An accurate diagnosis of occupational allergic respiratory diseases is crucial because they are related to disability, loss of work and worsening of psychosocial and economic status of workers. Early diagnosis is therefore essential to prevent the progression of allergic respiratory diseases and to implement preventive measures. The most frequent occupational allergic respiratory diseases are asthma (OA) and rhinitis (OR), less frequently hypersensitivity pneumonia (HP) and non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (NAEB).

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are the most common source of occupational health problems in Western countries. In Spain, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) can be reported either as accidents or occupational diseases. When reported as an occupational disease, a full diagnosis is performed, as the compensation system needs the approval of the social security authority and a mandatory investigation has to be performed. Although many methods are available for investigating the causes of occupational accidents, occupational diseases have not been analysed with the same depth, and there is a lack o

Abstract:
AbstractUnsafe and unhealthy working conditions contribute to more than 2.3 million deaths globally each year. Vision Zero (VZ) in workplaces presents the challenge to prevent all serious accidents and work-related sickness and disease. Companies and other organizations play a key role, in the development and implementation of VZ, and are supported by international organizations such as the International Labour Organization and the International Social Security Association (ISSA). VZ in workplaces has a long history and several roots, which explain the variety in its application. It is both conceptually and practically closely associated with the development of a broad prevention culture, focusing on the safety, health, and well-being of the workforce as an integrated part of business. VZ in workplaces has developed quickly since the Seoul Declaration (2008), whereby global occupational safety and health leaders and representatives of national governments expressed their will to create a worldwide culture of prevention. In particular, the ISSA launched a global VZ strategy and campaign in 2017, which now (in 2021) runs in more than 80 countries. VZ policies and strategies for both road traffic and workplaces are overlapping and can strengthen each other, as roads are an important place of work in many jobs. The implementation of VZ in workplaces should be regarded as a commitment strategy, based on genuine commitment of both top leaders and all personnel. It is important that VZ in workplaces is understood as a vision and a long-term ambition, not as a target. Proactive leading indicators are therefore more important for VZ than lagging indicators, such as accident frequencies.

Abstract:
Work-related asthma is a common condition that affects men and women who work in a wide range of industries. Adults can develop new-onset asthma after a latency period of months to years of exposure where they become immunologically sensitized or after an acute exposure that causes bronchial wall damage. Adults can also experience the aggravation of pre-existing asthma that may have developed in childhood but becomes worse after exposure at work to respiratory irritants. Exposure to over 300 substances., including chemicals, metals, insects, animals, plants, or fungi, have been identified that cause new-onset asthma. There are thousands of substances, as well as cold air or stress, that can aggravate pre-existing asthma. Guidelines have been developed for prompt recognition and diagnosis of work-related asthma because ongoing exposure after the onset of asthma symptoms is associated with a poorer prognosis. Both primary and secondary prevention have a role in reducing the occurrence and morbidity of the condition. The field has continued to advance with the recognition of an increased number of etiological agents, an understanding of the pathophysiology, an understanding of the prognosis and factors associated with a better prognosis, and the initiation of work on the interaction with genetic variability. Awareness of the disease by clinicians and the promulgation of allowable air standards by regulatory agencies that protect against the development of asthma at work will be essential to reduce the burden of this disease.

Abstract:
In most industrialized countries, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a major occupational health problem resulting in productivity loss, employee absenteeism, and high workers’ compensation and healthcare costs. Understanding the etiology and control of WMSDs and associated risk factors is imperative for reducing the burden of this problem. This chapter is organized by five topics on WMSDs: (1) the problem and surveillance of WMSDs; (2) the etiology of WMSDs and their risk factors; (3) risk assessment methods for job-related physical risk factors; (4) risk intervention effectiveness; and (5) ergonomic guidelines and standards for the prevention of WMSDs. The authors focus on the breadth of the scientific knowledge and literature pertaining to WMSDs for occupational safety and health professionals interested in learning about the field of ergonomics. This chapter also provides anticipated future challenges in the areas of surveillance, risk interactions, risk assessments, and intervention evaluations. The research agenda for WMSDs published by the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Musculoskeletal Health Cross-Sector (MUS) Council in 2018 is recommended as supplementary reading for the future direction of WMSD research.

Abstract:
Abstract Workers involved in the manufacture of zinc and lead chromate pigments drew the attention of the occupational physician to several fatal cases of lung cancer among their co-workers. The occupational physician in charge of this small plant (92 workers) first noted that all the cases were smokers and considered that the condition was not related to occupation. In 1974 two new cases and in 1976 a third one changed that point of view and the physician decided to consult the Institute of Occupational Medicine to set up a study to determine if an occupational hazard was involved. All 251 workers who had worked for six months or more in the plant between 1958 and 1978 were included in the study. Occurrence and dates of death were obtained from the plant or death registers or both. Causes of death could not be obtained from death certificates in the country where the study was conducted and were therefore obtained from families, physicians, hospitals, or pathologists.

Abstract:
Abstract April 15 1965; a phone call from a more than desperate manager to a department of occupational health was the beginning of the end of a puzzling situation that nearly spelled disaster for the relatively small factory that was the scene of this ‘drama’. Twenty years ago, just after the Second World War, the father of the present manager, together with two of his brothers, set up a small plant where various kinds of metal cans were manufactured. Through hard work this family business prospered and developed into a small factory, with half a dozen or so unskilled workers. However, the demand for metal cans diminished, and it was thought worthwhile to change to a new technology. A second workshop was opened in which ‘plastic’ boxes were produced. The ‘plastic’ base material was delivered in large sheets to be cut and moulded. The manager himself and three new unskilled workers spent a week learning the technical procedures in a large factory in Germany, and production started at the end of February 1965. Initially everything went smoothly and the productivity of the workmen was considered quite good. Then things went wrong.

Abstract:
Abstract Epidemiology has an important role to play in occupational medicine, but there are limitations to epidemiological studies. In studying the effect of occupational exposure on the health of the workers you look at those events which you would want to have prevented. On the other hand, not all effects on health can be foreseen and no matter how cautious you are, some exposures or some combination of exposures will turn out to be dangerous for the health of workers. When that happens, they should be detected as soon as possible in order to reduce the damage to a minimum. Epidemiology has a role to play in this process. It is unsatisfactory that occupational causes of diseases are often recognized in a haphazard way. Too many dangerous chemicals had been around for too many years before anyone studied what happened to the exposed. This is where the idea of monitoring comes in.

Abstract:
Occupational diseases are those for which work or, specifically, exposures in the workplace are necessary causes. The most prevalent occupational diseases in developed countries today are musculoskeletal and psychological disorders (usually stress-related conditions), but generally occupationally related malignancies (e.g. mesothelioma related to asbestos exposure) have the most serious outcomes. The proportion of all cancers attributable to occupational exposures is about 4%, with occupationally related cancers almost exclusively concentrated in manual workers aged 20 or over in sectors such as mining, agriculture, and industry. When presented with a patient whose illness might possibly have been caused or aggravated by work or by other environmental factors, the physician can usefully adopt an approach similar to that used for determining causation in epidemiological studies; the key issues being the temporality, reversibility, exposure-response, strength of association, and specificity of the illness with exposure to the factor in question.

Abstract:
The world of work is changing. This change becomes obvious by various developments, such as individualization, flexibilization or dissolution of boundaries, which also shape the discourse about subjectification of work (Beck, 1986, Kleemann et al., 2019, Sennett, 2008). Changing work requirements and demands made by employees are closely entwined with changes in health burdens of working people (Eurofound and EU-OSHA, 2014, Eurofound and ILO, 2017, Kratzer et al., 2011, Mauno et al., 2019, Siegrist, 2019).

Abstract:
Climate change poses increasingly severe challenges to nations worldwide, with developing countries being the most vulnerable due to their lack of socio-economic resources for adaptation. When discussing climate change adaptation, outdoor workers, who are directly exposed to abnormal weather phenomena in their daily work, are the most vulnerable group in terms of health impacts. This working paper presents a systematic review of Vietnam-based literature on the health impacts of climate change on urban outdoor workers in Asia. By synthesising empirical evidence from Vietnam and comparing it wit
