The increasing size and complexity of modern construction projects demands mature capabilities of onsite personnel with regard to recognizing unsafe situations. Construction safety training is paper or computer-based and suffers from a distinct gap between the classroom training environment and real-world construction sites; even trained personnel can find it difficult to recognize many of the potential safety hazards at their jobsites even after receiving construction safety training. Immersive technologies can overcome the current limitations in construction safety training by reducing the gap between the classroom and a real construction environment. This research developed and tested a new Augmented Reality (AR)-based assessment tool to evaluate the hazard recognition skills of students majoring in construction management as part of a construction safety course. The quantitative and qualitative results of this research confirmed that AR-based assessment can become a very effective assessment tool to evaluate safety knowledge and skills in a construction safety course, outperforming both paper and computer-based assessment methods. The students preferred AR-based assessment because it provides a realistic visual context for real world safety hazards.

The contents of aircraft system safety assessment vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the system, how critical the system is to flight safety, what volume of experience is available on the type of system and the novelty and complexity of the technologies being used. If the system safety assessment is to substantiate that the developed products are 'safe enough' to be taken into use, then the system safety assessment should be planned and managed to provide the necessary assurance that all relevant hazards and failure conditions have been identified and that all significant combinations of hazards and failures which could cause those conditions have been considered. The assessment must assist the designer and management in making decisions. It must make clear what the critical features of each system are and upon which special manufacturing techniques, inspection, testing, crew drills and maintenance practice they are critically dependent. This paper has prepared to study on promoting the efficiency of aircraft system safety assessment and to present how to compile system safety assessment strategy.

Electrostatic eliminators are essential in various areas of manufacturing industries to protect electrostatic hazards and to reduce inferior products. For ion sources used in the charge neutralizers, there are corona discharge, soft X-ray, and ultraviolet and glow discharge. Among them, corona discharge is generally used, because the corona discharge can easily and economically produce positive and negative ions including electrons in air at atmospheric pressure. But it is necessary to equip explosion-protection electrostatic eliminators wherever hazardous atmosphere. The electrostatic eliminators and their testing method of explosion-protection type have been developed in this research. The contents and scope of the research as follows; developing the type 'Ex s IIB T4' electrostatic eliminator of explosion-protection; developing the type 'Ex s d IIB T4' electrostatic eliminator of explosion-protection; developing the explosion-protection performance testing method of electrostatic eliminator for using AC power source.

As the domestic communication industry has been made rapid progresses, the construction of base stations are also expanded yearly from more than 86,000 ones in the year 2005 to over 300,000 ones in 2013. While the new construction and rebuilt works have been rapidly increased, there has been not tried about the analysis as well as the control of hazards for the construction works. This study is conducted to do not only the focus interview for 27 expert groups who are engaged in the construction works and safety, but also the questionnaires for AHP analysis which is suggested by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency for 92 persons who are engaged in the construction works in order to analyze the hazards of construction works for base stations. The high ranked risk works which are acquired from the two methods are fall under installation of antennae, struck by the hand tools and construction materials under installation of antennae, fall during going up and down the steel tower and telegraph poles and the fall by electric shock during the underground cable works. The control for the above hazards are the installation of fall protection equipments, the installation of safety nets for falling objects and the installation of protection equipment of electric shock.

Objectives: This study aims to suggest definitions in accordance with the purpose of the permissible limit system in order to suggest criteria for substances with permissible exposure limits and expanded candidate substances under the Occupational Safety and Health Act in Korea. Methods: The occupational safety and health related acts from six countries were researched, including from Korea. To understand the health hazards of substances with permissible exposure limits, health hazards were prioritized for 211 substances through working environment measurement on the basis of KOSHA's preceding research. Results: To suggest criteria for substances with permissible exposure limits and expanded candidate substances, definitions were suggested in accordance with the purpose of the permissible limit system. Based on the health hazard priorities for the working environment, selection criteria were identified. Conclusions: Three suggestions for substances with permissible exposure limits were proposed including substances where occurred serious health hazards such as carcinogenicity, germ cell mutagenicity, and reproductive toxicity to workers.

Since the dehydration packages of offshore plant deal directly with oil & gas, there is a great risk of fire and explosion during operation. Therefore, this study performed risk assessment through HAZard & OPerability (HAZOP) for solid desiccant dehydration package that can remove water component of natural gas in offshore floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facilities below 0.1 ppmv. The risk matrix was determined by dividing the likelihood and the severity into five levels separately by asset, life, environment and reputation. The piping & instrumentation diagram (P&ID) of the dehydration package was divided into 9 nodes. Total 22 deviations were assessed in consideration of the adsorption and desorption conversion cycle. A risk assessment based on deviations revealed 14 major hazards. Three representative types of hazards were open/close failure of the control valve, control failure of the heater, and abnormal operation of the regeneration gas cooler. Finally, we proposed the installation of additional safety devices to improve safety against these major hazards, such as safety instrumented functions, alarms, etc.

한국의 Liquid Petroleum Gas 충전소에 있어서 안전관리자의 정전기에 대한 안전 의식을 설문 조사했다. 또한, 위험요소로 판단된 일반 작업복과 순면 작업복의 정전기에 의한 화재 폭발 위험성을 평가했다. 설문 조사에 의하면, 충전소에서는 정전기 예방 측면의 효율적인 교육 및 인식 부족으로 인해 무분별한 작업복을 착용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 현재 착용하고 있는 일반 작업복의 경우, 실험에 의한 대전 전하량이 동복 1.79$\mu$C 춘추복 1.44$\mu$C, 하복 1.02$\mu$C로 한국공업규격 (KS K-7807) 에서 정전기 재해 위험 가능성에 대해 언급한 0.60$\mu$C를 크게 상회하여 위험성이 존재했다. 반면. 순면 작업복의 경우는 대전량이 0.52$\mu$C에서 0.42$\mu$C의 범위로 안전한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 향후 시각적, 체험적 교육을 병행한 정전기 교육의 질적 향상이 요구되며, 정전기에 의한 재해를 방지하기 위해 착용하는 작업복에 대한 관련 기술 기준의 제정이 요구된다.

본 연구에서는 Steam Reforming수소 제조설비에 대한 안전성 평가를 수행하여 설비의 위험성을 체계적으로 검토하였다 안전성 평가 방법으로는 정성적 안전성 기법인 Hazard & Operability Analysis와 Failure Mode & Effect Analysis를 사용하였다. HAZOP을 통하여 수소 제조설비의 flow, pressure, temperature 등의 주요 parameter들에 대하여 의미 있는 guide word를 적용하여 비정상 상태(deviation)를 만들어 단계별로 공정상의 인간 실수나 잘못된 운전 등의 잠재 위험을 분석하였다. FMEA를 이용하여 설비 내 장치의 파손 및 기능 실패 등 주로 부품의 불량이나 고장 등에 대한 분석을 하여 그에 따른 영향 및 대처방안을 제시하였고, RPN값 계산을 통하여 상대적 위험순위를 결정하여 보았다.
