Objective: The aim of this study is to understand the industrial accident characteristics related to machine safeguarding and to present basic guidelines applying suitable machine safeguarding. Background: Inadequate machine safeguarding can often lead to fatal injuries and deaths. Injury statistics from Korea occupational safety and health agency indicates that there are approximately eleven percent of inadequate machine safeguarding during 2014. Furthermore, the incidence rates in 2014 shows larger incidence rates than 2012. Therefore, the safeguarding should be considered very carefully in terms of industrial types, accident patterns and causing factors. Method: This study analyzed the data of industrial injuries and deaths of 8,624 workers that have been approved as on-duty industrial accidents in 2014. The accident characteristics have been examined by each industrial type, accident pattern and causing factor which has been categorized by safeguarding equipped or not. Results: The characteristics of industrial accidents by types of industry, accident pattern, causing factors showed that there were differences in terms of accident rates between safeguarding equipped and not-equipped. Moreover, there were differences in terms of accident rates with safeguarding equipped between industrial accidents in 2012 and 2014. Conclusion: Machine safeguarding is the first thing to eliminate the hazards from the workplace that can lead the greatest impact on severity of harm. For this purpose, safety climate should be considered that safety is not only responsible for the safety supervisor but also responsible for all workers, especially in construction and manufacturing industries. Application: The results of this study can be used as baseline data to establish the systematic preventative guidelines and policies for machine safeguarding in occupational safety and health.

Objective: The aim of this study is to understand the industrial accident characteristics related to personal protective equipment (PPE) and to present basic guidelines that can apply to design the PPE and establish safety policy. Background: Although the use of PPE can reduce industrial accidents more than 87% based on KOSHA"s industry accident report, there are still high incidence rates (88.9%) of occupational accidents not wearing appropriate PPEs. Furthermore, the incidence rates in 2014 showed larger incidence rates than in 2012 when workers worn PPEs. Therefore, the PPE should be considered carefully in terms of industrial types, accident patterns and causing factors. Method: This study analyzed the data about industrial injuries and deaths of 8,624 workers that have been approved as on-duty industrial accidents in 2014. The characteristics of industrial accidents have been examined by each industrial type, accident patterns and causing factors which have been categorized by PPE worn or not. Results: The characteristics of industrial accidents by types of industry, accident patterns and causing factors showed that there were differences in terms of accident rate between PPE worn and not-worn. The results also showed that there were higher incident rates in construction and manufacturing industries due to falls and impacts as accident patterns. Moreover, there were differences in terms accident rate of PPE worn between 2012 and 2014. Conclusion: PPE is a critical component in the safe workplace of most industry. Since PPE should be the last components to consider in protecting employees from hazards, the industry should first use appropriate engineering and administrative control available to control potential hazards. After applying all these controls, the PPE with ergonomic design to fit and comfort should be considered. Moreover, the safety climate, education and policy for appropriate use of PPEs should be considered in the small sized construction and manufacturing industries. Application: The results of this study can be used as baseline data to establish the PPE guidelines for effectiveness with comfort and policies to supply appropriate PPEs for each industry.
