Revising the Occupational Safety and Health Act led to enacting and revising related laws and systems, such as placing fire observers in hot workplaces. However, the operating standards in such cases are still ambiguous. Although fire accidents occur through multiple and multi-step factors, the hazards of fire accidents have been identified in this study as individual rather than interrelated factors. The aim has been to identify multiple factors of accidents, outlining fire and explosion accidents that recently occurred in the domestic manufacturing industry. First, major keywords were extracted through text mining. Then representative accident types were derived by combining the main keywords through the co-word network analysis to identify the hazards and their relationships. The representative fire accidents were identified as six types, and their major hazards were then addressed for improving safety measures using the identification of hazards in the "Risk Assessment" tool. It is found that various safety measures, such as professional fire observers' training and clear placement standards, are needed. This study will provide useful basic data for revising practical laws and guidelines for fire accident prevention, system supplementation, safety policy establishment, and future related research.

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.

The fire accident cases of several countries such as Korea, Japan, United States, etc., were collected and compared statistically. The trends of fire accidents in several countries will help us establish detailed plans for fire protection and reduce the possible fire accidents in the future. For construction of data base system, the program FADS was developed, which is operable in Windows environment.

한국에서 1997-2006년 동안 소방방재청(NEMA)에 보고된 화재사고를 조사하였다. 화재로 인한 23523건의 화재사고가 발생하였다. 화재의 사고 형태와 화재 원인에 기초한 통계적 비교를 분석하였다. 화재 총건수의 27.5%가 주민의 주거에서 발생하였고 18%가 차량에서 발생하였다. 점화원으로는 전기가 제일 높았고 다음으로 흡연으로 조사되었다.

일반적으로 화재는 다양한 원인으로 발생하며 무작위로 보이기에 화재의 발생을 예측한다는 것은 매우 도전적인 문제이다. 하지만 모든 화재가 아닌 큰 피해를 주는 초대형 화재사고의 예측이 가능하다면, 선제적 대응을 통한 손실 최소화를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국가 전체를 대상으로 초대형 화재사고를 예측하기 위해 기계학습 기법인 k-평균 클러스터링을 이용하여 화재사고를 분류하고, 이를 인위적인 설정이 강한 비전문가 기준, 전문가 기준 분류 결과와 비교하여 예측에 적절한 분류 기준을 제안하였다. 비교 결과 기계학습을 이용한 분류가 일정한 피해규모와 비율로 분류되어, 예측에 적절한 분류 기준이라 판단하였다. 또한 초대형 화재사고의 주기성을 분석한 결과 일정한 패턴을 보였지만 높은 편차를 보였다. 따라서 단순 예측기법이 아닌 고급 예측기법을 사용하였을 때 초대형 화재사고의 발생 예측이 가능하다고 판단되었다.

미래의 화재 사고에 대한 구체적인 대응과 사고를 줄이기 위하여 국내외 사고사례의 집적과 체계적인 자료 분류가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 화재 사고사례 분류 모델을 제시하고 미국 NFPA의 분류 모델과 일본의 모델을 비교하여 향후 개선 방향을 제시하였다. 또한 PC의 Windows 환경에서 운영될 수 있는 사고사례에 관한 데이터베이스 프로그램(FADBS)을 개발하여 사고사례 분석을 쉽고 효과적으로 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

According to ' Monthly report of train accidents and incidents ' of KNR, 95 numbers of rolling stock fire accidents/incidents had happened during last five years(from 1999 to 2003). Among them, there have happened only one injured accident which happened at Whamyung station in 1999. But it is necessary to consider a countermeasure for fire accidents/incidents, because they have big risk which might produce a large scale damage and lots of injured persons as the Taegu subway fire accident last year. This paper analyzes the rolling stock fire accidents/incidents which have happened during last five years in KNR, and suggests their countermeasures.

In this study, an analysis was conducted on internal and external factors related to fires in electric vehicles in order to improve the safety of electric vehicles against fire accidents. To conduct the analysis, field survey data conducted on actual electric vehicle fire accidents were used, and accident-related statistical data was used. Among them, as a result of analyzing the internal factors related to fire accidents in electric vehicles, it was confirmed that high-voltage batteries are an important factor in fire accidents caused by internal factors of electric vehicles. An analysis of external factors for fire accidents of electric vehicles was also conducted in this study. The largest number of electric vehicle accidents that occurred on public roads were mainly caused by physical external forces such as collisions. Therefore, strengthening the safety of this road infrastructure could be an additional solution to improve the fire safety of electric vehicles. As a result, based on car accident cases, two crash scenarios based on road infrastructure were derived, each of which simulates a high-speed frontal collision situation and a lower-end collision situation. Additionally, detailed test methods for these scenarios were developed.

In general, fire accidents in tunnels are sufficiently preventable, but the damage is very large. Therefore, the number of highway traffic accidents is high in spring when spring fatigue occurs and the traffic volume for maple travel increases. In particular, when analyzing the cause of death of people killed in fire accidents in tunnels, it is analyzed that most of them are suffocated by smoke. Therefore, in this study, it can be said that it is meaningful to make a social contribution to reduce the number of traffic accident deaths by establishing an efficient fire suppression system for fire accidents in tunnels.

Followings are the analysis of 578 fire accidents occurred at Specific Building In 1995. Fire frequency had been slightly decresed since 1992. In regional, fire accidents in Seoul and Ulsan were higher than the average. Occupational fire frequency order was apartment, factory, buildings over six stories and market place. In addition, the order of life loss was buildings over six stories, apartment and factory. And property loss totaled six times higher than that of Fire Department. Among the causes of fire, electrical fire formed 44.8%, from which we can assume that there were some problems in the investigation of fire causes.
