Abstract
In this paper, we aim at the development of a bodily sensation-type supporting system for operators education by virtual reality (VR) technology as effective safety education method. In late years, accidents by human error of operators occur frequently in the work spot. Therefore safety education for operators is indispensability. First, we collected about 1000 accidents resulting in injury or death examples of operators in waste disposal and treatment facility. And we analyzed them from an ergonomic viewpoint. As a result, there are the most accidents that the hands of operators were sandwiched by some machines for non-confirmation of security. Therefore we developed the supporting system as a hand model. We aim at prevention of some accidents in the work spot by this system beforehand.
