| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated the risk of falls and proper working areas for manual tasks with external or reaction forces based on analyses of the postural perturbation and the perception of applied forces. First, during the horizontal pushing task with a hand, the perceived forces were underestimated due to the body weight while leaning to the wall compared with the applied forces. The travel distance of the center of pressure approximated the perception of applied forces with high accuracy. We recommend a working area higher than the hip level for manual pushing tasks. Secondly, during the tasks with a handheld impact tool, the postural perturbation becomes larger at higher working heights due to the impact force, while the posture destabilized by the squatting at lower working levels. We suggest the working area at the level between the elbow and hip for that the tasks with impact reaction forces.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
国内の労働災害では，高所からの墜落・転落が死亡原因のトップを占める．本研究の成果は，主に経験則で作業ルールが定められてた高所作業に対して，安全性を高めるための理論的根拠を与えると同時に，適正な作業領域の指針を具体的に示すものである．本知見を作業現場に導入することで，墜落・転落災害の防止に大きく寄与すると考えられる．
