Abstract:

Accident and fatality rates in the workplace are anticipated to rise constantly over the next few years. Extensive occupational safety and health studies have been conducted in various sectors, yet little attention has been paid to the public sector. This study aims to explore civil servants’ awareness on occupational safety and health (OSH). A survey was conducted in a public university to examine the relationship between OSH awareness and the civil servants’ safety understanding, self-preventive attitudes and self-care practices. The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents have a high understanding of OSH. A correlation analysis indicated that safety understanding, self-preventive attitudes and self-care practice have a positive association with OSH awareness. The highest correlation is between self-preventive attitudes and OSH awareness (r = .732, p < .05). The multiple correlation disclosed F (3,128) = 92.93, p < .000 with an R2 of .24. A significant linear relationship between safety understanding, self-preventive attitudes and self-care practices predicting the OSH awareness with the strongest correlation is between self-preventive attitudes (β = .29, p < .05). The findings suggest that public organisations focus on implementing the OSH guidelines and regulations to minimise occupational hazards at work.

Abstract:

As this short history of occupational safety and health before and after establishment of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) clearly demonstrates, labor has always recognized perils in the workplace, and as a result, workers’ safety and health have played an essential part of the battles for shorter hours, higher wages, and better working conditions. OSHA’s history is an intimate part of a long struggle over the rights of working people to a safe and healthy workplace. In the early decades, strikes over working conditions multiplied. The New Deal profoundly increased the role of the federal government in the field of occupational safety and health. In the 1960s, unions helped mobilize hundreds of thousands of workers and their unions to push for federal legislation that ultimately resulted in the passage of the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1969 and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. From the 1970s onward, industry developed a variety of tactics to undercut OSHA. Industry argued over what constituted good science, shifted the debate from health to economic costs, and challenged all statements considered damaging.

Abstract:

This article provides an overview of the fundamental and inherent challenges in developing a health surveillance program for a health care facility. These challenges are similar to those facing individuals responsible for developing health surveillance programs for multiple industries because several “mini-industries” exist within hospitals. Hazards can range from those that are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to those that are unregulated but pose a threat to health care workers. Occupational hazards that are unique to the health care industry also exist. A health surveillance program can be developed with focused assessment and a strong occupational safety and health program. Implementation can occur within a health care setting with the buy-in of the many stakeholders involved, especially supervisors managing departments where chemical and other hazards are present.

Abstract:

Waste picking plays an important role through resource recovery and also impoverished individuals to cope with poverty especially in less developed countries. The working condition of the waste pickers is a cause for concern as, in most cases; work without safety protectives equipment while being exposed to numerous occupational hazards. To address these health and safety challenges, adequate understanding of the pickers’ knowledge of the hazards associated with the occupation and their safety protection practices is required. This is the root upon which this study was conducted. It assessed the level of knowledge of waste pickers on occupational health and safety hazards and their safety practices in Bauchi city, northeastern Nigeria. A total of 322 waste pickers were selected from 80 dealers’ depots across the study area for questionnaire administration and interview. The findings revealed that up to 74% of the pickers are aware of the health and safety risks associated with the occupation, and 52% are knowledgeable of the measures required to protect their health and safety. However, only a small fraction of the waste pickers was found to be using safety protective equipment regularly, such as boots 8.9%, gloves 3.8%, and nose masks 1.9%. These highlight the high degree of vulnerability to occupational hazards that waste pickers are exposed to. Provision of social interventions, regular medical check-ups, waste segregation from source and enforcement of employer and employee rights by law, between the waste scavengers and their masters were among the recommendations made towards pursuing better occupational health and safety conditions of the waste pickers.

Abstract:

Health and safety of workers are the most important factors in the workplace. However, studies show that many nurses do not practice the standards despite being exposed to various hazards. The study aimed to determine the extent of work-related hazards and practice occupational health and safety standards among nurses. The study used a quantitative-qualitative approach using descriptive correlational design. Total enumeration was used. Data gathered through the administration of the researcher made survey questionnaires, then interview and observation were done to supplement the data. Weighted mean, percentage, and frequency were used. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used to establish the significant relationship between and among the extent of occupational health and safety standards and work-related hazards among nurses. The study concludes that nurses of the Region II Trauma and Medical Center repeatedly practice/experience the Occupational Health and Safety Standards and work-related hazards. Age and number of years of experience are found to influence other work-related factors and salient findings are instrumental in the crafting of the protocol. The study recommends the nursing administration should conduct occupational health and safety standards training and seminars for nurses to strengthen their awareness of the practice of occupational health and safety. Nurses should always adhere to and comply to practice all safety policies, protocols, and procedures to prevent and eliminate work-related hazards, and regardless of their age, sex, educational attainment, and years of experience should promote health and safety standards. Future studies need to be conducted with a larger and different sample.

Abstract:

In July 1998 the Soutb Australian goverment released a Discussion Paper concern ing the future of occupational bealth and safety regulation in South Australia. In examining the paradigm shift proposed in the Discussion Paper, this paper highlights the importance of workplace health and safety as public polig issues in Australia and seeks to locate the Discussion Paper within the broader context of deregulatory changes in the administration of occupational health and safety legislation that have occurred in South Australia in recent years. It identifies several fundamental flaws in the proposals put forward for change and suggests that the major problem with tbe regulation of occupational health and safety in South Australia is the failure to effectively administer the legislation. The paper also advances a number of proposals designed to achieve greater compliance with the legislation. It concludes that the major proposals contained in the Discussion Paper are unlikely to find widespread practical expression.

Abstract:

This case study provides an example of how social marketing was applied to meet the needs of business customers. Federal regulations require that all companies develop a written program to track hazardous chemicals at their sites. The HazComWriter, created by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), is a software tool designed to help companies prepare their required Hazard Communications (HazCom) written plan and list all hazardous chemicals at the company's worksite. The social marketing goal was to provide a product for small- to medium-sized companies to use for federal HazCom rule compliance. The HazComWriter is a direct NIOSH response to customer and stakeholder needs (including the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the mining community, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration-regulated companies).

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives The occupational environment represents an important source of exposures to multiplehazards for workers’ health. Although it is recognized that mixtures of agents may have differenteffects on health compared to their individual effects, studies generally focus on the assessment ofindividual exposures. Our objective was to identify occupational co-exposures occurring in the United States using the multi-industry occupational exposure databank of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Methods Using OSHA’s Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), measurement data from workplace inspections occurring from 1979 to 2015 were examined. We defined a workplace situation (WS) by grouping measurements that occurred within a company, within the same occupation (i.e. job title) within 1 year. All agents present in each WS were listed and the resulting databank was analyzed with the Spectrosome approach, a methodology inspired by network science, to determine global patterns of co-exposures. The presence of an agent in a WS was defined either as detected, or measured above 20% of a relevant occupational exposure limit (OEL). Results Among the 334 648 detected exposure measurements of 105 distinct agents collected from 14 513 US companies, we identified 125 551 WSs, with 31% involving co-exposure. Fifty-eight agents were detected with others in >50% of WSs, 29 with a proportion >80%. Two clusters were highlighted, one for solvents and one for metals. Toluene, xylene, acetone, hexone, 2-butanone, and N-butyl acetate formed the basis of the solvent cluster. The main agents of the metal cluster were zinc, iron, lead, copper, manganese, nickel, cadmium, and chromium. 68 556 WS were included in the analyses based on levels of exposure above 20% of their OEL, with 12.4% of co-exposure. In this analysis, while the metal cluster remained, only the combinations of toluene with xylene or 2-butanone were frequently observed among solvents. An online web application allows the examination of industry specific patterns. Conclusions We identified frequent co-exposure situations in the IMIS databank. Using the spectrome approach, we revealed global combination patterns and the agents most often implicated. Future work should endeavor to explore the toxicological effects of prevalent combinations of exposures on workers’ health to prioritize research and prevention efforts.

Abstract:

Every year since the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) was created, there have been hundreds of personal injury lawsuits that identify hazardous workplace machinery conditions or hazardous facility circumstances. These lawsuits are third-party personal litigations against the manufacturer or the premises owner whose product or property was inherently dangerous. These hazards were the cause of crippling injury or death of workers.

Abstract:

The current situation regarding Occupational Health and Safety in Macedonian companies and institutions is not satisfying. Very often these issues are neglected by the management. There is also a lack of transparency in terms of accident reporting. Therefore, Macedonia is far behind the EU average in terms of registered injures at works. This paper deals with some of the most frequent barriers and irregularities in this field, by analyzing the results from the survey conducted among the employees in Macedonian companies and institutions. The participants are divided into 3 groups - public entities and state administration, large companies and small and medium enterprises. The survey outcome indicates that the awareness, transparency as well as investments in this area are still not sufficient. Moreover, there is a lack of skilled and trained professionals in this field, especially in state-owned entities.

Abstract:

Occupational audiologists have a crisis in their profession and need advocates. These audiologists are primarily responsible for industrial hearing conservation programs and their compliance with multiple regulations, such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the Federal Railroad Administration. Occupational hearing programs, for the most part, are multi-state programs as companies and corporations are national organizations. Also, companies may contract services across state lines as local services may not be desired or available. Individual state telepractice regulations require audiologists who are professionally supervising these programs via the internet and phone, to secure licensure in each state. For this licensure redundancy, the cost in time and tracking are enormous. It is imperative that the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), secure multistate licensure for speech-language pathologists and audiologists. For the profession of occupational audiology, it is essential.Keywords: Licensure, Occupational audiologists, Telehealth, Telepractice

Abstract:

Abstract Harm is more likely to result from errors in intravenous (IV) administration than through any other routes of administration. Infusion therapies are delivered in a variety of settings every day, including hospitals, home care settings, long-term care facilities, occupational health facilities, outpatient clinics, and physician offices. Understanding the basic principles of patient safety and developing strategies to reduce risk and severity are critical to improving the safety of IV medication administration. Consistent implementation of accepted strategies to prevent error is long overdue in the practice of IV medication administration. This article challenges the reader to develop a better understanding of patient-safety science, thoroughly investigate the causes of IV medication administration errors, and develop processes to mitigate the recurrence of similar errors.

Abstract:

Every construction project, whether high-tech or simple, certainly has risks in its implementation process, therefore it is necessary to establish an Occupational Safety and Health Management System to minimize Occupational Safety and Health (K3) risks, but there are still many construction companies that are lacking in identifying K3 risks. and implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK3) in the process of implementing a construction project. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of OSH risk based on work items, as well as to measure the level of implementation of SMK3 in a construction project. In this research, the object of the case study is the construction project of the Administration Office Building at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali, during the lower structure work. After carrying out risk identification, 35 risk questions and 5 jobs are obtained, namely Borepile, Pilecap, Pendestal Column, Sloff, Roof Frame, then the results of the identification are processed and the risk level is obtained from the implementation of the Administration Office Building Construction Project at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali. Enter the Medium Category with a risk value of 8.69, while for the implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK) the Administration Office Building Construction Project at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali is included in the good category with a total application value of 83%. Hopefully this research can become a reference in identifying K3 risks and a reference in implementing the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK).

Abstract:

The passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 brought unprecedented changes in US workplaces, and the activities of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have contributed to a significant reduction in work-related deaths, injuries, and illnesses. Despite this, millions of workers are injured annually, and thousands killed. To reduce the toll, OSHA needs greater resources, a new standard-setting process, increased civil and criminal penalties, full coverage for all workers, and stronger whistleblower protections. Workers should not be injured or made sick by their jobs. To eliminate work injuries and illnesses, we must remake and modernize OSHA and restructure the relationship of employers and workers with the agency and each other. This includes changing the expectation of what employers must do to protect workers and implementing a requirement that firms have a “duty of care” to protect all people who may be harmed by their activities. Only by making major changes can we ensure that every worker leaves work as healthy as they were when their work shift began.

Abstract:

In this research, it is aimed to study the role of the university managers at two universities in promoting occupational safety and health by revealing whether there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05=*). The researchers have looked at the role of university management in promoting safety and occupational health by looking at the following variables: sex, experience, and employability. The descriptive analytical approach has been used, and the developed questionnaire consists of 40 paragraphs, divided into four areas. The sample study has been randomly selected from the original research community, with the proportion of 14%. The number of administrators and faculty members, who have been asked to fill up the questionnaire, has been 210 persons. The researchers have made sure that data variables are honest and stable. Results have been analyzed by using the SPSS program. The have reached many results and recommendations, and the most important ones are the following two: There must be a policy of awareness and guidance as well as adoption of specialized methods in occupational safety and health matters that promote the promotion of workers in the culture of occupational safety and health in order to take preventive measures, proper work and an appropriate educational environment in the mentioned universities. It is also urgent to form specialized committees in occupational safety and health to work on a clear policy with the preparation of crisis and disaster management plans mediated by a specified and experienced Committee and work on its application in the university institutions, especially nowadays under the Corona pandemic.

Abstract:

Abstract: In recent years, the emergence of the "Fourth Industrial Revolution", commonly referred to as Industry 4.0, has been propelled by the global surge in consumer goods demand and the imperative for environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices. The fourth technological revolution, commonly referred to as Industry 4.0, is characterized by the heightened utilization of computers and robotics. The primary objective of this revolution is to enhance the caliber, efficacy, and versatility of industrial production. As a consequence of this prevailing inclination, there shall arise alterations in the manner by which tasks are structured and executed, potentially engendering an impact upon the overall welfare of employees. Should the technologies propelling the advent of Industry 4.0 continue to evolve in isolated compartments, with enterprises' operations remaining segregated and disjointed, the attendant hazards shall escalate, thereby culminating in an overall detrimental effect on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). The potential compromise of the advancements achieved in the proactive administration of occupational health and safety may arise when substantial modifications are implemented. In order to avert the potential clash between technological advancement and occupational health and safety, it is imperative that a collaborative effort be undertaken by researchers, field specialists, and industry professionals. This collective endeavor aims to facilitate a seamless transition towards the era of Industry 4.0.

Abstract:

Migrant workers in China are a distinctive group due to the existence of the hukou system under which they continue to face restrictions on housing, education, and health care in urban areas. The equal employment legislation does not solve the discrimination problems. Compared with their urban counterparts, migrant workers are more vulnerable, in terms of both precarity of employment and the occupational hazards that they are exposed to, and badly need OHS protection. Any weakness of OHS regime will have a disproportionately adverse effect on migrant workers. China’s OHS regime has been through constant evolution. The old prevention structure, which separated occupational health from occupational safety, was proved to be less effective in protecting migrant workers. In recognition of its deficiencies, China’s top legislature made adjustments to the OHS legal framework by enacting and updating a series of laws. The new prevention structure, unifying the occupational health administration and the occupational safety administration, represents a step forward in terms of OHS protection for migrant workers. According to worker citizenship theory, China’s OHS regime can be categorized as a direct state regulation model. It carries with it both the strengths and weaknesses of direct state regulation models. On the participation rights dimension, the lack of consultative joint OHS committees and the lack of effective collective bargaining shut migrant workers out from the decision-making process on OHS matters. On the social rights dimension, the gendered and aged-based approach becomes a hindrance for female migrant workers and young migrant workers. Furthermore, levels of enforcement vary considerably across different periods and areas, subject to the ever-changing priorities on the government’s agenda. Migrant workers are still facing tremendous obstacles and challenges in obtaining access to adequate protection under the current OHS regime in China. Future reform measures should focus on delivering OHS protection for migrant workers in the informal sector, strengthening participation, and centralizing OHS administration, especially enforcement.

Abstract:

The U.S. health care system is in the beginning of a crisis that can barely be comprehended. If projections are accurate, the demand for nurses will increase 40% and a 400,000-hour full-time equivalent registered nurse shortfall will occur by 2020. Not only are nurses leaving the field, but fewer candidates are entering. The reasons are unclear, but research has shown that nursing is a dangerous occupation—four times more dangerous than most other occupations. Protection from an unsafe workplace is guaranteed under Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, and many national and international groups call for zero tolerance of workplace violence. Health care worksites must develop specific plans to minimize and prevent workplace violence. Additional research is necessary to determine which methods are most effective. This article examines the necessary components of a workplace violence prevention program.
