Abstract

The 13th Occupational Safety & Health Program (2018 -- 2022) states that in addition to safety and health measures at the workplace, ensuring safety through construction management of buildings and machine design is effective in preventing occupational accidents. Therefore, the "Support Project for Safety and Health Education for Engineers and Others Engaged in Design and Construction Management" will be implemented, and educational materials related to occupational safety and health in the two fields of machine design and construction work for university students will be developed in 2020, 2021 and 2022. This paper describes the background to the development of educational materials for the field of machine design and the composition of the materials. In addition, two items, safety reporting system and the process of risk assessment and safeguarding are shown.
