Abstract

To develop a Root Cause Analysis Map which determines the cause of the accident in chemical laboratory, The Root Cause Analysis(RCA) Map for the laboratory areas was sketched from Phase 1 of the accident element to Phase 3 of the accident element, based on the RCA Map which is applied in the petrochemical industry. On the basis of laboratory RCA Map which was classified by using such method. The root causes of the 211 accident cases in laboratories were classified from Phase 4 to Phase 5 by the Cause Factor Charting technique and The cause of the accident data were inputted to EXCEL program. After that, The causes of the accident data were sorted and classified by type and each step. So 'Approximate Primary RCA Map Draft' was written. In addition, it was reaffirmed whether the root causes of 211 accidents of laboratory were appropriate to 'Primary RCA Map Draft'. By complementing the cause which was expected to cause future accidents, the RCA Map for chemical laboratories was developed. Based on 'RCA Map' proposed in this study, the causes of accidents were analysed management systems 35%, monitoring 12.2%, Human Factor Eng. 15.1% and education training 12.1% by the size of the frequency from Phase 1 to Phase 5.

화학실험실 사고의 근본원인분석 Map을 개발하기 위하여 석유화학 사고 근본원인분석 Map을 참고하여 3단계 사고 요인 트리(Tree)로 구성된 Map을 작성하였다. 원인 인자 도표(Cause Factor Charting) 방식을 적용하여 실험실 사건 사고 211건을 1~5단계까지 사고 원인을 조사하고, 그 사고의 원인을 EXCEL 프로그램에 입력하였다. 그 후, 그 사고요인들을 유형과 각 단계별로 분류하여, 근본원인분석 Map 초안(draft)을 작성하였다. 또한, 연구실 사건 사고 211건의 근본원인이 근본원인분석 Map초안에 적절한지 재확인하였다. 향후 실험실에서 발생할 수 있는 사고의 원인들을 보완함으로써, 화학실험실에 관한 RCA Map이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 근본원인분석 Map을 기반으로 발생빈도를 고려하여 사고 원인을 1~5단계로 나누어 분석한 결과, 3단계 원인은 관리시스템 35.%, 모니터링 12.2%, Human Factor Eng. 15.1%, 교육훈련 12.1% 등의 순으로 나타났다.
