Improving worker well-being can be achieved by using empirical evidence to inform organizational interventions. However, despite the well-established intervention literature, practitioners appear not to appreciate fully how research findings can inform real-world practice. Using our understanding about workplace safety and health issues, we proposed that employers themselves could undertake interventions that focus on building psychosocial safety climate (PSC), an essential organizational climate that protects and promotes the psychological well-being of workers.Methods: Here we present 2 case studies to illustrate strategies that improve psychosocial safety and to increase our understanding about how interventions help improve PSC over time. Case Study 1 was conducted in an Australian public organization and Case Study 2 was in an international private organization. We collected survey data using the PSC-12 scale, to assess the level of PSC of the organization before and after the intervention, and details of the intervention and other initiatives for promoting employees' psychological health.Results: Our evaluation supported the proposition that interventions that combine organizational-level and individual-level (and the interface between the two) approaches with a focus on the core elements of PSC (such as commitment, priority, communication, and participation) improve an organization's PSC over time.Conclusions: The research not only elucidates important practical implications for organizations trialing new psychosocial safety initiatives, but also makes an important contribution to theory in work stress intervention on best practice and principles to build a psychologically healthy work context.","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11484795/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142140300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the association between anemia, which is prevalent among Japanese females, and falls is unclear. Here, we investigated the association between anemia and occupational fall injuries.Methods: Participants were 6780 part-time female employees aged 35-64 working in Japanese supermarket stores of a retail company and who had at least 1 health checkup each year between 2017 and 2022. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin (Hb) <12.0 g/dL (mild: Hb = 11.0-11.9 g/dL, moderate-severe: Hb < 11.0 g/dL). Fall injuries were defined as slips, trips, and falls on the same level, requiring medical attention based on the occupational injury data by the company. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for falls were estimated using multilevel Poisson regression, adjusting for age and body mass index.Results: The annual rate of occupational fall injuries was 0.7%. The adjusted IRR for occupational fall injuries among participants with anemia was 1.71 (95% CI, 1.12-2.60). When dividing anemia into 2 groups, IRR was 1.46 (95% CI, 0.84-2.53) for mild anemia and 2.13 (95% CI, 1.18-3.84) for moderate-severe anemia (P for trend = .007).Conclusions: In this observational study of employees of large Japanese supermarket stores, anemia was significantly associated with a higher incidence of occupational falls.

Various types of work environment improvements experienced by workers were assessed using a 24-item checklist. Three mental health outcomes (poor mental health, presenteeism, and high psychosocial stress) were assessed and defined using standardized questionnaires.Results: Overall, as the total number of work environment improvements increased, the odds ratio for mental health outcomes in the follow-up survey decreased by several percentage points, even after adjusting for demographic and occupational factors. Analysis of the types of work environment improvements showed that mutual support improvements were particularly effective in reducing mental health issues. The subgroup analyses also showed that the effectiveness of workplace environment improvements might vary between secondary and tertiary industry workers depending on the types of improvements and mental health outcomes.Conclusions: The study suggests that workplace improvements can significantly affect mental health. The effectiveness of these improvements may vary according to the type of intervention, industry of the targeted workers, and mental health outcomes.

However, the prevalence of elbow WMSDs in toy manufacturing was 21.3%, which was significantly higher than that in other industries (P < .05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age 40 and above, married, very poor health, left-handedness, lifting weights (more than 20 kg each time), work requiring upper limb or hand force, work in an uncomfortable position, repetitive operations within 1 minute, using vibrating tools, work involving cold, cool draughts, or temperature changes, work being completed in the same workshop, work being done outdoors, frequent dealings with customers, 2 shifts, often working overtime, staff shortage, and often working for colleagues were risk factors for elbow WMSDs. A higer education level, monthly income, and enough rest time were protective factors for elbow WMSDs.Conclusions: Toy manufacturing is a high-risk industry for elbow WMSDs.

Methods: This cross-sectional survey employed convenient sampling method to collect data from 7315 long-distance mini and long-bus drivers who operate in Accra and Tema in Ghana cities, to other parts of the country. The bus drivers answered the job content questionnaire, psychosocial safety climate scale (PSC-12), work-family conflict scale and demographic questions on age, education, driving hours and RTC history. Results: The correlational analysis showed a significant association between psychosocial work factors and RTC for the previous two years. Hierarchical multiple linear regression found that supervisor support, skill discretion, decision autonomy, psychological demands, PSC and work-family conflict significantly contributed to explaining RTC among the drivers. Also, significant differences were found between mini-bus and long-bus drivers on driving hours, occurrence of near misses, RTC and all psychosocial work factors explored in this study except work-family conflict. Conclusion: Psychosocial work factors directly predict RTC among mini-bus and long-bus drivers. Policymakers, driver unions, owners and managers of bus transport businesses should prioritise integrating occupational health and safety into road transport activities. Furthermore, managers and bus owners should use bottom-up communication, provide access to support services and work-family balance initiatives, flexible work schedules and a supportive work environment to improve road safety.","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":"332 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139152306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
