The Development of Monk’s Food Bowl Production on Occupational Health Safety and Environment at Work for the Strength of Rattanakosin Local Wisdom

This study analyzed and developed a model for
monk’s food bowl production on occupational health safety and
environment at work for the encouragement of Rattanakosin local
wisdom at Banbart Community. The process of blowpipe welding
was necessary to produce the bowl which was very dangerous or
93.59% risk. After the employment of new sitting posture, the work
risk was lower 48.41% or moderate risk. When considering in details,
it was found that: 1) the traditional sitting posture could create work
risk at 88.89% while the new sitting posture could create the work
risk at 58.86%. 2) About the environmental pollution, with the
traditional sitting posture, workers exposed to the polluted fume from
welding at 61.11% while with the new sitting posture workers
exposed to the polluted fume from welding at 40.47%. 3) On
accidental risk, with the traditional sitting posture, workers exposed
to the accident from welding at 94.44% while with the new sitting
posture workers exposed to the accident from welding at 62.54%.
