해양경찰 함정 내 물리적 근무환경 개선에 관한 연구 -­A 해양경찰서 함정을 중심으로­-

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve the problems and suggest countermeasures by measuring physical hazards in the environment to maintain the performance of Korea Coast Guard Officers working on vessels and prevent health deterioration. To this end, the physical hazards of six vessels (two large, two medium and two small) were measured during October-November, 2019. As a result, first, measures need to be taken to reduce PM-10 & PM-2.5. In particular, PM-2.5 is affected by the size and structure of the vessel, which requires expansion of air purifier supply and improvement of the internal air circulation system. Second, it is necessary to prepare countermeasures against noise and vibration in all vessels. In order to prevent the increase of the risk of various diseases due to noise and vibration, the deterioration of sleep quality, and the occurrence of chronic fatigue, the design of low noise, mandatory wearing of earplugs, and the operation of preventive exercise programs are proposed. Third, it is necessary to identify the cause of the fact that the Total Airborne Bacteria and Total Volatile Organic Compound levels are not related to the vessel size. This study is limited in that it is difficult to generalize the results of the study in that it is measured only for some vessels in a specific area. It also has limitations in that it could not control other variables due to the failure to conduct research at the same time and environment. However, this study confirmed that it is necessary to secure longitudinal data that can be used as a basis for the systematic and rational improvement of the vessel's indoor environment. Also, it is worth the research in that it has identified the need for a complex approach to personal health and relationships with working conditions.
