Domestic industrial accidents continue to increase, with 2,142 deaths in 2018, up by 185 (9.5%) from 1,957 deaths in 2017. Industrial accidents that cause loss of human lives pose a serious risk to businesses because of the strengthening of safety regulations and the changing public perception of social responsibility. Accordingly, to prevent industrial accidents, companies regularly conduct onsite safety activities and conduct education and training to raise awareness among employees. However, many such corporate activities are not conducted voluntarily and practically by employees but mostly by formal implementation. To discontinue this customary and passive behavior of employees and establish a mature safety culture, strengthening the execution power of safety management at the site is of paramount importance, and to this end, we aim to utilize the safety practice index (SPI). In this study, the SPI calculated on the basis of the results of the 2018 and 2019 risk management and safety activities of a site was compared with the reported safety accidents. The results confirmed that the SPI index can be used as a valid indicator for safety activities for accident prevention, such as strengthening leadership and safety policies to grade and manage safety management levels for a certain period of time or by a department or to convert weaknesses into strengths.

The risk is expressed as consequence of damage multiplied by likelihood of failure. The installation of a protective system reduces the risk by reducing the likelihood of failure at the facility. Also, the protective system has different effects on the likelihood of failure according to the proof test cycle. However, when assessing risks in the Off-site Risk Assessment (ORA) system, the variation in risk was not reflected according to the proof test cycle of protective system. This study was conducted to examine the need for proof test and the importance of cycle setting by applying periodic proof test of the protective system to ORA. The results showed that the likelihood of failure and the risk increased with longer proof test cycle. The risk of a two-yearly proof test was eight times greater than that of a three-month cycle. From the results, the protective system needs periodic proof test. Untested protective system for a long term cannot be reliable because it is more likely to be failed state when it is called upon to operate. In order to reduce the risk to an acceptable level, it is effective to differently set the proof test cycle according to the priority. This study suggested a more systematic and accurate risk analysis standard than ORA. This standard is expected to enable an acceptable level of risk management by systematically setting the priority and proof test cycle of the protective system. It is also expected to contribute to securing the safety of chemical facilities and at the same time, will lead to the development of the ORA system.

일본의 경비업법과 경비산업이 한국에 많은 영향을 미쳤다. 현대적 의미의 민간경비에 대한 역사와 발전과정은 양국간에 큰 차이가 없는데도 불구하고 실질적으로 민간경비에 대한 인식은 차이가 크다. 일본의 민간경비와 경찰의 협력은 교육, 범죄예방, 방재 및 복구, 생활안전 등의 면에서 활발하게 이뤄지고 있다. 한국에서도 민간경비와 경찰의 협력이 더욱 필요한 시점이다. 일본의 협력사례들을 참고하여 한국에서도 범죄예방을 위한 민간경비와 경찰의 협력을 강화해야 할 것이다. 일본의 경우 경찰과 시민단체 경비업협회 경비업자 등은 국민의 안전욕구를 적극적으로 충족시키기 위해 다양한 방범, 방재활동을 전개하고 있다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess environmental risk on the emerging contaminants of concern, such as ivermetin, parziquantel, tamiflu and triclosan. Furthermore, we tried to provide a more efficient management practice and a basis for future studies of risk assessment on those substances. Methods: Predicted no effect concentration (PNEC) and predicted environmental concentration (PEC) were determined through modeling and literature reviews. Environmental risk assessment was evaluated by calculating HQ (hazard quotient) by a comparison of PEC (or measured environmental concentration (MEC)) and PNEC. Results: HQ value of tamiflu calculated from MEC was 1.9E-03. For ivermectin and triclosan, the HQ values were not available because these were not detected in the aquatic environment. The toxicity of ivermectin and triclosan showed a very low value, indicating a high level of HQ. However, praziquantel can be categorized into the material that do not require management since they have less than HQ 1. Conclusion: Based on the results of the initial risk assessment, it is assumed that the ivermectin and triclosan have potential to cause direct adverse effects on the aquatic environment. To conduct an accurate environmental risk assessment, the further study on PEC estimation of such contaminants should be actively carried out.

1950년대 후반 이후, 항공분야에서 사고율을 줄이기 위해 많은 노력을 기울여 안전 수준이 향상되었다. 전반적인 사고 비율은 지난 몇 년 동안 상당히 감소하였고, 환경 및 기계적 요인에 의한 사고는 감소하였으나, 인적오류 관련 사고는 불행히도 감소하는데 성공하지 못했다. 환경적 기계적 요소에 기인하는 사고는 줄었으나, 인적오류는 항공사고 원인 인자로 증가하고 있다. 오늘날, 모든 항공 사고의 매우 큰 비율이 직접 또는 간접적으로 인적오류의 몇 가지 형태에 비롯되고 있다. 많은 연구의 결과로, 인간의 오류 방지에 대해서 개발되고 있다. 그러나 어떤 종류의 오류 방지는 정확성, 효율성의 부족과 체계적인 접근에서 부족한 면이 고려되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인간의 오류에 가장 효과적이고 체계적인 예방을 분석하고 인간의 오류 및 항공 안전에 대한 방법에 있어 통합에 집중 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 인적오류 예방을 위한 여러 대안들 사이의 우선순위를 이해하고 파악함으로써 인적오류 문제를 해결하기 위한 시사점을 제시하고 한다.

OECD는 규제개혁을 '보다 나은 규제'와 '규제폐지'로 구분하고, 환경 및 안전 분야의 규제는 지속되어야 한다고 강조한다. 반면에, 1990년대에 진행된 한국소방의 규제개혁은 일방적인 규제의 완화 또는 폐지라는 방향으로 진행되는 매우 기이한 현상을 나타내고 있다. 영국 소방예방법규의 경우, 1971년 화재예방법의 제정 이후 대형화재의 발생에 대응하여 지속적으로 예방법규를 강화해 오고 있으며, 1991년 건축령에서는 주택을 포함하여 모든 건물에 대하여 각층에 최소 한 개의 연기경보기를 설치할 것을 의무화하고 있다. 이 연구는 영국에서의 소방예방법규의 강화가 소방안전을 제고 시켰다는 것을 보여 주고 있는데, 이것은 한국소방에 시사하는 바가 크다. 한국소방의 경우 화제로부터 시민의 생명과 재산을 보호하기 위해서 '안전, 보건, 환경과 관련된 규제의 질을 개선한다'는 규제개혁위원회의 규제개혁 기본방향이 철저히 준수되어야 하며, 비록 규제개혁의 전체적 전략이 모든 규제를 감소시키는 것일지라도 안전에 관한 규정은 오히려 증가시킬 수 있다는 기본방향의 유연성이 확보되어야 한다.

In recent decades, numerous instances of blockages have been reported in coastal nuclear power plants globally, leading to serious safety accidents such as power reduction, manual or automatic power loss, or shutdown of nuclear power units. Loss or shortage of cooling water may compromise the reliability of the cooling water system, thus threatening the operational safety of power plants and resulting in revenue reduction. This study provides a comprehensive review of the current state of cooling water system safety in coastal nuclear power plants worldwide and the common challenges they face, as well as the relevant research on cooling water system safety issues. The research overview and progress in investigation methods, outbreak mechanisms, prevention and control measures, and practical cases of blockages were summarized. Despite existing research, there are still many shortcomings regarding the pertinence, comprehensiveness and prospects of related research, and many problems urgently need to be solved. The most fundamental concern involves understanding the list of potential risks of blockages and their spatially distributed effects in surrounding waters. Furthermore, knowledge of the biological cycles and ecological habits of key organisms is essential for implementing risk prevention and control and for building a scientific and effective monitoring system.

The terminological definition of 'safety' is difficult because the word has an meaning and the usage is too wide and various in itself. There could be various meanings of 'safety' according to the specific area on which the term is used. Even though the variety is permitted, a definition on the term of 'safety' is necessary not only to raise the understanding of consistent terminological meaning but also to make assure the perfectness on all of the applications. The term of 'safety' can be understood clearly by the comparison with the antonym and the synonym, and the limitation of the usage can be established through the comparative studies. Comparing with the antonym such as 'risk', 'safety' implies the recognition and prevention of the danger before an accident or a disaster occurs. Comparing with another antonym of 'disaster', 'safety' comprehends all the saving activities for the disaster and the measures to prevent the spread of collateral damages. The comparison with the synonym, 'security' shows that 'safety' can include the prevention of intentional mishaps. The Korean word of 'safety' might be selected by a scholar who was well educated to understand Chinese language and certain canonical texts written in Chinese. The etymological study of 'safety' was concentrated on I-ching which has been believed that could foretell a future and show a measure to prevent bad luck by performing good virtue in the life. The Korean word of 'safety' might come from Xicizhuan(Great treatise) which is known as one of ten commentaries for I-ching. The texts from Xicizhuan describes that all of the explanations about safety which could be translated to the principles of safety nowadays.
