This paper presents study on the electric potential distribution when have a short in street lamp. In order to measure electric potential testing ground is built in. A experiment is conducted to simulate dry and submerged situation of street lamp. The street lamp is leaked by artificial means. And electric potential is measured in grounded street lamp and street lamp alone. The results show that touch voltage of grounded street lamp is possible more high than street lamp alone. And the electric shock hazard is high because high electric potential is distributed near submerged street lamp. Also if street lamp is submerged ground is not useful to decrease electric shock hazard.

Effective interventions to reduce work-related exposures are available for many types of work-related diseases or injuries. However, knowledge of the impact of these interventions on injury or disease outcomes is scarce due to practical and methodological reasons. Study designs are considered for the evaluation of occupational health interventions on occupational disease or injury. Latency and frequency of occurrence of the health outcomes are two important features when designing an evaluation study with occupational disease or occupational injury as an outcome measure. Controlled evaluation studies-giving strong indications for an intervention effect-seem more suitable for more frequently occurring injuries or diseases. Uncontrolled evaluation time or case series studies are an option for evaluating less frequently occurring injuries or diseases. Interrupted time series offer alternatives to experimental randomized controlled trials to give an insight into the effectiveness of preventive actions in the work setting to decision and policy makers.

Pipe wall thinning in the secondary piping system of a nuclear power plant is currently a major problem that typically affects the safety and reliability of the nuclear power plant directly. Regular in-service inspections are carried out to manage the piping system only during the overhaul. Online thickness monitoring is necessary to avoid abrupt breakage due to wall thinning. To this end, a transducer that can withstand a high-temperature environment and should be installed under the insulation layer. We propose a thin plate type of embedded ultrasonic transducer based on magnetostriction. The transducer was designed and fabricated to measure the thickness of a pipe under a high-temperature condition. A number of experimental results confirmed the validity of the present transducer.

Industrial facilities need design to predict and reduce noise from design to prevent and reduce noise. The purpose of this study is to predict worker's environment and evaluate safety by analyzing noise inside underground blower room and air compressor room with fluid machinery in waste facility. This waste incineration facility was analyzed based on the ground floor, ground floor blower chamber, and air compressor chamber. The results of SPL(Sound Pressure Level) analysis at 1.5m away, which are frequently used to measure the SPL as a noise source, are as follows. SPL of basement level: 46.80[dB], SPL of ground layer: 48.57[dB]. As a result, it was expected that the noise level would be considerably lower than the 8 hours 50[dB] noise exposure per day.

Background: Rapid population aging in developed countries has resulted in the working-age population increasingly being tasked with the provision of informal care. Methods: An educational intervention was delivered to 21 carer-employees employed at a Canadian University. Work role function, job security, schedule control, work-family conflict, familywork conflict, and supervisor and coworker support were measured as part of an aggregated workplace experience score. This score was used to measure changes pre/post intervention and at a follow-up period approximately 12 months post intervention. Three random intercept models were created via linear mixed modeling to illustrate changes in participants' workplace experience across time. Results: All three models reported statistically significant random and fixed effects intercepts, with a positive coefficient of change. Conclusion: This suggests that the intervention demonstrated an improvement of the workplace experience score for participants over time, with the association particularly strong immediately after intervention.

Recently, many countries around the world began to show interest in safety against terrorism, fire, and natural disasters. This study aimed to propose a quantitative measurement system for emergency evacuation and safety for various kinds of terrorism and fire within high-rise multi-purpose facilities, which can measure the pedestrians' ordinary walking patterns in the concourse with the highest pedestrian volume out of all the spaces within multi-story buildings, predict pedestrians' evacuation walking lines when a sudden disaster breaks out, and analyze the gait coefficient, occupant density, and evacuation behavior time.

The purpose of this study is to examine the disaster management system of local governments by diagnosing the current status of disaster management experts in Korea, deriving problems and improvement measures, and looking at local governments' total labor cost system. The status and status of disaster management personnel were compared and analyzed to find ways to improve the local government's disaster management response system under the Framework Act on Disaster and Safety Management in Korea. Considering Korea's reality, because national security and disaster management exist together, we devised a plan to improve on-site response capabilities and seek solutions by deriving the problems of the currently operating security and safety-related organizations.

Concern for patient safety underlies the need for interprofessional education (IPE). One way to measure the effectiveness of IPE is by measuring attitude change toward other healthcare professionals; however, there are currently no valid Korean tools to measure such a change in attitudes. Therefore, this study aims to develop and test a Korean version of the Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (IPAS). The original IPAS was translated into Korean according to the World Health Organization's guidelines after obtaining permission from the article's corresponding author. A total of 414 questionnaires were collected from third- and fourth-year medical and nursing students at four Korean institutions in December 2018. To analyze the validity of the Korean IPAS, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. Cronbach's α was used to evaluate reliability. Results from the exploratory factor analysis identified four functions: teamwork, community-centeredness, patient-centeredness, and respect for diversity. Significant cross-correlations were found among the four functions (r=0.438-0.631, p<0.001) along with overall reliability (Cronbach's α=0.929) and reliability of each subfactor (Cronbach's α=0.804-0.897). This study verified the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the IPAS, so this scale can be used in the future to measure the effectiveness of IPE in Korea.

UN해양법협약 제94조에 따르면 기국은 자국선박의 안전 확보를 위한 총체적 역할을 다하여야 하며, 관련 조치로서 선박검사제도를 운영하여야 한다. 대한민국 정부(해양수산부)는 해사안전 증진의 목적을 위해 해양사고 저감을 목표로 설정한 관련 정책을 시행하였으나 목표를 달성하지 못하고 있다. 선박검사제도는 해양사고 예방을 위한 조치로서 실효성 있는 제도의 운영을 위해서는 현행 선박검사제도의 원류(原流)에 대한 충분한 이해가 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 국제적 선박검사제도의 기원과 시대적 패러다임 변화에 대한 분석을 통해 선박검사제도의 국제적 동향을 파악하였다. 최근 선박검사제도의 국제적 패러다임은 '국제표준화'와 선사(선주)의 능동적 안전관리의 중요성이 커지고 있음을 확인하였다. 이에 근거하여 국내 선박검사제도의 패러다임 전환방안으로 'PDCA Cycle 기반 자체검사제도'의 도입을 제시하였다. 이는 해사안전의 효과성을 향상시키기 위한 ISO 9000 시리즈의 기본 철학을 바탕으로 선박검사제도 이해관계자의 역할을 정립한 새로운 형태의 선박검사제도이다. 더불어 인류는 'COVID-19'의 팬더믹 상황에 따라 비대면 선박검사제도의 필요성이 대두되고 있어 이에 대한 대안으로서 'ICT기술의 빠른 발전'이란 시대적 환경변화에 따른 '모바일 애플리케이션 기반 선박검사제도' 전환을 제안하였다.
