Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a broad field of professional practice, which involves specialists from different disciplines including but not limited to engineers, occupational health physicians, physical and biological scientists, economists, and statisticians. The preventive systems required to ensure workers are protected from injuries and illnesses dwell heavily on engineers; however, the extent to which the engineer can go regarding planning and implementing preventive measures is dependent on specific legal requirements, leadership commitment from the company, organization, and nation. The objective of this paper is to identify the areas of opportunities for improvements in OHS management in Ghana with regard to the nation's legal requirements, commitment of the Ghana government, and Ghanaian leadership as well as appropriate structuring of Ghanaian institutions responsible for monitoring and managing OHS in Ghana. This paper identified Ghana's fragmented legal requirements concerning OHS, which are under different jurisdictions with unclear responsibilities and accountabilities. The paper also highlights the training needs of Ghanaian academic institutions regarding OHS. Among other recommendations made including structuring of Ghanaian institutions to manage OHS in line with the ILO-OSH 2001, this paper aligns the recommendations with the articles and elements of International Labour Organization convention number 155 and OHSAS 18001 elements.

Purpose - This paper investigates applicability of blockchain based bill of lading under the current legal environment. Legal requirements of electronic bill of lading will be analyzed based on the Rotterdam Rules and recently enacted UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records. Using comparative analysis with the previous registry model for electronic bill of lading, this paper examines the advantages of blockchain based bill of lading. Design/methodology - This research reviewed previous efforts for dematerializing bill of lading with its limitation. Main features of blockchain technology which can make up for deficiencies of registry model also be investigated to analyze whether these features can satisfy the requirements for the legal validity of the negotiable electronic transport record or electronic transferable records under the Rotterdam Rules and the MLETR. Findings - Main findings of this research can be summarized as follows: Blockchain system operated in an open platform can improve transparency and scalability in transfer of electronic bill of lading by assuring easy access for transaction. Distributed ledger technology of blockchain makes it more difficult to forge or tamper with transactions because all participants equally shares identical transaction records. Consensus mechanism and timestamp in a blockchain transaction guarantee the integrity and uniqueness of a transaction. These features are enough to satisfy the requirements of electronic transferable records under the Rotterdam Rules and MLTER. Originality/value - This study has significance in that it provided implications for the introduction of electronic bill of lading by analyzing whether the blockchain based electronic bill of lading model meets the legal requirements under the current legal system prepared prior to the introduction of blockchain technology, and by presenting the advantages of the blockchain based bill of lading model through comparative analysis with the existing registry model.

This paper is aimed at intensively examining the scope of legal protection for fashion designs under the Design Protection Act of Korea. For this purpose, this looked into how the Act defines the concept of design, its requirements, and the prerequisites for acquiring design rights. The study also reviewed statutory interpretations over the judgment of the identity and similarity of designs. For more practical and substantial discussions, this research utilized cases and precedents, which had relevant legal principles. This study also figured out how both the requirements for a design definition - such as merchantability, configuration, visibility, and aesthetics - and the prerequisites for acquiring design rights - like industrial applicability, novelty, and creativity - are interpreted and utilized in actual circumstances. The authors expressed their opinions regarding the criteria of judging the identity and similarity of designs, based on a study of previous cases. Previous rulings show that aesthetics of the exterior design is used as the criteria for determining whether a design is same or similar. So, two designs, which have different specific details, are deemed same or similar, if both designs show similarity in the dominant elements. This is because both designs will produce similar aesthetic qualities. However, if the dominant elements of a design are part of the public domain, and the specific details characterize the design, the latter has to be evaluated in the process. This paper examined scope of legal protection for fashion designs using relevant precedents. The study may serve as academic materials that lead to the establishment of rightful ownership in creative activities.

고층건물의 적법하지 않은 소방시설로 인한 화재 증가로 안전성 확보를 위한 법규 검토의 필요성이 증가하고 있지만 국내 공동주택의 경우 소방시설 화재안전규정에 대한 적법성 검토는 잘 이루어지지 않고 있다. 구조적 특성상 화재 시 인명피해의 위험이 큰 건축물임에도 검토가 미흡한 이유는 건축법과 소방법 혼재에 따른 법규 해석 오류에 있으며 이로 인한 불필요한 소방시설의 설치 및 소방시설이 누락된 상태로 이루어지는 준공검사는 막대한 경제적, 시간적 손실을 발생시킨다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소방시설에 대하여 혼재되어 있는 법규를 한 번에 검토할 수 있는 체크리스트를 도출하고 IPA 분석을 통해 항목별 중요도와 현수준을 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 실무 활용성을 고려한 매뉴얼을 개발하여 건설사의 소방 준공 리스크 저감에 기여하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 전자기록의 신뢰체계 확보를 위해 증거로서 신뢰할 수 있는 전자기록의 품질 개념을 분석하고 기록관리 영역과 사법영역의 요건을 비교·분석하여 증거력 확보 방안 마련에 필요한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 기록관리 절차, 기록 메타데이터, 기록시스템의 요건, 공공기록물법령을 상호 연계하고 사법영역의 요건을 비교하여 기록관리 영역에서 요구되는 요건을 조사·분석하였고, 전자기록과 디지털 증거의 품질개념간 관계 분석을 통해 법적 증거력 확보를 위해 기록 생산 및 획득 단계에서 기록의 신뢰성 확보를 위한 조치가 요구된다는 점을 도출하였다. 또한, 디지털 증거의 진정성 입증은 전자기록의 진본성 입증과 밀접한 관련성을 가지므로 진본성 입증을 위한 기록 프로세스와 기록 메타데이터, 기록시스템이 가지는 중요성과 이를 위한 조치의 필요성을 제시하였다.

Mixed acceptance sampling plans for quantity of products in prepackages are widely used for compliance testing. To pass testing, random samples jointly comply with two legal requirements: (i) the average net content of an inspection lot shall be not less than the labelled quantity and (ii) the numbers of under-filled prepackages in a sample are less than or equal to permitted numbers. This paper discusses some drawbacks of the acceptance sampling plans and requirements recommended in OIML R87 (KS A 50087 translated by Korean) developed by the International Organization of Legal Metrology and evaluates the producer's and consumer's risks. In addition, problem of determining a target value in filling processes of prepackages under the OIML R87 requirements is addressed and illustrated with a numerical example.

This study describes the seller's duty to deliver the goods in conformity with the contract. The purpose of this study is twofold: to analyze the seller's principal duty, comparing the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods(CISG) with Sale of Goods Act(SGA) and to provide legal and practical advice to contracting parties who consider CISG or SGA as a governing law. This paper first considers the requirements for the conformity with the contract, which means contractual requirements agreed between parties and implied requirements not agreed between parties. Following this, the exclusion of the seller's duty to deliver the goods required by the contract is described. Finally, this paper ends up giving contracting parties legal and practical advice.

법정납본은 한 국가 내에서 생산된 출판물들을 포괄적이고 체계적으로 수집할 수 있는 제도이다. 본 연구는 서로 다른 역사와 전통을 가진 나라들의 법정납본에 관련된 법률과 명령, 규칙 등을 항목별로 비교하여 국내의 납본 관련 법규의 미비점을 개선하고자 시도되었다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 법정납본 제도에 관한 각종 문헌에 대한 검토와 함께 한국을 비롯해, 미국, 영국, 캐나다, 호주, 프랑스, 일본, 싱가포르 등 총 8개국의 납본 법규와 납본 안내자료, 납본 수행기관 홈페이지, 온라인 납본시스템 등에 대해 문헌연구를 실시하였다. 이를 토대로 본 연구에서는 주요 국가별 법정납본에 관한 법적 근거와 납본 기관에 대해 검토하고, 국가별 법정납본 법규를 항목별로 비교하였다. 구체적으로는 조사대상 국가별로 납본 대상 자료, 납본 제외자료, 납본자료의 요건, 납본 기한과 납본 비용, 납본 미이행 벌칙, 납본 부수 등을 분석하였다. 또한 최근 급증하는 온라인 출판물의 납본에 대해 살펴보고자 각 국가별로 온라인 납본 대상 자료, 납본 제외 온라인자료, 온라인자료의 납본 요건, 온라인자료의 납본 방법 등에 대해서도 분석하였다. 이와 같은 국가별 법정납본 법규에 대한 비교를 바탕으로 향후 국내 법정납본의 발전을 위해 <도서관법> 내 납본 관련 조항의 개정 방안에 대해 제언하였다.
