과거 급속한 경제성장과 더불어 삶의 질이 향상되면서 화재의 위험성 및 화재 발생도 점진적으로 증가되어 정부에서는 화재예방을 위해 자체점검에 관한 관련법을 제정하고, 관에서 주도적으로 진행하였다. 이후 급속도로 증가하는 소방시설을 설치해야하는 소방대상물(이하; 특정소방대상물)을 고려하여 기존에 제정된 자체점검에 대한 관련법을 개정한 후 민간에서 화재예방을 하도록 하여 현재까지 진행되어오고 있다. 하지만, 급속히 증가하는 특정소방대상물과 향상된 소방기술의 진보에 반하여 적절하지 않은 점검자의 범위와 점검프로세서로 기인하여 대형 화재사고가 발생되면서 이에 대한 관계법령의 개선이 요구되는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 특정소방대상물의 화재발생 및 인명피해 저감과 소방점검대행업체의 독립성 확보, 그리고 소방예방행정의 정확성을 위하여 기존에 시행되어져 오고 있는 소방시설등 자체점검의 관계법령과 범위에 대한 이론적 고찰 후 현재 운용되고 있는 자체점검에 대하여 알아보고, 이를 분석한 후 개선방안을 제안하고자 한다.

The rapid progress toward the 4th industrial society has led to possibilities of fire increase. It is pointed out that, though initial fire suppression is emphasized, the current legal systems do not sufficiently recognize the importance of initial fire suppression. In order to resolve this, problems of the current legal systems and regulations, as well as fire-fighting facilities to be equipped according to the size of specific fire-fighting objects, were diagnosed. Also, suggestions for improvement were provided through comparative analysis with relevant laws and technical regulations of Korea and other countries. According to fire safety standards such as NFPA, IMO, ISO, and Russian standards, automatic fire extinguishers are to be installed as per the adaptability criteria of fire extinguishers and automatic fire extinguishers. In Korea, the "Act on Fire Prevention and Installation, Maintenance, and Safety Control of Fire-fighting Systems" cover the types and scope of fire fighting facilities that include specific fire protection objects, such as electric room, power room, and substation room. This study has identified that, in case of a place with a floor area of less than $300m^2$, the installation requirement is not clearly specified. Therefore, in this study, fire extinguishing equipment and automatic fire extinguishing equipment to be added for each sub-use application are proved to have fire extinguishing performance of Class A, Class B, and Class C, respectively. In view of the fact that, in overseas standards, all space except containing such materials as Deep fire, metal fire and peroxide, can be installed with fire fighting equipment, a legal system for specifying the capacity units of fire fighting apparatus by application is, in this study, proposed.

The purpose is to evaluate evacuation safety by simulating the toxic effects of hydrogen fluoride leaks in areas surrounding national industrial complexes and to suggest alternatives for areas that do not satisfy evacuation safety. For human casualties caused by hydrogen fluoride leakage accidents, Available Safe Egress Time (ASET) is calculated by the toxic effects quantified with the Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA), an off-site consequence assessment program. The Required Safe Egress Time (RSET) is calculated through Pathfinder, an evacuation simulation program. Evacuation safety is assessed by comparing ASET and RSET. The ALOHA program was used to evaluate the time to reach AEGL-2 concentration in 12 scenarios. The Pathfinder program was used to assess the total evacuation time of the high school among specific fire-fighting objects. Of the 12 accident scenarios, ASET was larger than RSET in the worst-case scenarios 1 and 9. For the remaining 10 accident scenarios, the ASET is smaller than the RSET, so we found that evacuation safety is not guaranteed, and countermeasures are required. Since evacuation safety is not satisfactory, we proposed to set up an evacuation area equipped with positive pressure equipment and air respirators inside specific fire-fighting objects such as the high school.
