초록

산업 및 과학기술의 고도화로 인해 신규 화학물질 수와 사용량은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며 이에 따른 화학물질 안전관리의 중요성이 사회적으로 부각됨에 따라 국민적 요구가 높아지고 있다. 정부적인 차원에서 화학물질의 안전관리에 대해 부처별로 역할을 구분하여 관리하고 있으나 시설 노후화 및 취급 부주의 등의 문제로 매년 화학물질로 인한 사고가 빈번하게 발생되고 있는 실정이다. 국내에서 발생한 화학물질 관련 사고사례를 바탕으로 사고 유형을 분석한 결과, 누출·폭발·화재·기타 등의 순으로 사고가 발생하고 있으며 사고의 원인은 시설결함, 안전관리 미준수로 순으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 화학물질 중 불산을 취급하고 있는 사업장을 대상으로 HAZOP을 통해 취급공정에 대한 유해위험요인을 파악하여 Bow-Tie를 활용한 위험성평가를 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 동종·유사 사업장의 화학사고 예방을 위한 안전관리 계획을 개선할 수 있을 것이며 이를 통해 화학사고를 사전에 예방할 수 있는 화학안전관리 체계의 선진화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

With continuous advancements in industry, science, and technology, there is a steady increase in the number and utilization of new chemicals. The growing societal emphasis on chemical safety management is paralleled by an increasing public demand for robust safety measures. While various ministries at the government level oversee the safety management of chemical substances, the occurrence of accidents related to chemical substances remains frequent each year due to problems such as aging facilities and careless handling. Upon analyzing domestic chemical accident cases, incidents occurred predominantly in the sequence of leakage, explosion, fire, and others. The main causes of these accidents were examined, revealing facility defects and non-compliance with safety management as the primary contributing factors. In this study, Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) was employed to identify hazardous risk factors associated with the handling of hydrofluoric acid in workplaces, and a risk assessment was performed using Bow-Tie method. Based on the results of this study, it is expected to enhance safety management plans aimed at preventing chemical accidents in workplaces dealing with similar facilities. Ultimately, these insights contribute to the development of an advanced chemical safety management system, capable of proactively preventing potential chemical accidents.
