The using of Gun powders are getting grower than power due to the road opening, tunnel digging, the highest building, the pound digging on the construction industry, it also happen blasting accident as well, and it become society issue more than more. In this study, The check list far the human cause of the most rate among the blasting accident was developed in availing of accident investigation chart for the analysis of the blasting accident of already developed and FTA technique analysis with the analysis systematically of blasting accident. And then, Analysis for the application was carried out in construction cite, availing of the check list. As results, The most error has broken out at charge work, an uncomfortable processes, among the blasting work. Thus, It is a matter for consideration with improvement work.

This research analyzes blasting accident cause that is happening construction and engineering works spot taking advantage of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) techniques as metrical. Result that apply AHP with blasting accident that is happened the South Korea and Japan, appeared by thing which relative importance by human cause is highest. Specially, it is observance of safety rule that dominate the highest ratio among of human cause, and if observe a little, causes that prevention is possible are much. By result of this research, necessity of safety education is important first of all for prevention of blasting accident. Also, thorough safety control plan of during work and enough on-the-slut probe before work should be established. Because explosives uses gunpowder and explosive high energy, work by qualified person is essential. Ant it may become help to minimize dissipation of important life and property preventing beforehand explosion accident of gunpowder.

This paper was reported on the seminar of Korean-Japanese professional engineers. The first of all, it was described the comparative rifle between Korea, Japan & USA on fatal accident on the construction works. Next, it was described that some accidents was occured in typical reason and it will help us to prevent the future accident.

The specific characters in recent Chemical processing and industrial plants are the handling of severe limit conditions such as high pressure, high and low temperature, high speed production and transportation plant automation and appearance of many new hazardous materials in numbers and quantity. The possibilities of these characters causing the accident and environmental pollution in industrial activities become very high. This paper describes the concrete policy In prevent the explosion accident out of the many accidents which are the safety of the safety engineering.

The industrial explosives in Korea have been made and used since 1952. The blasting accidents have increased gradually with the use of explosives. Based on the Police Department and Guns & Explosives Safety Technology Association's researching materials, the blasting accidents between 1988 and 1997 have been investigated and analyzed in this paper. FTA method was applied for the analysis of the blasting accidents which occurred in the tunnels, roads, subways, and various kinds of building construction area. The results show that the majority of the accidents, about 45.7% of the total, are due to the fly rocks. It is similar trend in Japan. The FTA analysis performed on the accidents by fly rocks shows that the major source of the accident is human factors such as non-observance of the safety rules, less knowledge of the safety and so on. The results of the study ate expected to provide basic data for making and observing the safety rules, making and amending the laws concerned and planning the security project. It will be helpful in preventing the blasting accidents and in reducing the loss of valuable lives and the financial damage.

The overall management for explosives in domestic and regulation for blasting is managed by the control Act of guns, sword, explosives etc. On the details for handling and method, delivery, storage, use and management for explosives and work safety for the accident prevention is recommended to the related business site through Standard safety work guideline of blasting which set by safety & health 27 Act handling. In this study, It reviews the standard safety work guideline of blasting notified by Ministry of employment & labor. We propose the new products introduced into domestic explosives market, definition of explosives word when the newest blasting technology is revised, emulsion explosives, bulk explosives and electronic detonators which increased in the latest. Indeed, We propose a typical handling method of non-electric detonator and electronic in order to make the renewed Standard safety work guideline of Blasting on work guideline.

Explosive blasting performance is composed of charging, tamping and connecting performance, which need lots of power and time. Thus, operator's inconvenience and muscle load are increased by their pose. Then it's unavoidable for one to make a human error. As a result, blasting accidents and disasters of explosives may happen. So we need to have systematic study. According to their pose's changing we have OWAS, RULA, REBA, OSHA, ISI, NLE, TVAV, BLUE-X. In this article, OWAS, RULA, REBA have been evaluated. As a result of this research, it is shown that work-related musciloskeletal disorders are related to the second accident's happening.

NATM as method of tunneling has been applied to construction of domestic subway, roads, rail way, water way etc. Accordingly, we have NATM's many drafts and constructional results, but many problems and accidents have occurred under construction of tunnel using NATM for shortage of technical data. Poorness of constructional improvement, systemic inconsistency etc. Especially, everyone was shocked at Gupo's train wrecking accident lately. The purpose of this thesis is presentation of means for setting technical problems, by looking into Gupo's train wrecking accident and home records that applying NATM in tunneling failed, to minimize future safety accidents we find that the general problems of home fifteen sites having occured accidents is badly geological survey, nonconfirmationi of base rock's state, formal measuring management, shortage of specialists, systemical discrepancy and that disregarding NATM's rules makes general problems. The results of this study are Summarised as follows : 1. We advise repletion of design standards to practice crosshole test for confirming connected rock base on vertical section of tunnel. 2. We advise to practice pre0boring and pre-grouting for a weak layer difficult in applying NATM. 3. We advise systemic improvements that field servicer can construct tunnel of his own free will considering base rock's state at tunnel . 4. We advise that specialist, who can make a conduct and supervise above mentioned items as well as measuring management, should be posted at field.

On August 12, 2015, two huge explosions were accidently happened in Tianjin port, China. The explosion energies of the two explosions were similar to those of TNT 3 tons and TNT 21 tons. Until now, the cause of the explosions was not clearly announced but some guesses of the cause were released. One of the possible cause of the explosion is the generation of explosive acetylene gas from the chemical reaction between $CaC_2$ and spraying water to extinguish fire happened at the storage site of different chemical compounds. The explosion of acetylene gas might ignite the explosion of 800 tons of ammonium nitrate. In this study, the explosion due to the scenario was analyzed in order to check that such a chemical reaction can produce the huge explosion observed at the Tianjin accident.
