화학공장의 각종 공정설비의 규모가 커지고 복잡화됨은 물론 사용되는 화학물질의 다양화 및 사용량의 증대로 화재·폭발의 위험성이 잠재하고 있다. 이러한 중대 산업사고를 예방하기 위해 세계 각 국에서는 화재폭발에 관한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본고에서는 최근 일본에서 화재폭발에 관한 연구동향을 일본 소방청 소방연구소와 산업안전연구소의 연구과제를 중심으로 소개하고자 한다.(중략)

현재 국내에는 소방대상물들의 그 수가 많아, 제도적인 관리 감독하기에 어려워 이를 통합관리 하기 위한 U-지역 소방모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 건물화재안전 상태지수, 즉 건물화재 대응능력지수와 소방대 화재대응능력지수의 곱으로 산정되는 값을 이용하여 지역 내 소방대상물들을 모니터링 함으로써 소방대상물들의 관리와 대응이 보다 효율적인 통합관리 체계가 이룰 수 있다.

The OECD defines regulatory reform as both better regulation and deregulation, and emphasizes that governments must continue to regulate in areas such as environmental quality and safety. In contrast, Korean regulatory reform in fire services in the 1990s shows quite a strange trend, having been carried out only to the direction of softening and abolishing regulations. In the UK, fire prevention legislation has been strengthened since the enactment of the Fire Precautions Act 1971, and the Building Regulations 1991, which apply to all new buildings including a private house, require that there should be at least one smoke alarm on each floor. This research shows that the tightening of fire prevention legislation in the UK has promoted fire safety, which is very instructive for Korean fire services. In order for Korean fire services to protect citizens'lives and property from fires, one of basic directions of regulatory reform, to improve the quality of regulations relating to safety, health and the environment, should be observed strictly. Moreover, the flexibility of the basic direction of regulatory reform should be ensured so that the regulations concerning safety could be even increased under the overall reform strategy of reducing all regulations.

Fire accidents in foreign countries, like the accident in a thermal power plant in Beijing, the accidents in domestic power plants, including Boryeong Power Plant in 2012 and Taean Power Plant in 2016, a disaster in a nuclear power plant in Fukushima in 2011 or the large-scale power failure in California in 2001 are safety accidents related to electric power, which caused losses in the people's stable lives and the countries. Electricity has an absolute impact on the people's life and the economy, so we can easily expect the serious situation affecting economic growth as well as direct damage to the protection of the people's lives and the losses of properties, if there are fire or explosion accidents or radioactive leak because of negligence in safety management, or problems because of natural disasters like an earthquake in power plants that generate electricity. In this study, it was drawn the improvement of the organizations exclusively in charge of firefighting, the operation of a program for the improvement of professional competency, the development of a customized firefighting management system for plants for systematic firefighting safety management and the improvement of the earthquake-proof correspondence system, which has recently become an issue, as measures for improvements through a survey of the actual conditions concerning the necessity of the construction of a firefighting safety management system for power plants with five power generation companies, including Korea Southern Power Co., Ltd., and the persons in charge of firefighting safety Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd.

In the present study, a group of subjects consisting of "Fire Professional Engineers" was selected to examine the effects of life safety awareness and safety behaviors of the subjects on life safety through an analyses of the descriptive statistics, factors, reliability, and correlation; simple regression and three-stage regression analyses on mediation were also carried out based on the hypotheses developed. The results showed that the degree of safety behavior increased by 72.1% in accordance with the increased safety awareness of fire professional engineers; the life safety was also increased by 61.5% and 64.5% by the increases in safety awareness and safety behavior of fire professional engineers, respectively. In addition, the safety behaviors demonstrated a partial mediatory effect in the relationship between safety awareness and life safety. All hypotheses (H1, H2, H3, H4), established for the present study, were accepted based on statistical verifications that justified an amendment of the Acts pertinent to firefighting service focusing on life safety; the data are expected to be exploited to reflect significance of life safety.

With a purpose to set up an efficient national security system for both at war-time and peace-time, President Lee's government transferred the emergency management function from the Office of Prime Minister to Ministry of Public Administration and Security (MOPAS). As a result national emergency management system has been changed into diversified management system ; the function of comprehensive disaster control, emergency preparation to MOPAS, fire, civil defense and disaster management to NEMA and anti-terrorism to NIS, which produce another inefficiency. For this reason, this research presents desirable improvement alternatives through scrutinizing current governmental function and structure.

The purpose of this study is to examine the awareness survey on the life and laboratory safety of the college students. For the research, data was collected from 442 students of health, engineering, fire fighting and food & cook department. Research tools were used SPSS win 19.0, the mean and standard deviation, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used. Comparing the life safety consciousness with laboratory safety consciousness, showed life safety awareness and safety laboratory has recognized the similarities (Pearson's correlation coefficient ${\chi}^2=296.456$, p < 0.001). Results of awareness survey to safety management, the safety awareness are difference with the type of respondents major subjects. This order was Food & Cook > Fire fighting > Health > Engineering department.

The basic law about disaster and safety management and the fire fighting law state that the central government and the local governments are responsible for protecting the life and assets of the people. The well-fare developed nations have developed and are implementing diverse safety programs with making safe cities as their prime objective. Our nation has not yet practiced such actions. However, it is in demand to evaluate what safety policies are practiced by local governments for the people and to inform the people of those. Therefore, this research developed and suggests the assessment criteria and the assessment method to evaluate the safety level of a city by assessing the safety of buildings and facilities.
