Abstract

In the Dutch national expertise centre “Lexces”, five excellent Dutch centres of expertise from different fields in occupational science, hygiene and health, combine their knowledge to jointly work on prevention of substance-related occupational diseases. The ultimate goal of this cooperation is creating a future in which people no longer become ill from substances to which they are exposed in the workplace. Lexces aims to develop, combine and actively share knowledge on substance-related occupational diseases, strengthen early warning systems for exposure risks and health effects, and contribute to occupational healthcare. To this end, Lexces has its own scientific research program that addresses a wide range of topics within the broad field of substance-related occupational diseases. The research program connects primary prevention (risk identification and prevention of exposure), secondary prevention (early warning) and tertiary prevention (occupational healthcare) in several multidisciplinary research projects. Many of these projects involve active cooperation with professionals in the field, such as occupational hygienists, occupational physicians and sector organizations. In this way, Lexces aims to bridge gaps between scientific knowledge and practise and contribute to practice-based research. In addition to focussing on prevention of substance-related occupational diseases and dissemination of knowledge, the scientific knowledge that is developed within the Lexces research programme also contributes to the implementation of a new compensation scheme for victims of substance-related occupational diseases, that has been introduced in the Netherlands in 2023. In this session, the strategic themes, objectives and latest developments in the current research projects of Lexces will be presented.

88a - 携手预防与物质有关的职业病：荷兰国家专门知识中心 "Lexces

在荷兰国家专业技术中心 "Lexces "中，来自职业科学、卫生和健康等不同领域的五个优秀的荷兰专业技术中心将他们的知识结合起来，共同致力于预防与物质有关的职业病。这一合作的最终目标是创造一个人们不再因工作场所接触的物质而患病的未来。Lexces 的目标是开发、整合并积极分享与物质相关的职业病知识，加强暴露风险和健康影响的预警系统，并为职业保健做出贡献。为此，Lexces 制定了自己的科学研究计划，涉及与物质相关的职业病这一广泛领域的多个课题。该研究计划将一级预防（风险识别和预防接触）、二级预防（早期预警）和三级预防（职业保健）联系在多个多学科研究项目中。其中许多项目涉及与职业卫生学家、职业医师和行业组织等专业人士的积极合作。通过这种方式，Lexces 致力于弥合科学知识与实践之间的差距，为以实践为基础的研究做出贡献。除了重点关注与物质有关的职业病的预防和知识传播外，Lexces 研究计划中开发的科学知识还有助于荷兰于 2023 年推出的与物质有关的职业病受害者新赔偿计划的实施。本次会议将介绍 Lexces 当前研究项目的战略主题、目标和最新进展。

期刊介绍： About the Journal Annals of Work Exposures and Health is dedicated to presenting advances in exposure science supporting the recognition, quantification, and control of exposures at work, and epidemiological studies on their effects on human health and well-being. A key question we apply to submission is, "Is this paper going to help readers better understand, quantify, and control conditions at work that adversely or positively affect health and well-being?" We are interested in high quality scientific research addressing: the quantification of work exposures, including chemical, biological, physical, biomechanical, and psychosocial, and the elements of work organization giving rise to such exposures; the relationship between these exposures and the acute and chronic health consequences for those exposed and their families and communities; populations at special risk of work-related exposures including women, under-represented minorities, immigrants, and other vulnerable groups such as temporary, contingent and informal sector workers; the effectiveness of interventions addressing exposure and risk including production technologies, work process engineering, and personal protective systems; policies and management approaches to reduce risk and improve health and well-being among workers, their families or communities; methodologies and mechanisms that underlie the quantification and/or control of exposure and risk. There is heavy pressure on space in the journal, and the above interests mean that we do not usually publish papers that simply report local conditions without generalizable results. We are also unlikely to publish reports on human health and well-being without information on the work exposure characteristics giving rise to the effects. We particularly welcome contributions from scientists based in, or addressing conditions in, developing economies that fall within the above scope.
