In this thesis, the domestic and foreign legislative background and legislative process of the Serious Accident Punishment Act were reviewed, and the Serious Accident Punishment Act in Korea was reviewed. In 2022, more safety accidents occurred in the construction industry than in other fields, and in particular, the most deaths occurred in the 'fall' type. In April 2023, regarding two criminal first-instance trial cases, the courts all sentenced guilty, and in one case, the representative of the company(CEO) was sentenced to imprisonment and was arrested. In response, the management side expresses the opinion that the punishment is excessive and there is a concern that corporate management will shrink, while the workers side(Union) argues that the responsibility of the business operator or manager should be strengthened by heavier punishment. As a countermeasure to overcome rationally, we present a plan in terms of legislation and resolution process. In other words, we present a review of the amendment to the Serious Accident Punishment Act and the Court Organization Act. In addition, guidelines for the a safety and health system must be implemented, and if an accident occurs, it must be dealt with reasonably. As a result, safety accidents in the construction industry should drastically decrease and safety culture should be properly established.

지하철 화재사고 경우 정확한 화재 유형 파악과 그에 따른 적절한 초기대응은 사고피해를 최소화하기 위한 중요한 사항이다. 그러나 지하철 화재사고 발생 시 기관사 또는 비상대응직원이 직접 목격하지 않으면 화재 유형을 즉시 파악하기란 불가능하다. 본 연구에서는 화재사고로 나타날 수 있는 오감(五感) 유형을 분석하여 오감 정보를 통해 신속한 화재사고 정보를 전달할 수 있도록 오감 유형을 제안하였다. 또한, 화재 시나리오에 따른 비상대응을 Activity-Action Diagram(AAD)로 정의하여 비상대응을 시스템화 하기 위한 기반을 제시하였다.

현재 여러 가지 목적으로 사용되고 있는 독성가스는 누출사고 발생시 확산되는 특성이 있어 피해 범위가 매우 넓고, 인체에 치명적이라는 특징을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 위험성이 높은 독성가스 이용시설은 누출사고에 대비한 사고 대응 시스템을 구축하여 비상상황 발생시 즉각 대응이 가능하도록 하여야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 FTA기법을 이용한 사고 시나리오 선정 및 빈도 분석과 DNV사의 PHAST(Ver 6.2)를 이용하여 독성가스 누출에 의한 확산 사고영향 분석을 실시하였다. 그리고, 정량적 위험성 평가 결과들을 이용하여 독성가스시설의 비상대응시스템을 구축하였다.

Purpose: In this study, we proposed a plan to establish and implement a safety and health management system by utilizing corporate resources so that manufacturing companies can effectively respond to the Serious Accident Punishment Act. Methods: We identified critical factors and response strategies necessary for manufacturing companies to respond to the Severe Accident Punishment Act effectively and surveyed employees working at the company regarding their importance and performance. Results: In this study, we presented a method of strategically constructing the response strategies (20) shown in previous studies by matching them with the company's resources (leadership, organization, budget, education, and awareness). In particular, leadership refers to the ability of managers who can prevent serious accidents by carrying out safety and health security obligations to avoid safety and health hazards or risks to employees in the business or workplace that is controlled, operated, and managed. Conclusion: Based on the manager's firm leadership, the system's purpose and direction must be accurately set and sufficiently communicated to members. In addition, for companies to identify and improve risk factors on their own, a Process approach must be established to improve execution by referring to legal standards together with field managers and supervisors.

Resilience is defined as the intrinsic ability of a system to adjust its functioning prior to, during, or following changes and disturbances, so that it can sustain required operations or functions with the related systems under both expected and unexpected conditions. Resilience engineering is a relatively new paradigm for safety management that focuses on how to cope with complexity under pressure or disturbance to achieve successful functioning. This study aims to develop a quantitative resilience model for severe accident response organizations of nuclear power plants using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. First, we investigated severe accident response organizations based on a radiation emergency plan in the Korean case and developed a qualitative resilience model for the organizations with resilience-influencing factors, which have been identified in the author's previous studies. Then, a quantitative model for entire severe accident response organizations was developed by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method with a tool for System Dynamics. For applying the AHP method, several experts who are working on implementing, regulating or researching the severe accident response participated in collecting their expertise on the relative importance between all the possible relations in the model. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was carried out to discuss which factors have the most influenceable on resilience.

Objectives: This study aimed to provide temporal Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGL) for a hazardous substance as a pilot study. Methods: As one of the substances designated by the Korea Ministry of Environment as requiring preparations for potential accidents, formaldehyde was selected to estimate the AEGLs. The calculation was based on Haber's formula (Cn×t=k) using valid toxicity data (for humans/animals). A total of 96 points of AEGL levels were provided using an interval of five minutes over eight hours. Results: The AEGL-1 and 2 values were constant for the entire exposure duration at 0.9 ppm and 14 ppm, respectively. The values were obtained from clinical/animal tests, and the adaptation effect after a given exposure duration was also considered. AEGL-3 was based on animal toxicity data, and it was estimated from 127 ppm for the initial five minutes to 35 ppm for eight hours. Conclusions: More specific AEGL levels for formaldehyde could be obtained in this study using toxicity data with Haber's formula. Based on this methodology, it would be also possible to estimate AEGL levels that can be used at the scene of a chemical accident for other substances requiring preparation for potential accidents.

In many cases, the result of a road traffic accident can be described with more than one response variables. Nonetheless, most of the existing road accident data analysis deal with only one response variable and try to explain why it occurs. In this paper, we train association rules for a set of more than two response variables conditional on personal, environmental and vehicular/behavioral aspects of accident. Association rules are derived at 8% support and 70% confidence from the 1996 data of three police stations in Korea. We expect that these rules can contribute to effective safety practice in Korea.

For the proper decision making and responsibility enhancement for an unexpected accident in large-scale facilities, it is important to train operators or first responders to minimize potential human errors and consequences resulted from them. Simulation technologies, including human-computer interaction and virtual reality, enables personnel to participate in simulated hazardous situations with a safe, interactive, repetitive way to perform these training activities. For the development of accident response training simulator, it is necessary to define components comprising the simulator and to integrate them for the given training purpose. In this paper, we analyze requirements of the training simulator, derive key components, and design the training simulator. Based on the design, we developed a prototype training simulator and verified the simulator through experiments.

화학재난 발생시 현장대응 요원들은 사건 원인물질의 성상과 잔류오염 농도를 신속 정확하게 파악해야 한다. 또한 화학재난 현장에서의 적절한 대응절차 진행을 위해서는 화학물질의 성상과 오염농도 확인은 필수적이다. 이를 위해 현장에서 사용하는 각 장비의 특징을 알아보고자 한다. 현장대응장비는 모든 화학물질을 확인할 수 없으며, 각 장비별로 물질탐지에 제한적이다. 장비별 물질탐지 범위와 상호보완성을 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 현장 활용장비인 간이탐지 킷과 검지관식 탐지장비, 전자식 탐지장비의 신속한 현장 활용을 위한 대응절차를 마련하여 현장대응에 도움을 주고자 한다.
