CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS, EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND PLANNING FOR AN INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

摘要

In the multidisciplinary safety research with Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA), we are developing, in the framework of a GIS-based, Integrated Risk Management System (IRMS), which is the wholly integrated system including Process information management, hazard identification, risk assessment, worst-case accident scenarios selection and emergency response planning. It is based on database system (of process information, layout, probability, etc.) and GIS of chemical plant complex in Korea, so its output can be expressed in both quantitatively and qualitatively and displayed on the digital map. In case of an emergency, escape routes for local residents and approach routes for fire engines and rescue teams are indicated for better control and management of the accident. In this paper, we emphasize the importance of integrated risk management by presenting on our experiences in designing and implementing the IRMS.
