Abstract

At present, the majority of the labor workers still depends on physical strength and handwork in china. The dressing system of sanitation workers are incomplete. Some functional protective design is still efficiency in costume designing. Most of the sanitation works always suffered from disease such as psoatic strain, arthropathy, Skin problems, lungs and respiratory tract. So, in this paper, from the perspective of Human Factors Engineering, taking sanitation workers as principal part of the investigation and research, taking Guangzhou area as an example, with the methods of fact finding and questionnaire survey, the author Pointed out the key points of the problem and got the survey data. With a large amount of literature and information as the research background reference, the author summarized and analysed the Clothing research methods based on Human Factors Engineering, to improve the protective dress devices and reduce the epidemic and casualty rate.
