Abstract
Studies of industrial accidents in Japanese shipyards concluded that falling and tumbling from high places were frequent occurrences, and consideration of access in the workplace was very important to prevent such accidents. In this paper, a biomechanical analysis using a digital human model has been carried out for climbing up a ladder, passing an access opening, and walking on a scaffolding, because these are thought to be problems in industrial safety, and the most suitable condition in view of body load has been studied using response surface methodology: the optimum climbing position on an inclined ladder, the preferable position and size of access openings, and a suitable walking posture on scaffoldings.
