Abstract

Recently, as the collaborative robot has been introduced into the domestic industrial robot market, it is installed mainly in the manufacturing industry. Collaborative robots are subject to the safety regulations of industrial robots by Article 93 of the Safety Inspection of the Industrial Safety and Health Act. The sites where collaborative robots are to be installed must perform risk assessments for robots-humans, work environments, and work methods and reduce the risks according to ISO 10218-2 and ISO 12100. On the other hand, because it is early in the introduction of collaborative robots, new risks for collaborative robots have not been issued, and risk assessments are unfamiliar and difficult to apply in the workplace. The risk assessment of collaborative robots aims to identify and reduce the risk of a high probability of occurrence by focusing on the abnormal behavior of humans, human errors, equipment defects, and interlock functions. In this study, a risk assessment was applied to a domestic automobile parts production plant, and improvement measures were drawn. This risk assessment is expected to be useful for improving the safety of small businesses by continuously discovering risk assessment examples of collaborative robots.

최근 국내에도 협동로봇이 산업용로봇 시장에 진입하면서 제조업을 중심으로 설치되고 있으나 산업안전보건법 제93조 안전검사에 따른 산업용로봇의 안전규제를 그대로 적용받고 있어 안전보호 대책인 펜스와 매트를 설치하여야 하는 상황이었다. 협동로봇을 설치할 사업장은 ISO 10218-2과 ISO 12100에 따라 로봇-인간, 작업환경, 작업방식에 대한 위험성평가를 실시하고 위험도를 낮추어야 한다. 그러나, 국내 산업현장에 협동로봇의 도입 초기인 관계로 협동로봇에 대한 새로운 위험성도 알려지지 않고 있으며 위험성평가도 활성화되지 않아 사업장에서는 위험성평가가 낯설고 어렵게 받아들여지고 있다. 협동로봇의 위험성평가는 로봇과 인간이 공존하는 개념에서 출발해서 작업자의 이상행동, 인적 오류, 설비결함, 인터록 기능에 초점을 맞춰 실제 일어날 가능성이 높은 위험을 발굴하고 개선하는데 그 목적이 있으며 본 연구는 국내 자동차부품 제조업에 적용된 사례를 통해 입증하고자 하였다. 향후에도 협동로봇의 위험성평가를 다양한 공정 및 작업에 대해 사례 발굴함으로써 중소기업의 안전성 향상에 유용할 것으로 기대한다.
