ABSTRACT

This study analyzed CSC(Chemical Safety Clearing-house) which is the statistical system of domestic chemical accidents, operated by National Institute of Chemical Safety. Among the total of 370 chemical accidents between January 2013 to August 2016, 13 cases occurred during loading or unloading operations of hazardous chemical vehicles. The Chemicals Control Act stipulated a standard on the safety facilities such as trenches to prevent the spilled chemical from spreading to the outside. However, the lack of details on trenches such as capacity and installation made the standard ineffective, which requires some improvements of the standard in precisely defining how to handle facilities. This study aims to present the optimization criteria used for installing trenches in loading and unloading places for the transport vehicles of hazardous chemicals and thus to contribute to minimize risk from chemical accidents in Korea.
