산업 및 과학기술의 고도화로 인해 신규 화학물질 수와 사용량은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며 이에 따른 화학물질 안전관리의 중요성이 사회적으로 부각됨에 따라 국민적 요구가 높아지고 있다. 정부적인 차원에서 화학물질의 안전관리에 대해 부처별로 역할을 구분하여 관리하고 있으나 시설 노후화 및 취급 부주의 등의 문제로 매년 화학물질로 인한 사고가 빈번하게 발생되고 있는 실정이다. 국내에서 발생한 화학물질 관련 사고사례를 바탕으로 사고 유형을 분석한 결과, 누출·폭발·화재·기타 등의 순으로 사고가 발생하고 있으며 사고의 원인은 시설결함, 안전관리 미준수로 순으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 화학물질 중 불산을 취급하고 있는 사업장을 대상으로 HAZOP을 통해 취급공정에 대한 유해위험요인을 파악하여 Bow-Tie를 활용한 위험성평가를 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 동종·유사 사업장의 화학사고 예방을 위한 안전관리 계획을 개선할 수 있을 것이며 이를 통해 화학사고를 사전에 예방할 수 있는 화학안전관리 체계의 선진화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In many cases, tasks are unpredictable and therefore not doable by special-purpose or pro-programble robots. So master/slave type robot hands which combine human perceptions with conventional robot hands are required as robot end effector. These also can be applied to hazardous worksites such as outer space, deep sea and nuclear power plant. In this study, master/slave type robot fingers with 3 joints each are designed and constructed. To control force accurately, TDT(tension difference type) torque sensors are constructed and attached toeachjoints of slave finger and new force reflecting control algorithm is suggested. Finally, experimental results show that the new control algorithm can be successfully applied.

Diesel engines which emit a lot of PM and NOx have been known as a main air polluter. Especially, diesel particulate matters (OPM) including black smoke are hazardous air pollutants to human health and environment. The nations retaining advanced engine technologies have reinforced emission regulations. To meet these regulations diesel engine manufacturers have developed low-emission diesel engines, aftertreatment equipments, alternative fuel technologies and so on. In this study, particle number concentrations characteristics according to particle size and engine driving conditions were analyzed when these low-emission technologies were applied. There was a tendency of increasing particle number concentrations from heavy-duty diesel engines with increasing engine rpm and load rate. In the cases of COPF (Catalytic Diesel Particulate Filter), CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) engine and ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) more than 99% of particle number concentration were removed.

There has been a growing concern and subsequent interest surrounding numerous reproductive toxic agents found in various working and non-working environments. Meanwhile, there have been many efforts in medical fields such as toxicology and epidemiology applying experimental studies to elucidate reproductive toxic agents' characterization and health effects. However, there remains insufficient research data and inadequate evidence in humans. Adverse reproductive outcomes vary from transient, moderate health effects to severely detrimental consequences, such as permanent infertility or childhood cancer of one's offspring. Furthermore, upon exposure to toxic agents, the latent period before reproductive health effects are observed is relatively short compared to other occupational diseases (e.g., occupational cancer); instant action is required once exposure to reproductive toxic agents is detected. Therefore, it is very important for workers and healthcare professionals to know about the reproductive toxic agents they are likely to be exposed to. In this review, we discuss the general epidemiology of reproductive health in Korea, and the information regarding these reproductive toxic agents.

Recently because of high-speed operation of trains, railway crossings become more and more hazardous components among the whole ones of railway system. It is desirable to remove all the railway crossings for reducing fatalities at railway crossings. it is impossible to eliminate all the crossings for unrealistic investment, so it should be considered to construct multi-level crossings by the order of priority. In this paper operation conditions, various hazard factors on the train accident at domestic railway crossings and foreign cases of risk-based safety assessment models are reviewed and then necessary record data that be added and modified, some essential considerations for developing railway crossing safety assessment software program are proposed.

This study concerns the cement-solidification. stabilization of the electric furnace dust. Compressive strength and leaching test of heavy metals were evaluated for varing types and ratios of cements and the effect of some additives of hauyne clinker and slag were also discussed. In this cases of using cement binders more than 30%, the compressive strength showed the values over 150kgf/cm2. so it can be used as filler for concrete precastings. Type III cement and Hauyne clinker improved the compressive strength, especially early strength. Leaching amount of heavy metals was decreased when using type III cement and adding hauyne clinker and slag. The values were especially low in the case of slag addition.

One of the main cases of the desertification impact is the negative contribution of human activities that worsen environment. There are historical facts of inability and excessive activities which destroyed the civilizations. The basic difference is only in the tempo and scales of civilization collapse. Human pressure was accumulated within the centuries and millennia due to the extremely active economic activities. But today it covers only the decades. Presently the process of desertification has a global scale. There are huge factors of Earth aridization as an increase of the quantity of C02 and atmospheric dust and bloom. This process related not only to the arid areas. Obviously a comprehensive approach of development of territories, particularly arid areas is very important. The use of the satellite information and technologies of remote sensing data processing can take a significant place for decision-makers for calculation and estimation of the environment impacts.

Over 4.1 billion metric tons of non-hazardous solid wstes are generated in the United States annually. Therefore, there is a need to reuse or reprocess as many products or by-products as possible. In this report, theaggregates produced from Naval Shipyard and Charleston area dredge spoils are designated as GP-21-23 and GP 4-5, repectively. The major objective of this study is to determine the feasiblity of the use of these aggregates in concrete. The followings are some of the conclusions, observations and recommendations regarding this portion of the research project. In most cases, the unit weight of concrete containing GP 21-23 and GP 4-5 (vitrified galss) lower than the control concrete, and the concrete containing vitrified glass produced lower compressive and bending strength compared to the control. However the concrete containing virtrified glass could be used in the field based on the minimum criterial set for the mix design. The use of vitrified glass in concrete is recommended in several applications except parking lots, side walks and main roads, because abrasion resistace is not high.

This study concerns the cement-solidification/stabilization of the municipal waste incineration fly-ash. Compressive strength and leaching test of heavy metals were evaluated for varying types and ratios of cements and the effects of some additives of Hauyne clinker and slag were also discussed. In the cases of using cement binders more than 10%, the compressive strength after 3 days showed the values over $20kgf/cm^2$. Type III cement and Hauyne clinker improved the compressive strength, especially early strength. And the values of leaching test showed that cement-solidification is effective method to stabilize heavy metals especialy when using type III cement and adding Hauyne clinker and slag,.

The roller machines installed in the industrial field are operated under hazardous conditions due to no safety devices available, human error during operation, defective safety devices, and inadequate regulation even in case that safety devices are provided. Up to now, most roller machines installed in domestic field are provides with band breaking system as a safety device. In this study, the emergency stop distance is measured within the limit of domestic regulation but violates a foreign regulation(EN1417). Consequently, it is concluded that the roller machines with a band breaking system have high possibility of death or serious injury of the operator and the system should be improved with the introduction of additional safety devices. This thesis suggests the safety measures suitable for the roller machines with different drive systems based on the experiment results. The use of the newly developed safety system has been tested on many cases.
