Abstract

Workplaces handling hazardous chemicals are scattered, because of old-aging facilities are have been operating for more than 20 years, there is still has the risk of an accident. Advanced countries including the UN and strengthen regulation of chemicals, but the frequent leak accidents have become a big issue socially. In the case of subsequent domestic accidental chemical accident, the government and related departments for the overall prevention, preparedness, response system has been checked and improved. In this study, improvements of the related system and the plan of safety management for on the prevention of accidents and the initial response were suggested throughout the analysis of problems on the actual condition of safety management and such as standard of the related systems for handling, management for occurring the main cause of the leak and chemical accidents from hazardous chemicals handling in the workplace.

유해화학물질 취급작업장은 전국적으로 산재되어 있고, 가동된 지 20년 이상 경과된 시설의 노후화로 사고의 위험이 상존하고 있다. UN을 비롯 선진국의 화학물질 규제는 강화되고 있지만, 누출사고는 빈번하게 발생되어 사회적 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 최근 국내의 경우 잇따른 누출사고로 정부와 관련부처는 화학사고에 대한 전반적인 예방, 대비, 대응체계를 점검 및 개선하고 있다. 본 연구는 유해화학물질 취급작업장에서 발생되는 누출 및 화학사고의 주요 원인에 대한 안전관리 실태와 관련제도의 기준 등 취급, 관리상의 문제점을 분석하여 사고예방과 초기 대응을 위한 제도 및 안전관리 개선방안을 제시하였다.
