Manual lifting, as a part of Manual Materials Handling Activities, is recognized by authorities in the field of occupational health and safety as a major hazard to industrial workers. The most important problem in applying fuzzy model of manual materials lifting is the decision of membership functions on each approaches. : Biomechanical, Physiological, Psychophysical. The primary objectives of this paper suggests to process deciding the most acceptable membership functions for establishing permissible weights on manual lifting activities using fuzzy sets.

Background: An increasing trend of cytotoxic drug use, mainly in cancer treatment, has increased the occupational exposure among the nurses. This study aimed to assess the change of nurses' safety-related knowledge as well as attitude levels and subsequently to assess the change of cytotoxic drug handling practices in wards after a series of pharmacist-based interventions. Materials and Methods: This prospective interventional study with a before and after design requested a single group of 96 nurses in 15 wards actively providing chemotherapy to answer a self-administered questionnaire. A performance checklist was then used to determine the compliance of all these wards with the recommended safety measures. The first and second assessments took 2 months respectively with a 9-month intervention period. Pharmacist-based interventions included a series of technical, educational and administrative support measures consisting of the initiation of closed-system cytotoxic drug reconstitution (CDR) services, courses, training workshops and guideline updates. Results: The mean age of nurses was $32.2{\pm}6.19$ years. Most of them were female (93.8%) and married (72.9%). The mean knowledge score of nurses was significantly increased from $45.5{\pm}10.52$ to $73.4{\pm}8.88$ out of 100 (p<0.001) at the end of the second assessment. Overall, the mean practice score among the wards was improved from $7.6{\pm}5.51$ to $15.3{\pm}2.55$ out of 20 (p<0.001). Conclusions: The pharmacist-based interventions improved the knowledge, attitude and safe practices of nurses in cytotoxic drug handling. Further assessment may help to confirm the sustainability of the improved practices.

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the effectiveness of horizontal, vertical, asymmetric and coupling multipliers for manual material handling. Lifting tasks with 5 different horizontal distances ($30{\sim}70cm$) for 6 vertical distances(ankle, knee, waist, elbow, shoulder and head height) were experimented. The muscle activity and muscle exertion level during asymmetric load handling(without trunk flexion) was experimented. Lifting tasks with and without handle tote box for three postures(straight, bending, right angle posture) were experimented. The degrading tendency did not appeared almost in $60{\sim}70cm$ interval's horizontal distance. As a result of ANOVA, MVC paid attention to horizontal and vertical distance but cross effect was insignificant(p<0.01). The change of the MVC according to the horizontal, vertical distance appeared similar from of RWL. The results of normalized MVC measurement were decreased about 16%, 24%, 34% respectively as the asymmetry angle was $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$. RMS EMG values of right erector spinae muscles were decreased as the work posture went to $90^{\circ}$ and those of left erector spinae muscles were increased until the asymmetry angle was $40^{\circ}$ but decreased continually over $40^{\circ}$. 7 subjects, activities of left and right latissimus dorsi muscles were maintained constantly, while for remainer, those were irregular. MVC reduced maximum 23% by type of handle. MVC was highest in straight posture, but was lowest in right angle posture. As a result of ANOVA, MVC paid attention to posture, coupling(p<0.01). To all handle types, biceps brachii activity was increased in right angle posture, but reduced in straight posture. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that the NIOSH guideline should not be directly applied to Korean without reasonable reexamination. In addition, we need to afterward study through an age classification.

항만을 출입항하는 선박의 통항 안전을 확보하기 위해서는 방파제와 같은 항만 시설물의 설계 또는 배치시에는 우선적으로 선박의 조종 성능을 감안하여 교통 흐름이 원활하도록 적정한 항로를 지정하여야 한다. 이 연구에서는 부산항 및 감천항 입항을 위해 방파제 인접 항로에서 일정 침로로 접근하는 컨테이너 선박이 외력인 바람, 조류, 파랑에 의해 선체에 발생하는 횡압류 및 회두 현상을 정량적으로 분석하여, 선속에 따라 외력을 상쇄하기 위해 취해야 할 대응타각을 산출한다. 또한 향후 방파제 설계 및 배치시 고려해야 될 외력하의 선박의 조종 성능요소를 제안함과 동시에 방파제의 설계와 항로 배치와의 관계에 대하여 고찰한다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to propose revision of the occupational exposure limit(OEL) for 1-Bromopropane(1-BP) following a review of the appropriateness of the standard in light of increasing epidemiological data and handling risk. Materials and Methods: The results of toxicity and epidemiologic investigations for 1-BP and agencies' OELs were compared and reviewed through a literature review. In order to investigate the status of 1-BP handling in South Korea, data from work environment actual condition survey results and work environment measurement results were used. Results: The toxicity of 1-BP, such as central nervous system(CNS) damage, peripheral neuropathy, hematological adverse effects, and developmental and reproductive toxicity(male and female) has been reported. ACGIH recommends 0.1 ppm as a TLV-TWA value, but the OEL of South Korea stands at 25 ppm, which is 250 times higher than the TLV-TWA. Although 1-BP is a specially managed substance under the Industrial Safety and Health Law, the currently applied OEL cannot be said to be a safe level based on the results of epidemiological studies to date. In a work environment measurement in 2017, the total number of samples was 626, which were derived from 78 industries, and the average concentration was 1.173 ppm(standard deviation 2.88). Conclusions: To protect the health of workers handling 1-BP, estimated to be 780 in South Korea, it is necessary to strengthen the OEL(TWA) to a level of 0.3 ppm(lower than the 0.34 ppm with known toxic effects), which is believed to be safe as a result of epidemiological investigation. "Skin" notation should be recommended.

항공기와 자동차의 운전을 중심으로 알코올이 인간의 행동과 수행도에 미치는 연구가 많이 이루어져 왔으며 이를 통해 선박의 당직 전 및 당직 중의 음주는 이어지는 행동에 큰 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 승선 중 음주 실태를 파악하기 위하여, 선택형 앙케트를 교육중인 사관들에게 배포하여 118명으로부터 얻어진 결과를 조사하였다. 알코올 의존도에 관한 자가진단결과에 따르면, 조사대상자의 27% 이상이 알코올 남용 증세를 나타내었다. 또한, 승선 중 음주 현황 및 인식에 관한 사항을 정리하여, 선박운항 시뮬레이터를 이용한 음주 운항 시나리오를 마련하였으며, 알코올이 선박운항능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 실험결과를 분석한 결과, 알코올의 섭취가 선박운항능력을 다소 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과는 앞으로 선박운항자의 피로에 의한 해양사고 발생을 근본적으로 줄이기 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

A huge number of chemicals are produced and used in the world, and some of them can have negative effects on the reproductive health of workers. To date, most chemicals and work environments have not been studied for their potential to have damaging effects on the workers' reproductive system. Because of the lack of information, many workers may not be aware that such problems can be related to occupational exposures. Newly industrialized countries such as Republic of Korea have rapidly amassed chemicals and other toxicants that pose health hazards, especially to the reproductive systems of workers. This literature review provides an overview of peer-reviewed literature regarding the teratogenic impact and need for safe handling of chemicals. Literature searches were performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Search strategies were narrowed based on author expertise and 100 articles were chosen for detailed analysis. A total of 47 articles met prespecified inclusion criteria. The majority of papers contained studies that were descriptive in nature with respect to the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and keywords: "reproductive and heath or hazard and/or workplace or workers or occupations." In the absence of complete information about the safe occupational handling of chemicals in Republic of Korea (other than a material safety data sheet), this review serves as a valuable reference for identifying and remedying potential gaps in relevant regulations. The review also proposes other public health actions including hazard surveillance and primary prevention activities such as reduction, substitution, ventilation, as well as protective equipment.
