Abstract
Many sorts of fatal accidents like explosion or fire caused by gas leakage have become a social issue with the increasing use of harmful chemicals in laboratories in universities and enterprise-affiliated research institutes in Korea. Importance of safety management has been emphasized and it made Act on the Establishment of Safe Laboratory Environment enacted not only to protect lives and bodies of people working in laboratories in universities and enterprise-affiliated research institutes but also to make pleasant experimental atmosphere. Safety management system has been built and periodical checkups and safety diagnosis have been implementing in universities and enterprise-affiliated research institutes to prevent such accidents. However, in spite of those actions, continuous accidents make analysis of root cause essential. This study will show results of analysis on incidents and accidents occurred in laboratories in universities and enterprise-affiliated research institutes using Root Cause Analysis Method and propose the direction of safety management.
