Abstract
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.
