산업안전보건법 제48조에 의거 사업장의 유해위험시설을 보유하기 위해 신설, 증설, 변경 또는 이전시에 유해위험물질의 누출, 화재, 폭발 등으로 인하여 사업장내 근로자나 인근 주민들에게 피해를 줄 수 있는 사고를 사전에 예방하기 위하여 유해위험방지계획서나 공정안전보고서를 작성하여 노동부장관에게 제출토록 의무화가 되어있다. 각 사업장은 이러한 사전예방에 활용하기 위한 위험성 평가방법을 어떤 기법으로 어떻게 도입하여 적용시키고 있으며, 또 할 예정인가 사내에는 어떤 제도화가 되어 있는가 대책은 어떻게 반영되고 실시에 어떤 문제점이 있는가 등의 사실을 업종별로 파악하여 제조업종의 위험성 평가도입에 따른 문제점과 대책을 제시할 필요가 있다.

최근의 분진폭발은 플라스틱, 의약품, 목재, 곡물 저장고, 고체연료, 화학제품 제조공정 등을 포함하여 성형 및 가공 공정 등에서 화재폭발사고가 발생되고 있다. 폐목재를 재활용하여 PB(Particle board)를 생산하는 국내 제조사업장에서는 화재폭발 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있어 예방대책이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폐목재 제조공정의 사고예방과 목재분진 취급공정에 대한 안전대책 등을 제시하기 위하여 사고원인 물질인 폐목재 부유분진의 폭발특성실험을 실시하고 실험결과를 검토하였다. 또한 폐목재 분진의 화재폭발위험성을 상세히 평가하기 위하여 해당 물질의 자연발화점, 축열저장시험, 및 최소점화에너지 등의 화재폭발위험특성값을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 폐목재 시료의 비구형 입자형태를 가지는데 입도분석기의 측정 결과 평균 입경은 $15.96{\mu}m$로 조사되었다. 또한 목재 분진의 함수율은 3.88%이며 중금속함유량은 1.73%이다. 자연발화점 측정결과 $225.5^{\circ}C$로서 비교적 낮게 측정되었고 퇴적분진에 대한 화재의 위험성은 높게 나타났다. 반면에 축열저장시험 결과를 통하여 공정관리 온도 및 보관온도를 $150^{\circ}C$ 이하로 관리하면 축열에 의한 자기분해 위험성은 낮은 것으로 판단되었다. 그러므로 축열에 의한 화재폭발 등의 위험성은 낮은 것으로 사료 된다. 최대폭발압력($P_{max}$)은 8.7 bar이며 폭발하한농도 (LEL)는 $60g/m^3$으로 나타났다. 부유분진의 폭발특성실험 결과 분진폭발지수(Kst)는 폭발등급 St 1 (0$bar{\cdot}m/s$)으로 나타났으며 폭발에 의한 위험성이 약한 분진으로 판정되었다. 최소점화에너지(MIE)는 10mJ < MIE <30mJ의 범위로 측정되었으며, 계산에 의해 추정된 최소점화 에너지(Es) 값은 14 mJ로서 일반적인 발화감도(Normal ignition sensitive)로 분류되었다. 이는 실질적인 점화원만 제거하여도 분진폭발을 예방할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 분진 폭발사고를 예방을 위하여 MIE값이 공정운전온도 $100^{\circ}C$ 초과 시에 급격히 낮아질 수 있으므로 운전 온도 설정에 있어서 주의가 필요하다.

Through a press release dated July 17, 2018, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission recommended that the National Fire Agency develop preventive measures against fire in the "Indoor Archery Ground" and "Room Escape Café" etc., which were originally excluded from the category of "Publicly Used Establishments." This study developed the hierarchy of domains and indicators of measurement for fire risk assessment of the new business of publicly used establishments through the Delphi Method. It analyzed the goodness of fit scores (over 3.00) and secured an average score of 4.25. Using AHP analysis, the ratio of consistency for the domains of measurement of fire risk assessment was found to be 4.0%, which was lower than CR ≤ 0.1 (10%). The consistency of subsequent measurement indicators were distributed in the range of 0.1%~3.6%, and they were identified as being commonly consistent. The indicators of measurement appeared as follows in order of importance and priority: Type of Internal Passage of Establishment and Evacuation Capacity of Exit (0.316), Control of Ignition Source (0.141), Inherent Risk (0.106), Appropriateness and Adaptiveness of Fire Detection System (0.097), Control of Inflammables/Combustibles (0.084), Guides and Facilities helping Evacuation (0.075), Fire Resistant Structure and Finishing Materials (0.060), Compartmentalization and Emergency Exit (0.049), Risk of Fire Expansion (0.046), and Appropriateness and Adaptiveness of Fire Extinguishing Facilities (0.026). The findings of this study are expected to be expansively used as data for future research on the development of fire risk assessment indicators.

This study presents analysis of fire hazard of electrical heating pad. In order to analyze fire hazard fire experimental and flammability experiment is conducted. The fire experiment is conducted to simulate normal condition and abnormal condition such as breakdown of thermostat. Vertical burning test(UL 94) is conducted for the fire retardant experiment. Kinds of electric heating pad used for experiment are electric mat, fabric pad, vinyl pad. The results show that fire hazard is high in case of breakdown of thermostat with the rating voltage supply. And Material of electric heating pad has not fire retardant performance.

The purpose of this study is to present the most effective smoke exhaust mode by comparing the quantitatively evaluated risks according to the smoke exhaust mode when a train fire occurs in a subway platform. Therefore, applying the typical subway platform as a model, train fire scenarios are developed with the evacuation start time and location of the fire train for each exhaust mode. The fire accident rates (F) are calculated and the number of fatalities (N) was quantitatively estimated by fire analysis and evacuation analysis for each scenario. In addition, the F/N curve compared with the social risk assessment criteria and the following conclusions were obtained. In the event of a train fire at the subway station platform, the evacuation must start up within 600 s in maximum to ensure the evacuees' safety. To secure evacuation safety, it is advantageous to operate the HVAC system of the platform in the air-supply mode at station without TVF. Comparing the F/N curve for each exhaust mode with the social risk criteria, it turned out that the risk significantly exceeds the social risk criteria in case of no mechanical ventilation. As a result, this paper shows that the ventilation mode in which TVF are exhausted and HVAC system is operated in the pressurized mode are the most effective smoke exhaust mode for ensuring evacuation safety.

Biodiesel is manufactured from vegetable oils, etc. in reaction with methanol so that the product of biodiesel may be dangerous due to the methanol remained of it. The risks of methanol remained in biodiesel were studied by measuring flash points and dynamic viscosity to some samples of biodiesel by adding methanol to a certain percentage of. The results of flash points of biodiesel are decreased in accordance with increasing of methanol in biodiesel and also decreasing the dynamic viscosity. It was shown that the risks of explosion of biodiesel are significantly high due to lower flash points resulted from methanol remained in biodiesel fuel as a reactant or adding to biodiesel for reduction of viscosity.

Recently, the research to visualize and to reproduce evacuation situations such as terrorism, the disaster and fire indoor space has been come into the spotlight and designing a model for interior space and reliable analysis through safety evaluation of the life is required. Therefore, this paper aims to develop simulation model which is able to suggest evacuation route guidance and safety analysis by considering the major risk factor of fire in actual building. First of all, we designed 3D-based fire and evacuation model at a subway station building in Incheon and performed fire risk analysis through thermal parameters on the basis of interior materials supplied by Incheon Transit Corporation. In order to evaluate safety of a life, ASET (Available Safe Egress Time), which is the time for occupants to endure without damage, and RSET (Required Safe Egress Time) are calculated through evacuation simulation by Fire Dynamics Simulator. Finally, we can come to the conclusion that a more realistic safety assessment is carried out through indoor space model based on 3-dimension building information and simulation analysis applied by safety guideline for measurement of fire and evacuation risk.
