Abstract

Workers in painting companies may be unaware that the paints they handle have adverse health effects. The present study explored the factors associated with workers' perception of paints as "dangerous and harmful". A questionnaire survey and interviews were conducted with workers engaged in painting operations in small-sized painting companies (fewer than 50 employees) in northern Kyushu and Yamaguchi prefectures. Safety and health education methods making workers perceive paint as "dangerous and harmful" were clarified. Fisher's exact test and logistic regression analysis were used for the survey and hierarchical cluster analysis for the interviews. The factor "Hazard prediction activity (KY Activity)", gender, and job position were identified as factors that make workers perceive paint as "dangerous and harmful". Based on the interview results, "KY Activity" was a keyword and a standardized safety and health activity. Before work, workers gather in a small group to discuss the dangers and hazards of paint, share information, establish action goals, and confirm safety measures. The questionnaire identified "KY Activity" as a factor influencing the workers' perception of paint as "dangerous and harmful". "KY Activity," also extracted from the interviews, is an effective health and safety education method for teaching workers in small-sized painting companies that paint is "dangerous and harmful".

对小公司油漆工进行健康和安全教育,使他们认识到油漆是 "危险和有害的"。
油漆公司的工人可能并不知道他们使用的油漆会对健康造成不良影响。本研究探讨了工人认为油漆 "危险有害 "的相关因素。研究人员对九州北部和山口县的小型油漆公司(员工人数少于 50 人)中从事油漆作业的工人进行了问卷调查和访谈。明确了使工人认为油漆 "危险、有害 "的安全和健康教育方法。调查采用了费雪精确检验法和逻辑回归分析法,访谈采用了层次聚类分析法。结果表明,"危险预测活动(KY 活动)"、性别和工作职位是导致工人认为油漆 "危险有害 "的因素。根据访谈结果,"KY 活动 "是一个关键词,也是一项标准化的安全和健康活动。在工作前,工人们以小组形式聚集在一起,讨论油漆的危险和危害,分享信息,制定行动目标,并确认安全措施。问卷调查发现,"KY 活动 "是影响工人对油漆 "危险有害 "认知的一个因素。从访谈中提取的 "KY 活动 "也是一种有效的健康和安全教育方法,可以让小型油漆公司的工人认识到油漆的 "危险和有害"。
