Tube Lines has carried out a "knowledge and investigation programme" on the deep tube tunnels comprising the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines, as required by the PPP contract with London Underground. Many of the tunnels have been in use for over 100 years, so this assessment was considered essential to the future safe functioning of the system. This programme has involved a number of generic investigations which guide the assessment methodology and the analysis of some 5,000 individual structures. A significant amount of investigation has been carried out, including ultrasonic thickness measurement, detection of brickwork laminations using radar, stress measurement using magnetic techniques, determination of soil parameters using CPT, pressuremeter and laboratory testing, installation of piezometers, material and tunnel segment testing, and trialling of remote photographic techniques for inspection of large tunnels and shafts. Vibrating wire, potentiometer, electro level, optical and fibre-optic monitoring has been used, and laser measurement and laser scanning has been employed to measure tunnel circularity. It is considered that there is scope for considerable improvements in non-destructive testing technology for structural assessment in particular, and some ideas are offered as a "wish-list". Assessment reports have now been produced for all assets forming Tube Lines' deep tube tunnel network. For assets which are non-compliant with London Underground standards, the risk to the operating railway has to be maintained as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) using enhanced inspection and monitoring, or repair where required. Monitoring techniques have developed greatly during recent years and further advances will continue to support the economic whole life asset management of infrastructure networks.

The study evaluated the accuracy and intra-rater reliability for OWAS (Ovako Working posture Analysing System), RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment), REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) to improve their evaluation accuracy and reliability. Participants (n = 163) with undergraduate degree were recruited in this study and trained for 6 hours about the ergonomic assessment methods. Ergonomic assessments were conducted using OWAS, RULA, and REBA for a representative work with dynamic posture found in manufacturing industries. The study compared action categories (overall level) and detailed evaluation scores for individual body part. Action categories of the participants significantly differed from the golden reference defined by ergonomic experts. The participants underrated or omitted scores for truck (37.4% of the participants) and legs (52.8%) in OWAS. Similarly, the participants underrated or omitted additional scores for all body parts except the hand and wrist in RULA (53.5%) and REBA (54.8%). On the other hand, the participants overrated scores for the hand and wrist in RULA (55.2%) and REBA (39.9%). The results found in this study can help of selecting focus points and parts during assessment and education to improve accuracy and reliability of the ergonomic assessment methods.

산림작업은 비정형화된 작업 환경(날씨, 지형)에서 신체의 반복적인 동작 등으로 인하여 근골격계 질환에 취약하다. 특히, 조림목의 원활한 생장을 위해 실행하는 풀베기와 칡덩굴제거 작업은 여전히 많은 인력이 투입되고 있으며, 이 작업자세에 대한 인간공학적 평가가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 OWAS (Ovako Working Posture Analysis System) 분석방법을 이용하여 예초기를 이용한 풀베기 작업과 낫·손톱을 이용한 칡덩굴제거 작업의 신체부담을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 또한 작업자세 위험도 지수(Postural risk index: PRI)를 통하여 산림작업의 위험 정도를 분석하였다. 풀베기와 칡덩굴제거 작업원에 대한 작업자세를 분석한 결과, 칡덩굴제거작업의 작업자세 위험성이 풀베기작업에 비해 통계적으로 더 높은 수준을 보였다. 칡덩굴을 제거하는 작업 과정 중에서 다리에서는 두 다리를 구부리는 자세와 무릎 꿇는 자세의 비율이 높게 나타나기 때문에 근골격계에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구결과는 풀베기와 칡덩굴제거 작업원의 작업부하 및 근골격계 질환을 저감하는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In the application of the ecosystem-based fisheries assessment Jeonnam marine ranching ecosystem, two fisheries, funnel fishery and trap fishery, were selected as target fisheries. Black seabream, Acanthopagru schlegelii, rock bream, Sebastes inermis, gray mullet, Mugil cephalus, were selected as target species for the funnel fishery, and conger eel, Conger myriaster, was target species for the trap fishery. For assessing indicators of four management objectives, that is the maintenance of sustainability, biodiversity, habitat quality and socio-economic benefits, indicators were selected considering the availability of data, which were 5 indicators for sustainability, 3 indicators for biodiversity, 4 indicators for habitat, 2 indicators for socio-economic benefit. The Objective risk indices for sustainability and biodiversity of two fisheries were estimated at yellow zone, medium risk level. The objective risk indices for habitat and socio-economic benefit were estimated at green zone, safe level. The species risk indices (SRI) were estimated at yellow zone. The fishery risk indices (FRIs) were estimated at 1.143 and 1.400 for funnel net fishery and trap fishery, respectively. Finally the ecosystem risk index estimated at 1.184.

유연탄 발전과 원자력 발전의 경제성 평가를 균등한 인체 위험도 하에서 서기 2000년의 시점에서 수행하였다. 유연탄 발전과 원자력 발전의 인체에 대한 영향 비교에서, 유연탄의 영향이 원자력에 비해서 10배가량 높은 것을 에너지 시스템의 위험도 평가에 관한 여러 연구결과들로부터 알 수 있었다. 그런데 위험도가 0인 상태는 존재하지 않으므로, 유연탄 발전과 원자력 발전간의 위험도 차이만을 본 논문의 위험도로 간주했다. 인체 위험도 비용은 사망과 질병의 두 경우로 나누어서, 사망의 경우에는 Human Life Value로 계산하고, 질병의 경우에는 완치될 때까지의 치료비등 제반 비용으로 계산했다. 이러한 방법에 의한 계산 결과 사망의 비용은 ＄250,000이 되었고, 질병의 경우는 ＄90,000이 되었다. (1986 US＄) 그리고 비용편익분석을 통해서 유연탄 화력 발전의 최적 규제 기준치를 구했는데, 이 규제치는 최소 사회비용이 발생되는 지점에서 구해졌다. 서기 2000년의 한국에서의 SOx에 대한 최적 규제치는 165ppm으로 나타났다. 이러한 전력 생산의 경제성 평가 방법으로부터, 원자력이 유연탄 화력에 비해서 더 경제적인 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 불확실도는 유연탄화력이 더 작은 것으로 나타났다.

Safety Management of Korean railway industry has been rapidly changed into a risk-based approach adopted by developed countries since Railway Safety Act 2004, Rolling Stock Risk Assessment Guidance and its following regulations came into force. The fundamental requirements for the risk-based safety management is to carry out a systematic hazard identification and quantified risk analyses including cost-benefit analyses, but there has been rare a serious discussion over risk acceptance criteria and value of life in order to be able to judge the results of risk analyses and carry out cost-benefit analyses. This study presents the results of a review of risk acceptance criteria and value of life which may be adoped to Korean railway industry through the analyses with comparison of risk accepatnce principles and risk accepatnce criteria which have been already applied to other countries or other railway operators.

In a PCB factory, there is a corrosive chemical substance supply system that can causes major leakage accidents. These accidents can give rise to shut down the factory and do residents damage that cause enormous loss of properties. To mitigate these risks, it is necessary to provide a chemical disaster prevention system. Moreover, after considering the situation and environment of the production site, it is of great importance to build an optimal chemical accident prevention system by reflecting risk reduction measures from the point of process design and by assessing quantitative risk based on reliability data. However, because there was no established database of the reliability about facilities and equipment that can be used in the domestic, the business site and consulting organization had being used the reliability data such as USA CCPS(Center for Chemical Process Safety). In these days, Korean institutes are studying on reliability data utilization method of quantitative risk assessment for preventing chemical accidents and domestic utilization algorithms and storage bed of reliability data. This study presents samples of reliability database about the chemical substance supply system that constructed from the history data such as failure, maintenance for 10 years at a PCB factory. Also, this work proposes the safety design criteria for supply facilities of corrosive chemical substance by assessing quantitative risk on the basis of the reliability data.

Objective: This study explored the reuse of data captured into an electronic nursing record system using the International Classification for Nursing Practice to support nursing research of inpatient's falls. Methods: Risk factors relevant to inpatients falls ;n an acute setting were identified from the literature review. Four risk assessment tools and two risk identification studies were selected. To examine the availability of coded data in an electronic nursing record system for the identified fall fisk factors, we reviewed 11.319 hospital-day records of 118 patients who were reported by the self-report system. Results: We identified 24 fall risk factors of five categories from the literature review, which were used to identify the standard nursing statements addressing fall risks. One hundred thirty five nursing statements were searched from the hospital's nursing data dictionary of statements and were matched with 14 fall fisk factors. Using the 135 statements. we found that mental status, catheter of drip in situ, abnormal gait, insomnia, surgical procedure. and dizziness/vertigo appeared frequently in the nursing records of inpatients with fall s. Also we found 6 risk factors more through the record review. Conclusion: The electronic records would be a good research source for inpatients' falls. Specifically international classification for nursing practice based nursing record system has the potential for promoting clinical researches.

최근 선박평형수에 의한 외래 유입 해양생물체에 대한 관리가 시급한 과제로 대두되고 있다. 이는 외래 유입 유해 생물이 해양생태계를 교란시키고 있기 때문이다. 또한 연안의 수산물 어획 및 상업적 활동 및 자원에 악영향을 미치고 있다. 이와 관련하여 IMO에서는 선박평형수에 의한 해양생물체 유입을 관리하기 위해 선박평형수 위해도 평가 시스템인 GloBallast를 운영한 바 있다. GloBallast는 선박평형수 배출량, 선박평형수 배출횟수, 항만 간 환경 유사도, 유해생물종의 수량을 주요 인자로 사용하여 국가 간 선박평형수의 이동에 의한 상대적인 위해도를 평가하도록 구성되어 있는데, GloBallast를 시범 운영해 본 결과에 의하면 주요 인자 중 환경유사도 인자가 다른 인자들에 비해 위해도 평가 결과에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 큰 것으로 파악되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 GloBallast 위해도 평가에 사용되고 있는 주요 인자들 간의 상관관계에 대해 살펴보고, 이들 주요 인자들이 보다 합리적으로 위해도 평가에 반영될 수 있는 방안에 대해 검토하였다.
