Abstract

There is a lack of knowledge and information on the understanding and application of the Process Safety Management (PSM) system, recognized as a major cause of industrial accidents in small-and medium-sized workplaces. Hence, it is necessary to prepare a protocol to secure the practical and continuous levels of implementation for PSM and eliminate human errors through tracking management. However, insufficient research has been conducted on this. Therefore, this study investigated and analyzed the various violations in the administrative measures, based on the regulations announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, in approximately 200 small-and medium-sized PSM workplaces with fewer than 300 employees across in korea. This study intended to contribute to the prevention of major industrial accidents by developing a facility maintenance web program that removed human errors in small-and medium-sized workplaces. The major results are summarized as follows. First, It accessed the web via a QR code on a smart device to check the equipment's specification search function, cause of failure, and photos for the convenience of accessing the program, which made it possible to make requests for the it inspection and maintenance in real time. Second, it linked the identification of the targets to be changed, risk assessment, worker training, and pre-operation inspection with the program, which allowed the administrator to track all the procedures from start to finish. Third, it made it possible to predict the life of the equipment and verify its reliability based on the data accumulated through the registration of the pictures for improvements, repairs, time required, cost, etc. after the work was completed. It is suggested that these research results will be helpful in the practical and systematic operation of small-and medium-sized PSM workplaces. In addition, it can be utilized in a useful manner for the development and dissemination of a facility maintenance web program when establishing future smart factories in small-and medium-sized PSM workplaces under the direction of the government.

중·소규모 사업장에서 중대산업사고가 발생되고 있는 원인 중 하나는 공정안전관리(PSM) 체계를 이해하고 적용하는데 관련 지식 및 정보 부족이다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 PSM에 대한 실질적이며 지속적인 이행 수준을 확보하고 추적관리를 통해 인적오류를 제거할 수 있는 프로토콜이 뒷받침되어야 하나 그동안 이에 대한 연구가 미흡하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고용노동부 고시의 규정과 전국 300인 미만 중·소규모 PSM 사업장 200여 개사를 대상으로 행정처분 위반 사례를 조사·분석하였다. 이를 기반으로 설비유지관리 웹프로그램을 개발하여 중·소규모 사업장의 인적오류 제거를 통한 중대산업사고예방에 기여하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 프로그램 접근 편의성을 위해 스마트 기기에서 QR코드를 통해 웹에 접속하여 설비의 제원 검색 기능, 고장 사유, 사진을 확인함으로써 실시간 점검, 정비요청을 할 수 있게 하였다. 둘째, 변경 대상 파악, 위험성 평가, 작업자 교육, 가동 전 점검을 프로그램과 연계하여 작업 시작 전부터 종료까지 모든 절차를 관리자가 추적관리 가능하도록 하였다. 셋째, 작업 완료 후 개선된 사진과 함께 수리, 시간, 비용 등을 등록하여 축적된 자료를 기반으로 설비의 수명 예측과 신뢰성을 검증하게 하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 중·소규모 PSM 사업장에게 실질적이고 체계적인 운영에 도움이 될 수 있으며 향후 정부 주도로 중·소규모 PSM 사업장을 대상으로 스마트팩토리 구축 시 설비유지관리 웹프로그램을 개발하여 보급하는데 유용하게 활용되리라 판단된다.
