Abstract:
Abstract Introduction The alcohol brewery industry produces alcoholic beverages, and it has become a global industry. Brewery workers may be exposed to occupational hazard such as noise and exposure to chemicals. They might also be susceptible to alcohol-related health issues. The study aimed to assess specific morbidities among alcohol brewery workers in India and recommend measures to minimize hazards. Methods A retrospective record-based cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 3 months. The data of 115 workers was obtained and was analyzed using SPSS version 23. Chi-square test was used to find association between qualitative variables. Results The records of 115 workers were analyzed, out of which 91.3% were male and 8.69% were females. It was observed that 31.3% were overweight with a BMI of > 25, 13% workers were hypertensive, 0.8% had abnormal ECG findings, 5.2% were diabetic, 13.9% had far vision deficit, 24.3% had near vision and 1.7% had anemia. 6.9% of the workers had abnormal audiometry tests. Liver function tests were deranged in 7.2% of the workers. Discussion The workers of alcohol brewery suffer from several occupational health problems such as hearing impairments and abnormal liver functions as well as lifestyle diseases like diabetes, hypertension and obesity. Conclusion This study stresses the need for regular health surveillance of workers in an alcohol brewery to detect any deviations from heath along with information, instruction and training on use of appropriate PPE. Lifestyle modifications such as exercise and healthy diet should be inculcated amongst the workers to prevent non communicable diseases.

Abstract:
Craft brewing is a rapidly growing industry in the U.S. Most craft breweries are small businesses with few resources for robotic or other mechanical-assisted equipment, requiring work to be performed manually by employees. Craft brewery workers frequently handle stainless steel half-barrel kegs, which weigh between 13.5 kg (29.7 lbs.) empty and 72.8 kg (161.5 lbs.) full. Moving kegs may be associated with low back pain and even injury. In the present study, researchers performed a quantitative assessment of trunk postures using an inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based kinematic measurement system while workers lifted kegs at a craft brewery. Results of this field-based study indicated that during keg handling, craft brewery workers exhibited awkward and non-neutral trunk postures. Based on the results of the posture data, design recommendations were identified to reduce the hazardous exposure for musculoskeletal disorders among craft brewery workers.

Abstract:
Abstract Brewery workers who migrated between the Czech Lands and the United States existed in a complex world of fluid loyalties and ideologies that traveled with them as they crossed back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean. This article focuses on the publications of brewery workers’ unions on both sides of the ocean, as they espoused often competing and conflicting interpretations of both nationalism and internationalism. A study of these publications, which included contributions from rank-and-file union members, helps us see how migrating brewery workers and union leadership interacted with these ideologies differently according to context and location.

Abstract:
In the spring of 2008, after Heineken bought the major stake in “Pančevačka pivara” (Pančevo brewery) from Efes, and thus became its owner, the corporation shut down production in the Pančevo factory, fired all remaining workers save for a few managers, and soon after halted production of the only remaining brand of “Pančevačka pivara” which was named after the brewery’s mid-nineteenth century founder – Weifert. Thus, after more than 150 years of beer production in Weifert’s brewery, and more than 280 years after beer first started to be produced in Pančevo, the town is left without a significant industrial capacity and one of its key cultural and identity symbols. What should be cause for concern for researchers is the huge discrepancy between the decades-long endeavor to traditionalize the brewery and the culture of beer consumption and utilize them in the representation of the town as an industry center as well as a multicultural environment with an urban sensibility and significant Habsburg heritage, and the complete silence which followed the closing of the brewery and is still there, four years after the factory shut down. The paper examines how the deep, uncomfortable silence which has enveloped these events, the absence of any kind of public debate on the issue as well as the lack of any kind of articulated unofficial discourse about this loss can be interpreted. Starting from the assumption that any way of speaking is simultaneously a way of not speaking, I will examine the social dynamics of the reverse process in a specific social, economic, political and cultural context. In other words, what is the role of social non-remembrance and what can be gleaned from this non-speaking, repressing, intentional oblivion?

Abstract:
Introduction: In manufacturing companies, specifically in the brewery, there are processes that involve the handling and use of chemical agents, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), this is the reason why workers are exposed to this agent. In the studied company, an accident was caused by exposure to this substance. Objective: To propose an epidemiological surveillance program for the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases in workers exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) in a Venezuelan brewery. Methods: A qualitative-quantitative, field, descriptive, feasible project-type research was carried out, with the epidemiological surveillance program as the unit of analysis. Documentary review, direct observation and the interview were used as data collection techniques, and the observation guide, the sociodemographic form and the field diary were used as instruments. Results: The machine room has 18 workers, which shows that the workforce is composed of men over 40 years of age. Among the main causes of consultation of workers to the medical service are headache with 24.1%, followed by fatigue with 20.6% and then dizziness with 13.7%. Conclusion: We propose an Epidemiological Surveillance Program aimed at machine room workers exposed to Carbon Dioxide (CO2), since there is no system that collects complete information on the working conditions and health of its workers, thus failing to comply with the legal framework governing the subject.

Abstract:
The health risks of exposure to loud noises are a well-established fact and are widely addressed in modern industries. Yet, in less developed countries, it is thought these hazards receive less attention, both in the workplace and in private life. (1) Background: The aim of this study is to assess the occupational noise exposure in a developing country and identify possible risk groups for whom intervention is needed. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among brewery employees in Lagos, Nigeria. Pure-tone audiometry (PTA) was performed, paired with a self-report questionnaire. Personal noise dosimetry (PND) was also performed with an additional group of participants. (3) Results: A total of 458 employees were submitted to PTA. The Packaging and Utilities department reported the largest shifts in hearing thresholds (18 dB [sd = 15] and 16 dB [sd = 15] @4kHz, respectively). No significant effect of department type on auditory health could be found. PND results were obtained from 39 employees. Packaging and Sales were identified as the most exposed departments. (4) Conclusions: A healthy hearing profile was found for a large proportion of the brewery employees (91.7%). However, NIHL (noise-induced hearing loss) proportions specifically among Bottling and Sales employees were elevated.

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de resgatar, através da memória do trabalhador, seu cotidiano de trabalho na Companhia Antarctica Paulista de Ribeirão Preto/SP. Nesse sentido, foi investigado como o trabalhador foi contratado pela cervejaria e as funções que exerceu; a organização do trabalho e a divisão de tarefas; a rotina do trabalhador e o relacionamento com outros funcionários e com os chefes; o papel do sindicato e as possíveis reivindicações; a importância do trabalho executado e o significado de trabalhar para esta cervejaria e, por fim, o que significou o fechamento da fábrica para aqueles trabalhadores que dedicaram sua vida ao trabalho nesta indústria. Para tanto, foi utilizada a metodologia da História Oral, a partir da realização de entrevistas com ex-funcionários da Companhia Antarctica Paulista, de Ribeirão Preto/SP, escolhidos aleatoriamente, por indicação sucessiva. Após realizadas as entrevistas, foram apresentadas fotografias da fábrica, de produtos e algumas mais atuais do interior de outras fábricas da Antarctica, já que a de Ribeirão Preto já havia encerrado suas atividades para auxiliar o resgate da memória dos entrevistados. Os dados obtidos, a partir da realização das entrevistas, foram analisadas de forma qualitativa, pela qual se buscou aproximações e divergências, tanto de opiniões quanto da realidade apresentada.
This research aimed to rescue, through the memory of the workers, their daily lives working in Antarctica Paulista Company in Ribeirão Preto/SP. In this sense, it was investigated how the workers were hired by the brewery and their functions; the work organisation and the labour Division; the routine of the employees and the relationship among the staff and the chiefs; the role of the Union and the possible workers claims; the importance of the work performed by the workers and the meaning of work for this brewery and, finally, what the ending of the activities of the factory meant to the those workers who have dedicated their lives to the company. To achive this purpose, we used the methodology of Oral history, conducting interviews with former employees of Companhia Antarctica Paulista in Ribeirão Preto/SP, chosen at random, by successive indication. To assist the recovery of memory of the interviewed ones, after the interviews, photographs were presented from the factory, the products and some nowadays photographs from the inner part of other Antarctica factories since the Ribeirão Pretos plant had already closed its activities. The data obtained from carrying out the interviews, were analyzed qualitatively, by which sought both differences and approaches of opinions about the reality presented.

Abstract:
This chapter details the longest labor-management standoff at the Coors Brewing Company in Colorado: a 21-month strike by Brewery Workers Local 366, from April 1977 to December 1978. Like the Teamsters’ strike in San Francisco, detailed in chapter 4, this standoff combined the power of the strike with the consumer boycott and became a site of creative, unexpected coalitional activism. This chapter begins by discussing the history of Brewery Workers Local 366 since the 1960s, noting the increasingly tense relations between management and the union as well as union leaders’ growing radicalization. When Brewery Workers went on strike in 1977, they launched a regional boycott campaign, sending striking workers to cities such as Los Angeles, Austin, and Denver to build vibrant, interracial, working-class coalitions in support of the strike. In spite of this, the union ultimately lost its strike, falling to a decertification election in December of 1978, rendering the Coors brewery a non-union facility; the boycott, however, would continue.

This chapter on the landscape of the Park Royal brewery explores the tension between modernity and tradition, rural and urban, and the natural and human-made environment. It looks at how Guinness management extensively landscaped the brewery grounds and the ways in which it saw its role as cultivating a beautiful environment for business and its workers. The chapter contextualizes the Guinness example within wider debates about corporate landscapes in the United Kingdom and North America in the postwar period. It draws on ideas and concepts from geography and landscape studies to understand Guinness’s “estate in factoryland.” It emphasizes how different corporate assumptions about investment were during this period

Abstract:
After the brewery at Park Royal closed, the old buildings were demolished and the real estate on which they stood was sold. This chapter looks at the attempts to fight the destruction of the buildings by the heritage lobby and the response from the company. Guinness workers share what they thought of the attempts to preserve the brewery buildings and their feelings over the ultimate demolition. The chapter looks at the wider debate about industrial preservation, heritage, and the role of urban explorers who photograph abandoned former workplaces. The chapter shows how images of destruction help to reveal attitudes to the built environment, work, and industrial loss. It considers the ideas of smokestack nostalgia and industrial romanticization.

This chapter looks at the decisions made by Guinness related to the building of its English brewery at Park Royal in west London. It places these decisions within the context of Anglo-Irish politics of the 1920s and 1930s. Using a variety of archive sources, oral histories, and autobiographies, it tells the story of how the Park Royal site was identified and developed in secret. The chapter looks at the building and architecture of the brewery and the role of the world-renowned architect Giles Gilbert Scott. It also relates the experience of some of the early workers employed at the site during construction and subsequent production. The chapter finishes at the end of the Second World War in 1945.

Abstract:
Abstract In late fourteenth-century Lullington (Sussex), several dozen people brewed for profit. Although some sold ale regularly, brewing was not very professionalized, and most brewers in Lullington in the 1370s brewed for sale on only an occasional basis. Singlewomen and widows probably accounted for about one-third of all brewers, the rest being married women or men. One hundred years later, the brewing trade looked very different. Instead of dozens of brewers, only a handful worked in Lullington, and they often brewed “commonly” throughout the year. Among these common brewers were a few not-married women, but most brewers by the 1470s were married couples. By this time, common brewers also worked alongside other professional victualers, usually two butchers and a baker. Within a few decades, the face of brewing in Lullington would change yet again. In the 1480s, ale (brewed with malt, water, and yeast) began to face a new competitor in Lullington -beer (brewed with malt, water, yeast, and hops). At first, beer was merely sold in Lullington, but by the 1520s it was regularly brewed on site.

Abstract The year was about 1900; the setting, a North German city, per- haps Hamburg. The life of a young German woman illustrated the daily ‘struggle for existence’ — the title of her anonymous autobiography. At first the 18-year-old worked in a factory folding letter paper, six o’clock in the morning to six o’clock in the evening less a one-hour lunch break, for 6 Marks a week. The low wages and a run-in with the foreman (he didn’t like her telling jokes to co-workers) led her to a cardboard box factory — 8 Marks a week— but she was too frail for the work and was sent away. She tried working as a governess, then in two suspenders factories, and found herself fired and unemployed because the factory owner overheard her sing a crude verse to her co-workers. ‘There began now a very tough period for me’, she recalled. ‘Everywhere I looked for work everything was always taken, so that I was really getting desperate.’ At last an acquaintance found her a job at a glassworks, 9 Marks a week, though it was brutal twelve-hour shift-work, alternating days and nights, working with red-hot bottles — work ‘of a kind that should have been done by men’. The workers slaked their thirst by paying some of their wives to bring buckets of beer from a brewery. She said the work was ‘rather in disrepute with the other factory girls. The work was very dirty too; and we looked like Negroes when we went home. ... We were very ashamed to walk down the street like this, but we couldn’t wash up at the factory.’ ‘Also,’ she added, ‘I felt like a convict because at the glassworks everyone had a control number at the entrance and exit.’

Abstract: At the very end of his travel to United States, Le Corbusier conceived and designed a modern villa that he lately inserted in the third volume of his Oeuvre Complete with the title ‘Résidence du président d’un college près Chicago’ and few words below describing it. He interpreted a simple request for suggestions by Joseph Brewer, the president of the Olivet College, Michigan, into an actual commission for a new house that responded to the kind of works he expected from his American admirers. He possibly designed it in a few hours’ time from Kalamazoo to Chicago but the autograph hand-drafted plans and bird’s-eye perspective view in the Oeuvre Complete congruently describe a well-thought project showing a number of affinities with his most celebrated European houses. The villa can be considered as an aware modular assemblage of parts that he had previously designed or even built, tied together by a long and suggestive promenade architecturale, to offer the “timid” American people a sort of full scale model to introduce them to his vision of modern life. By analyzing Le Corbusier’s sketches and conjecturing both dimensions and missing elements from previous designs, a threedimensional digital model has been elaborated to virtually visit the résidence and understand its fictive and educational value.
