본 연구에서는 조선 및 화학공장 등 산업현장에서 용접·용단작업 공정에서 비산 되는 불티에 의한 화재 예방을 위하여 불티 차단막에 관한 방염 및 난연 성능 평가를 실시하였다. 방염성능 실험결과 기존제품의 용접불티 차단막 6종 모두 충분한 방염성능을 갖고 있었다. 그러나, 용접·용단 불꽃에 의한 난연성 실험 결과 섬유유리에 수지코팅한 제품 2종은 용접·용단 불티에 대한 화재예방성능이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 용접 불티 차단막의 최소산소지수의 국내기준은 30이상으로 고려하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다. 용접 불티 차단막의 성능향상을 위한 제속적인 연구가 필요하며, 방염 및 난연성능 기술지침 개발의 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 건설현장 등에서 주로 사용되는 용접 절단기의 작업시 화재위험성을 평가하였다. 실험에는 인버터 AC/DC TIG 용접기와 인버터 에어프리즈마 절단기가 사용되었다. 용접 절단 작업시 비산되는 불티의 온도를 측정하였다. 작업높이와 입력전류의 변화에 따라 비산된 불티의 크기 및 비산범위를 측정하였다. 또한, 용접 절단기 화재원인 중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하는 가연물 근접방치에 의한 화재위험성을 평가하였다. 가연물로는 건초, 방진막, 우레탄폼, 비닐, 종이, 유류가 사용되었다. 용접 절단 작업시 불티의 온도가 최대 $450^{\circ}C$까지 상승하였다. 2.5 m 높이에서 절단 작업시 불티가 최대 4.7 m까지 비산되었다. 용접 절단 작업시 주위에 가연물이 존재할 경우 비산된 불티에 의해 가연물에 착화되어 화재로 발전할 가능성이 매우 높다.

Current fire safety in the construction sites has developed piecemeal over a considerable period of time. However, the law and regulation of fire safety is insufficient to protect fro in the construction sites. The frequency of fire in the construction sites is very rare but it brings longterm deterioration durability of building structure and large scale industrial calamity. There are many process of works and each work deals with many kind of flammable material, so it is very difficult to find a proper safety fire prevention. This study executed the questionnaire and fire experiment of the welding work to provide effective fire prevention counterplan.

본 연구는 용접불티 차단막 개발을 위해 섬유류의 방염처리 후 화재성능 평가를 통해 적정한 방염 처리 방안을 제시하였다. 실험재료는 시중에서 유통되고 있는 섬유류이며, 방염처리는 난연제와 방화도료를 사용하였다. 화재성능 실험은 한국과 일본 기준에 따라 수행하였다. 실험결과 방염처리된 섬유류는 방염 및 난연성능이 충분하였으며, 그들의 난연등급은 A급에서 C급으로 나타났다. 최소산소지수는 방염제로 처리된 모든 시료가 국제기준을 만족하였다. 용접불티 차단막을 수평으로 설치하여 사용할 경우에는 작업대 높이에 관계없이 난연 A급에서 C급의 성능을 가진 제품을, 수직으로 설치할 경우 난연 C급 성능을 갖는 제품을 사용하는 것이 용접불티에 의한 화재확산을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A fire and explosion accident caused by a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) welding and cutting torch gas leak occurred 10 m underground at the site of reinforcement work for bridge columns, killing four people and seriously injuring ten. We conducted a comprehensive investigation into the accident to identify the fundamental causes of the explosion by analyzing the structure of the construction site and the properties of propane, which was the main component of LPG welding and cutting work used at the site. The range between the lower and upper explosion limits of leaking LPG for welding and cutting work was examined using Le Chatelier's formula; the behavior of LPG concentration change, which included dispersion and concentration change, was analyzed using the fire dynamic simulator (FDS). We concluded that the primary cause of the accident was combustible LPG that leaked from a welding and cutting torch and formed a explosion range between the lower and upper limits. When the LPG contacted the flame of the welding and cutting torch, LPG explosion occurred. The LPG explosion power calculation was verified by the blast effect computation program developed by the Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board (DDESB). According to the fire simulation results, we concluded that the welding and cutting torch LPG leak caused the gas explosion. This study is useful for safety management to prevent accidents caused by LPG welding and cutting work at construction sites.

최근 가연물이 있는 장소에서 용접·용단 작업 중 불꽃 비산 등으로 인한 화재·폭발사고가 빈발하고 있으며, 이러한 화재사고의 원인은 위험물 제거, 불꽃 비산방지 조치 등 기본적인 안전수칙 미준수가 대부분으로 산업안전보건법의 제도적인 보완이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 용접·용단 작업 등 화기작업에서의 화재·폭발 사고를 시스템적 관점에서 분석하고 그 결과를 반영하여 화재감시자 배치 확대, 화재위험작업의 사전승인, 화재예방 안전교육 강화 등 제도개선방안을 제안하였다.

Many accidents have been occurring during welding and flame cutting work related to maintenance and repair as the domestic manufacturing facilities gradually become decrepit. However, it is not easy to find the accurate statistics and analysis data on accidents occurring during welding or flame cutting operations related to maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment. Therefore, in this study, the fatal accident cases of fire/explosion and asphyxiation that occurred during the welding and flame cutting work in the manufacturing industry were collected and their characteristics were analyzed. Then, we tried to find the connection of the accidents according to the machinery/equipment and the work content, and to provide the materials and measures that can be used to prevent the similar accidents. We collected 329 cases of the fatal accidents related to fire/explosion and leakage/contact of chemical substances in the domestic manufacturing industry during the last 10 years (2008 ~ 2017). Among them, 72 accidents occurred during welding or flame cutting were extracted and the related reports were investigated whether they occurred during usual work or unusual work. Also, the machinery/equipment and the work content related to the accidents were classified and analyzed based on the criteria. The analysis results showed that 31 cases of the fire/explosion accidents occurred during usual work and 32 cases during unusual work, and it was found that 9 cases of asphyxiation death occurred during usual work. Then, from the analysis results, the connections of the machinery/equipment and the work contents related to the accidents were schematized into a accident tree.

Generally the control method of wire feeding motor in welding machine has been used full-wave phase control method. The fire-angle control generates low frequency speed ripple, and it causes the output current ripple. So it results in the variation of welding condition and low welding performances such as spatter generation and bead state. For the purpose of welding performances improvement by speed controller in wire feeding motor, in this paper the constant speed control method for welding machine is proposed. The proposed system is composed of speed control loop and current control loop. As a result of experiment by using proposed constant wire feed experiment by using proposed constant wire feed speed controller, the output voltage and current waveform and metal transfer are maintained stably. And moreover the number of instantaneous short circuit occurrence is reduced remarkably.

Accidents on construction sites involving fires do not occur as often as accidents involving falls from height or collapses. However, once a fire accident occurs, there is a high risk of a large number of casualties. Fire on construction sites is affected by working conditions and the types of activities the construction workers are engaged in at the sites. This study aims to identify activities and working conditions at construction sites that are vulnerable to fire, and analyse how they correlate with each other and how they affect the causes and consequences of fire accidents at construction sties. I analysed 40 fire accident reports and listed the situations vulnerable to fire at construction sites considering direct causes, activities, and working conditions. The most dangerous combination of fire hazards can be the heating devices used during rest/sleep in the office/cabin/storage during cold weather. The next most hazardous combination can be sparks arising from painting, waterproofing, insulation, plumbing, or welding/melting work in an underground or confined space.
