In order to carry out manufacturing operations more safely, it is necessary to acquire the safety information at the manufacturing planning stage. With the development and spread of IT in recent years, the database of various industrial accident examples is built in a company and the environment which can easily browse and share industrial accident example data is developed using computer networks. However, it is very difficult to acquire the appropriate safety information considering the industrial accident cases relevant to the assembly operations.
This paper proposes a framework of information system for safety management, by assessing the risk of accident and the cost of safety. In this system, a database of industrial accident cases is introduced and integrated with the virtual assembly simulation. A planner of safety management can make the scenario of assembly operations using the virtual assembly simulation, and get hazards from simulations. Then, the system checks each case of accident using the database and show alternative measures for accidents with the value of risks and costs. He/She can interactively select appropriate measures and the system can show a statement of work to make the assembly operations safer.
