Abstract:

In order to enhance safety in production, a human injury mechanism of operation was studied based on the principles of human BES. A safety model for human factors in operations was integrated from biological energy and the functional capabilities of biological tissues. The energies interacting with the human body were categorized into four types: the ingested energy, the activity energy, the substance energy in production and the energy from surrounding. The way they influenced the operation safety was analyzed. Based on injury consequence state, the characterization function of human injury degree was constructed, and mechanism of human injury under the action of substance energy was revealed. It shows that the abnormality of substances and energies in production operation produces overaction in the human body and leads to the blockage or imbalance of biological energy activities, which results in biological tissue damage and loss of function. This is the root cause of human injury. The substances and energies which interact with the human body come from external surroundings and internal (e.g. the body's biological energy). All the root causes of occupational health injury and production safety injury can be traced to energy interactions. That helps us to form a unified mechanism of human injury theoretically.

Key words: biological energy system(BES), human body injury, substance energy, abnormal action, production operation
