국민안전처에서 발행하는 재난연감에 의하면 교통사고 화재 붕괴등 사회재난을 23가지로 분류하고 있다. 과거 재난은 주로 태풍 가뭄등 자연의 영향으로 발생한 반면 사회가 도시 중심으로 집중됨에 따라 사회재난의 종류와 빈도, 규모는 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 이러한 사회재난이 가지고 있는 위해성이 어느 정도인지 객관적으로 판단할 수 있는 구체적인 기준과 평가방법이 없는 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구는 주요 사회재난 중 교통사고, 화재사고, 붕괴사고를 대상으로 최근 8년간 발생한 빈도, 인명피해규모, 재산피해규모에 관한 데이터를 활용하여 3차원 공간좌표상의 두 점간의 거리(유클리드거리)로써 재난위해지수를 산정하여 사회재난의 유형별 정량적인 평가가 가능하도록 하였다. 이 결과를 활용하여 주요 사회재난 유형별 위해성 순위를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있어 국가 재난관리체계 구축 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

국내에는 가스를 사용하는 에너지 산업시설(저장시설, 고압가스 배관, 충전소, 탱크로리 등)이 전국에 산재해 있다. 이러한 대형 가스 시설에서는 화재, 폭발 및 유독물질 누출 등 중대사고가 발생할 수 있다. 또한 대기오염을 줄이기 위한 천연가스자동차의 보급으로 LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas), CNG(Compressed Natural Gas) 충전소의 보급이 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 부천에서 발생한 LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) 충전소의 대형가스사고 이후 충전소의 설치는 많은 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 LCNG/LNG 복합충전소를 연구대상으로 선정하고 기존의 정성적 위험성평가의 결과를 토대로 정량적인 위험성 평가를 표현하고, HSE(Health and Safety Executive) 기준과 비교를 통한 위험성을 확인하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze four cases of firefighter burns in various fire scenes and to find prevention measures to decrease firefighter injuries. Among the analysis reports prepared by the National Fire Research Institute of Korea from 2016 to 2020, four burn-related accidents are summarized and the main causes are conveyed. The four accidents include second-degree burns from using extinguishers during containment of fires; nine firefighters burned due to re-ignition in the LPG car repair shop; two firefighters injured with third-degree burns from using fire extinguishers during life-saving events in residential housing; and injuries from the radiant heat of the tank BLEVE near the factory fire. These cases are comprehensively investigated in their respective scenes and analyzed based on the fire site investigation reports from the fire department and related theoretical explanations of risk for each accident scene. In the third case study, some experimental research is conducted to evaluate the risk involved with the use of safety gloves. This is evaluated by reviewing Fire Tactics and Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) to determine improvements and recommendations for an efficient firefighting response. Results show that the main causes of burn accidents are the insufficient use of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety gloves, and the failure to follow firefighting tactics or SOPs. Through the accident investigation and assessment, it is concluded that to reduce the frequency of burn accidents, the performance of firefighting equipment, SOPs, protection tactics, and safety policy systems require improvement.

The flammable liquid conductivity is an important factor in determining the generation of electrostatic in fire and explosion hazardous areas, so it is necessary to study the physical properties of flammable liquids. In particular, the relevant liquid conductivity in the process of handling flammable liquids in relation to the risk assessment and risk control in fire and explosion hazard areas, such as chemical plants, is classified as a main evaluation item according to the IEC standard, and it is necessary to have flammable liquid conductivity measuring devices and related data are required depending on the handling conditions of the material, such as temperature and mixing ratio for preventing the fire and explosion related to electrostatic. In addition, IEC 60079-32-2 [Explosive Atmospheres-Part 32-2 (Electrostatic hazards-Tests)] refers to the measuring device standard and the conductivity of a single substance. It was concluded that there is no measurement data according to the handling conditions such as mixing ratio of flammable liquid and temperature together with the use and measurement examples. We have developed the measurement reliability by improving the structure, material and measurement method of measuring device by referring to the IEC standard. We have developed a measurement device that is developed and manufactured by itself. The test results of flammable liquid conductivity measurement and the data of the NFPA 77 (Recommended Practice on Static Electricity) Annex B Table B.2 Static Electric Characteristic of Liquids were compared and verified by conducting the conductivity measurement of the flammable liquid handled in the fire and explosion hazardous place by using Measuring / Data Acquisition / Processing / PC Communication. It will contribute to the prevention of static electricity related disaster by taking preliminary measures for fire and explosion prevention by providing technical guidance for static electricity risk assessment and risk control through flammable liquid conductivity measurement experiment. In addition, based on the experimental results, it is possible to create a big data base by constructing electrostatic physical characteristic data of flammable liquids by process and material. Also, it is analyzed that it will contribute to the foundation composition for adding the specific information of conductivity of flammable liquid to the physical and chemical characteristics of MSDS.

Diesel 버스가 대체적으로 주류를 이루는 일반버스들에 대한 위험도 평가결과 첫째, 순간적인 누출이 일어날 빈도는 1.4E-3/bus/year이었으며, 이로 인한 하부사상으로 Fireball의 결과를 초래할 확률은 1.7E-4이었다. 또한 그 중 CNG 버스에서 순간적인 누출이 일어날 수치는 0.002 event/year로 나타났다. 둘째, 균열에 기인되어 점차적인 누설이 일어날 빈도는 3.7E-s/year로 평가되었으며, 이에 대한 하부사상으로서 jet flame의 결과를 초래할 확률은 1.2E-3으로 나타났다. 또한 CNG 버스에서 점차적인 누출이 일어날 수치는 0.04 event/year이었다. 아울러 피해 예측 면에서 CNG버스와 디젤버스의 운송거리에 대해 화재 사상자들을 비교하였을 때, 디젤버스는 0.091 Fire fatalities/100-million miles이었으며, CNG버스는 대략 0.17 Fire fatalities/100-million miles이었다. 이 의미는 화재로 인한 치명적인 사상자수를 비교했을 때 CNG버스는 디젤버스에 비해 평균 두 배가 위험하다는 것을 보여 주는 것이고, 결국 CNG버스들이 디젤버스들에 비해 주요 화재에 대해 민감하다는 것을 말해 주는 것이다. 본 연구에서 CNG버스들의 위험도를 평가하기 위해 사용된 총칭적인 모델들과 고장 데이터들은 적정하다. 그러나 CNG버스와 관련된 연구에 있어서 더욱 더 정확한 결과를 제공하기 위해서는 향후 더 정확한 물리적인 면에 기초한 모델들과 CNG버스에 대한 자료 확충 및 데이터베이스화가 요구된다.

Objectives To evaluate the evidence supporting the effectiveness of acupuncture for facet joint syndrome. Methods We conducted search across 9 electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL (CENTRAL), KoreaMed, Kmbase, Koreanstudies Information Service System (KISS), ScienceOn, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang) to find clinical trials that used acupuncture as treatment for facet joint syndrome. The methodological quality of randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) were assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB) tool, while non-randomized controlled clinical trials (nRCTs) were assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-randomized Study (RoBANS) tool. Results Nine RCTs and one nRCT met our inclusion criteria. Fire needle was more effective than medial branch block in terms of visual analogue scale (VAS) after 1 month (p=0.02). Also, Fire needle was more effective than Ibuprofen in terms of VAS and oswestry disability index (ODI) (p<0.05). However, in the rest of the study results, the intervention group did not show a statistically significant difference than the control group. Conclusions Although our review found encouraging but limited evidence of acupuncture for facet joint syndrome, most of the studies included in the analysis were evaluated as methodologically high risk of bias. From now on further well-designed RCTs should be encouraged.

신재생에너지로서 수소에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있으나 기존의 화석 연료와 달리 수소는 연료 공급을 위한 전용 충전소가 필요하며, 이러한 인프라 확보를 위해서 수소충전소의 위험성 평가가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정성적 위험성평가와 정량적 위험성 평가로 구분하여 수소충전소에 대한 위험성평가를 수행하였다. 정성적 평가는 Hazard and Operability Analysis(HAZOP) 기법을 사용하여 Dispenser Module을 두 개의 Node로 평가하였으며, Criticality Estimation Matrix에 따라 Filter의 막힘으로 인한 사고와 고압 사고의 위험도가 High Level로 평가되었다. 정량적 위험성 평가는 Hydrogen Korea Risk Assessment Module(Hy-KoRAM)을 사용하여 화재의 형상과 피해영향범위를 나타냈고, 개인적 위험도와 사회적 위험도에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 개인적 위험도는 수소충전소로부터 약 100m 떨어진 공공시설 부근까지 추가적인 안전조치가 고려되는 As Low As Reasonably Practicable(ALARP) 구간의 위험도를 보였고, 사회적 위험도 역시 약 10명의 사망자가 발생할 사고빈도가 1E-04/year로 도출되며 ALARP 구간 내에 나타났다. 정성적·정량적 위험성 평가 결과, 공정 단계의 추가적인 안전 조치와 수소충전소 부근의 제한구역 설정을 통하여 안전성 향상 방안을 제시하였다.

Compound hazards (CHs) are two or more extreme climate events combined which occur simultaneously in the same region at the same time. Compared to individual hazards, the combination of hazards that cause CHs can result in greater economic losses and deaths. While several extreme climate events have been recorded across Asia for the past decades, many studies have only focused on a single hazard. In this study, we assess the spatiotemporal pattern of dry compound hazards which includes drought, heatwave, fire and wind across Asia for the last 42 years (1980-2021) using the historical data from ERA5 Reanalysis dataset. We utilize a daily spatial data of each climate event to assess the occurrence of such compound hazards on a daily basis. Heatwave, fire and wind hazard occurrences are analyzed using daily percentile-based thresholds while a pre-defined threshold for SPI is applied for drought occurrence. Then, the occurrence of each type of compound hazard is taken from overlapping the map of daily occurrences of a single hazard. Lastly, a multivariate assessment are conducted to quantify the occurrence frequency, hotspots and trends of each type of compound hazard across Asia. By conducting a multivariate analysis of the occurrence of these compound hazards, we identify the relationships and interactions in dry compound hazards including droughts, heatwaves, fires, and winds, ultimately leading to better-informed decisions and strategies in the natural risk management.

The flash point is one of the most important combustible properties used to determine the potential for the fire and explosion hazards of industrial material and the fire point is the temperature of the flammable liquid at which there will be flaming combustion, sustained 5 seconds in response to the pilot flame. In this study, the flash point and fire point were measured to present raw data of the flammable risk assessment for alcohols, using Tag open-cup apparatus(ASTM D 1310-86). The measured values were compared with the calculated values based on 0.78 times stoichiometric concentration. The values calculated by the proposed equations were in good agreement with the measured values.
