인쇄기기의 경우 인쇄속도가 시간당 1만장2만장을 넘어섰다. 인쇄속도가 빨라지는 만큼 인쇄용지도 점점 고급화되고 있다. 이처럼 인쇄에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 환경은 점점 고급화되고 있는 반면 인쇄근로자들의 근무환경은 그 속도를 따라가지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 아직까지도 대부분의 업체들이 인쇄작업을 할 때 많은 노동력을 필요로 하고 있다. 기계작동시에는 큰 문제가 없으나 물건이송이나 종이 뒤집기 작업 등에서 고강도의 노동력을 필요로 하기 때문에, 남성 직원만을 뽑을 수 밖에 없다. 하지만 유럽의 경우 여성들이 인쇄사에서 작업을 하는 것을 종종 볼 수 있다. 이 같은 현상은 많은 보조기구들이 있어 여성 혼자 작업을 해도 무리가 없기 때문이다. 우리나라에서도 이러한 작업환경개선을 위해 다양한 노력들이 시도되고 있다. 그중의 하나가 노동부의 고용환경개선지원금과 한국산업안전공단의 클린사업지원, 근골격지원, 유해환경해소 사업 등이 그것이다. 이에 본지에서는 노동부와 한국산업안전공단에서 진행하고 있는 노동환경개선을 위한 사업들에 대해 알아보고, 인쇄사에 보조기기를 납품하고 있는 업체와 실제 보조기기를 사용하고 있는 업체를 만나보았다.

The research was conducted with the purpose of providing effective safety and quality control system for assistive products for handicapped those are used extensively. Assistive products couldn't be classified independently due to collision with the act of medical device and lack in legal basis. The issues about safety and quality have been solved by other legal frames on a case by case basis. We couldn't find any abroad case of independent safety and quality control policy. For the practical solution, this article suggested hybrid classification system mixed with existing policies. Each classified branches are allocated to the appropriate policy of safety and quality control so those are ease of understanding and prospect. And also a delicacy process was suggested not to leave off any assistive products. Through these suggests of the improvement it is expected that blind areas of safety and quality control for assistive products for handicapped could be solved and identity of assistive products could be established to provide product safety for handicapped and boost relevant industries.

The main purpose of this research is to identify limitations and problems in access to information using reading aids devices for the visually impaired and to suggest ways to activate the use of alternative materials using reading aids devices. A survey was conducted on adults with visual impairment in order to identify the factors of limitation in using reading aids devices. The analysis resulted in six aspects of limiting factors in activating the use of reading aids devices. The approaches for activating the use of reading aids devices were proposed by dividing them into policy and operational aspects, focusing on the limiting factors derived. Policy aspects suggested developing low-cost reading aids devices, increasing awareness of the devices, and complying with Web standard guidelines for improving the applicability of the devices, while operational aspects suggested reinforcing hearing-use functions, expanding information services related to reading aids devices, and enhancing portability of the devices.

Results : 96.2% of the occupational therapists responded that assistive device is helpful in lives of the disabled people. Especially, they responded that assistive device is the most helpful in 'movement and mobility'. Awareness on an angle spoon/fork with built-up handle and universal cuff was the highest, while a visual signaling indicator was the lowest. Availability on an air cushion was the highest, while a visual signaling indicator and a voice guidance system were the lowest. 67.4% responded that 'sometimes' they use the assistive device and 77.3% responded they will utilize the assistive device. To improve awareness and availability, 43.2% needed financial support, 32.6% needed to add insurance bill and 22.7% needed related education. Conclusion : In the future, this result will be available as a basic data for the education about assistive device for the occupational therapists.
