[How many ergonomics interventions do we have in the field of occupational stress?].
This paper describes handling stress in the workplace from the viewpoint of work conditions and ergonomics. The term expressed in Japanese as "sagyokanri" corresponds to the term "work conditions and ergonomics" in English, which is used internationally in the field. Therefore, "sagyokanri" means considering how to handle work and stress by using ergonomics. The Japanese Journal of Ergonomics is quoted in this discussion of the definition of stress and the lack of countermeasures taken with respect to work conditions and ergonomics as they relate to stress. Finally, it touches on the SACL (Stress Arousal Checklist), one method of evaluating stress which is not very familiar to those in the occupational health field in Japan.
