 및 평가방법에 대하여 살펴보기로 한다.

가연성 분진이 제조 취급되는 공정에서의 분진폭발 위험성은 항상 존재한다. 그러나 산업현장에서 취급되는 분진에 대한 분진폭발 특성 정보는 아주 미흡한 실정으로 사업장에서는 화학사고 예방대책 수립에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 입도분포가 다른 두 종류의 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT)에 대한 분진폭발 특성을 실험적으로 조사하였으며, NFPA 499 Code를 적용하여 MWCNT 제조 취급 공정의 분진폭발 위험장소 구분을 검토하였다. 그 결과 평균입도가 $124.2{\mu}m$인 MWCNT 1의 $P_{max}$, $K_{st}$, LEL, MIE, 및 MIT는 각각 6.3 bar, $56bar{\cdot}m/s$, $125g/m^3$, 1000 mJ 초과 및 $650^{\circ}C$ 초과로 나타났다. 평균입도가 $293.5{\mu}m$인 MWCNT 2의 $P_{max}$, $K_{st}$, LEL, MIE, MIT는 각각 6.2 bar, $42bar{\cdot}m/s$, $100g/m^3$, 1000 mJ 초과 및 $650^{\circ}C$ 초과로 나타났다. NFPA 499 Code에 따른 MWCNT 1, 2의 폭발강도와 점화감도는 각각 0.35와 0.01 미만으로 나타났기 때문에 MWCNT는 NFPA 499 Code에서 제시된 분진폭발 위험장소로 구분하여야 하는 가연성 분진으로 분류되지 않았다.

To identify and evaluate the risk factors in WMSD work, a number of ergonomic workload evaluation methods have been developed. In the legal examination of WMSD risk factors, simple observational workload evaluation methods are widely used instead of using costly measurement equipments such as EMG and motion analyzer. The simple workload evaluation methods can be categorized into three groups; risk factor checklist methods, posture observation methods, and manual material handling task evaluation methods. In terms of the categories, this survey summarized several representative workload evaluation methods and compared them each other. Then some industrial application cases referring each the workload evaluation methods were surveyed. Due to the characteristics of each method, the selection and application procedure of workload evaluation method should be appropriate for the corresponding work. Therefore, some guidelines for the selection and application procedure of workload evaluation method were suggested.

Low back disorders (LBDs) have been the most common musculoskeletal problem in Korean workplaces. It affects many workers, and is associated with high costs to many companies as well as the individual, which can negatively influence even the quality of life of workers. The _evaluation of low back disorder risk associated with manual materials handling tasks can be performed using variety of ergonomic assessment tools such as National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Revised Lifting Equation (NLE), the Washington Administrative Code 296-62-0517 (WAC), the Snook Tables etc. But most of these tools provide limited information for choosing the most appropriate assessment method for a particular job and in finding out advantage and disadvantage of the methods, and few have been assessed for their predictive ability. The focus of this study was to _evaluate spinal loads in real time with lifting and pulling heavy cow leathers in variety of postures. Data for estimating mean trunk motions were collected as employees did their work at the job site, using the Lumbar Motion Monitor. Eight employees (2 males, 6 females) were selected in this study, in which the load weight and the vertical start and destination heights of the activity remained constant throughout the task. Variance components (three dimensional spaces) of mean trunk kinematic measures were estimated in a hierarchical design. They were used to compute velocity and acceleration of multiple employees performing the same task and to repetitive movements within a task. Therefore, a results of this study could be used as a quantitative, objective measure to design the workplace so that the risk of occupationally related low back disorder should be minimized.

Forklift truck is a very convenient transportation vehicle and widely used in industries. However, a lot of overturn accidents occur during operation because of poor understanding on the stability of forklift trucks. The stability of a forklift is defined by the minimum slope of the ramp where a forklift truck overturns. According to the KS BISO 22915-2 code, the stability is determined from the four kinds of stability tests. The equations for the stability of a forklift truck were proposed already in several published literatures and the equations can be used conveniently to estimate the stability and examine the effects of design parameters in forklift trucks. However, because the detail derivation procedure was omitted, it is very difficult to examine the accuracy of the proposed equations and to modify the equations for other types of forklift trucks. In this paper the stability equations were derived again with detail derivations for the four kinds of stability tests. And the effects of acceleration or centrifugal forces were also additionally included in the equations and minor corrections were also made.

A suspension bridge is a type of bridge in which the beam is suspended by load-bearing cables. There are two classifications: the self-anchored suspension bridge has the main cable anchored to the bridge girders, and the earth-anchored suspension bridge has the main cable anchored to a large anchorage. Although a suspension bridge is structurally safe, it is prone to be damaged by various actions such as hurricanes, tsunamis and terrorist incidents because its cables are exposed. If damage to a cable eventually leads to the cable rupture, the bridge may collapse. To avoid these accidents, studies on the dynamic behavior of cable bridges due to the cable rupture have been carried out. Design codes specify that the calculated DAF (dynamic amplification factor) should not exceed a certain value. However, it has been difficult to determine DAFs effectively from dynamic analysis, and thus no systematic approach has been suggested. The current study provides a guideline to determine DAFs reliably from the dynamic analysis results and summarizes the results by applying the method to an earth-anchored suspension bridge. In the study, DAFs were calculated at the location of four structural parts, girders, pylons, main cable and hangers, with variations in the rupture time.

The purpose of this study is to survey job stress and Musculoskeletal Disorder(MSDs) of workers in small plants with agricultural products. The subjects were comprised of 69 workers participated in "Helping the rural women to get the small businesses" project. The questionnaire surveys were Korean Occupational Stress Scale(KOSS), and Legal Risk Assessment of Musculoskeletal Disorders(KOSHA CODE H-30-2003). As a result of the survey, scores of KOSS 8 sub-items except for job demand were similar to that of Korea workers. Prevalence of MSDs symptoms of small plants workers was high percent (44.9%). And the rate according to kinds of product was significant difference at neck (p<0.01), lumbar (p<0.01), and leg (p<0.01). There was no significant difference between view person sign of MSDs and non MSDs according to sex, year, the number of workers, working years, working time per one day, rest time per one day, and subjective working intensity, but there were significant difference between high stress group and low stress group about MSDs at interpersonal conflict(p<0.05). Job stress and MSDs were important factor to workers of small plants producted agricultural products. Therefore, starting a business with small plats, workers consider interpersonal conflict and body part showing MSDs.
