It is difficult to put it into practice in that it requires bearing too much burden to draw out the planning itself in a case of large construction work. Consequently in this paper we select evaluation criteria by construction progress, classify into several categories, and regard potential danger which often occurs, as a evaluation criterion. Further step is to allow workers or collaborated companies to express their expert opinions or experiences and to encourage quality and process control and autonomous safety control by applying PSM(Process Safety Management) method using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) and to development of PSIM(Process Safety Information Management) evaluation method in the construction. The reason why PSIM method should be quantitative and substantial progress is because it contributes Korean constructing companies to enhancing their safety control ability and to taking an equal stance just like developed countries, thereby strengthening their competitive edges.

In the chemical process industries, accidents have a high potential and large effects on catastrophic results. Therefore the safety management for accident prevention plays a crucial role to guarantee the process safety. For these reasons, many systematic methods for safety management system have been widely employed in the fields of chemical processes. PSM (Process safety management) is one of most representative methods. The audit system, which is one of PSM system components, evaluates the performance of PMS system. However, most existing safety audit systems are not systematic and these are performed based on knowledges and experiences of various specialist. Moreover, the safety audit is only performed based on each independent technical component. So, the results of safety audit are not a quantitative index but only a series of commentaries. Finally, it is very difficult to obtain the comparison with other plants or industries. In this study, the novel systematic method and index-based accident database of auditing safety management systems for quantitative assessment are proposed. First, the elements of safety audit replace technical methods to categories of accident database. The F-N curve of each category for accident database is employed to derive the index for quantitative assessment. The Accidental Factor Risk Index (AFRI) is suggested for evaluating the effect of each element in accident database and safety audit system. The safety audit can be modified according to the proposed index.

As a way of improving the safety of the facilities, the risk based-inspection (RBI) was executed for the chemical facilities by using K-RBI program, which has been developed based on the API-581 based resource document (BRD). As the result of the evaluation, we found the level of the process safety management (PSM) for the applied plant, quantitative risk of the applied process, risk of static facilities and pipes, and the damage mechanism of the facilities. Thus, we could suggest a proper inspection frequency using the calculated risk of the process and the status of the facilities. The applied plant achieved a reduced inspection cost by an extension of the inspection frequency, improved productivity, improved reliability of the facilities, and a computerized history management.

As a way of improving the safety of the chemical facilities, the risk based-inspection(RBI) was executed for the facilities of the applied petrochemical plant using KS-RBI Ver. 3.0 program developed based on the API-581 based resource document(BRD). From an evaluation result of KS-RBI program, we could find the evaluation of the process safety management(PSM) for the applied plant, risk of the applied process, risk of static facilities and pipes, and the demage mechanism of the facilities. Also, we could suggest a proper inspection plan(frequency and method of inspection) using the calculated risk and the status of the facilities. Therefore, the applied plant could be achieved a reduced inspection cost by an extension of inspection frequency, improved productivity, improved reliability of the facilities, and a computerized history management.

In this paper, the guidelines for the design of an Artificial Intelligence(AI) based Integrated Process Safety Management(PSM) system to enhance workplace safety using data from process safety reports submitted by hazardous and risky facility operators in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act is proposed. The system composed of the proposed guidelines is to be implemented separately by individual facility operators and specialized process safety management agencies for single or multiple workplaces. It is structured with key components and stages, including data collection and preprocessing, expansion and segmentation, labeling, and the construction of training datasets. It enables the collection of process operation data and change approval data from various processes, allowing potential fault prediction and maintenance planning through the analysis of all data generated in workplace operations, thereby supporting decision-making during process operation. Moreover, it offers utility and effectiveness in time and cost savings, detection and prediction of various risk factors, including human errors, and continuous model improvement through the use of accurate and reliable training data and specialized datasets. Through this approach, it becomes possible to enhance workplace safety and prevent accidents.

건설현장 재해가 차지하는 국가적 손실을 감소시키기 위해 그동안 정부 및 관계기관과 많은 건설사들의 노력에도 불구하고 건설현장 작업 공정상 중대 사고들이 끊이지 않아 이에 대한 실증적 연구가 절실히 요구되고 있다. 현재 건설업의 안전관리 시스템은 유해·위험방지계획서 제도를 시행하고 있으나, 기존의 다른 자료를 답습한 내용이 대부분이고, 대규모 공사인 경우는 유해·위험방지계획서 작성 자체도 큰 부담을 갖을 수밖에 없는 현실에서 실질적인 수행이 어려운 실정이다. 그리고, 공사 착공 후 잦은 설계변경과 공법 변화 등에 따른 위험 요인에 적절히 대응하지 못하는 문제점이 도출되고 있다. 이러한 연유로 각각의 작업공정 개시전 공정별 작업 안전계획을 수립하여 적기에 능동적이고 유기적인 사전위험요인 제거가 가능한 공정안전관리기법(PSM: Process Safety Management)을 건설분야에 도입하여 시행하는 것이 필요하다고 사료된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 건설현장에 핵심공정에 대한 사전 안전성 확보로 재해를 예방하는 P.S.M. 기법을 도입하여 건설업 중대재해를 예방하는 방안을 찾아보고자 한다.

The Process Safety Management (PSM) by the Law of Industry, Safety and Health has been performed for preventing major accidents of chemical plants since 1996. In terms of preventing chemical accidents more precisely, it is essential to develop a tool for quantitative risk assessment. For this, KOSHA (Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency) developed an Integrated Risk Management System (IRMS). The system is designed to assimilate data on chemical plant hazards from external database, to integrate these data with location information(topographic and demographic), and to make them user-friendly accessible. The system consists of several main functions: display of five major Korean petrochemical complex layout display of equipment layout with its information utilizing the external database, zonation of the hazard effected area with consequence analyses, the most probable accident scenario generation, accident/incident database and calculation of frequency of accident using equipment reliability database, etc. The highlight of IRMS is to provide the risk contours using GIS(Geographical Information System) technology. IRMS is intended to manage hazardous installation more systematically and effectively, to reduce the number of accident remarkably, further minimizing production loss in the plant. The system is now under application to about 500 PSM sites as well as and emergency authorities in Korea by KOSHA (Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency)

There is a lack of knowledge and information on the understanding and application of the Process Safety Management (PSM) system, recognized as a major cause of industrial accidents in small-and medium-sized workplaces. Hence, it is necessary to prepare a protocol to secure the practical and continuous levels of implementation for PSM and eliminate human errors through tracking management. However, insufficient research has been conducted on this. Therefore, this study investigated and analyzed the various violations in the administrative measures, based on the regulations announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, in approximately 200 small-and medium-sized PSM workplaces with fewer than 300 employees across in korea. This study intended to contribute to the prevention of major industrial accidents by developing a facility maintenance web program that removed human errors in small-and medium-sized workplaces. The major results are summarized as follows. First, It accessed the web via a QR code on a smart device to check the equipment's specification search function, cause of failure, and photos for the convenience of accessing the program, which made it possible to make requests for the it inspection and maintenance in real time. Second, it linked the identification of the targets to be changed, risk assessment, worker training, and pre-operation inspection with the program, which allowed the administrator to track all the procedures from start to finish. Third, it made it possible to predict the life of the equipment and verify its reliability based on the data accumulated through the registration of the pictures for improvements, repairs, time required, cost, etc. after the work was completed. It is suggested that these research results will be helpful in the practical and systematic operation of small-and medium-sized PSM workplaces. In addition, it can be utilized in a useful manner for the development and dissemination of a facility maintenance web program when establishing future smart factories in small-and medium-sized PSM workplaces under the direction of the government.

얼마 전부터 안전보건경영체제의 시행여부와 관련하여 최근 위험성 평가(Risk Assessme nt)가 각 방면에서 주목을 받고 있다. 우리나라에서는 위험성 평가가 96년부터 공정안전관리(PSM : Process Safety Management nt)가 시행되면서 특히 화학업종을 중심으로 해당 사업장에 적용되어 실시해왔으나 안전보건경영체제에서는 일반업종에도 위험성 평가를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 위험성 쳥가에 관한 국제적인 표준이 ISO 14121 등 여러 가지가 있는데 일본에서는 이미 위험성 평가에 대한 표준 모델을 발표하고 있다. 본 자료에서는 일반 기계기구업종에서의 위험성 평가에 대한 표준모델로서 영국규격 BS8800 부속서D를 일본에서 발표된 모델을 소개 하고자 한다.
