摘要

在台灣半導體業是具備高度競爭力的產業，勞工在此產業的工作環境中面臨高毒性的化學物、爆炸物、各樣機械設備及體能或心理需求的危害因素。本研究目的在調查半導體相關產業勞工的職業災害及探討相關因素。本研究以台灣南部六家半導體相關產業之科技公司進行調查，以公司及部門為分層，進行問卷抽樣調查，共收集1092位勞工的資料進行分析。
參與調查的1092位勞工中，29位勞工報告了44件職災相關事件。在這些事件中最常發生的事件類型及媒介物分別為與有害物接觸(23%)及物質、材料(32%)。低於25歲（每百萬工時31件事故）、體重過輕（每百萬工時41.5件事故）及感受較低安全氣氛（每百萬工時33.3件事故）的勞工，有顯著較高的事故發生率。自事件的發生危險來看，體重過輕(Odds Ratio (OR)=2.13, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)=0.85-5.33)、工程師(OR=1.90, 95% CI=0.82-4.41)及較低安全氣候感受(OR=2.12, 95% CI=0.96-4.68)會增加事故的危險。過去研究中有關勞工體重與職業災害發生危險的資料有限，體重過輕的勞工是否為職業災害事件的重要危險因子仍待進一步驗證。

The semiconductor industry is one of the most highly competitive industries in Taiwan. This study aims to evaluate the nature of exposures and sources of work-related incidents and analyze the association between personal characteristics, safety climate and work-related incidents among semiconductor industry workers. Workers from six semiconductor companies were stratified and randomly sampled to provide their work-related incidents in a one-year period. Of 1092 workers, 29 workers reported 44 work-related incidents during the study period.
Of the reported incidents, the most often occurring exposures and sources were contact with harmful substances (23%) and substances and materials (32%) respectively. Workers aged less than 25 (31 per 1,000,000 work-hours), underweight (41.5 per 1,000,000 work-hours) and with a perception of a low workplace safety climate (33.3 per 1,000,000 work-hours) had significantly higher incidence rates of work-related incidents. Although statistical power was low, elevated risks were noted in three factors: underweight (Odds Ratio (OR)=2.13, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)=0.85-5.33), engineers (OR=1.90, 95% CI=0.82-4.41) and with a perception of a low workplace safety climate (OR=2.12, 95% CI=0.96-4.68). Currently, although there is little information regarding being underweight as a risk factor for work-related incidents, this issue is significant for further exploration.
