Dr. Satoshi TAMATE is a former director at center for Occupational Accident Investigation, National Institute of Occupational Safety, Japan (JNIOSH), and a research fellow for special appointment at present. He received PhD from Musashi Institute of Technology, MSc and BSc from Muroran Institute of Technology. He studied in the University of Tokyo and the University of Western Australia as a visiting researcher. Main research area is soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Soils collapses cause cave-in accidents during trench excavations and cutting slopes, leaving digging workers buried in collapsed soil even in shallow depths. A personal soil guard system was developed as practical safety measures to prevent labor accidents. This system has a simple structure to bear horizontal earth pressure. It is widely used at ground excavations. In addition, drill rigs and mobile cranes are heavy machinery used in construction sites. Sufficient bearing capacity is required in the supporting ground to keep the machinery horizontal. However, overturning accidents frequently occur because of ground penetration at the foundations of lower careers. Safety requirements on bearing capacity of supporting grounds are studied for tall super structures. He studies geotechnical safety measures for prevention of accidents at constructions.

Prof. Jaewook Jeong is an Associate Professor in the Department of Safety Engineering at Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SeoulTech) and a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) in Korea. He leads the S3PARC Lab (Safety, Smart, and Sustainability-driven Advanced Research in Construction) and teaches construction safety and management in his department. Prof. Jeong earned his Ph.D. from Yonsei University in Korea and has over 20 years of experience as a researcher and professional engineer in Korea, the United States, and Singapore. His research focuses on quantitative and probabilistic analysis of accident risks, design for safety, and improving safety policies in the field of the construction industry. He strives to scientifically and objectively simulate and predict various subjective uncertainties and risk factors inherent in the construction industry.
