Abstract:
High accident risk was studied by analyzing the Chemical Accident Tracking System (CATS) in Korea. At the top of the accident analysis taxonomy hierarchy, are accidents in facilities due to worker carelessness, inadequate facility management, and transportation vehicle accidents. Chemical processes were classified according to its typical components, such as transportation facility, unloading facility, storage facility, transport facility, process facility, and emission treatment facility. Each facility was further analyzed to have typical components in the industry. As a result of chemical accident analysis, the number of leaks due to vehicle accidents in transportation facilities was the highest, and the next is due to the leakage of process facilities. The following are major consequences of chemical accidents in Korea: accident frequency, corrosion, fatigue cracks, and repair work. For further study, a new hierarchical method of accident taxonomy was suggested in order to prepare effective countermeasures on how to reduce or manage chemical accidents.
