This study aims to investigate laws and standards(including technical guidelines) related to safety criteria for 22 kitchen machines frequently used in commercial kitchens. The study was based on literature survey, interviews with charge persons in kitchen machines manufacturing companies, cafeteria providing group meals and relevant association, and web surfing. The results showed that there are two types of safety criteria such as legally forced ones by laws and optional ones by national industrial standards or technical guidelines. High pressure safety control act, safety control and business of liquefied petroleum gas act and city gas business act prescribed gas use apparatus safety criteria, rational energy utilization act did those of pressure vessel such large rotary caldron, industrial health and safety act did those of food processing machinery, and electrical appliances safety control act did those of electrical kitchen appliances. Compulsory or optional standards or guidelines related to safety criteria for kitchen machines were presented by 22 kitchen machines. Safety devices shown in the laws, standards and guidelines were also summarized by kitchen machines and their risk factors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate EU, UK and USA’s laws and standards related to safety criteria for commercial kitchen machines. The study was based on literature survey and web surfing. The results revealed that EU has relevant directives by kitchen machines and harmonized standards according to the directives. The directives and harmonized standards are translated into the laws and standards of EU member countries, respectively. The kitchen facility relevant legal systems of UK and USA do not prescribe the safety devices or measures, but only the basic health and safety requirements. The requirements were forcefully implemented through the certificate systems such as CE(Confommite European), UL(Underwriters Laboratories), etc. Only products with CE, UL or NRTL(ationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) certificate marking can be placed on the market of EU and USA, or put into service. For achieving the certificates, all requirements regulated in the relevant standards should be met. The standards of UK and USA were presented by kitchen machines or by standards themselves, respectively. Safety devices required by the standards were also summarized by kitchen machines and their risk factors.

먹거리의 국제화에 따라 식품이나 식품원료의 수입이 급증하고 식품규제에 대하여 국제적 조율이 강조되는 등 먹거리를 둘러싼 환경이 크게 변하고 있다. 식품산업도 고품질을 유지하면서 안전성을 확보하는 것이 시급해졌는데 안전성 확보에는 미생물학적, 물리적 위해(이물질 혼입 등)와 함께 식품첨가물, 잔류농약 등의 화학적 위해분석을 빠뜨릴 수 없다. 이들 먹거리의 안전성평가기술의 대표적인 것이 HACCP이다. HACCP절차는 식품가공과 식품저장의 모든 형태에서 식품안전을 확인하는 필수요소이다. 전통적인 최종제품검사가 품질결함을 찾아내기 위한 것이라면 HACCP은 식품의 안전성 결함을 방지하기 위하여 제품계통이나 가공인자 그리고 실제운전에 규제사항을 설계하는 것이다. 본보는 HACCP시스템에 필요한 기기를 중점적으로 요약한 것이다.

Occurring economic loss of economics by the earthquake, such as Gyeongju and Pohang in Korea, interest in seismic stability of facilities is increasing. Electrical Cabinet Structure in Power Plant should be prepared for malfunctions and its structural safety should be ensured as well an earthquake event. The purpose of this investigation is to increase the seismic stability of the cabinet. Through finite elements analysis, dynamic characteristics of the cabinet were identified herein, and time history analysis was performed by converting the design response spectra. In order to improve safety against earthquakes, a variable analysis was conducted to utilize steel dampers for seismic retrofit of the cabinet, and time history analysis results compared with the response of basic and seismic retrofitted cabinets.

The purpose of the safety inspection is to identify the cause of the damage, which is the cause of the safety and performance degradation of the structures, to identify the cause of the damage, and to suggest appropriate repair and strengthening methods. In the traditional safety inspection procedure, the inspection items are selected and the survey contents are recorded in the field book at the time of the field survey. It is not easy to accumulate data and analyze these data as a single project. In this paper, we analyze the problems of the existing facility inspection procedures and conducted studies to build two-way facility safety management system for shortening the processing time and convenience of increasing the efficiency of field work and reporting.
