Background : Using of protective measures at work place can protect workers from physical, chemical or mechanical hazards. Aim of the study : Was to assess occupational health hazards and protective measures among workers in pesticide factories. Research design: A descriptive research design was utilized to conduct this study . Setting: This study was conducted at kafr-El Zayat Pesticide Factory. Sampling: A simple random sample was utilized in this study, in the previous mentioned setting to study 225 workers. Tools: Two tool were used: First tool: A Structured interviewing questionnaire divided into two parts. Part (I): Consist of three sections (A) Socio-demographic characteristics of workers, (B) characteristics of work , (C) health problems facing workers in last six months. Part (II): Knowledge of workers regarding occupational health hazards in pesticide factories. Second tool: Observational check list to assess practices of workers toward preventive measures. Result: 45.3% of the studied workers aged 30->40 years with Mean age of workers = 35.93±8.10, 17.3 % of the studied workers exposes to fracture and 10.2 % exposed to Muscle fatigue and only 4.4% done periodic checkup, 33.8% of the studied employees have good level of total knowledge and 53.8% of the studied workers had satisfactory level regarding their total reported practices. Conclusion: Highly statistically significant relation between the studied employees total knowledge level and total reported practices. Recommendations: Developing health educational program regarding occupational health hazards and preventive measures should be developed and implemented for workers in pesticide factories.
农药厂工人的职业健康危害和防护措施
背景:在工作场所采取防护措施可以保护工人免受物理、化学或机械危害。研究目的 :评估农药厂工人的职业健康危害和防护措施。研究设计:本研究采用描述性研究设计。研究地点本研究在 kafr-El Zayat 农药厂进行。抽样:本研究采用简单随机抽样的方法,在上述环境中抽取了 225 名工人作为研究对象。工具:使用了两种工具:第一种工具:结构化访谈问卷,分为两部分。第一部分由三部分组成:(A)工人的社会人口特征;(B)工作特征;(C)工人在过去六个月中面临的健康问题。第(II)部分:工人对农药厂职业健康危害的了解。第二个工具:通过观察核对表评估工人采取预防措施的情况。结果:45.3%的被调查工人年龄在 30->40 岁之间,平均年龄为(35.93±8.10)岁;17.3%的被调查工人有骨折的危险,10.2%的工人有肌肉疲劳的危险,只有 4.4%的工人做过定期检查;33.8%的被调查员工的总体知识水平良好,53.8%的被调查工人对其报告的总体做法表示满意。结论所研究的员工的总体知识水平与所报告的总体做法之间具有高度统计学意义。建议应为农药厂工人制定和实施有关职业健康危害和预防措施的健康教育计划。
