A chemical ranking and scoring (CRS-Korea) system was developed and proposed to use as the first step to prioritize the toxic chemicals for the purpose of monitoring and detailed risk assessment that might follow as necessary. The CRS-Korea system takes a basic concept of risk assessment (both human health risk and ecological risk) in that risk score is determined by the product of toxicity score and exposure score. Included in the toxicity category are acute toxicity, chronic/sub -chronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, and other toxicity. The exposure category consists of quantity released to the environment, bioconcentration, and persistence. A consistent scheme and a comprehensive chemical data base are offered in the CRS-Korea system to calculate a score for the each component in the two categories by using specific physicochemical, fate, and toxic properties and the quantity of the chemical used. The toxicity score is obtained by adding up all the individual scores for the components in the toxicity category. The exposure score is determined by multiplication of the score of the quantity released with the sum of persistent score and bioconcentration score. Equal weight is given to the toxicity score and the exposure score. As the CRS-Korea system was applied to identify 50 national priority chemicals, it was found that significant data gap exists on toxicity and fate properties and that the uncertainty associated with estimating the quantify released to the environment is notably high. The proposed CRS system is only a screening tool in the first step toward the priority setting and should be used with expert judgement and other considerations necessary.

In Korea, no CRA (comparative risk analysis) studies have been undertaken, nor have their methodologies of such studies been established. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to establish the framework of CRA consisting of health risk, economic risk and perceived risk, and to estimate and compare these risks among the three environmental problems of air pollution, indoor air pollution and drinking water contamination, which are themselves subject to the eight sub -problems of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), regulated pollutants (representative as PM 10) and dioxins (PCDDs/PCDFs) in air pollution, indoor air pollutants (IAPs) and radon in indoor air pollution, and drinking water pollutants (DWPs), disinfection by -products (DBPs) and radionuclides in drinking water contamination in Seoul, Korea. After which, the priorities of these problems were set by individual and integrated risk. From the results, the rankings of both health risk and economical risk were in the following order: radon, PM10, IAPs, HAPs, DWPs, dioxins, DBPs, and radionuclides among the eight sub problems. On the contrary, the ranking of perceived risk was in the following order: HAPs, dioxins, radionuclides, PM10, DWPs, IAPs, Radon and then DBPs among the eight sub-problems.

최근 국 내외 건설 환경은 대형화, 전문화, 다양화되고 있다. 이러한 건설 환경의 변화로 인하여 강구조물 프로젝트의 수요가 점차 증가하고 있으며 강구조물 공사의 효율적 품질관리의 중요성은 더욱 부각되고 있다. 강구조물 공사는 다수의 협력업체와 수많은 공종에 따른 많은 기술력을 요구하는 공사이기 때문에 다양한 리스크와 불확실 요인을 내포하고 있다. 하지만 현재 강구조물 공사의 리스크 대응 및 관리는 과학적이고 체계적 인 방법으로 진행되는 것 보다 공사자의 직감과 경험에 의존한 방법으로 진행되고 있다. 강구조물 공사의 리스크 요인을 파악하고 대응방안을 세우는 것은 강구조물 공사의 품질관리 성패를 좌우한다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 강구조물 공사의 과학적이고, 체계적인 리스크 관리를 위하여 전문가들의 설문조사를 실시하고 계층적 분석법(Analysis Hierarchy Process : 이하 AHP)을 통하여 리스크 중요도와 분석된 리스크 요인의 대응방안을 제시함으로써 강구조물 공사의 품질관리 체계를 정립하고자 한다.

국방연구개발사업의 성공을 위한 위험관리 활동은 프로젝트 전기간에 걸쳐 선제적이고 지속적으로 이루어져야 하며, 특히 위험요인을 중요도에 따라 우선순위를 선정하여 관리해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 델파이 기법으로 선정된 위험요인에 대해 요인분석을 통해 신뢰성 및 타당성을 검증하였으며, 계층분석방법 (AHP)으로 위험요인의 상대적 중요도를 구하여 우선순위를 정하고 국내 외 연구와 비교하였다. 연구결과 프로젝트 초기에 요구사항의 확정, 명확한 연구개발 범위, 타당한 완료일정, 필요한 자원의 확보가 아주 중요하고, 기존의 연구와는 달리 국방연구개발사업에서는 기술적인 요인들도 중요하게 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Background: Goal-oriented communication of risk of hazards is necessary in order to reduce risk of workers' exposure to chemicals. Adequate training of workers and enterprise priority setting are essential elements. Cleaning enterprises have many challenges and the existing paradigms influence the risk levels of these enterprises. Methods: Information on organization and enterprises' prioritization in training programs was gathered from cleaning enterprises. A measure of enterprises' conceptual level of importance of chemical health hazards and a model for working out the risk index (RI) indicating enterprises' conceptual risk level was established and used to categorize the enterprises. Results: In 72.3% of cases, training takes place concurrently with task performances and in 67.4% experienced workers conduct the trainings. There is disparity between employers' opinion on competence level of the workers and reality. Lower conceptual level of importance was observed for cleaning enterprises of different sizes compared with regional safety delegates and occupational hygienists. Risk index values show no difference in risk level between small and large enterprises. Conclusion: Training of cleaning workers lacks the prerequisite for suitability and effectiveness to counter risks of chemical health hazards. There is dereliction of duty by management in the sector resulting in a lack of competence among the cleaning workers. Instituting acceptable easily attainable safety competence level for cleaners will conduce to risk reduction, and enforcement of attainment of the competence level would be a positive step.

Uncertainty and variability in Life Cycle Assessment(LCA) have been significant key issues in LCA methodology with techniques in other research area such as social and political science. Variability is understood as stemming from inherent variations in the real world, while uncertainty comes from inaccurate measurements, lack of data, model assumptions, etc. Related articles in this issues were reviewed for classification, distinguish and elaboration of probabilistic/stochastic health risk analysis application in LCA. Concept of focal zone, streamlining technique, scenario modelling and Monte Carlo/Latin Hypercube risk analysis were applied to the uncertainty/variability analysis of health risk in LCA. These results show that this general framework of multi-disciplinary methodology between probabilistic health risk assessment and LCA was of benefit to decision making process by suppling information about input/output data sensitivity, health effect priority and health risk distribution. There should be further research needs for case study using this methodology.

The risk is expressed as consequence of damage multiplied by likelihood of failure. The installation of a protective system reduces the risk by reducing the likelihood of failure at the facility. Also, the protective system has different effects on the likelihood of failure according to the proof test cycle. However, when assessing risks in the Off-site Risk Assessment (ORA) system, the variation in risk was not reflected according to the proof test cycle of protective system. This study was conducted to examine the need for proof test and the importance of cycle setting by applying periodic proof test of the protective system to ORA. The results showed that the likelihood of failure and the risk increased with longer proof test cycle. The risk of a two-yearly proof test was eight times greater than that of a three-month cycle. From the results, the protective system needs periodic proof test. Untested protective system for a long term cannot be reliable because it is more likely to be failed state when it is called upon to operate. In order to reduce the risk to an acceptable level, it is effective to differently set the proof test cycle according to the priority. This study suggested a more systematic and accurate risk analysis standard than ORA. This standard is expected to enable an acceptable level of risk management by systematically setting the priority and proof test cycle of the protective system. It is also expected to contribute to securing the safety of chemical facilities and at the same time, will lead to the development of the ORA system.

최근 세계 건설시장은 2025년까지 연 평균 4.8%씩 성장할 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 이에 따른 해외건설 리스크도 증가할 것으로 전망하고 있다. 특히, 국내 건설업체들은 EPC(Engineering, Procurement, Construction)/Turnkey 사업에 집중적으로 참여하였지만, 계약적 리스크에 대응하지 못한 결과, 2013년부터 수조원대의 해외사업 손실을 입은 경험이 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 지금까지 EPC/Turnkey의 계약적 핵심 리스크 세부조항 도출에 대한 연구는 많지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국제컨설팅엔지니어링연맹(FIDIC)에서 발행한 2017년 Silver Book 계약조건을 대상으로 핵심 리스크 세부조항을 연구하였다. 이를 위해서 국제건설계약 경험이 10년 이상인 30인의 전문가를 패널로 구성하여 FIDIC Silver Book 21개 조항 170개 세부조항을 델파이 설문조사를 실시하여 62개의 주요 리스크 세부조항을 도출하였다. 또한, 최종적으로 FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis)기법을 활용하여 RPN(Risk Priority Number)을 산정하였으며, Critical Risk 범위에 속하는 25개의 핵심 리스크 세부조항을 도출하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 실무관점에서는 해외건설사업에서 입찰 및 계약체결 단계에서 주의 깊게 검토해야 할 계약조항들에 대해 참조할 수 있게 해주고, 학문관점에서는 해외건설 EPC/Turnkey 사업에서 사용되는 계약분야에 대해 어떤 방식으로 연구해야 할지의 방향성과 기초적 지식을 제공하고 있다.
