Abstract

Recently, fire and explosion accidents caused by sparks scattered during welding and melting work in the work place where flammables are present. The causes of such fire accidents are mostly non-compliance with basic safety rules such as the removal of hazardous goods and the prevention of sparks scattering. It is strongly recommended to revise Industrial Safety and Health Act. This study analyzes the fire and explosion accidents in the work of firearms, such as welding and melting work, and analyzes the causes from a system perspective, and proposes an improvement plan for the system such as expanding the number of fire monitors, pre-approval of fire risk work, and intensifying fire prevention safety education.

최근 가연물이 있는 장소에서 용접·용단 작업 중 불꽃 비산 등으로 인한 화재·폭발사고가 빈발하고 있으며, 이러한 화재사고의 원인은 위험물 제거, 불꽃 비산방지 조치 등 기본적인 안전수칙 미준수가 대부분으로 산업안전보건법의 제도적인 보완이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 용접·용단 작업 등 화기작업에서의 화재·폭발 사고를 시스템적 관점에서 분석하고 그 결과를 반영하여 화재감시자 배치 확대, 화재위험작업의 사전승인, 화재예방 안전교육 강화 등 제도개선방안을 제안하였다.
