Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with the relationships between humans and their environment, and environmental health officers (EHOs) are entrusted with the responsibility of monitoring and mitigating factors in the environment that can affect peoples’ health and wellbeing. Their work includes investigating, sampling, measuring and assessing hazardous environmental agents in various environmental media and settings.This essential service can expose them to numerous physical, chemical, biological and psychosocial hazards.

Abstract:

This research project examined the epidemiology of occupational exposures to hazardous chemicals and agents among healthcare workers in Australia and Bhutan. Data from three population-based cross-sectional studies conducted in 2011, 2014 and 2016 in Australia were analysed and a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2019 in three hospitals in Bhutan. The results indicate that a substantial proportion of healthcare workers in both countries were occupationally exposed to hazardous chemicals with exposure to asthmagens being the most common.

Abstract:

<p> Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) are devices that replace the traditional paper documents used by pilots for pre-flight planning and in-flight operations. Simulation studies have found faster information retrieval times, higher situational awareness, and reduced workload on EFBs compared to paper resources, but it is unclear whether this is true for all EFB systems in any flight condition. Archival studies have uncovered issues among pilots using performance calculation software and electronic charts due to a lack of training and modification to flight deck procedures with EFBs.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Veterinarians have considerable potential for exposure to several known reproductive hazards such as radiation, anaesthetic gases, pesticides, long working hours and occupational stress. Reproductive effects are a concern to female veterinarians, especially now that about 65% of graduates from Australian veterinary science schools are female. In the last two decades, there have been reports on the possible associations between occupational exposures and adverse reproductive outcomes in female veterinarians, but most of them have been equivocal and the whole area remains co

Abstract:

This thesis contains reviews and research on the occupational hazards of zoo veterinary practitioners in Australia. Although occupational hazards have long been recognised in the veterinary profession, little information is available on the number and magnitude of injuries to veterinarians in Australia, the United Kingdom or the United States. Apart from anecdotal accounts and some limited data, most of the available information is on occupational zoonoses, generally well recognized by veterinarians. Other occupational hazards to which veterinarians are exposed have received scant attention. T

Abstract:

Welding is a common metal fabrication process within industry. Epidemiology suggests that welders as an occupational group demonstrate slight, but significant, increased risks of respiratory ill-health. This might be expected as welding processes often present high levels of occupational exposure to oxidising gasses and weld fumes which are often inadequately controlled through local exhaust ventilation or personal respiratory protection because of high costs and the burden of worker participation. Fundamental control strategies of occupational hygiene encourage development and use of engineer

Abstract:

This study set out to determine the reasons for underreporting of occupational injuries and exposures in the American health care environment. A cross sectional survey was used to report the responses and opinions of nurses who failed to report all occupational injuries and exposures, and the type of injuries that are least likely to be reported. The participants were a random sample of Registered Nurses employed in a California Health Care Center, who responded to a simple self-reporting questionnaire. The study revealed that the majority of occupational injuries, accidents and exposures by t

Elemental Arsenic and especially inorganic Arsenic have been classified as human carcinogens, with long term exposure causing adverse effects like skin and lung cancer.

Nationally, 10,852 workplace amputation injuries in the US were reported in 1997. This number has been gradually decreasing over time to 9,658 amputations in 2000. In Florida, the amputation injuries have been increasing from 272 in 1997 to 417 in 2000. The reason for this increase is unclear and deserves further study. The purpose of a portion of this study was to examine the Federal and Florida BLS data to determine the characteristics of the typical worker with an amputation injury.

Globally, gastrointestinal (GI) infections by enteric pathogens are the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under the age of five (≤5).

Public areas in low-income settings are often used for waste disposal practices beyond human feces disposal, including trash dumping in open drainage canals and unused lots. If young children play in public domains unattended, they might be exposed to interrelated and highly concentrated microbia

Abstract:

The practice of reporting workplace incident events is adopted as best practice by organizations and complies with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates. Reporting the near miss incident type in which no injury or damage to equipment or the environment occurs is buttressed by the assumption that both the worker and the organization ascribe to the same goal to identify workplace hazards and prevent incident recurrence. The goal of incident reporting is not apparent, and the path to achieving the goal is obstructed by internal and external hazards that act to oppose the r

Abstract:

Les effets délétères sur la santé de certaines expositions professionnelles, prises indépendamment, ont été observés dans un large nombre d’études. Pourtant, la prévalence et l'impact de multi-exposition ou co-exposition à des diverses nuisances ont plus rarement été explorée, malgré le caractère ubiquitaire de nombreuses nuisances. Par conséquent, l’étude de multi-exposition/co-exposition dans le cadre professionnel est considérée comme un enjeu majeur de la recherche épidémiologique en santé au travail. Une revue systématique de la littérature concernant le secteur de l’agriculture a été réa

Abstract:

Nos últimos anos, importantes riscos ocupacionais em centrais de triagem de materiais recicláveis têm sido apontados na literatura nacional e internacional. Grande parte desses riscos é creditada à baixa qualidade da segregação realizada pela população, resultando no encaminhamento de resíduos sujos para a coleta seletiva de recicláveis. Danos à saúde e segurança dos trabalhadores que manipulam esses materiais podem surgir se as condições estruturais, tecnologias empregadas, organização do trabalho e medidas de prevenção necessárias não forem adequadamente gerenciadas. Objetivos: identificar o

Abstract:

Shift work is a major feature of modern work practices. It involves individuals working at times considered unconventional for most workers, such as at night. Although the community often benefits from such work practices, shift work can be hazardous, for both the workers and the community. The thesis reviews the main problems of shift work, especially when involving night work. These are: an increased risk for accidents and errors; increased sleepiness and fatigue due to difficulties sleeping; increased health problems; and disruption to family and social life. Strategies to limit the risk
