| Research Abstract |
A health survey was carried out in 96 longshoremen at Yokohama Port. The results suggested possible influences of labor conditions such as shift work, night work, and early morning work on physical health. In regard to influences on mental health, The Brief Job Stress Questionnaire revealed stress reaction in 27% of all subjects, indicating that the workers had a high physical burden in relation to their occupation. In addition, the results of a hearing investigation showed that awareness of occupational safety was well-established at the port and harbor as a whole, and that corporate efforts concerning safety had led to decreases in property damage accidents and physical injuries. On the other hand, mental health measures have yet to be adequately addressed.
