Classification and Trend Analysis of Fuel Gas Accidents in Korea between 1996 and 1999
Gas accidents between 1996 and 1999 were analyzed, which include LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) accidents and city gas accidents, and countermeasures were suggested to reduce them. A hierarchical method to classify gas accidents was suggested. Trend analysis followed by targeted countermeasures was carried out for main causes of accidents.
