人因工程技術在我國勞工職業安全衛生之應用

The Applications of Ergonomics in Occupational Safety and Health

現代化工作場所中，勞工操作的機器、工具、及系統均較複雜，往往造成人為疏失等意外事故；而長期從事重複性工作，或於噪音及異常溫度等不良環境下作業，亦會形成職業疾病。近年來，因忽視人因工程原則所造成的職業性骨骼肌肉傷害有明顯增加之趨勢。因此，為防止勞工工作中的意外傷害與職業疾病，本所乃積極規劃人因工程於勞工職業安全衛生之應用。

In the modern workplace, the machinery, tools and the systems which workers operate, often lead to injuries due to human error. Furthermore, working in poor work environment, with factors such as noise and high or low temperature, also leads to the development of occupational diseases. In recent years, occupational musculoskeletal injuries resulting from neglecting ergonomic principles has a visible increasing trend. To prevent occupational injuries and diseases suffered by workers in the workplace, the Institute is active in developing programs in the applications of ergonomics in occupational safety and health.
