ABSTRACT

Since the implementation of the Act on Chemical Substance Management, the number of the small-scale Off-site Risk Assessment (ORA) reports submitted has been gradually increasing from 2015 to 2017. Classifying industrial categories of the ORA reports submitted by small business sites into 15 processes, 166 were found to be surface treatment (plating) and 36 were printing (gravia). When more than 2 facilities are located in the same space, the R value must be applied. If the R value is greater than 1 even if the individual facility meets the small-quantity criteria, the level-2 ORA report should be submitted to the government in addition to safety and administrative measures. Thus, this study determined R values for printing (gravia) and surface treatment (plating) processes, which are the industries that mainly submit a small-scale ORA report. The findings from this study are expected to help prevent chemical accidents in small businesses in blind spots.
