自TMAH大量應用於高科技產業以來,除了初期的相關資訊混雜錯誤,加上國內對新興化學品管理制度不嚴謹,導致已發生數起傷亡事故。TMAH為急毒性致死化學品且仍無解毒劑,工作人員若沒有對TMAH之危害風險與防護作更深入的認知瞭解,受到傷害的風險將相對升高。 本研究目的在於調查並分析探討某面板公司員工受TMAH危害風險等相關問題。研究以國內外相關管理法規及問卷調查方式作為基礎,調查內容包含TMAH認知評量、個人防護、行政管理、環境控制、個人行為等構面,並探討人員相關背景之影響,共計回收947份問卷。探討的主旨為瞭解第一線員工對TMAH認知的狀況,進而提供該公司對員工的訓練方式及相關改善建議。 研究結果發現該公司內工作人員,其中以廠務工程師的認知得分最高,其次依序為安衛及護理人員、機台及維護工程師、承攬商,而以作業員的認知得分最低。此外,有受過教育訓練之人員對TMAH的認知高於從未受過教育訓練之人員,且在TMAH的危害認知上有明顯差異。最後也發現,不適當的教育訓練,是無法幫助員工獲得高分的。
High-tec industries use a large volume of TMAH in Taiwan. Some fatal accidents and nonfatal accidents occurred, because of incorrect information provided by vendors and loose safety management. So far, there is no antidote for TMAH. If employees don’t fully understand properties of TMAH and how to protect themselves, their chances of being hurt by TMAH would increase. This research is to analyze the perception of panel-plant employees on the risk of TMAH. Related regulations and properties of TMAH are the basis of this perception survey, besides PPE use, administration, safety practise, and personal behavior. All the 947 participants are from a panel-plant. This study is aimed to provide the profile of how much understanding the employees in a typical panel-plant have regarding TMAH. The results can help re-design the training program and hopefully arm employees to prevent accidents caused by TMAH. The result revealed that the facility engineers’ cognitive score is the highest. The order is facility engineers, safety and health related staff, maintenance engineers, contractors, and the lowest is operators. In addition, the employees who received the training on TMAH gain higher score than the untrained employees. Furthermore, the difference between these two groups is significant statistically. Moreover, improper training program would not be necessarily helpful for employees to achieve high score.
