Methods: Data were obtained from the 2021 Survey on the Status of Safety and Health in the Workplace in Korea. This study used a matched-pair analysis of certified and non-certified workplaces. Results: The results suggest that while ISO 45001-certified workplaces have a more safety-friendly internal institutional context than non-certified workplaces, there is no significant difference in the number of injuries and fatalities. Conclusions: The results indicate that ISO 45001-certified workplaces do not achieve better Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) performance than non-certified workplaces because ISO 45001 remains in the early stages of expansion and certification does not require the achievement of OSH performance. A longitudinal analysis is needed to confirm the accurate outcomes of ISO 45001 certification.","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139276577","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}

Objectives: To examine the associations between objectively measured activity and postural behaviors and MetS risk among LEO. Methods: Thirty-one LEO aged 33±10 years participated in the study. LEO had their metabolic risk factors measured using blood samples after fasting for at least 10 hours prior to testing. Participants wore activity monitoring devices for seven consecutive days during on-duty and off-duty shifts. Eighteen participants adhered to wearing the devices. Descriptive statistics were used to determine means for all MetS risk factors; time in intensity-specific physical activity behaviors; and time in various postural shifts. Correlation analyses were employed to examine relationships between activity behaviors, postures, and MetS risk factors. Results: Over half (51.6%; n=16) of the participants had two or more positive MetS risk factors. Mean on-duty sedentary behavior was 273±59 minutes compared to off-duty sedentary behavior of 401±146 minutes. Mean on-duty moderate-intensity activity was 236±40 minutes compared to off-duty moderate-intensity activity of 305±80 minutes. Average on-duty sitting time was 435±69 minutes compared to off-duty sitting time of 528±142 minutes. Average on-duty standing time was 116±43 minutes compared to off-duty standing time of 171±51 minutes. There were negative correlations between on-duty sedentary activity and SBP (r = -.48) and DBP (r = -.48), respectively. Conclusions: LEO have unfavorable activity and postural behaviors during a typical day regardless of working status and may be at risk for developing MetS.","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281724","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}

Using digital phenotyping to identify an individual's mental health status has become particularly important. However, many technologies other than digital phenotyping are expected to become more prevalent in the future. The systematization of these technologies is necessary to accurately identify trends in mental health interventions. However, no consensus on the technical classification of digital health technologies for mental health interventions has emerged. Thus, we conducted a review of systematic review articles on the application of digital health technologies in mental health while attempting to systematize the technology using the Delphi method. To identify technologies used in digital phenotyping and other digital technologies, we included four systematic review articles, which met the inclusion criteria, and an additional eight review articles, using a snowballing approach, were incorporated into the comprehensive review. Based on the review results, experts from various disciplines participated in the Delphi process and agreed on the following 11 technical categories for mental health interventions: heart rate estimation, exercise or physical activity, sleep estimation, contactless heart rate/pulse wave estimation, voice and emotion analysis, self-care/cognitive behavioral therapy/mindfulness, dietary management, psychological safety, communication robots, avatar/metaverse devices, and brain wave devices. The categories we defined intentionally included technologies that are expected to become widely used in the future. Therefore, we believe these 11 classifications are socially implementable and useful for mental health interventions.","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139282153","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}

Two distinct occupational groups that encounter HAZMAT events are first responders and professional drivers. Wearable technology is a tool that can assist with monitoring the health of professionals involved in HAZMAT events. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the perceptions of first responders and professional drivers on wearable technology and attitudes toward health monitoring. Methods: A survey was administered to first responders (n= 112) and professional drivers (n= 218). Statistical approach included bivariate analysis, latent class analysis, logistic regression analysis, and path analysis for the variables of interest. Results: There were significant differences between the groups in perceptions of the benefits of monitoring certain health indicators. Professional drivers were more likely to have a history of wearable technology use compared to first responders (OR= 10.1; CI 4.42,22.9), reported greater exposure to HAZMAT (OR= 4.32; CI 2.24-8.32), and were more willing to have their health data monitored by someone other than themselves (OR= 9.27; CI 3.67, 23.4). Multinomial regression model revealed that occupation was not significant predictor of class preference for acceptance of monitoring specific health indicators. Conclusions: Occupation appeared to be important but further analysis uncovered characteristics of individuals within the occupations were more salient to the use of wearable technology. HAZMAT exposure, someone else monitoring health data, and experience with wearable technology use were important factors found for perceptions toward benefits of health monitoring with wearable technology.","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281918","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}

Methods: Based on the cross-sectional data from the 6th Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS), specifically the responses from 46,055 workers, the use of work-related communication devices outside of regular working hours, long working hours, and anxiety symptoms were assessed. To investigate the associations between using work-related communication devices outside regular working hours or long working hours on anxiety symptoms, odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using multiple logistic regression models. Results: Among 46,055 participants, 25,659 (55.7%) used work-related communication devices outside working hours, 8,145 (17.7%) worked long hours, and 2,664 (5.8%) experienced anxiety symptoms. Compared to the reference group, those who used work-related communication devices outside regular working hours without working long hours, had higher OR of anxiety symptoms (OR:2.18, 95% CI:1.97-2.41) than those who worked long hours without using work-related communication devices during off-hours (OR:1.32, 95% CI:1.09-1.59). Furthermore, the group that both worked long hours and used work-related communication devices outside working hours exhibited the highest OR of anxiety symptoms (OR:2.57, 95% CI:2.24-2.97). Conclusions: Using work-related communication devices outside regular working hours is associated with a higher risk of anxiety symptoms compared to long working hours. This result suggests that using work-related devices outside regular working hours, in addition to regular work time, should be considered when redefining working hours.","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":"124 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139282443","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}

Methods: It used cross-sectional data from the fourth survey of a multi-wave longitudinal project, conducted using the registered monitors of an internet research company. Finally, 1,278 respondents’ data were analyzed (655 males, 623 females; mean age 41.63 years, SD=10.31). We utilized Sugiaski’s TMD screening question to assess TMD prevalence, Brief Job Stress Questionnaire to assess job demands, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) to assess psychological distress, and the Japanese version of Recovery Experience Questionnaire to assess recovery experiences. The moderated mediation analysis was conducted using the process macro program for SPSS developed by Preacher and Hayes, examining the effect of job demands on TMD through psychological distress, moderated by the recovery experience. Results: The results showed that 12% (n=168) of the respondents had TMD. Mediation analysis indicated high job demands were associated with an increased TMD prevalence through psychological distress. The moderated mediation analysis revealed that relaxation and control moderated the relationship between job demands and psychological distress. Conclusions: This cross-sectional study establishes the relationship between job demands, psychological distress, and TMD among Japanese workers. The findings suggest that increased job demands contribute to high TMD prevalence through the mediation of psychological distress, moderated by relaxation and control.","PeriodicalId":16632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health","volume":"19 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139282637","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}

It is influenced by several occupational and health related factors including the individual physical fitness (PF). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to provide an overview of the possible relationship between PF measures and the individuals’ WA. Methods: A systematic review of studies published up to the 1st of December 2022 and available in PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science databases, was performed. Results have been summarized according to the specific PF parameter explored. Results: The 14 reviewed studies, enrolling 47 to 1005 workers, showed all a satisfactory methodological quality. Some positive evidence emerged for a possible association between changes in aerobic capacity, walking speed, balance, flexibility, muscle strength and WA perception. However, the limited number of studies and their cross-sectional design; the different PF performance indicators, populations and job tasks explored prevent definite conclusions. Conclusions: Future longitudinal studies should be planned to confirm such positive results and identify PF indicators better predictive for changes in the WA of employees engaged in specific job tasks, particularly in physically demanding activities. This may be helpful to include PF performance test in the occupational health practice as an integrated part in risk assessment and management strategies as well as in health and well-being promotion plans.

In Japan, even though much effort has been given to reducing workplace psychosocial risks, there remains a high level of the tragic phenomena “karojisatsu” (work-related suicides) and “karoshi” (death from overwork). More than half of Japanese workers are troubled with extreme work stress.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Exploration of antecedents to workplace psychosocial risks (social factors that cause stress) is urgently needed to find solutions about how to prevent work stress and create psychological healthy workplaces.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Thus far, work stress interventions have mostly highlighted individual-focused strategies such as building individual resilience and personal coping strategies, putting the burden of solutions on individuals, or have focused on job redesign. These approaches neglect influential social context and structural factors, evident in the psychosocial safety climate of the organization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Psychosocial safety climate (PSC) is a facet of organizational climate and a leading indicator of psychosocial risks and is therefore referred to as the “cause of the causes”, and positive employee health and work outcomes.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Improving PSC in the workplace is likely to reduce stressful work conditions and undesirable psychological and physical injuries, as well as improve performance and employees' motivation. Studies of PSC assert that organizations are mostly hierarchical with power and influence largely coming from the top management team. The priorities, goals, and vision of executives and shareholders set the tone for the kinds of jobs on offer, and what organizations expect from their managers and workers, and thereby shape employees' behaviors and attitudes, and in turn affect their well-being. For example, managers may set high-performance work targets creating work pressure and overworking by employees, and in turn work stress. Protecting worker health and well-being (i.e., via PSC) is important for workplace productivity and decent work. Building a high PSC context is in line with the United Nation's sustainable development goals of decent work and the International Labour Organization's Declaration on the Fundamental Principles and Rights at work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By definition, PSC refers to the shared perceptions of employees about the “organisational policies, procedures and practices in relation to employee psychological health and safety”.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; PSC captures what an organization prioritizes and values, and is evident through organizational actions and commitment to protecting workers' psychological health.
