For the better knowledge to find out the possible causes of high industrial accident rate in small-scale manufacturing industries, questionnaire study was conducted with the workers who worked in the factories with high industrial accident rates
and
those with no accident rates in a defined period. Three hundred and seven workers(male : 271, female : 36) classified as industrial accident group) who selected from factories which showed higher industrial accident rate that average rate of
manufacturing industries. One hundred and fifty eight workers(male : 145, female : 13) were selected from factories without any accident rate during the same time period of industrial accident group, 27 items of questionnaire concerning to the
knowledge
and attitude of industrial safety and health were provided to all 465 workers and the comparison results of questionnaires between two groups are as follows :
1. While 50.6% of control group understood well the regulation about health and safety, only 35.8% industrial accident group understood well about the regulation and the rate of understanding of regulation was particularly low in workers whose
age
were
young or whose work duration was short.
2. While most control workers(86.7%) thought that worker's own fault was the primary cause of industrial accident, 63.2% of industrial accident group answered their own fault as primary cause of industrial accident and significantly differed
from
control group.
3. The control group showed high percentage of happy feeling during their work(42.7%) than industrial accident group(27.4%). The main cause of unhappy feeling during their works was overload in both group.
4. To the question about most important concerning topic for industrial safety and health in their factories, accident prevention was highest in both group (control group:67.1% and industrial accident group:42.0%) as a overall, but the
achievement
of
desired goal was highest percentage in industrial accident group workers whose work duration were less than 3 years.
5. The non-wearing rate of proper personal protective equipment was differed between two groups(control 8.1% and industrial accident group : 26.9%). The main reason for non-wearing of personal proctective equipment was inconvenient.
