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.
