Objective:The aim of this study is to identify the domestic and foreign laboratory safety management system and to suggest domestic laboratory safety management policy priority. Background: Various types of accidents are occurred in research laboratories according to a variety of laboratory safety risks. However, there are only lists of incidents without any precise accident analysis. Method: We analyzed statistically the survey on current status of laboratory safety management of universities, research institutes, and industrial research institutions carried out by Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning in Korea. We also investigated laboratory safety management systems and safety organization carried out mainly in overseas countries such as USA, Japan, Switzerland and France. In addition, we analyze the UCLA College laboratory explosion occurred in the US in 2010. Results: More than 75 percent of 2015 domestic laboratory accidents were occurred in the field of operation management and chemistry research. Also, approximately 55% of accidents took place due to careless use mechanical instruments & dangerous chemicals. In addition, common difficulties of lab safety act applicable organizations are overlapping and comprehensive application of legal requirements. Conclusion: There is a need for laboratory safety professional organizations. Also, the high frequency of use of hazardous substances in the high-risk, such as the chemical field must be strengthened the laboratory safety management. In addition, it is needed to minimize the problems of the research organizations through close cooperation between related ministries and government support policy such as professional development program. Application: The result of this analysis might help to present a differentiated safety management policy and advanced safety management system in laboratory.

Laboratory inspection and diagnosis is a means of investigating and assessing various hazards or the state of research equipment in a laboratory, then taking appropriate safety measures to prevent accidents and injury. In many cases, laboratory inspection and diagnosis carried out by agencies are performed in a perfunctory manner that only barely satisfies the legal requirements. The aim of the present study is to provide clearly established pricing criteria for laboratory inspection and diagnosis, so as to prevent recurrence of laboratory accidents and to establish a safe laboratory environment. In order to clarify previously unclear matters, such as the lower limit for bids submitted by laboratory inspection and diagnosis agencies, technical manpower requirements, and number of laboratories inspected and diagnosed per day, a questionnaire survey was administered to agency personnel. First, when asked what the lower limit for bids submitted by agencies should be in order to improve reliability of inspection and diagnosis results and make up for the shortcomings of the lowest-bidder-wins system, 85.5% of respondents answered that the lower limit for bids should stand at no lower than 90% of the estimated price. The level of technical expertise among the technical personnel committed to laboratory inspection and diagnosis was shown to impact the reliability of results, and questionnaire results indicated a need to vary technical expertise levels depending on the degree of hazard, substances handled, and equipment used in a given laboratory. Level of technical expertise(67.1%) and number of personnel(52.6%) were shown to have a greater impact on reliability of diagnosis than on reliability of inspection. According to the results, it is determined that three persons(specialist, advanced and intermediate) should be committed to inspections, while four persons(professional, specialist, advanced and intermediate) should be committed to diagnoses. The respondents indicated a larger number of laboratories could be inspected than diagnosed per day. This can be attributed to differences in the amount of work each task involves, and the time each task takes. Assuming a six-hour work day not counting transportation, paperwork and rest, it is thought that inspection of up to 36 laboratories will be possible if each laboratory is assigned no more than 10 minutes(34.7%), while up to 24 laboratories could be inspected and diagnosed if each laboratory is assigned 15 to 20 minutes(35.1%).

A research laboratory, the facility for professionally conducting research and experiments, has different functions and forms depending on its purpose. The space layout of the research laboratory and its surrounding facilities, which are the main indoor spatial elements of the research laboratory, is also affected by scientific technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the space layout of the laboratory and to figure out the characteristics of the laboratory and its surrounding facilities that change with the times. This study analyzed the characteristics of the research laboratories focusing on the laboratory space, lab support space, and building equipments. 16 Chemical and 4 bio based laboratories established from 1960s and 2010s were choosen as the survey subjects. As a result, the following results were derived. Early laboratories had small and closed forms with customized space composition for specific purposes. It is safe in terms of security, but difficult to exchange with other laboratories, and expand and change the laboratory. Laboratories after 1990 have small and closed forms as in the initial form of the laboratories, but there have been new cases in which variability is considered, such as planning some medium-to-large-sized laboratories or planning building equipments outside the buildings. After 2000, there were many examples of the space layout that planned variability so that it could apply to various purposes. By planning a large open-type laboratory that can be used by multiple teams at the same time, active exchanges between researchers became possible, and the building equipmens were concentrated in one place to respond to future changes. In the future, it is necessary to accumulate case analysis data for the laboratories through continuous research studies, and studies of flexible plan composition that can change the offices and the laboratories used by many to the laboratory for the recent infectious disease COVID-19 will also be an important research task.

When Japanese high-quality technical personnel returned to their home countries after liberation, there was a big gap in science and technology and industry due to a lack of high-quality technical personnel. Accordingly, the U. S. military government reorganized and expanded each remaining research institution after liberation. The largest of them was The General Testing Laboratory. It was in charge of testing, analysis, and appraisal in the field of shipbuilding industry in Japanese colonial era. At that time, The General Testing Laboratory was the largest among the research institutes remaining in South Korea, but its status was insignificant at that time. The General Testing Laboratory was affiliated with a department within the Mining and Manufacturing Bureau(鑛工局). In order to revive the industrial sector, the U.S. military government expanded and reorganized this central laboratory to take the form of a research institution and turned it into The National Central Research Laboratory Seoul Korea under. The U.S. military government gave The National Central Research Laboratory Seoul Korea a much larger mission than The General Testing Laboratory, which tested directly related to industrial production. The main mission of the Central Industrial Research Institute was science and industrial research. In addition, it was in charge of guiding and distributing science and technology and helping parts that need science and technology in each important field. The National Central Research Laboratory Seoul Korea was reorganized because it was modeled after the National Bureau of Standards under the U.S. Department of Commerce. The U.S. Bureau of Standards was more of a laboratory that provided the nation's scientific research foundation than just a place to manage metrology. It can be said that the U.S. military government expanded and reorganized the Central Industrial Research Institute to take charge of such a role. Since then, The National Central Research Laboratory Seoul Korea has become a research institute that can conduct full-scale scientific research. In addition, it became the basis for Korean high-quality technical personnel to settle down stably. The National Central Research Laboratory Seoul Korea also took over colonial duties and was responsible for inspecting various materials used in industry and industry. It also took the lead in scientific enlightenment and dissemination. This shows that The National Central Research Laboratory Seoul Korea played a significant role in the industrial sector after liberation. Meanwhile, the number of technical personnel at The National Central Research Laboratory Seoul Korea has also increased significantly. Many of them were graduates of or worked there after graduating from Kyeongseong Higher Industrial School or Kyeongseong Technical College. After liberation, they opposed the establishment of national university alternative of combining Kyeongseong University and Kyeongseong Technical College. Their opposition to the national university is believed to have recognized the discrimination against professors and students from the former Imperial University in Kyeongseong University. As a result, they failed to take the lead in the later established Seoul National University. When Seoul National University was established and Kyeongseong Technical College was absorbed by Seoul National University, The National Central Research Laboratory Seoul Korea, which had the initiative in fostering technical personnel, lost its influence. However, some of them later created new careers through study or inspection in the United States, and based on that career, they entered each university as professors. Their experience would have affected the manpower they trained in the future. As a result, after the establishment of the government, the science and technology community created an environment in which people who have experienced studying in the United States can become mainstream. 해방 후 일본인 고급기술인력이 본국으로 귀환하자, 고급기술인력 부족으로 과학기술 및 산업 분야에 큰 공백이 생겼다. 이에 미군정은 해방 후 남아 있던 각 연구기관을 개편하고, 확대하여 정비하였다. 그 중 가장 규모가 큰 것이 중앙시험소였다. 중앙시험소는 일제강점기 조선 공업 분야의 시험‧분석‧감정을 담당하던 기관이었다. 당시 중앙시험소는 당시 남한에 남아있던 연구기관 중 규모는 가장 컸지만, 당시 위상은 미미했다. 중앙시험소는 광공국 내 일개 과에 소속되어 있었다. 미군정은 공업분야의 회생을 위해 이 중앙시험소를 확대‧개편하여 연구기관의 형태를 갖추게 하고 중앙공업연구소로 만들었다. 미군정은 중앙공업연구소에 공업생산에 직결된 것을 시험하던 중앙시험소보다 훨씬 확장된 임무를 부여하였다. 중앙공업연구소의 주 임무는 과학과 공업연구였다. 이와 더불어 그것은 과학기술지도‧보급과 각 중요분야에 과학기술이 필요한 부분을 돕는 업무도 맡았다. 중앙공업연구소가 이렇게 개편된 것은 미국 상무부 산하 미국국립표준국을 본보기로 하였기 때문이다. 미 표준국은 단순히 도량형을 관리하는 곳이라기보다 국가의 과학연구 토대를 제공하는 연구소에 가까웠다. 미군정은 이 같은 역할을 맡기기 위해 중앙공업연구소를 확대‧개편한 것이라 할 수 있다. 이후 중앙공업연구소는 본격적인 과학연구를 할 수 있는 연구기관이 되었다. 더불어 한국인 고급 기술 인력이 안정적으로 자리를 잡을 수 있는 바탕이 되었다. 이 중앙공업연구소는 식민지기 업무도 이어받아 공업 및 산업에 소용되는 각종 자재를 검사하는 역할을 했다. 이외에도 과학계몽과 보급에도 앞장섰다. 이는 중앙공업연구소가 해방이후 공업 분야에 상당한 역할을 했음을 보여준다. 한편, 중앙공업연구소의 기술 인력도 크게 늘어났다. 이들 중 상당수는 경성고등공업학교나 그 후신인 경성공업전문학교를 졸업했거나, 그곳에서 근무했던 인사들이었다. 이들은 해방 이후 경성대학과 경성공업전문학교를 합하는 국대안에 반대하였다. 이들이 국대안에 반대한 것은 경성대학 내에 있던 구 제국대학 출신 교수나 학생들과의 차별을 인식한 것으로 생각된다. 그 결과 이들은 이후 수립된 서울대학교에서 주도권을 잡지 못하였다. 국립 서울대학교가 수립되고, 경성공전이 서울대학교에 흡수되자, 그동안 기술인력 양성의 주도권을 가지고 있던 중앙공업연구소는 그 영향력을 잃게 되었다. 그러나 이들 중 일부는 이후 미국에 유학 혹은 시찰 등을 통해 새로운 경력을 만들고, 그 경력을 바탕으로 각 대학에 교수로 진출하였다. 이들의 이러한 경험은 향후 이들이 양성해 낸 인력들에게도 영향을 미쳤을 것이다. 그 결과 정부수립 이후의 과학기술계는 미국유학을 경험한 사람이 주류가 될 수 있는 환경이 조성되었다.

조한진(Han Jin Jo),이황원(Hwang Won Lee),노영희(Young Hee Roh) 안전문화포럼 2023 안전문화연구 Vol.- No.25

본 연구의 목적은 연구실 문화유형을 집단문화, 개발문화, 위계문화, 합리문화의 4가지로 구분하고 안전행동에 미치는 영향 관계에서 안전분위기의 매개효과를 확인하는 것이다. 이를 통하여 향후 연구실 안전 관련 정책수립과 안전교육 방향성 확보에 기초자료를 제공하여 연구실에서 발생하는 사고 예방에 이바지하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 연구실 문화유형, 안전분위기, 안전행동 간의 영향력을 검정하기 위하여 선행연구를 바탕으로 설문 도구를 개발하였다. 설문 조사는 연구실안전법 적용대상의 연구활동종사자를 대상으로 온라인으로 실시하였으며, 총 420개를 회수하고, 최종 364개를 활용하여 분석하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연구실 집단문화, 개발문화, 위계문화, 합리문화유형은 모두 연구실 안전분위기에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 연구실 집단문화, 개발문화, 위계문화, 합리문화유형은 모두 연구활동종사자의 안전행동에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 연구실 안전분위기는 연구실 문화유형이 연구자의 안전행동에 미치는 영향 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 연구실 안전분위기 하위요인 중 안전규정과 안전교육은 연구실 집단문화, 개발문화, 위계문화, 합리문화가 안전행동의 하위요인인 안전순응 행동에 미치는 영향 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 연구실 안전분위기 하위요인 중 안전교육과 안전소통은 연구실 집단문화, 개발문화, 위계문화, 합리문화가 안전행동의 하위요인인 안전참여에 미치는 영향 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합하면 연구실 문화의 모든 유형은 연구활동종사자들의 안전행동에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 안전분위기는 이들 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 세부적으로 안전순응 행동을 증가시키기 위해서는 연구실의 안전규정과 안전교육 강화가 필요하고, 안전참여 행동을 증가시키기 위해서는 연구실 안전교육과 안전소통의 강화가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 안전분위기 하위요인 중 안전교육은 모든 변인 간의 관계를 매개하는 것으로 나타나 기관 안전환경관리자와 연구실책임자는 연구활동종사자들의 안전교육이 잘 이수 될 수 있도록 각별한 신경을 써야 할 필요가 있다. The purpose of this study is to classify laboratory culture types into four types: group culture, development culture, hierarchical culture, and rational culture, and to confirm the mediating effect of safety climate in the relationship of influence on safety behavior. Through this, we aim to contribute to preventing accidents that occur in laboratories by providing basic data for establishing future laboratory safety-related policies and securing safety education directions. To this end, a survey tool was developed based on previous research to test the influence between laboratory culture type, safety climate, and safety behavior. The survey was conducted online targeting people engaged in research activities subject to the Laboratory Safety Act, a total of 420 were collected, and the final 364 were used for analysis. The main research results are as follows. First, the types of laboratory group culture, development culture, hierarchical culture, and rational culture were all found to have a positive effect on the laboratory safety climate. Second, the types of laboratory group culture, development culture, hierarchical culture, and rational culture were all found to have a positive effect on the safety behavior of researchers. Third, the laboratory safety climate was found to play a mediating role in the relationship between the influence of laboratory culture type on researchers' safety behavior. Fourth, among the sub-factors of laboratory safety climate, safety regulations and safety education were found to play a mediating role in the relationship between the influence of laboratory group culture, development culture, hierarchical culture, and rational culture on safety compliance behavior, which is a sub-factor of safety behavior. Fifth, among the sub-factors of laboratory safety climate, safety education and safety communication were found to play a mediating role in the relationship between the influence of laboratory group culture, development culture, hierarchical culture, and rational culture on safety participation, which is a sub-factor of safety behavior. Summarizing these results, all types of laboratory culture were found to have a positive effect on the safety behavior of researchers, and safety climate was found to play a mediating role in these relationships. In detail, it was found that in order to increase safety compliance behavior, the laboratory's safety regulations and safety education should be strengthened, and in order to increase safety participation behavior, laboratory safety education and safety communication should be strengthened. In particular, among the safety climate sub-factors, safety education appears to mediate the relationship between all variables, so institutional safety environment managers and laboratory directors need to pay special attention to ensure that safety education is successfully completed by those engaged in research activities.

김난희,이상봉 대한공업교육학회 2013 대한공업교육학회지 Vol.38 No.1

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current Status and practical use of technology laboratory at the junior high school in Chungbuk Province in order to give some suggestions on hands-on activities for technology education. First, concerning present actual conditions of technology laboratory, There was a large disparity between the urban and rural schools in the possession of a technology laboratory, as the rate of the schools equipped with the rooms respectively stood at 69.84 percent and 33.38 percent in the urban and rural regions. By the type of foundation, every national school, 86.24 percent of the public schools and 37.50 percent of the private schools were equipped with the technology laboratory. By school size, 35.59 of the schools with fewer than 10 classes, 62.11 percent of the schools with 10 to fewer than 30 classes and 85.71 percent of the schools with 31 classes or more were in possession of the laboratory. Thus, the type of foundation and school size made differences to that. As a result of asking the schools without the laboratory about the reason, as many as 88.52 percent had been equipped with the laboratory in the past but converted them into spaces for another purpose. When the schools that had no such laboratory were asked a question whether they had any plans to install a technology laboratory, just five schools(8.19%) had that plan. Second, as for the practical use of the technology laboratory, for what the rooms were actually used was asked, and most of the schools made use of them as Comprehensive General laboratory. As to the size of the rooms, each of the rooms was as large as a classroom(66㎡) in 62.12 percent of the schools, and their region, type of foundation and student gender made little significant differences to that. Regarding the time for utilizing the laboratory, the majority of the schools used the laboratory approximately once or twice a year, and their region, type of foundation, student gender and school size made few distinctive differences to that. In terms of budget for practice in the rooms, the largest number of the schools that accounted for 36.36 percent earmarked three thousand won to less than five thousand won per student. 이 연구의 목적은 기술․가정과 체험활동 수업을 위한 충청북도 중학교 기술실 현황과 활용 실태를 조사하기 위한 것이다. 첫째, 기술실의 보유 현황은 도시 지역이 69.84%, 읍면 지역이 33.38%로 두 지역 간의 기술실 보유 정도 차이가 컸고, 성립 형태별로는 국립학교 100%, 공립학교 86.24%, 사립학교 37.50%의 학교에서 기술실을 보유하고 있었고, 학급 수별은 10학급 미만인 학교는 35.59%, 10학급 이상 30학급 미만은 학교 62.11%, 31학급 이상인 학교에서는 85.71%로 차이가 나타났다. 기술실 규모에 대한 질문의 응답에는 근무 지역별, 설립 형태별, 성별 형태별로는 큰 차이 없이 교실 1칸(66㎡) 넓이의 기술실이 62.12%로 나타났다. 기술실이 없는 이유를 조사한 결과, 기술실을 갖고 있었음에도 불구하고 기술실을 다른 공간으로 전환했다는 학교가 88.52%를 차지하고 있었다. 기술실이 없는 학교 중에서 앞으로 기술실의 설치 계획을 묻는 질문에 설치 계획이 있다고 응답한 학교는 5개교(8.19%)에 불과했다. 둘째, 기술실 활용 실태는 기술실 유형에 대한 질문에 종합 실습장이라는 응답이 대부분을 차지하였고, 기술실 활용 시간을 묻는 질문의 응답에 근무 지역별, 설립 형태별, 성별 형태별, 학급 수별에 큰 차이 없이 대부분의 학교에서 연중 1회에서 2회 정도를 활용하고 있다는 결과가 나왔다. 또한, 기술실 실습 수업의 배정 예산 결과를 살펴보면 학생 1인당 3천원 이상 5천원 미만이 36.36%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지했다.
