Abstract
Taiwan employed population in optoelectronics and TFT-LCD-related industries continue to grow. An in-depth understanding of industry-related accident causes and their prevention are therefore of research necessity. By the means of exploring the mutual connection among accidents, some important factors could be observed such as (1)the influencing manner and the extent of the accident through the common key influencing factors of the accident party, namely age and experience of current position;(2)discover the truth and the root causes through the impact on the accidents by both factors; and (3) make relevant improvement/ preventive measures. This is to cut the connection between accident and its source and can helps minimize the risk on persons so that accidents will not happen again. Age and experience of current position cannot determine the accident parties’ real impact on the accident in previous studies. Most researches used them only to show the statistical distribution and curve. The conclusion focused mainly on types of work, experience process and familiarity. This study, on the contrary, was planned to remove these contaminating factors and investigate the real influences of age and experience of current position on accidents so as to identify the key factors. This study took the accident parties’ age and experience of current position as the major factors and confirmed their relationship with the accidents through four kinds of statistics and test methods, including descriptive statistics; scatter plot; analysis of variance; and regression analysis. These methods can help provide a better understanding of the root cause of the accident and confirm whether there are other possible factors or derivative factors. Finally, the results show that: (A) In terms of different categories of work, age and experience of current position vary from the degrees of impact on accidents. (B)The impact of age on accidents is divided into three stages and the accidents are influenced by physical and mental maturity. (C) The combination of the specific age and experience of current position will minimize the accident occurrence. (D) The demission rate is related to the rate of accidents thousand. Based on the concept of human factors engineering, this study gets a brief understanding of the risk to people brought by age and experience of current position, but the more profound meaning is that people with different ages and experience of current position have different abilities. If they are appropriately applied in human resources deployment and personnel security risk management, we can control the risk of accidents to a minimum extent from the source, making the staff work in a more appropriate workplace environment and the workplace safety increase more greatly so as to achieve the purpose of active safety management and prevention .
