Abstract:

This paper considers hormesis as a valid and potentially valuable alternative hypothesis for low-dose response in the context of occupational health risk assessment. It outlines the current occupational risk assessment paradigm and its use of high-dose toxicological data in setting occupational exposure limits (OELs). This present effort is a call to science to investigate the potential promise of hormesis in providing prima facie experimental evidence for a low-dose threshold of toxic effect to chemical agents. The scientific effort and advancement advised in this piece could also lead to experimentally validated quantitative estimates of the toxic effect extant at occupational exposures in the region of the OEL.

Full text

Abstract:

Industrial hygienists can compare "total" dust concentrations to higher inhalable concentrations using a value called the performance ratio. A commonly used performance ratio of 2.5 is used for dusts found in the workplace, after results from multiple studies were compiled. The objective of this study was to evaluate the "total" and inhalable dust performance ratio over a range of conditions to investigate whether the commonly used value of 2.5 varies between: (1) dust type (2) IOM and Button inhalable samplers and (3) distance from the dust source. Dust concentrations were generated in a still air chamber using three dust types; sawdust, flour, and glass microbeads. The IOM, Button, and CFC samplers were used to measure concentrations at four locations increasing in distance from the source. Linear regressions in the form of [Inhalable mg m-3] = S x ["Total" mg m-3] were used to calculate the appropriate performance ratio, S. The intercept of this regression was forced through the origin. Linear regression was also used to examine whether the effect of distance on S was significant and a distance factor (β1) was calculated. The calculated performance ratios, S, differed between sawdust, flour, and glass microbeads, and were 1.62, 2.82, and 2.97 respectively when comparing IOM concentration to CFC concentration. Performance ratios computed for the Button sampler for sawdust, flour, and glass microbreads were 0.82, 1.04, and 0.57 respectively. Performance ratios were significantly different (p=0.049) between the two inhalable sampler types. The IOM/CFC performance ratio for all three dusts averaged 2.47 (SD=0.74), whereas the Button/CFC performance ratio for the three dusts averaged 0.81 (SD=0.24). Only the IOM/CFC performance ratio had a statistically significant distance factor at α=0.05. The authors caution against using a single performance ratio of 2.5 for all dusts due to the large variance involved with dust sampler and dust type. Distance from the source did not significantly affect the performance ratios computed under laboratory conditions. Industrial hygienists are advised to perform side by side sampling with inhalable and "total" dust samplers to create specific performance ratios appropriate for tasks found in the workplace.

Full text

Abstract:

The collection and quantification of influenza virus is important in determining exposure, and in the control of infection. There are a number of bioaerosol samplers and analytical methods available to do this, however few researchers have been able to detect influenza virus in the environment. Therefore, new samplers and methods should be considered. This study compared influenza virus recovery from three filter types (PTFE, PVC, and PS) treated with sampling air or no air, using HBSS or PBS as wash buffers, and the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit or Trizol method in the extraction of viral RNA. Twenty, 30-minute laboratory trials were completed in a sampling chamber designed to control RH at 50%. Samples were analyzed using RT-qPCR. Viral recovery for each filter type was significantly different (p-value < .0001), with the new PS filter material resulting in the recovery of the most viral RNA. Treating filters with simulated sampling air did not affect the recovery of viral RNA from the filter materials (Kit, HBSS: Air vs. No Air p-value = 0.615; Trizol, HBSS: Air vs. No Air p-value = 0.947; Kit, PBS: Air vs. No Air p-value = 0.224; Trizol, PBS: Air vs. No Air p-value = 0.1122). Using HBSS and PBS as a filter wash buffer resulted in viral recoveries that were significantly different, depending on the RNA extraction method used (Kit, Air or No: HBSS vs. PBS p-value = 0.0001, 0.0001; Trizol, Air or No: HBSS vs. PBS p-value = 0.0322, 0.499). Viral RNA counts were significantly different when using the Kit and Trizol extraction methods for all comparisons (HBSS, Air or No-Air: Kit vs. Trizol p-value = 0.0021, 0.0013; PBS, Air or No-Air: Kit vs. Trizol p-value = 0.0001, 0.0002). Our results demonstrated that the novel PS filter material resulted in the highest counts of extracted RNA compared to the commonly used PTFE and PVC, and that sampling air did not have a significant effect on viral recovery. Also, that the combination of HBSS with QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit, and PBS with the Trizol method, resulted in the highest counts of RNA extracted.

Full text

Abstract:

The importance ascribed by a nation to the subject of occupational safety and health is reflective in the growth, sustainability and the national development of an economy. Besides the economic benefits stood to be derived from an occupational safety and health structure that is constantly nurtured, there is also the human rights issue. Less industrialised nations still grapple with fundamental challenges brought about by occupational health and safety, challenges which more advanced nations seem to effortlessly address. Nigeria falls into the former category, hence, the interest of this thesis. The knowledge of this menace has been in the consciousness of stakeholders in Nigeria particularly in the recent past years. However, no significant action has been taken to alleviate the situation. There are instruments that deal with the subject of occupational health and safety but they all seem to have their attendant issues which make them either inoperable or of insignificant benefit to the situation of workers in Nigeria. The tardy attitude of the Nigerian Law makers also does not help the situation. This thesis is therefore of the view that until the period the Nigerian Government is able to get its bearing right in designing a suitable piece of legislation that shall address the challenges caused by occupational health and safety, it is possible to seek an alternative approach that shall serve as a safety net towards the protection of workers particularly those that are most vulnerable. This alternative approach that the thesis proposes is the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), a Court that recently acquired the status of a superior court of record and conferred with extensive Constitutional powers over occupational safety and health matters amongst others. It is the anticipation of this thesis that the Court shall make a positive impact where legislation had failed to succeed in its bidding.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the development of occupational health and safety policies in Ontario from 1880 to 1914 focusing on the Railway Accidents Act, Ontario Factory Act, Workmen's Compensation for Injuries Act and the Workmen's Compensation Act. Together they formed the basic regulatory framework that endured in Ontario until the 1970s.
The rise of industrial capitalism and the growth of the private market in the mid-1880s brought forward the factory system which depended on an unskilled labouring class and the use of power-driven machinery. Thus system of production created many risks for workers including accidents and diseases, and resultant financial problems caused by an inability to work.
The role of, and interactions among, workers, employers, and the state were key in determining the particular patterns of policy development. Although health and safety policies provided only minimal protection to workers, while at the same time causing little disruption to business, the policies were more beneficial to workers when labour played an active role in the policy-making process.

Abstract:

This thesis outlines the results of an occupational hygiene monitoring program implemented at Minara Resources' Murrin Murrin mine site. The research was conducted as part of a collaborative agreement between Edith Cowan University and Minara Resources, the title of which was "Establishing best practice protocols in the management of occupational and environmental health in a high risk mining and ore processing environment". To form the basis of this research it was hypothesised that chemical hazards had not been adequately identified, that existing occupational hygiene monitoring programs did not adequately quantify employee exposures to these hazards, and that the implementation of a comprehensive hazard identification and monitoring program would greatly improve the capacity to quantify the health risks posed to employees.

Green, Deirdre Renee. "Occupational noise exposures of college town restaurant employees." Thesis, University of Iowa, 2014. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1330.

Full text

Abstract:

Previous research evaluating restaurant worker exposure used environmental sound levels, but this does not take into account the temporal variability of restaurant worker exposure. To determine the actual personal exposure of restaurant workers, Quest Noise-Pro or Quest Edge dosimeters were placed on restaurant workers at six downtown Iowa City restaurants. At each participating locally-owned restaurant, workers classified as cooks, counter attendants, bartenders, and waiters participated. A time-weighted average (TWA) exposure per participant per shift was computed using both OSHA and NIOSH criteria for a total of 180 full-shift exposure measurements. Exposures were evaluated by season (when school is in session or not), restaurant type (counter service versus sit-down with bar), job title (cooks versus others), and time of week (weekday versus weekend) to characterize factors associated with high personal noise exposures. This work focused on day time exposures of restaurant employees in locally owned restaurants in a college town and determined the risks of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). The results determined if restaurant workers are exposed to hazardous noise and whether exposures differ by job title, season, day of week and restaurant type. No TWA measurements exceeded the OSHA 8-hr TWA permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 90 dBA. Restaurant worker NIOSH TWAs ranged from 69-90 dBA with a mean (SD) of 80 dBA (4 dBA). Only 7.8% of all full-shift exposure data exceeded the NIOSH 8-hour 85 dBA. The highest worker TWAs were recorded during the period when the local university was in session and at the full-service restaurants: these workers were cooks during the weekends. Fourteen TWA measurements exceeded the NIOSH 8-hr TWA REL of 85 dBA. The NIOSH TWA exposure estimates significantly increased for full-service restaurants (p<0.001), cooks (p=0.003), during the fall semester (p=0.003), and during the weekend (p=0.048). Multiple Linear regression analysis suggested that restaurant type, job title, and season have a significant effect on restaurant worker noise exposures (p<0.001). Although restaurant employee noise exposures are within the OSHA hearing conservation standard limits, this study demonstrated that 7.8% (approximately 733,200) restaurant workers might be at risk for overexposure to noise based on NIOSH criteria. Intervention studies for the prevention of NIHL need to understand the impact of job title, restaurant type, season, and day of week on restaurant worker noise exposure. Additionally, all sampling was completed during the daytime and future research should evaluate restaurant worker noise exposures into the night time and early morning hours.

Full text

Abstract:

Occupational health surveillance programs are designed to evaluate and reduce injury, illness, and deaths related to workplace hazards. In the state of Florida, there are numerous industries where workers are potentially exposed to airborne hazards from gases, vapors and dusts. Airborne occupational exposures to irritants, vesicants, and fibrogens have the potential to cause pulmonary function impairment if exposures are not properly controlled for high-level acute exposure as well as chronic exposure. For occupations that demand workers be exposed to substances known to be associated with pulmonary function impairment, respirators may be a principal method for exposure control. OSHA requires pulmonary function testing for specific substances and it is a best practice that is utilized in a majority of occupational settings and is typically included in an organizations respiratory protection program. A literature review identified that boat manufacturing, utilities, and first responders in the State of Florida have the potential for increased pulmonary impairment amongst workers. This research demonstrated the feasibility of using pulmonary function data collected for the purposes of compliance and/or best practices for workers who use respiratory protection because they are potentially exposed to pulmonary toxicants in the workplace. This research did not identify any pulmonary function deficits in the target occupational populations and it demonstrated that in most cases, the study populations had modestly superior pulmonary function compared to a baseline population.

Full text

Abstract:

Since 1984 the role of the government in Western Australia, has changed in relation to occupational safety and health. This study considers the effect of the occupational safety and health legislation using workers' compensation accident data. Academic and general staff accident data from a Western Australian University were researched. The time period is 20 years- 1979 through 1998 inclusive. 2,773 worker's compensation claims were analysed using Mann Whitney -U tests and cross-tabulations of safety prevention expenditure against the claims. The work environment provides the full spectrum of workplace activities ranging from domicile duties (student housing services) to heavy machinery work (mechanical maintenance) through to construction activity (building and operations), along with exposures to hazardous substances through research programs, and different types of office work activities. The staff numbers were 2949 staff in 1979 increasing to 6938 staff in 1998. The ages of the staff population were from school leavers to staff retirement age (in the latter years this being beyond the age of 65 years). The demographics indicated an aging workforce population with the predisposition to remain in the employ of the University for extended periods of their working lives. There were more female staff members than male staff members and a greater number of male staff hold more senior positions. This tendency was changing in the latter years. The study is unique in that it studies the topic of occupational health and safety from a 'micro' perspective of safety performance on a tertiary education work environment.

Abstract:

The following is a long-term excursus on the health of workers and therefore also on the characters who in the various periods animated the special technical-scientific branches known as occupational hygiene, industrial hygiene and occupational medicine in Italy. On the other hand, it will be mentioned how the people directly involved, that is the workers, their supporters and their own organizations, have lived and influenced the events concerning the work-health system. The aim is to highlight not only or not so much the working conditions and suffering, damage and pathologies that have characterized the various generations of Italian workers as well as the "ideas" of work expressed over time by the actors in the field, such as these have been accepted in the laws, regulations and prevailing standards and how these have been able, gradually but in a never homogeneous and definitive way, to affirm the tendency to carry out a "healthy", "satisfactory" work and also to propose the smart factory.

Abstract:

The Constitution of Georgia provides the main principles of protection of employees and employers at job places, concerning healthy and safety conditions. The paper reviews the new Laws of Georgia pertinent to labor safety, elaborated and approved during the last years. These Laws regulate social-economical, technical, hygienic and other conditions of work of employees at job places. These are Laws, destination of which to secure the workers health and safety in the present, future and must not have a negative influence on the generation. It�s indicated that at present technical supervision over the objects with increased technical danger in different branches of industry of Georgia is provided according to the Law of Georgia Code of Product Safety and Free Circulation by LLC Technical and Construction Supervision Agency. In paper are described the individual and collective protective means for employees� industrial traumas and occupational diseases prevention, as well as hardware components, used at different enterprises of Georgia. The data about occupational diseases at Georgian enterprises are given. The paper reviews the data about microclimate of the working zone � temperature, relative humidity, pressure, velocity of air stream, as well as about other important parameters of job places � dust, noise, vibration, radiation. The paper considers problems, dealing with electro safety, the reasons which provoke damages and the means of first aid in case of damages, provoked by electric current. The issues of influence of road tunnels fire safety and aerodynamic resistance with respect to air average velocity and consumption are considered as well.

A thorough review of current occupational health, industrial hygiene, environmental, and emergency management standards was carried out, paying particular emphasis to events involving wellhead blow-offs that followed the release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). As part of the study, focused methods to reduce the dangers of SO2 exposure were developed and put into action, taking into account things like post-ignition relief protocols, community readiness, and real-time monitoring. The efficacy of the suggested techniques was confirmed by comparative analyses involving environmental air dispersion assessments, occupational exposure studies, and AEGL guidelines. This study emphasizes the vital role that industrial hygiene plays in creating customized emergency management plans for occurrences involving SO2 exposure following wellhead blow-offs, improving industry standards and for enhanced protection and safety.

Abstract:

Abstract. In recent times, the importance of occupational health and safety has escalated for modern enterprises. This shift can be attributed to the emergence of the COVID-19 virus, which compelled numerous businesses to adopt crisis management strategies and embrace remote work arrangements. It can be argued that the pandemic necessitated employers to implement suitable health and safety measures in order to sustain their operations in the labor market. The objective of this study is to evaluate occupational risks, considering the implications arising from the pandemic, and subsequently assess the provision of safe and hygienic conditions during this period. It is important to note that workplace hygiene requirements can vary based on the company, industry, and job role. Different work environments will entail distinct hygiene demands, and certain occupations or industries may even entail additional risks warranting extra protection. Hence, the assessment focused solely on production positions such as machine operators, fitters, quality inspectors, and warehouse workers.

Abstract:

Abstract. It is estimated that exposure to carcinogens at the workplace are responsible for around 3-5% of the total cancer burden in Europe; this figure may be even somewhat higher for the Russian Federation due to its large industrial workforce. As most occupational exposures are modifiable risk factors, occupational hygiene and safety has a major role in primary cancer prevention. While both experimental and epidemiological studies contribute to the identification of carcinogens, ultimately the epidemiology is needed for determining the risk of individuals and populations under real-life exposure conditions and co-exposures. Occupational cohort studies are a very strong methodology to obtain this scientific evidence and with the conduct of a large-scale study of chrysotile workers in Asbest, Sverdlovsk Oblast, a blueprint has been developed on how to conduct further studies of that type in other industries. This will inform the elimination strategy of occupational cancer in the Russian Federation as well as our understanding of occupational cancers on global scale.

Abstract:

Companies can derive many benefits from educating workers on health. Yet workplaces in many lower income countries have a need for easy-to-access, on-demand health education materials. The Evidence Project/Meridian in partnership with Bayer has developed a set of health education materials for these industrial and agricultural workplaces. The materials cover important health issues facing women and men workers: - Family Planning - Engaged Fathers and Health - Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancy - Menstrual Hygiene - Handwashing These materials are designed to be printed at the workplace on desktop printers, making the materials easy to access and available on demand. They are available in English, Bengali (approved by the Ministry of Health), and Arabic. The materials, in color and black and white (to save on printing costs), come in three types: - Mini-Posters (MP), to be posted in public areas - Handouts (HO), for workers to take home and containing a bit more information - Supplemental materials (QA) to reinforce learning. Each workplace can determine how best to use these materials. The Implementation Guide gives workplace health staff and managers ideas for fitting the materials into their health promotion activities. There is also a User’s Guide for Brands/Retailers, NGOs and other interested parties explaining how the materials can be used in their workplace programs in global supply chains.
