  • Recently, obesity that is increasingly becoming a major cause of various diseases and safety accidents in work places is emerging as a serious social problem. It is due to economic growth and improvement of living environments. Many researches are trying to find the root cause of obesity. Thus, the main objective of this study is to analyze obesity index of citizens in Seoul which is a metropolis of Korea and a densely populated district. The data used in this study included 179 men and 152 woman subjects who are living in Seoul. Somatotype using $R\ddot{o}hrer$ Index can be classified by 3 types (thin, standard, obesity). In order to analyze a detailed somatotype of citizens, age groups are divided into $30{\sim}34,\;35{\sim}39,\;40{\sim}49,\;and\;50{\sim}59$ years according to gender, respectively. In order to compare and analyze data, Coefficient of Variance, Cronbach's Alpha, $R\ddot{o}hrer$ Idex and Drop Value were used in this study. The results of this study can be applied to the comfortable and safe work environments for workers.

  • Recently, the development of technology has been rapidly proceeding with information technology in various fields. Due to their abstract properties, proper evaluation of intangible assets is very difficult compared to evaluation of tangible assets. Intangible assets are knowledge, technology, and design etc. In general there are two approaches to evaluate the intangible assets such as qualitative and quantitative approach. The qualitative approach contains scoring approach, profile approach, checklist approach, and quantitative approach. Quantitative approach contains cost approach, market approach, income approach, and real-option approach. As an initial step for evaluation of safe work environments, this study compares and analyzes evaluation methods of intangible assets.

  • The main objective of this study is to find factors and typical characteristics on outbreak of musculoskeletal disorders in small sized companies which are located at eastern area in Kangwon-Do. Musculoskeletal disorders are becoming a serious problem in various industrial fields. Many researches have been focused on the analysis on outbreak of musculoskeletal disorders in order to reduce and prevent them. As a similar endeavor, this paper provides factor analysis on outbreak of musculoskeletal disorders. Questionnaire surveys regarding musculoskeletal disorders were conducted for the total number of 250 field workers. For the purpose of this study, seven independent variables(gender, age, career, housework, accident, trouble, and pain) are taken from questionnaires. The provided analysis result will be helpful as a starting point for root cause analysis and reduction of musculoskeletal disorders and also for establishment of safe work environments.

  • Background: Cardiac pacemakers are known to be susceptible to strong electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This in vivo study investigated occurrence of electromagnetic interference with pacemakers caused by common environmental sources of EMFs. Methods: Eleven volunteers with a pacemaker were exposed to EMFs produced by two mobile phone base stations, an electrically powered commuter train, and an overhead high voltage transmission lines. All the pacemakers were programmed in normal clinically selected settings with bipolar sensing and pacing configurations. Results: None of the pacemakers experienced interference in any of these exposure situations. However, often it is not clear whether or not strong EMFs exist in various work environments, and hence an individual risk assessment is needed. Conclusions: Modern pacemakers are well shielded against external EMFs, and workers with a pacemaker can most often return to their previous work after having a pacemaker implanted. However, an appropriate risk assessment is still necessary after the implantation of a pacemaker, a change of its generator, or major modification of its programming settings.

  • Immediate responsibilities for occupational health and safety (OHS) management reside in business proprietors and supervisors whose voluntary participation in OHS educational programs, not legal sanctions, may thus lead to safe and pleasant work environments. This study investigates how to promote the effectiveness of OHS educational programs to draw voluntary participations in such programs in Korea To this end, drawbacks of current practices in OHS education are first analyzed, and then OHS related policies in advanced countries in the area of disaster prevention such as United States and Germany, are also scrutinized. Based on the preliminary investigations, the following propositions are made to lay out the foundation for promoting effective OHS educational programs in Korea: improvement of government regulations, revitalizing job training initiatives, on-site OHS education, compensation and incentive programs for OHS education. These propositions may also facilitate the deployment of disaster prevention activities across the organization and prevent various occupational disorders (for example, musculoskeletal disorders). This study emphasizes that monolithic OHS education systems led by regulatory agencies may not be efficient to ensure healthy and safe work environments. Globally competitive OHS educational systems may be established only when they are based on the health and safety requirements specified by proprietors and workers.

  • 코로나19 이후로 재택근무의 대폭 활성화로 기업 네트워크의 내부와 외부의 경계가 모호해졌다. 이로 인해 전통적인 경계형 보안으로는 기업의 업무 생산성이 정체되고 정보 유출 등의 위험 관리가 어려워졌다. 제로 트러스트 아키텍처 모델이 등장하였으나 기업별로 다양하게 구성된 IT 환경에 적용하기에는 어려움이 있다. 이에 재택근무 시스템 구성을 예시로 온-프레미스, 클라우드 및 망 분리 등의 네트워크 환경에서도 제로 트러스트 모델을 적용할 수 있는 구성과 방법론을 제시하였다. 이를 통해 사이버 위협에 능동적으로 대응하는 지능형 체계인 제로 트러스트 아키텍처를 적용하려는 기업에 가이드를 제공하여 안전하면서도 편리한 사이버 환경 조성에 기여 하고자 한다.

  • 다양한 모바일 단말을 활용한 스마트 워크에 대한 수요 증가 및 클라우드, 웨어러블 컴퓨팅, 차세대 유 무선 통신망 등과 같은 융합형 인프라 기반의 서비스 증가에 따라 네트워크의 신뢰성이 매우 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 그러나, 아직까지 이러한 융합형 인프라 기반의 서비스 제공 시 네트워크의 신뢰성을 제공하는 방안에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고 클라우드 기반 사무환경 구축시 적용할 수 있는 ISNTC (Intelligent Safe Network Technology based on Cloud)를 제안한다. 제안하는 ISNTC는 SDN (Software Defined Network) 기반의 세이프 네트워크 기술을 활용하여 사용자 데이터를 전송하는 방식이며, 동기화된 전송 경로 및 전송 타이밍을 통해 안전한 데이터 전송을 보장한다. 제안한 ISNTC의 성능 평가는 OPnet 기반의 시뮬레이션을 통해 이루어졌으며, 이를 통해 제안한 방안의 우수성을 검증하였다.

  • This research investigates how a Virtual Reality (VR)-based simulation could be used to train safe operation skills for forklift operators. Forklift operation is categorized as high-risk work by many occupational health and safety regulators and authorities due to high injury and fatality rates involved with forklifts. Therefore, many safety guidelines have been developed for forklift operators. Typically, forklift operation safety training is delivered based on instructional texts or videos, which have limitations in influencing people's safety behavior. Against this background, we propose a VR-based forklift simulator that can enable safe operation skills training through a feedback system. The training program consists of several modules to teach how to perform the basic tasks of forklift operation, such as driving, loading and unloading, following the safety guidelines. The system provides instantaneous instructions and feedback regarding safe operation. This training system is based on the model of "learning-by-doing". The user can repeat the training modules as many times as necessary before being able to perform the given task without violating any safety guidelines. The last training module tests the user's acquisition of all safety skills required. The user feedback from several demonstration sessions showed the potential usefulness of the proposed training system.
