労働安全のための自主改善活動の学生教育への応用

The work accident incidence 11.2per 1000 workers, is 2.4 times higher in other industries. The death rate 0.6per 1000 workers, 6 times higher that than in other industries. To protect health and safety of seamen, it is important to implement international standards as well as other IMO agreements. On land, ILO-OSH 2001 serves as the indicator of the international standards on health and safety at work. The WISE (Work Improvements in Small Enterprises) training method developed with the support of the ILO has proven effectiveness, and a new training program called WIB (Work Improvements on Board) has been developed to implement an action-oriented and systematic approach for improving safety at work on vessels. The authors studied the effectiveness of WIB for students of the merchant vessel school and the nursing school. The participants 518 students of the merchant vessel school and 88 students of nursing school. Both students of merchant vessel school and nursing school understood the need for improvement easily. The new checklist proved usefulness for proposing improvements for reducing dangers at work and specific risks. The participants including the merchant vessel students could point out many improvements.
