Objectives: We investigated the status of accidents and deaths caused by chemical leakage and skin contact in Korea. The purpose of this study was to produce and provide technical reference data for the efficient management of accidents and the rational management of accidental chemicals. Methods: Accidents and deaths caused by chemical leakage and skin contact in industry were investigated. Based on 68 accident reports related to chemical leakage and skin contact, the causes of accidental deaths were analyzed. In addition, we investigated the chemical substances and articles that caused these accidents and deaths. Based on the results of the investigation, the causes of accidents caused by chemical leakage and skin contact were identified and practical management measures for the chemicals were suggested. Results and Conclusions: In 2018, 372 people suffered from chemical leaks and skin contact, up by 123 (about 49.4%) from the previous year. The number of accident deaths was 14, an increase of five (about 55.6%) from the previous year. In the last three years (2016-2018), 91 chemical substances and article groups were involved in accidents caused by chemical leakage and skin contact. There were 16 chemical substance and article groups involved in accidental deaths. There were ten cases of accidents involving two or more casualties due to chemical leakage and skin contact, and 23 deaths occurred. Most of these accidental deaths were caused by subcontractor workers outsourcing risks. Therefore, there is an apparent need to strengthen the responsibility for safety and health among subcontractors.

The objectives of this study were (1) an investigation of the current status of the hazardous substances, (2) a comparative analysis of classification system of hazardous substances between Korea and other countries, (3) a development of the new classification system in Korea, finally a review of prerequisites for effective enforcement of the new system. The results are summarized as follows : 1) The backbone of classification system of hazardous substances in Korea is based on Japanese classification system and EC(European Committee) guideline of hazardous substance. There are many problems in managing and handling of hazardous substances due to discordant of Japanese and EC system. It is desirable to revise the classification system to be harmonized with international guideline for example, guideline of IFCS(The Inter-governmental Forum on Chemical Safety) and EC guideline. 2) There are several problems in definitions of corrosive, sensitizing and irritation in MSDS Code of Ministry of Labour. It is desirable to reform those definitions. 3) Among the hazardous substances under the current system, there are several substances such as, beta-propiolactone, methyl bromide, ethyleneimine, etc that are not used and produced in Korea. It is desirable to exclude the substances from the list of controlled substances. 4) The section 39, about 'substance that designated to attach warning label' in Korea Occupational Safety and Health Act(OSHAct) should be eliminated, because above section is unnecessary under the MSDS system. 5) The researchers recommend to establish a new list of hazardous substance which are controlled by OSHAct. It is desirable that the new list is consist of two types. The first type is 'a list of the specially controlled substances' and the other is 'the generally controlled substances'. 6) It is recommended that the specially controlled substances should include hazardous substances that are highly toxic and widely used in Korea. And the generally controlled substances should include hazardous substances that can be analysed by instrument and carry threshold. limit values(TLV's).

본 연구는 산업재해예방기관인 안전보건공단(KOSHA)에서 실시한 소화약제 중독 질식 재해사례분석을 통해 소화 약제를 포함한 화학물질의 안전한 취급방안을 제안하기 위함이다. 산업재해통계에 따르면 2011~2016년 산업현장에서 발생한 화학물질 중독 질식재해는 해마다 증가 및 다 변화 양상을 보여주고 있다. 일반 사고성재해와 달리 화학물질 재해는 재해강도가 크고 화학물질 위험성 정보 확인이 어려운 특징이 있다. 화학물질 재해의 예방을 위해서는 화학물질 취급 전 위험성을 평가하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 논문은 유해위험성인지와 위험성평가가 어려운 화학물질의 안전한 사용을 위해 안전보건공단에서 개발한 화학물질 필수정보 확인 프로세스(CHEM-i)와 화학물질위험성평가기법(CHARM)의 활용방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Photo-mutagenic compounds have been known to alter skin cancer rates by acting as initiators or by affecting subsequent steps in carcinogenesis. The objectives of this study are to investigate the utility of photo-chromosomal aberration (photo-CA) assay for detecting photo-clastogens, and to evaluate its ability to predict rodent photocarcinogenicity. Photo-CA assay was performed with five test substances that demonstrated positive results in photo-carcinogenicity tests: 8-Methoxypsoralen (photoactive substance that forms DNA adducts in the presence of ultraviolet A irradiation), chlorpromazine (an aliphatic phenothiazine an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent), lomefloxacin (an antibiotic in a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones), anthracene (a tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon a basic substance for production of anthraquinone, dyes, pigments, insecticides, wood preservatives and coating materials) and Retinoic acid (a retinoid compound closely related to vitamin A). For the best discrimination between the test substance-mediated genotoxicity and the undesirable genotoxicity caused by direct DNA absorption, a UV dose-response of the cells in the absence of the test substances was firstly analyzed. All 5 test substances showed a positive outcome in photo-CA assay, indicating that the photo-CA test is very sensitive to the photo-genotoxic effect of UV irradiation. With this limited data-set, an investigation into the predictive value of this photo-CA test for determining the photo-carcinogenicity showed that photo-CA assay has the high ability of a test to predict carcinogenicity. Therefore, the photo-CA test using mammalian cells seems to be a sensitive method to evaluate the photo-carcinogenic potential of new compounds.

본 논문은 업체들의 자발적인 참여를 통해 이루어지고 있는 우리나라의 대표적인 화학 유해물질 배출저감 프로그램인 30/50프로그램의 성과를 사업체별, 물질별, 연도별 미시적 패널자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 2004년부터 2010년까지 7년간의 배출량 추이를 실증 분석한 결과에 따르면, 자발적 프로그램임에도 불구하고 프로그램에 참여한 업체들의 화학 물질 배출량이 비자발적 협약 업체에 비해 연간 2.7톤에서 1.2톤 적은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 자발적 프로그램의 배출량 저감 효과는 협약물질에서 강하게 나타났을 뿐만 아니라 그 정도는 다소 약했지만 비협약물질에서도 나타났다. 이는 협약업체들이 전반적으로 화학유해물질을 저감하기 위한 기술을 도입한 결과라고 볼 수 있다.
