Background: With the recent rapid industrialization, occupational safety and health (OSH) has become an important issue in all industrial and human activities. However, incidents of injuries and fatality rates in the Ghanaian industry sector continue to increase. Despite this increase, there is no evidence regarding the element of OSH management in transport activities in Ghanaian industries. Thus, this study aims to examine the perceptions regarding the importance of safety and health in work-related transport activities in Ghanaian industries. Methods: A survey data collection technique was used to gather information on best safety practices over a 5-month period. We randomly selected 298 respondents from industries to answer structured questionnaires. The respondents included drivers, transport managers, and safety engineers. Standard multiple regression model and Pearson product-movement correlation were used to performed the analysis. Results: The result shows that for interventions to improve safety and health, concentration has been on drivers' safety practice with less attention to safe driving environments and vehicle usage. Additionally, the respondents are aware of the importance of OSH in transport activities, but the level of integration does not measure up to the standard to reduce operational accidents and injuries. Finally, strong commitment to changing unsafe practices at all levels of operations appears to be the effective way to improve safety situations. Conclusion: OSH culture is not fully complied in industries transport activities. This study, therefore, supports the use of safety seminars and training sessions for industry workers responsible for transport operations for better integration of safety standards.

Research activities and discussions on specialized areas reflecting the specificity of landscape construction are necessary. Therefore, this study was conducted with the purpose of presenting basic data for efficient field management by deriving items necessary for safety management in landscape construction fields through experts' opinions. A survey was conducted using Delphi analysis to derive "management items" and "safety management items according to landscape type" for landscape construction field safety for a total of 15 landscape construction specialists. The survey results showed that four top items were derived from the "management items" for the safety of landscape construction fields; they include: "safety and health management organization and education," "industrial safety and health management expenses," "payment of personal protection," and "establishment of safety measures." In addition, two to five items for each higher item appeared and resulted in a total of 13 lower items. Personnel, organization, budget, etc. for safety management are always required in the field, and the monitoring part of whether these elements are working was also taken up as a management item. In the "Management items according to each landscape construction" a total of eight landscape type were distinguished, they include: 'Reinforced concrete work', 'Masonry work', 'Plaster's work', 'Waterproof work', 'Stone masonry work', 'Pavement work', 'Facilities work', and 'Planting work'. Furthermore, two to seven sub-items for each construction type were derived, and a total of 35 management items were presented.

This study investigated the method of continuous improvement of small-medium company production processes through POSCO's QSS(Quick Six Sigma) activities. QSS is a field operation technique that encompasses the advantages of Six Sigma, TPS(Toyota Production System), TQM (Total Quality Management), and IE(Industrial Engineering). Through this, POSCO not only encourages activities centered on related small and medium-sized partners, etc., but is also expected to contribute to the continuous improvement of the company's own production process through QSS activities. In this study, rather than unconditionally carrying out activities according to the needs of large companies, the research is to help the continuous improvement of the actual production process of small and medium-sized enterprises by effectively applying and spreading QSS activities in consideration of the characteristics and environment of the company. For this purpose, empirical research is conducted on the process improvement activities and QSS activities of company Y, which has less than 100 assembly and production quality and inspection processes among SMEs. The changes in the production process improvement of SMEs through the application of the final QSS were investigated through empirical studies.

Purpose: This study was aimed to provide information on the awareness of patient safety culture and safety care activities among operating room (OR) nurses and to analyze the factors influencing the safety care activities. Methods: For this descriptive research, self-reported questionnaires were administered to 168 OR nurses who were working at the university-affiliated and general hospitals. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\grave{e}}$ test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 17.0. Results: The mean score of the awareness on patient safety culture was 3.27 out of 5 points and that of safety care activity was 4.31 out of 5. The statistically significant difference was found between experience of safety education and the awareness on patient safety culture. Also, the scores of safety care activities were significantly different according to OR nurses' position, education levels, and experience of safety education. There was a positive correlation between the awareness of patient safety culture and safety care activity. Their explanatory power on safety care activity was 8.8%, which includes working environment in operating room 3.3% and nursing position 5.5%. Conclusion: Compared to the level of patient safety activities, the OR nurses' awareness on patient safety culture was low. Given the specific characteristics and conditions in each hospital, it needs to increase the OR nurses' awareness on patient safety culture and activities related to patient safety.

The Centralized Traffic Control(CTC) System of Urban Railway is an element(subsystem) of the Urban Railway system to aim safety operation and efficient management of rolling stock in accordance with a train scheduling program in train operation ways. That's why the CTC System must be developed considering systematic and safety-guaranteed methods such as RAMS(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) refereed to IEC standards. The CTC System is consists of rolling stock, signaling, power supply, communication, and mechanical equipment and preforms control and remote monitoring functions. The technical activities considering safety process are very important at such an early stage of development in a railway project. This paper introduces RAMS activities and an independent safety assessment by $3^{rd}$ Party focused on a safety applied to a development of the CTC system of Urban Railway and proposes the experiences as well practices.

본 연구는 상급종합병원 환자와 간호사의 안전 인식을 비교하고, 간호사의 환자안전관리 직무수행에 미치는 영향요인을 확인하기 위해 수행된 서술적 조사연구이다. 경상남도 J시 G대학교병원에 입원한 환자 147명과 간호사 147명을 대상으로 하여 2018년 7월 24일부터 9월 23일까지 구조화된 설문지를 사용하여 자료수집 후 SPSS/WIN 23.0으로 통계 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 환자의 안전 인식이 간호사의 인식 정도보다 유의하게 높았으며, 간호사의 환자안전관리 직무수행에 미치는 유의한 영향요인은 교육수준, 근무형태, 의사소통, 환자안전 인식, 환자안전관리 중요성 인식이었다. 다중회귀분석 결과, 환자안전 지식의 하위영역인 '의사소통'과 환자안전관리 중요성 인식의 하위영역인 '환자안전관리에 대한 관심'이 간호사의 환자안전관리 직무수행을 54.8% 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 상급종합병원 간호사의 환자안전관리 직무수행 향상을 위해 간호사는 환자와 조직 구성원간 원활한 의사소통과 관심 정도를 높이는 전략을 개발할 필요가 강조된다.
