Abstract
A variety of general purpose polymer products such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PVC), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS) and polyurethane (PU) are widely produced and used in the industrial field. Many industrial accidents have occurred due to fire and explosion at the manufacturing site. In order to prevent such accidents, it is important to collect and analyze accident cases that occurred in the past to identify the characteristics of accidents and to use them to prevent the same kind of accidents or similar accidents. In this study, the accident distribution characteristics of general polymer manufacturing process were examined by using SPSS based on the database of the industrial accident statistics system operated by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency. These results can be used to prevent accidents in the general-purpose polymer product process and ensure the safety of the process.
