The term industrial accident includes the contact with dangerous materials, the gas explosion, the fire, and the destruction of infrastructure as well as the death of employees, the physical accident, the ailment, and the loss of property. This kind of industrial accident not only brings personal injury to each individual employee and unhappiness to its family but also results in enormous economic damage to the industry. This finally leads incredible bad side-effects and it also weakenes the international competitiveness of the industry. At the initial stage of industrialization, much emphasis was put on the management of physical or environmental factors; however, the emphasis will have to be given to the elimination of human factors particularly at this highly industrialized age. In this study, a strategic model of personnel management was devised and a more specific strategic method of managing human factors was proposed with reference to the occurrences of the industrial accidents. First, it is necessary to establish a total safety management system which all the employers, managers and employees should participate in, and in which all the administration bodies should cooperate with each other in organic way and actively participate in the safety management. Second, the employers should develop the zero-accident atmosphere with the management philosophy of respecting human being`s life and dignity, and should be ready to put an investment in the safety establishment. Third, the management should find out the dangerous factor through the job analysis; they should select the workers through the aptitude test; they should implement the right placement of man power; and they should carry out the education and training about the job implementation and the precaution against the possible dangers. They will also have to apply the result from the objective zero-accident management evaluation to the personnel efficiency rating system. It is also advisable to stage the campaign for the prevention of industrial accident, to maintain the zero-accident rate, and to operate the safety suggestion system. Fourth, the employees should keep the safety rule at the dimension of protection their own life and their family livelihood, and keep the safety management as part of their life by keeping it as a self-safety management throughout their daily lives. The following benefits will have been obtained if the result of this study is seriously taken into consideration. The new managerial attitudes will have been formed about the seriousness of industrial accident as a result of total safety management system; the employers will have taken the safety management as a serious routine matter; and the employees will make it a rule to check the safety. Consequently, the result of these three steps will contribute to the zero-accident and zero-calamity. This will extend to the prevention of loss of life and economy, and the increase of the morale of employees will lead to the zeal for industrial production and the elevation of productivity. All of these will come together to the secure industrial relations between the employers and employees, and will finally have competitive power internationally.
