Abstract
This report proposes a new safety design supporting system which is called the "imformation shared development model". The "information shared" means that the machine designer and user share the information by using the latest information technology such as the database (DB) or the virtual factory (VF). The systematic cooperated safety design between designer and user was executed by sharing the databese of labor accidents or safety measures. The evaluation of safe design was also executed by sharing the software tools of virtual factory. The "development" means that the supporting system develops itself by the integration of the knowledge of safety design. The design principle of new supporting system was based on that the knowledge developed by the interaction of inside of the database and the inside of the head of the designer. The new supporting system was applied to the real production line or robot systems, and it was proved that this system has a ability to evaluate not only the validity of safety design but also the appropriateness of human sutability.
