Abstract

This study analyzed the recent serious disaster cases of chemical extinguishing agent poisoning and suffocation investigated by KOSHA and proposed the safe use of chemical substances, including the chemical extinguishing agent. An analysis of the statistical figures an increase in the number and variations of chemical poisoning and suffocation cases in industry between 2011~2016 increased. Unlike other physical accidents, chemical accidents are very high in severity and it is difficult to identify the chemical hazard and risk. To prevent chemical disasters, it is essential to develop and use an easy chemical risk assessment tool. For the safe use of chemical substances, in which it is difficult to carry out hazard identification and risk assessments, this thesis presents the useful chemical recognition and risk assessment tools, CHEM-i and CHARM developed by KOSHA.

본 연구는 산업재해예방기관인 안전보건공단(KOSHA)에서 실시한 소화약제 중독 질식 재해사례분석을 통해 소화 약제를 포함한 화학물질의 안전한 취급방안을 제안하기 위함이다. 산업재해통계에 따르면 2011~2016년 산업현장에서 발생한 화학물질 중독 질식재해는 해마다 증가 및 다 변화 양상을 보여주고 있다. 일반 사고성재해와 달리 화학물질 재해는 재해강도가 크고 화학물질 위험성 정보 확인이 어려운 특징이 있다. 화학물질 재해의 예방을 위해서는 화학물질 취급 전 위험성을 평가하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 논문은 유해위험성인지와 위험성평가가 어려운 화학물질의 안전한 사용을 위해 안전보건공단에서 개발한 화학물질 필수정보 확인 프로세스(CHEM-i)와 화학물질위험성평가기법(CHARM)의 활용방안을 제시하고자 한다.
