Abstract

On the construction site, there exists frequently a high likelihood that a fire accident can lead to a large-scale disaster. In the previous studies, the diverse outcomes have been focused on the improvement of relative statutes and tried to realize the suppression and confrontation of the fire accidents. In this study, the limitations on the site were identified through prior research reviews, and the fire risk assessment checklist was proposed through the analysis of the massive accident cases. The checklist was divided into the prevention and minimization steps and developed into 16 categories of total risk factors. According to the results from the cases applied in this study, if the installation status is checked, such as removing combustibles, and broadcasting facilities for evacuation are installed, it is expected that the casualties will be minimized or zeroed. By developing a fire risk assessment checklist, this study provides the implications of the theoretical and realistic fire accident prevention, and supports the ways to minimize the damage resulted from the fire accidents on construction sites. In the further, deriving universe and common items about repeated occurrences of a work type will be needed as a subsequent research.

건설현장에서는 화재사고 발생 시 대형재해로 이어질 수 있는 위험성이 매우 크다. 건설현장에서는 가연성 물질을 다수 사용하고 있으며, 화재사고 발화원이 되는 장비를 흔히 사용하고 있어 화재사고 위험이 항상 상존한다. 화재사고 예방을 위한 다양한 제도로 명시하고 있으나, 건설현장 작업 특성에 적합한 예방제도를 적용하기에는 한계가 있으며, 기존 연구에서는 법령개선 및 화재사고 시 진압 문제 관련 내용의 연구가 진행되었다. 이에 본 연구에서 화재사고 사례분석과 선행연구 고찰을 통해 화재위험도 평가 체크리스트를 제안하였다. 체크리스트의 현장 적용성을 검토해보기 위해서 국내 건설현장에서 발생한 2건의 화재사고 사례에 적용하였다. 그 결과, 실제 화재 원인을 포함하여 추가적으로 화재원인이 될 수 있는 원인들을 규명할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 화재위험도 평가 체크리스트를 건설현장에서 활용한다면 실질적이고 효과적인 화재사고 예방뿐만 아니라 화재사고가 발생하더라도 인명피해를 최소화하는 데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
