Abstract

The purpose of the research 1) to study the basic opinion information and needs for health’s balance to reduce the risk factors of ergonomics of the employees in Kabinburi Industrial zone  2) to study a model development and the health’s balance manual to reduce the risk factors of ergonomics of the employees in Kabinburi Industrial zone  3) to propose a pilot approach to make the health’s balance model to the reduce the risk factors of ergonomics. 4) To assess a satisfaction and improve the health’s balance model to the reduce the risk factors of ergonomics. The research had conducted in 4 steps by using the mixed method. The qualitative method use synthesis of in-depth interview. The quantitative method was a tool for confirmation and test. The  result of  research at 1st step from sample group of respondents 392 persons found that they had their opinions  in a moderate  level  for the risk factors of ergonomic.

It was called “KABINS Model” is the development of knowledge, risk assessment activity, behavior changing, Conditional adjustment, norm of natural balance creation and self - care holistic. The experts have agreed this with high level to confirm the configuration. 3rd step was the experimental prototypes .They were tested in the experiment study area with 60 samples.
