摘要

目標：為改善職業暴露評估，建置可適用於本國中小型事業勞工化學性職業暴露的資料庫，以呈現事業單位中工作者的暴露實態，並可累積資料作為行政管理與學術研究之用。方法：透過資料要項的設計、架構規劃、電腦系統選擇與程式寫作、功能設計、程式測試修正及資料庫實作等步驟建置勞工化學性因子職業暴露資料庫。結果：資料庫採IBM PC與Microsoft Windows搭配的電腦系統作為運作環境以節省成本；具備十二大類資料要項；以員工本體為核心以連結各項暴露因素；具呈現暴露實態的特別功能；實際使用所呈現的主要的問題是操作面的，而不是功能性的問題，這個問題可藉由操作訓練予以解決。結論：建置完成的資料庫，能引導事業單位蒐集完整的暴露資料，有效的掌握員工職業暴露實態；了解單位內主要危害所在，作為調整管理策略與經費的參考依據。若此資料庫成為累積彙整全國事業單位暴露資料的平台，可作為國家勞工職業暴露危害管理決策及研究的有用工具。

Objectives: This study established a database for the assessment of chemical exposure among employees of small and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan. With it, the exposure profile of workers can be properly documented and historical data can be used for administrative management and academic research. Methods: This employee occupational chemical exposure database was completed stepwise through data elements design, framework planning, computer system selection and program writing, function design, program testing and revision, and database implementation. Results: The database ran on IBM PC and Microsoft Windows in order to reduce cost. Twelve elements were included in the database. The context of all data elements was designed so that an exposure profile could be identified for each employee. Problems using the database are operational, not functional, and can be solved by operational training. Conclusions: The database directs each enterprise to systematically record complete exposure data and keep itself informed of each employee's exposure profile. The users may prioritize their controls and budgeting based on the exposure profile. For government, nationwide data would improve the management of occupational exposure and set research priorities.
