Abstract With the development of economy and the progress of industrialization, the attention related to occupational hazards increases. Compared to other developed countries, the death rate for the manufacturing industry in Taiwan is 0.026, about 6.5 times that of Britain and 1.625 times of Germany.According to the International Labor Statistics of the Ministry of Labor, the seriousness of occupational hazards and the losses they caused are a problem that should be addressed. One of the important issue is how to provide a good prevention method to effectively prevent these risk factors.
To improve the management efficiency, this study aimsto understand the casual relationship and improvement of industrial safety issues. Based on 2015 data, the types of work-related accidents are being caught, rolled, stabbed, cut, scratched, stumbled, tumbled, flying objects, and other types of disasters. The study was divided into four stages to discuss the frequency of occurrence, the severity and solution of industrial safety accidents. First, a total of 315 questionnaire were distributed to factory workers. Second, a total of 30 questionnaire were distributed to Bureau of Labor Insurance secondary data and engineers. Third, a total of 16 questionnaires were distributed to industrial safety expert for Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Fourth, through interviews, analyzing the causes of industrial safety and the application of smart technology. The results of the study showed that: (1) The highest number of occupational hazards occurred are being caught and rolled, being hit (hit by flying objects), and tumbled. (2) The most serious types of occupational hazards are being hit (hit by flying objects), being caught and rolled, and stumbled and crashed (human hit by object). (3) The most common causes of occupational hazards were personal negligence, followed by improper mechanical operation, followed by improper stacking of materials. (4) To prevent these type of accidents, we can use the help of smart technology like mobile applications with sensing devices (to prevent being knocked or tumbled), or hand-held scanning devices (to prevent being caught or rolled), or infrared sensors (to remind the individual of negligence or carelessness). Therefore, manufacturing industries can classify industrial safety accidents according to their importance and causes, and identify products related to smart technology to prevent occupational hazards,
