  • Chemicals Control Act have been strengthened to control more safely hazardous chemicals from 2015. In particular, the standards for the installation and management of handling facilities was enhanced with specific regulations depending on type of the facilities and the hazardous chemicals. However, some standards for handling facilities caused difficulties in implementing the strengthened standards due to various field conditions, such as lack of physical space. The Ministry of Environment is implementing Safety Assessment System (SAS) to solve these problems since 2018. However, many plants have difficulties in preparing alternative methods to pass the safety evaluation. The purpose of this study was to review and analyze the SAS and to suggest alternative measures in terms of management and technical aspects through the case study of hydrochloric acid storage tanks. The following safety solutions were suggested for handling facilities that had insufficient the space and capacity for the retaining wall due to physical space. Firstly, insufficient space was resolved by introducing equipment relocation or demolition, and retaining wall expansion. Secondly, the wall of the surrounding buildings was used as an alternative to the retaining wall with additional chemical resistant treatment. Finally, sensor installation and facility inspection were suggested as ways to improve chemical safety. Therefore, improvement of chemical accident prevention system is required not only in terms of facilities supplementation but also management aspect. The results of this study are expected to be available for similar facilities and will be based on the preparation of additional safety assessment as alternatives measures in the future.

  • Operation of human-centered robot, in general, facilitates the creation of new process that may potentially harm the human operators. Design of safety-guaranteed operation of human-centered robots is, therefore, important since it determines the ultimate outcomes of operations involving safety of human operators. This study discusses the application of geometric tolerance and head injury criteria to safety assessment of human-centered robotic operations. Examples show that extending "Work Area" has more significant effect on the uncertainty in safety than extending the system range in the presence of velocity control.

  • The aim of this study is to develop elements for assessing safety management capability of construction clients. To this end, it is investigated theoretical concepts of the organizational safety management and successful construction management factors of construction clients. From which, the elements appropriate to assess the safety management capability of the construction clients are proposed. Questionnaire survey targeting construction safety management experts have been carried out to adjust the proposed model more eligible for field application. Finally, relative importance of each element is analyzed using analytic hierarchy process method. The developed model elements are expected to use effectively for assessment of the safety management capability of the clients.

  • Risk Assessment to list possible safety disasters and their probability and severity is the starting point for effective safety management on construction project site. However, the safety managers in owners, construction supervisors, contractors, and sub-contractors still have difficulties in judging the priorities of safety activities and preparing responses to each potential safety disasters. Therefore, this study aimed to suggest a systematic method in assessing safety risk prior to commencement with the agreement of stakeholders. FMECA(failure mode effects and criticality analysis) was selected as a main assessment tool and it was modified according to the characteristics of construction projects and trades. Each risk is, firstly, evaluated with occurrence probability, possible loss and impacts to projects, and detections, and then risk priority number(RPN) is calculated. Subsequently, the managers of each stakeholder discuss the types, timing, and responsibilities of responses as a group decision-making process.

  • This study aims to establish safety zones for bunkering operations of hydrogen propulsion ships in coastal areas through risk assessment and evaluate their validity. Using a 350 kW-class ferry operating in Busan Port as the subject of analysis, with quantitative risk assessment based on accident consequence and frequency analysis, along with a social risk assessment considering population density. The results of the risk assessment indicate that all scenarios were within acceptable risk criteria and ALARP region. The most critical accident scenarios involve complete hose rupture during bunkering, resulting in jet flames (Frequency: 2.76E-06, Fatalities: 9.81) and vapor cloud explosions (Frequency: 1.33E-08, Fatalities: 14.24). For the recommended safety zone criteria in the 6% hose cross-sectional area leakage scenario, It could be appropriate criteria considering overall risk level and safety zones criteria for hydrogen vehicle refueling stations. This research contributes to establishing safety zone for bunkering operations of hydrogen propulsion ships through risk assessment and provides valuable technical guidelines.

  • 수입식품 안전관리 확보와 효율성 제고를 위한 목적으로 국가식품안전관리체계 평가도구를 활용하여 수출국의 국가식품안전관리체계 현황을 평가하고 이를 자국의 수입식품안전관리에 활용하는 방안에 대한 논의가 미국을 중심으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 미국의 평가도구와 도구를 활용한 평가사례를 비교조사하고, 관계 전문가의 의견을 검토하여 시사점을 도출하였다. 미국 FDA가 개발한 식품안전관리체계 평가도구는 외국의 식품안전 전문성을 이용하여 수입식품 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 마련되었으며, 평가도구는 10개 기준으로 구성되어 외국의 전반적인 식품안전관리 수준을 판단할 수 있도록 고안되어 있다. FDA는 평가도구를 활용하여 뉴질랜드와 캐나다를 대상으로 평가를 실시하였으며 두나라 모두 미국의 식품안전관리체계와 동등한 것으로 인정하였다. 전문가 인터뷰에서는 국가식품안전관리체계 평가를 통해 수입 전 위생평가와 수입식품의 국경검사 빈도관리에 활용함으로써 수입식품 안전관리에 있어 국가예산의 효율적인 배분과 대국민 신뢰도 향상에 기여할 것이며, 향후 국가식품안전관리체계 평가에 대한 활용도 제고를 위해서는 국제적인 조화와 전문가 예산의 확보도 중요하다는 의견을 제시하였다. 미국의 평가도구 조사 분석과 전문가 인터뷰를 토대로 도출한 시사점으로는 국가식품안전관리체계 평가 논의의 국제적 흐름에 능동적으로 대응할 필요가 있으며, 국가식품안전관리체계 평가도구를 활용하여 국내 식품안전관리체계를 검토하는 것이 가능할 것이다. 아울러 식품안전관리체계 평가결과는 수출입 안전관리에도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보이며, 이러한 국제흐름에 따라 향후에는 우리나라 자체 국가식품안전관리체계 평가도구를 개발하는 방안도 고려할 필요가 있다.

  • The number of marine accidents have been decreased since various equipments for navigation control have been introduced to the marine vessels. However, disastrous marine accidents such as ship collisions are occurred more frequently. Therefore, IMO(International Maritime Organization) is enforcing the design requirement of structural strength for marine vessel. Also EU countries are developing new design methodologies and design tools to suggest the design guidance which can minimize the damage of commercial vessels in case of marine collision accidents. In this study, an integrated design system for the safety assessment has been presented to enhance the safety of damaged ships in marine collision accidents. The architecture of system is described by use-cases and IDEF functional analysis. Then an integrated system for safety assessment of damaged ship which is considering both damage stability and structural safety has been developed to support the ship design in early stage.
