ABSTRACT

The methods of handling chemical substances and responding to the accidents vary by the types of chemical substances. As it is very harmful and dangerous in the event of an accident, it is necessary to recognize the properties of the chemical substances and to use appropriate counter measures to minimize accident damage. Education and training programs are essential to enhance response capacity and expertise, but educational programs on chemical disaster response have been insufficient in Korea. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the current status of educational programs in response to chemical disasters in several countries including United States, UK and Canada. We also investigated NFPA 472, the international guideline for responding to chemical disasters, and analyzed the roles of responding organizations along with the opinions of participants in the educational programs in Korea. Based on these analyses, we presented a consumer- customized chemical disaster response education program tailored to the domestic situation in Korea.
