Abstract

The offshore plant crews that were commissioned in the commercial startup phase boarded the offshore plant in two shifts until the end of the project. The crews who were hired by the owner side stayed in the original offshore plant during the project. However, most of the offshore plant commissioned members who were dispatched from the shipyard were accommodated in the offshore accommodation barge. For this reason, they were exposed to many accidents since there are a lot of people staying in a small space. This study suggested a method for improving survival rate at offshore accommodation barge in terms of life safety. It is assumed that the fire accident among unfortunate events which take place in the offshore accommodation barge mainly occurred. So, this study analyzed the safety evacuation for offshore plant employees using fire simulation model based on both domestic and international law criteria. In particular, When fire occurs in the offshore accommodation barge, the periodically well trained crews are followed safety evacuation procedure. whereas many employees who have different background such as various occupations, cultural differences, races and nationality can be commissioned with improper evacuation behaviors. As a result, the risk will be greater than normal situation due to these inappropriate behaviors. Therefore, This study analyzed the Required Safe Escape Time (RSET) and Available Safe Escape Time (ASET). Also it was suggested the improvement of structure design and additional arrangement of safety equipment to improve the survival rate of the residents in offshore accommodation barge.

일반 상선과 달리 해양플랜트 시설은 발주자가 직접 고용한 인원과 조선소에서 파견된 시운전 종사자들은 2교대로 해양플랜트공사가 종료될 때까지 혼재되어 승선한다. 그러므로 많은 인원들이 안전하게 거주할 수 있는 별도의 해양플랜트 전용생활부선을 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 인명 안전의 관점에서 해양플랜트 전용생활부선 거주자의 생존율 향상을 위한 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 해양플랜트 전용생활부선에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 종류의 사고 중 가장 많이 발생할 것으로 판단되는 화재 사고를 가정하였다. 이를 위해 국내 외 규정에 근거한 화재시뮬레이션 전산 모형을 제작하여 종사자들에 대한 피난 안전성을 분석하였다. 특히, 해양플랜트 전용생활부선에서 화재가 발생할 경우 지속적으로 훈련을 받은 선원들과는 달리 다양한 직종, 인종, 문화를 갖고 있는 인력들의 비정형화된 피난 행위로 인하여 위험성이 높아질 것으로 판단되므로 생존가능시간인 유효 피난시간을 증가시키고, 실제 피난에 소요되는 필요 피난시간을 감소시켜 생존율을 향상시킬 수 있는 구조개선 및 안전설비 설치에 대해 제안하였다.
