Abstract

Introduction

Textile industry covers a whole range of processes that expose workers to a number of occupational nuisances.

Methods

Over a period of 3 months, we carried out a descriptive cross-sectional study of the occupational nuisances of workers in a textile factory in Abidjan in 2023. Data were collected using a questionnaire providing information on socio-professional characteristics and the nuisances encountered, supplemented by observations in real work situations and ambient measurements.

Results

The study included 280 workers, mainly men (90.4%) with an average age of 45.1 ± 10.5 years. Almost all were blue-collar workers (98.2%) with an average length of service of 12.7 ± 9.9 years. Working conditions were characterised by a dusty environment with no air renewal system, congested traffic lanes and uneven floors. Environmental measurements revealed noise levels ranging from 80 to 97 dB, a temperature fluctuating between 32.1 and 34.1 °C, dust concentrations ranging from 0.019 to 1.68 mg/m³ and lighting levels ranging from 163 to 878 lux. In terms of ergonomic risk, 62.5% of workers adopted prolonged standing postures and 82.5% said they handled heavy loads. Psychologically, 45.8% reported stress at work. The majority (92.1%) of those surveyed did not use the personal protective equipment provided correctly, and three-quarters (75%) had an annual medical check-up.

Conclusion

The fight against the occupational nuisances encountered in this unit must include collective and individual technical measures as well as appropriate medical surveillance.

2023年阿比让一家麻袋生产工厂工人的职业危害评估

纺织工业涵盖了一系列使工人暴露于许多职业滋扰的过程。方法在3个月的时间里，我们对阿比让一家纺织厂2023年工人的职业妨害进行了描述性横断面研究。数据是通过问卷收集的，问卷提供了社会专业特征和遇到的滋扰信息，并辅以对实际工作情况和环境测量的观察。结果共纳入职工280人，男性居多，占90.4%，平均年龄45.1±10.5岁。几乎全部为蓝领工人（98.2%），平均工龄为12.7±9.9年。工作条件的特点是尘土飞扬的环境，没有空气更新系统，拥挤的交通车道和不平坦的地板。环境测量显示噪音水平在80到97分贝之间，温度在32.1到34.1°C之间波动，粉尘浓度在0.019到1.68毫克/立方米之间，照明水平在163到878勒克斯之间。在人体工程学风险方面，62.5%的工人采取长时间站立的姿势，82.5%的工人说他们处理重物。从心理上讲，45.8%的人表示工作压力大。大多数（92.1%）受访者没有正确使用提供的个人防护装备，四分之三（75%）的人每年进行一次体检。结论该单位对职业病危害的防治必须采取集体和个人的技术措施，并辅以适当的医疗监督。
