Abstract(in English) In this research, an experiment measuring the mental workload at the elevated place was conducted to prevent elderly workers fatalities at the elevated place by using dual task method. The results indicated an increase in mental workload caused by the height was observed in elderly workers. However, it was proved that the mental workload of the elderly workers was larger than that of younger workers when dangerous factors such as narrowness of a footing board width and complication of the work were added to a factor of height.
