This study aims to utilize the AcciMap accident investigation method to compare and analyze the causes and mechanisms of chemical and laboratory accidents, ultimately proposing effective management strategies for accident prevention. Despite the establishment of safety management frameworks through the “Laboratory Safety Environment Creation Act” in South Korea, laboratory accidents continue to occur frequently due to the inherent variety and unpredictability of hazards in research environments, highlighting the need for mandatory root cause analysis. Accordingly, the analysis was conducted using the accident investigation method AcciMap and the software tool VOSviewer. Based on these findings, this study proposes tailored management strategies for chemical and laboratory accidents. For chemical accidents, strengthening safety systems and conducting regular maintenance are critical. For laboratory accidents, implementing safety education programs to enhance researchers’ safety awareness and providing appropriate equipment for experimental environments are essential. Moreover, the study emphasizes the necessity of mandating root cause analysis for laboratory accidents to systematically identify accident causes and develop effective preventive measures. Finally, leveraging the accident reporting system outlined in the Laboratory Safety Act is essential to ensure prompt, transparent responses and structured management in the event of accidents.
