中文摘要

A 1999 investigation report issued by the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health of the Council of Labor Affairs revealed that about 61.4% of all synthetic leather manufacturing facilities in Taiwan exceeded the permissible DMF (N, N-Dimethyl formamide) exposure limits. The investigation was conducted by surveying the exposure to hazardous materials in eight synthetic leather factories. The main purpose of this study was to verify the implementation of government ordinances and to conduct thorough inspections in order to help synthetic leather manufacturing facilities improve their work environments and protect their workers from bodily impairment. The objective is to reduce the exposure of laborers to DMF in the workplace through an integrated mechanism of inspection, advisory assistance and improvement provided by an advisory group together with the labor inspection authority. Formed by IOSH, the Industrial Development Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the Center for Environmental, Safety and Health Technology Development of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, the advisory group provides assistance to individual factories to reduce the exposure of workers to DMF. The scope of assistance covers workplace environment monitoring and management, employee training, occupational hygiene management, and engineering control. Before providing assistance to a synthetic leather maker, the advisory group gains an understanding of the status of the factory and establishes performance indicators as measures of improvement. To enhance the credibility of the performance indicators and gain a better understanding of the actual level of improvement, the labor inspectors participating in this study are responsible for workplace monitoring before and after the implementation of improvement programs by following the guidelines of ”Method 1215: Sampling Analysis and Recommendation” stipulated by the Council of Labor Affairs. Due to close collaboration via the integrated advisory mechanism and the design of a clear set of performance indicators, all synthetic leather factories have made significant improvements, and overall, have achieved an improvement rate of 65%. DMF concentration has been reduced from 15.6ppm to 5.41ppm on average, a significant difference (p<0.001) as shown in the statistical verification. In addition, the concentration of DMF in wet process is reduced by 74.2%, in wet blending by 43.2%, in dry process by 56.3%, and in dry blending by 53.4%. This performance indicates that the integrated advisory mechanism is highly effective and can be extended to other industries in the future.
