Recently occupational hazards have become big social problems, many of which have been tended to be taken for personal problems though. And few studies have been made scientifically in this field. The study about harbor loading and unloading were made here. About 80% of labors who are more than 30 years old and more than 50% of labors under 30 have suffered from lumbago.
Before 10 years ago, the main cause of lumbago was heavy load, but today fork lift trucks are used. The vibration and the working posture and environment are its main factors.

Such physical factors in room as furniture, window, wall color and so force bring our specific feeling regarding the room, but it is quite convenient for the interior designer to know the relations between those factors and human feeling. The present paper deals with a multi-variate analys is of room-atmosphere for the combination of colors of wall, floor and ceiling plus window, and proposes the scale of those factors useful to the interior designer.
We have found that, firstly area of window relates with only feeling of opening, secondly color of ceiling has no effect on our feeling, and finally the combination of wall color and floor color has strong influence upon the room-atmosphere.

“The principle of motion economy” of Barnes is not unclear for optimal condition from anatomical and physiological points of human motion. Recently, the rational principles of biomechanical system by measurement based on electronics technique is confirming. In this date report, as first step, the suggestion of rational priciple: 15 biomechnical check points are represented, and shown to industrial engineers and mechanical engineers in case of man-machine system design.
