  • 미국, EU, 한국의 농작업자위해성평가를 위한 AOEL 설정, 국가별 경구흡수율 적용, 노출량 산출방법을 조사하였다. 농약성분 141종에 대한 경구흡수율을 조사하였으며 경구흡수율을 적용한 농작업자노출허용량(AOEL)과 국내 설정 AOEL을 이용하여 농작업자위해성평가를 실시하였다. 미국과 EU에서는 external dose를 internal dose로 변환하기 위하여 경구흡수율 또는 피부흡수율을 적용하였으나 한국에서는 AOEL 설정 시 경구흡수율을 적용하지 않은 external dose를 사용하였다. 141종의 농약성분 중 50종이 경구흡수율 80% 미만이었으며 경구흡수율을 적용하는 경우 약 36%의 농약성분이 이전 AOEL보다 낮아질 것으로 사료되었다. 50종의 농약성분 중 한국에 등록된 농약 28품목에 대해 EU AOEL을 이용하여 농작업자위해성평가를 실시한 결과, chlorothalonil WG 등 12품목이 독성노출비가 1 이하로 계산되어 위해성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 50종 중 한국 AOEL이 설정되어 있으며 한국에 등록된 농약 24품목에 대해 한국 AOEL을 이용하여 농작업자위해성평가를 실시한 결과, chlorothalonil WG 등 6품목은 독성노출비가 1 이하로 위해성이 높게 나타났다. 한국 AOEL이 없는 4품목에 대해 EU AOEL을 경구흡수율 100%로 환산한 수치를 이용하여 위해성평가를 실시한 결과, daminozide WP 등 4품목 모두 독성노출비 1 초과로 위해성이 낮게 나타났다. 경구흡수율 적용 및 미적용 EU AOEL과 한국 AOEL을 사용한 농작업자위해성평가를 비교한 결과 oxadiagyl SC 등 6품목을 제외한 22품목에서 동일한 위해성평가 결과가 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 농작업자 위해성 평가를 실시할 때 경구흡수율을 적용한 AOEL을 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 경구흡수율을 적용한 AOEL 설정 및 이용한 농작업자위해성평가를 수행하였을 때 보다 실제에 가까운 평가방법으로 판단되므로 등록농약의 평가에 적용될 수 있도록 개선이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • This paper aims at the statistical analysis of electrical fire and classification of electrical fire causes to collect electrical fires data efficiently. Electrical fire statistics are produced to monitor the number and characteristics of fires attended by fire fighters, including the causes and effects of fire so that action can be taken to reduce the human and financial cost of fire. Electrical fires make up the majority of fires in Korea(including nearly 30% of total fires according to recent figures), The incorrect and biased knowledge for electrical fires changed the classification of certain types of fires, from non-electrical to electrical. It is convenient and required to develop the standardized form that makes, in the assessment of the cause of electrical fires, the fire fighters directly ticking the appropriate box on the fire report form or making an assessment of a text description. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop electrical fire cause classification and electrical fire assessment on the fire statistics in order to categorize and assess electrical fires exactly. In this paper newly developed electrical fire cause classification structure, which is well-defined hierarchical structure so that there are not any relationship or overlap between cause categories, is suggested. Also fire statistics systems of foreign countries are introduced and compared.

  • This study was conducted to compare the value of the working environment measurement with the expected exposure value drawn by using a program, thereby going to investigate whether it is available to the risk assessment of domestic workplace. We used the ECETOC TRA program which is one of the exposure predictive models. Four kinds of substances were measured in two workplace which was exposed to organic solvents and one kind of substance was measured in three workplace which was exposed to dusts and then an exposure assessment of chemical risk factors was conducted. The result value of the working environment measurement, solid substance exceeded standard in one site, and it was found that the other solid and liquid substances were within the standard. The value of the exposure assessment program showd the same result; it was higher than the value of the working environment measurement, suggesting that due to its nature, the exposure assessment program is run only on the worst situation. Therefore, it was found that when the exposure assesment program is used, variables should be substituted only after accurately assessing the workplace and it is a good idea to assess the risk beforehand with the exposure assessment program in the case of the workplace which employs no more than 5 people and where it is hard to assess the working environment.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라 과수에서 사용되는 살균제인 picoxystrobin의 지렁이에 대한 독성 및 위해성 평가를 위하여 수행되었다. Picoxystrobin 원제(99.3%)의 지렁이에 대한 급성독성($LC_{50}$)은 10.93 mg/kg이었으며, 액상수화제(25%)도 원제와 유사한 8-16 mg/kg을 나타내었다. 이러한 독성값은 현재 우리나라의 등록농약에 대한 지렁이 평가기준에는 문제가 없는 수치이나, 실제 약제살포 후 강우를 예상한 모의시험에서 시험개시 24시간 내에 모든 지렁이가 치사하는 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 약제의 특성과 살포 이후 강우를 고려한 위해성 평가의 필요성을 보여주고 있다.

  • The collision problem is one of the design factors that must be carefully considered for the risk of collision occurring during the operation of ships and offshore structures. This paper presents the main results of the ship collision study, and its main goal is to analyze potential crash scenarios that may occur in the FLNG (Floating Liquefied Natural Gas) considering the likelihood and outcome. Consideration being given to vessels visiting the FLNG and surrounding vessels navigating around, such as functionally supported vessels and offloading carriers. The scope includes vessels visiting the FLNG facility such as in-field support vessels and off-loading carriers, as well as third party passing vessels. In this study, based on QRA (quantitative risk assessment), basic research methods and information on collision are provided. Based on the assumptions and methodologies documented in this study, it has been possible to clarify the frequency of collision and the damage category according to the type of visiting ship. Based on these results, the risk assessment results related to the collision have been derived.

  • The Organization's ability to respond to social disasters has begun to be treated as important through social shock situations that have never been experienced, such as COVID-19. Among them, the ability to respond to unexpected risks and resilience is emerging. Since social disasters such as infectious diseases are periodically repeated, compounded, and enlarged, they develop into a global crisis situation, so this crisis response capability is treated as national competitiveness. Therefore, this study aims to improve the organization's response capability in terms of risk response and resilience under rapid social disasters such as COVID-19. The aviation safety field was taken as an example. From the Safety-II perspective, safety management focuses on the ability to resilience in response to system vulnerabilities in various situations. In this study, I intend to apply RAG(Resilience Assessment Grid) of Respond, Monitor, Learn and Anticipate, the four major potential of resilience engineering. Based on Hollnagel's research, potential elements were classified into four, and items were organized through an expert panel using Delphi techniques. The final configured RAG items are 15 Respond, 15 Monitor, 15 Learn and 11 Anticipate. The RAG was evaluated by 42 experts in the field of aviation safety.

  • Usually, a risk can be expressed as a product of likelihood and consequence of a hazard factor. Therefore, conventional risk assessment is carried out by frequency analysis and severity analysis, in turns. However, it is well known that intuitive thinking is another excellent way of thinking of human beings. This study aimed to confirm whether there exist any difference in risk assessment results derived by two different procedures - intuitive and analytical. Thus, the present study showed 10 different illustrations to 30 undergraduate students. Their responses were organized as fuzzy membership functions, and summarized as risk assessments, and compared. The results were also verified with the help of statistical hypothesis testing, which showed no significant difference. On the contrary, however, similarity measure used in fuzzy set theory was not credible as anticipated. Many cases failed to satisfy statistical hypothesis even with similarity measure higher than 0.60 so that only a trend could be accepted. In addition, a subject showed a somewhat consistent logical discrepancy in his response, which implied the necessity of sincere analysis in fuzzy formulations.
