For preventing the accidents generated from the chemical materials, thus far, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) data have been made to notify how to use and manage the hazardous and chemical materials in safety. However, it is difficult for users who handle these materials to understand the MSDS data because they are only listed based on the alphabetical order, not based on the specific factors such as similarity of characteristics. It is limited in representing the types of chemical materials with respect to their characteristics. Thus, in this study, a lots of MSDS data are visualized based on relationships of the characteristics among the chemical materials for supporting safety managers. For this, we used the textmining algorithm which extracts text keywords contained in documents and the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm which visually addresses textual data information. In the case of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States, the guide texts contained in MSDS documents, which include use information such as reactivity and potential risks of materials, are gathered as the target data. First, using the textmining algorithm, the information of chemicals is extracted from these guide texts. Next, the MSDS map is developed using SOM in terms of similarity of text information of chemical materials. The MSDS map is helpful for effectively classifying chemical materials by mapping prohibited and hazardous substances on the developed the SOM map. As a result, using the MSDS map, it is easy for safety managers to detect prohibited and hazardous substances with respect to the Industrial Safety and Health Act standards.

공정안전을 위해서는 산업현장에서 취급하는 가연성물질의 화재 및 폭발 특성치가 있어야 한다. 사업장에서 사고를 예방하기 위한 연소특성치로 인화점, 연소점, 전폭발한계, 최소자연발화온도 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나 물질보건안전자료(MSDS)에서 제시하고 있는 특성치는 문헌들에 따라 달리 제시되고 있는데, 가연성물질을 안전하게 처리, 수송, 취급하기 위해서는 정확한 연소특성치가 필요하다. 화학산업에서 중간제품, 고무약품 등의 원료로 다양하게 사용되고 있는 노말에틸아닐린을 선정하였다. 그리고 노말에틸아닐린 안전한 취급을 위해서 인화점, 연소점 그리고 최소자연발화온도를 측정하였다. 노말에틸아닐린의 폭발하한계는 실험에서 얻어진 하부인화점을 이용하여 계산하였다. 노말에틸아닐린의 Setaflash 밀폐식은 $77^{\circ}C$, Pensky-Martens 밀폐식에서는 $82^{\circ}C$ 그리고 Tag 개방식에서는 $85^{\circ}C$, Cleveland 개방식에서는 $92^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. ASTM E659 장치에 의한 측정된 노말에틸아닐린의 최소자연발화온도는 $396^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. Setaflash 밀폐식에 의해 측정된 노말에틸아닐린의 하부인화점 $77^{\circ}C$에 의한 폭발하한계는 1.02 vol%로 계산되었다. 본 연구에서는 밀폐식에 의해 측정된 노말에틸아닐린의 하부인화점을 이용하여 폭발하한계의 예측이 가능하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 노말에틸아닐린의 발화온도와 발화지연시간의 관계식은 노말에틸아닐린의 다른 발화온도에서도 발화지연시간의 예측이 가능해졌다.

Objectives: To ensure that employers handling petroleum compounds understand whether petroleum-based UVCB (unknown or variable composition, complex reaction products, or biological materials) substances contain hazardous substances and comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, petroleum-based UVCB substances were analyzed and the results from samples were compared with MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) contents. Methods: Twenty-one petroleum samples were analyzed using GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), targeting ten volatile organic compounds regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Results: The target chemicals were detected in 13 out of 21 samples. All 13 samples were in the naphtha (low boiling point naphthas (gasolines)) group. There were also naphtha group samples containing 2% benzene. Some naphtha samples used as solvents contained about 1% benzene. Conclusions: This study shows that naphtha group petroleum substances contain hazardous chemicals in many cases. In particular, if benzene, n-hexane, and toluene with low occupational exposure limits are contained above the limit concentration. Such information should be delivered in the article on MSDS legal regulations.

Objectives: This study was performed to provide workplaces with political guidelines that apply international CMRs (Carcinogens, Mutagens, Reproductive toxins) information to Public Notice of TLVs (Threshold Limit Values). We analyzed information supply status about CMRs of international agencies and compared substances for which TLVs are set in KMoEL (Ministry of Employment and Labor in Korea). Methods: We referred to the reliable literature about classification criteria of CMRs corresponding to UN GHS (Globally Harmonized System of classification and Labeling of chemicals) and Public Notice No. 2009-68 'Standard for Classification, Labeling of Chemical Substance and Material Safety Data Sheet' in KMoEL. The classification system of CMRs in professional organizations (IARC, NTP, ACGIH, EU ECHA, KMoEL, etc.) was investigated through the internet and literature. Conclusions: 191 chemical substances among total 650 substances with TLVs are classified as carcinogens. Also, 43 substances classified as mutagens, and 44 as reproductive toxicants. These results suggest that the information of CMRs in Public Notice of TLV will be reorganized to 191 carcinogens, 43 mutagens, and 44 reproductive toxicants.

The combustible properties(flash point, explosion limit and autoignition temperature) are the important safety items which are considered in the typical MSDS(material safety data sheet). In this study, for the safe handling of n-butyl methacrylate(n-BMA) being used in various ways in the chemical industry, the flash point and the autoignition temperature(AIT) of n-butyl methacrylate was experimented. And, the lower explosion limit of n-butyl methacrylate was calculated by using the lower flash point obtained in the experiment. The flash points of n-butyl methacrylate by using the Setaflash and Pensky-Martens closed-cup testers measured $44^{\circ}C$ and $51^{\circ}C$, respectively. The flash points of n-butyl methacrylate by using the Tag and Cleveland open cup testers are measured $53^{\circ}C$. The AIT of n-butyl methacrylate by ASTM 659E tester was measured as $295^{\circ}C$. The lower explosion limit by the measured flash point $44^{\circ}C$ was calculated as 0.85 vol.%. It was possible to predict lower explosion limit by using the experimental flash point or flash point in the literature.

본 연구에서는 250kg 정도의 저장용량을 갖는 LPG 미니탱크에 대한 강도안전성을 FEM으로 해석하였다. FEM 해석결과에 의하면, 250kg의 저장용량을 갖는 LPG 미니탱크의 코너 반경은 175~205mm로 설계하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 가스저장탱크의 상하단부를 형성하는 경판의 코너 반경을 크게 설계할수록 강도 안전성은 높아지지만, 탱크의 내용적이 줄어들기 때문에 최적의 설계 데이터를 도출하는 것이 중요하다. 또한, 가스탱크의 강도를 안전하게 설계하기 위해 탱크의 두께를 두껍게 설계하려고 하지만, 두꺼운 강판을 사용하면 소재비와 운반비가 상승하므로 강판의 최적두께를 4.5~5.5mm에서 선정하는 것이 바람직하다. LPG 가스탱크의 액위를 측정하기 위해 사용하는 레벨게이지를 탱크의 측벽면에 구멍을 뚫어서 조립하는 기존의 방식보다 가스탱크의 중심축에 컬럼을 설치하는 레벨게이지 타입을 일체형으로 설계하는 것이 2배의 강도안전성을 높여주는 효과가 있다.

Since the regulation of MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) had started from July 1996, employers were required to furnish MSDS for the chemicals in use in their workplace. However, many MSDS did not contain upright information for the chemicals, and they were not updated regularly, and were not written in the standard format required by the Industrial Safety and Health Act (ISHA). The purposes of this study were 1) to examine the reliability of MSDS for mixed solvents, 2) to provide reliable MSDS to employers or employees, 3) to find out any difficulties in implementing MSDS after the initiation, and 4) to promote regular MSDS updating and to ensure the reliability of MSDS for chemical manufacturers. To check the reliability of MSDS of mixed chemicals, 21 samples of mostly degreasing solvents were collected along with their MSDS from the work place. The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass selective detector(GC-MSD). Their components were classified as saturated hydrocarbon, cyclic hydrocarbon, aromatics, and halogen containing hydrocarbon, and the amount of each class were measured. Manufacture's MSDS were compared with the actual composition of the collected samples, and further examined the reliability by checking whether the chemicals analyzed were included in the MSDS correctly. Finally, each item of MSDS was evaluated whether the MSDS correspond to the regulation required by ISHA. The results were following: 1) most of the degreasing solvents in MSDS were incorrect in their composition and contents, 2) the information in the MSDS including hazard classification, exposure level, toxicity, regulatory information were incorrectly provided, and 3) some MSDS did not disclose carcinogens in their MSDS. Continuous monitoring of MSDS was required to ensure reliability of MSDS. The Chemicals containing hydrocarbons from C10-C15 need to be tested to provide toxicity data. In addition, governmental support for providing correct MSDS was recommended to ensure reliability of MSDS. The MSDS regulation relating to the confidential business information may need to be revised to ensure reliability of MSDS.
