Abstract

In developed countries, the number of accidents has significantly decreased with the introduction of the process safety management system, but it has a regulatory nature and it is difficult to show the actual situation of workplace safety management. Many organizations recommend the use of process safety performance indicators to comprehensively monitor process safety status. In this study, for the application of process safety performance indicators, the related guidelines were compared and analyzed, and the method of using the process safety system of the workplace as an indicator was reviewed. In literature indicators, compliance with procedures is mainly checked, whereas in system-based indicators, procedures or inspections for a specific purpose of the safety system can be clearly identified, and the operation status can be measured and monitored. It can be seen that this characteristic is more advantageous in terms of the clarity of the supplements derived in operating safety management activities. Using this, it is possible to effectively show the level of safety management in the workplace.

선진국에서는 공정안전관리제도의 도입으로 사고는 상당히 감소하였으나, 규제적 성격을 띄며, 실질적인 사업장안전관리의 실태를 보여주기 어렵다는 한계를 보인다. 많은 기관에서 공정안전상태를 포괄적으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 공정안전성과지표의 사용을 권장하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공정안전성과지표 적용을 위하여 관련 Guideline을 비교·분석하고 사업장의 공정안전시스템을 분석하여 지표로 활용하는 방안을 검토하였다. 문헌적 지표에서는 절차의 준수 여부 위주로 확인하는 반면, 시스템 기반의 지표에서는 안전시스템의 특정 목적을 위한 절차나 검사 등을 명확하게 식별할 수 있도록 하고, 운영상태가 어떤지 측정하여 모니터링 할 수 있다. 이러한 특성은 안전관리 활동을 운영함에 있어 도출되는 보완사항들의 명료성 측면에서 더 유리함을 알 수 있다. 이를 활용하여 사업장 안전관리 수준을 효과적으로 보여줄 수 있다.
