Since 1986, domestic sewage treatment plants have installed and operated biogas plants that produce biogas (digested gas) using food, livestock manure and sewage sludge as part of the use of alternative energy for energy independence. Despite concerns about safety accidents and risks of large-scale accidents due to the continuous expansion of biogas plants, the Ministry of Environment has managed and supervised biogas plants to be environmental plants, focusing on environmental management. There is a lack of safety awareness of workers' processes. Only recently has the process safety management (PSM) system been implemented in biogas plants, but workers' perceptions of process safety have changed. As there is a difference in the degree of safety process management and safety awareness among workers, it is necessary to establish clear and systematic safety management standards. Therefore, The purpose of this study is to examine whether the application of the plant safety management (PSM) system to biogas plants is effective for workers' safety awareness in order to ensure safe operation of biogas plants and prevent workers' safety accidents in advance.

Background: Safety of drugs has become a major issue in public healthcare. Spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reaction (ADR) is the cornerstone in management of drug safety. We aimed to investigate the awareness and knowledge of spontaneous ADR reporting in general public of Korea. Methods: A total of 1,500 study subjects aged 19-69 years were interviewed with a questionnaire for their awareness and knowledge related to spontaneous ADR reporting. Computer assisted telephone interview was performed from 27th February 2013 to 4th March 2013. Target population was selected with quota sampling, using age, sex, and residence area. Healthcare professionals such as physicians, pharmacists, and nurses were excluded. The survey questions included awareness of spontaneous ADR reporting, opinions on ways to activate ADR reporting, and sociodemographic characteristics. Results: Overall awareness of spontaneous ADR reporting system was 8.3% (${\pm}2.53%$) among general population of Korea. Major source from which people got the information regarding ADR reporting was television/radio (69.9%), followed by internet (19.3%), and poster/brochure (6.1%). Awareness level differed between age groups (p<0.0001) and education levels (p<0.0001). Upon learning about the ADR reporting system, 88.5% of study subjects agreed on the necessity of ADR reporting system, while 46.6% thought promotion through internet and mass media as an effective way to activate ADR reporting. Conclusion: The overall awareness of spontaneous ADR reporting should be enhanced in order to establish a firm national system for drug safety. Adequate promotions should be performed targeting lower awareness groups, as well as various publicity activities via effective channels for the general population.

There are many ways to identify airline's perception of the safety program and safety culture. In particular, various studies are under way to measure airline safety culture and safety awareness of airline employees. Often, survey methods are used a lot, but there is a limit to understanding the complex and diverse aviation culture through surveys alone. Nevertheless, the Air Safety Management System (SMS) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) emphasizes the importance of safety surveys as a means of ensuring awareness of safety culture. The safety surveys is effective in identifying and providing awareness of the relationship between employees and the Air Safety Program (SMS, Safety Management and Safety Culture aspects). In this study, we conducted a survey of Z Airlines flight attendants and cabin crew to compare their perception of safety programs and culture, and based on this survey, we would like to compare and analyze simple safety culture measurements and safety awareness.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 대형재난사고의 주요한 요인으로 지적되는 국민들의 재난안전의식을 활성화 시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구방법:본 연구에서는 재난관리 및 안전의식에 관한 이론적인 검토를 실시하고, 재난사고의 원인을 도출하기 위해 '재난관리평가 국민안전 체감도의식' 조사 결과 및 대형재난사고 사례들을 분석하여 선진 재난안전의식 활성화 방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과: 재난관리평가 국민안전 체감도 조사를 통해 재난관리 4단계 중 '대응'차원은 잘 수행되고 있으나, '복구'차원이 미흡한 국민들은 인식하고 있었고, 특히 '예방' 차원에서 재난안전에 대한 교육이 매우 부족하다고 느끼고 있었다. 국민 안전의식 조사를 통해서는 대피시설에 대한 인지 수준이 매우 낮았고, 감염병과 붕괴사고에 대한 정보가 부족한 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 일상생활에서의 안전수칙 준수에 대한 인식이 미흡한 것으로 드러났다. 대형재난사고(코로나19, 밀양세종병원 화재, 2004년 동해안 산불)에 대한 사례를 분석한 결과, 안전불감증과 같은 안전의식의 결여가 피해규모의 확대를 유발시킨 주요한 원인임을 도출하였다. 결론:재난사고를 예방·감소시킬 수 있는 가장 근본적인 요소는 선진 재난안전의식의 활성화이며, 이를 제고하기 위한 세 가지 방안을 제시하였다. 먼저, 안전교육 및 안전홍보 활동의 확대를 통한 안전문화운동의 확산이 필요하다. 두 번째로는 재난대응에 대한 실효성을 향상시키기 위해 일반인들을 대상으로 하는 재난대비훈련을 시행해야 한다. 마지막으로 안전에 대한 개개인의 인식 전환이 필요하다. 이러한 요소들이 체계적으로 이루어져야만 선진 재난안전의식이 제고될 수 있을 것이며, 궁극적으로 우리 사회의 재난사고들이 감소될 수 있을 것이다.
