Abstract
The present study was conducted to systematically analyze the associations among work-related factors that cause musculoskeletal disorders of video display terminal operator. Around the “man-machine-materials-method-environment” five elements, by the method of literature searching, questionnaire survey and interview, extract the related impacts of 6 dimension, ultimately 16 factors was selected as the potential factors from the 6 dimension, which were taken qualitative analysis, and then a five-level structure stratum model was established by conducting Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) theory. S2, S6, S7 are direct surface factors; indirect middle factors mainly involve S5, S8, S9, S10, S3, S4, S11, S13, S14, S15, S16; deep fundamental factors include S1, S12. The established hierarchical model provide some theoretical reference for occupational health and safety manager to improve work condition that in accordance with ergonomics, so that protect the video display terminal operator health.
