  • Mixed acid is very reactive and highly corrosive. it has been causing many accidents in a electronic industry, a steel industry, and a chemical industry. Therefore, it is required that the high safety level for the acid storage facilities. In this study, we investigated the accident causes for resent leak accidents with Root Cause Analysis (RCA). The root causes analysed by RCA were categorized as nine divisions by the their characteristics. Furthermore, each nine divisions causes was applied to the PDCA model which are using at OHSAS 18001. It is suggested that the nine division with the root causes can be the essential items for the development of the safety management manual. It is helpful to the safety improvement of the acid storage facility.

  • Purpose: This study is for the facility eligibility and improvement evaluation analysis for the patient care environment of 7 facilities which has national inpatient isolation units. Methods: For the evaluation, first of all, the patient care environment of national inpatient isolation units are scrutinized by the checklist which is used on from 2014 with the 4 fields of criteria : architectural planning and layout, general requirement and condition for operating the negative pressured isolated patient room, HVAC system, and waste water discharging system. Finally, the evaluation results are compared with that of 2014. Results: The result shows that the average value of facility eligibility is 89.3 percent and which is 8.9 percent higher than the value before the MERS occurred. Implications: It is clear that facility remodeling of 7 institutions is being performed continuously, and the result of facility eligibility evaluation is reflected on design of a new 21 national inpatient isolation units those are going to be constructed from 2016. Therefore, it is expected that this study is used as a practical reference to establish the criteria of patient care environment management and safety management for both infectious disease outbreak and general service condition.

  • Purpose: The risk assessment for earthquakes was conducted in accordance with the current design standard (KBC2016) for the Coalescer facility, which is a major facility of energy storage facilities. Method: The risk assessment for earthquakes was conducted in accordance with the current design standard (KBC2016) for the Coalescer facility, which is a major facility of energy storage facilities. Result: In this study, by statically loading earthquake loads and evaluating the level of collapse prevention of special-class structures, facility managers can easily recognize and evaluate the risk level, and this analysis result can be applied to future facility risk management. Earthquake analysis was performed so that. Conclusion: As a result of analyzing the Coalescer facility according to the current design standard KBC2016, the stress ratio of the main supporting members was found to be up to 4.7%. Therefore, the members supporting Coalescer were interpreted as being safe against earthquakes with a reproducibility period of 2400 years that may occur in Korea.

  • Purpose: This study investigates human error accidents in the Korean railway sector, emphasizing the need for systematic management to prevent such incidents, which can have fatal consequences, especially in driving-related jobs. Research design, data and methodology: This paper analyzed data from the Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority, examining 240 human error accidents that occurred over the last five years (2018-2022). The analysis focused on accidents in the driving, facility, electric, and control fields. Results: The findings indicate that the majority of human error accidents stem from negligence in confirmation checks, issues with work methods, and oversight in facility maintenance. In the driving field, errors such as signal check neglect and braking failures are prevalent, while in the facility and electric fields, the main issues are maintenance delays and neglect of safety measures. Conclusions: The paper concludes that human error accidents are complex and multifaceted, often resulting from a high workload on engineers and systemic issues within the railway system. Future research should delve into the causal relationships of these accidents and develop targeted prevention strategies through improved work processes, education, and training.

  • The research was to investigate the effect of quality cognition(usage, medical information, aesthetic, safety) of the web site of the facility on customer loyalty and moderating role of trust variable. The respondents was 201 patients and caregivers. Data were collected from March 1 to 31, 2010 at C university hospital in G city. In relationship between quality cognition of facility web site and customer loyalty, the results of quality cognition on customer loyalty showed 43.1% (F=36.912) in model 1, 46.3%(F=33.454) in model 2, and 46.8%(F=18.580) in model 3. In relationship between web site quality cognition and customer loyalty, moderate effect of trust was not considerable. As results, quality is the leading fact for customer loyalty more than trust. Therefore, customer loyalty leaves its possibility of increment when facility web site is designated depending on medical information, usage and aesthetic.

  • The Chemical Control Act has revised in 2015 to promote chemical safety, particularly enhancing the standards for the installation and management of hazardous chemical handling facilities. However, in some existing facilities, it was difficult to comply with some facility standards because of lack of land, safety accident possibility during rebuilding. In this study, we attempted to provide a more rational approach of dike standard which was the highest(2017: 117, 2018: 83) complaint for two years(2017~2018, 1,087) by prior study, FLACS simulation, analyze safety management standard and conduct a survey. Therefore, considering the purpose of installing the discharge wall only at existing facilities in operation, additional sensors that can detect chemical leakage and leakage were recognized as an additional alternative to installing and operating closed circuit television (CCTV). This will help the safety and cost aspects of small or medium-sized businesses or small and medium-sized enterprises that cannot secure legal grounds or fail to enforce legal regulations due to economic problems such as construction costs.

  • As the development of total management systems for sites along with site environmental information is becoming standard, the system known as the Site Information and Total Environmental database management System (SITES) has been developed over the last two years. The first result was a database management system for storing data obtained from facilities, and a site characterization in addition to an environmental assessment of a site. The SITES database is designed to be effective and practical for use with facility management and safety assessment in relation to Geographic Information Systems. SITES is a total management program, which includes its database, its data analysis system required for site characterization, a safety assessment modeling system and an environment monitoring system. It can contribute to the institutional management of the facility and to its safety reassessment. SITES is composed of two main modules: the SITES Database module (SDM) and the Monitoring & Assessment (M&A) module [1]. The M&A module is subdivided into two sub-modules: the Safety Assessment System (SAS) and the Site Environmental Monitoring System (SEMS). SAS controls the data (input and output) from the SITES DB for the site safety assessment, whereas SEMS controls the data obtained from the records of the measuring sensors and facilities. The on-line site and environmental monitoring data is managed in SEMS. The present paper introduces the procedure and function of the M&A modules.
