Abstract

Mixed acid is very reactive and highly corrosive. it has been causing many accidents in a electronic industry, a steel industry, and a chemical industry. Therefore, it is required that the high safety level for the acid storage facilities. In this study, we investigated the accident causes for resent leak accidents with Root Cause Analysis (RCA). The root causes analysed by RCA were categorized as nine divisions by the their characteristics. Furthermore, each nine divisions causes was applied to the PDCA model which are using at OHSAS 18001. It is suggested that the nine division with the root causes can be the essential items for the development of the safety management manual. It is helpful to the safety improvement of the acid storage facility.
