Abstract
The study attempts to determine the nature of relationship and impact between Ergonomics as an (independent) variable and the requirements of establishing the Occupational Health and Safety Management Standard (OHSAS:18001) as an (dependent) variable through a filed study investigating the Children Garment Factory in Mosul. The theoretical framework of the study considered Ergonomics and it investigated applications including (work task design, workstation design, design of equipment and tools, and designing the physical work environment), in addition to the requirements for establishing the (OHSAS: 18001) standard which includes (the general requirements, Occupational Health and Safety policies, planning, implementing and operating, checking and correction actions, and Administrative review). The field part of the study included the description and discussion of study variables, analyzing the results of correlation, impact, and variance of effect. The study reached a number of conclusions.
