Abstract

In the consideration of the working conditions, which have several kinds of works operating at the same time, at construction sites, it is difficult to prevent industrial accidents. There are a number of works to employ flammable materials and hot works simultaneously operated without fire protection systems. It causes a huge fire and casualties. In this research to analyze an accident case, the reasonable prevention methods are suggested throughout the property tests for the organic solvents and the analysis of the behavior for vapour cloud in the underground area of the construction site.

건설현장은 다른 산업분야와 달리 다양한 형태의 공정을 동시에 진행하는 작업적 특성을 가지고 있어서 사고를 예방하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 특히 소방설비가 정상적으로 설치되지 않은 상태에서 인화성물질과 화기작업이 동시 다발적으로 진행되는 경우가 많아서 큰 화재사고로 이어지고는 한다. 본 연구에서는 2016년 발생한 김포 화재사고를 통해서 작업자가 물질의 위험성을 인지할 수 있는 유일한 수단인 물질안전보건자료의 신뢰도와 유증기 분석으로 보다 합리적인 재발방지 대책을 제시하고자 하였다.
