Abstract The research on human factor in operating performance in northeast cold region is instructive in improving operator’s acclimatization and performance in northeast cold region. Applying the basic theory and analytical method of Man– Machine–Environment System Engineering and methods from work experience summery, the research on human factor in operating performance in northeast cold region is a constructive exploration to combine theory and practice together. According to work experience, to propose such solutions on human factor as cold weather acclimatization training, improving mental quality, enhancing professional skills, strengthening administrative management, and taking protective measures, to improve operating performance in northeast cold region. In research on human factor in operating performance in northeast cold region, those measures are proposed to improve operating performance in northeast cold region, provide guidance to operators in cold region, help prevent assorted diseases, keep themselves mentally and physically healthy, and improve operating performance.

1 Introduction In China’s northeast cold region, with frigid/temperate continental climate [1], its climate has such main features as temperature varies greatly between summer and winter; strong wind in plain area and deep snow in mountainous area [2]; highly variable and dry weather with raging sandstorm in spring; short-time scorching heat and rainy weather in summer; sudden drop in temperature and decrease in

Low Temperature Acclimatization Training Organize Cold Endurance Training in a Scientific Way

As a major cause of fortuitous causality, low temperature causes frostbite and even threat to life. Therefore, it is of highly necessity to improve acclimatization training for operator in northeast cold environment. Moderate cold endurance training, to some degree, will improve human endurance in cold environment and acclimatization to cold weather; improve human proficiency in machine operating; shorten the time in which human are exposed to low temperature; succeed in fortifying human body against cold injury and maintaining high efficiency in operating.

Principals for Low Temperature Acclimatization Training

There are four major princ
