As part of an exploration into the role of physicians in RTW, we examined resources, policies and guidelines developed for physicians. We identified resources developed by workers’ compensation boards, government bodies and other organizations across Canada. Materials were categorized by resource type, content and jurisdiction. A content analysis focused on key messages and discourse about what is expected of physicians and how they are instructed to behave as part of the workers’ compensation process. Analysis was informed by key issues identified in the critical qualitative RTW literature and involved the consideration of gaps, contradictions and ’silences’ in the data. While physicians are urged to encourage RTW, few resources explain how the workers’ compensation system operates and their role within it. There is a dearth of resources that address complex conditions and difficulties physicians may encounter while treating patients with compensable injuries. These gaps may hinder physicians’ understanding of their roles and responsibilities and delay workers’ RTW after injury. There is a need for resources aimed at physicians that clearly discuss their role and how to deal with complex conditions and RTW difficulties.","PeriodicalId":43946,"journal":{"name":"Policy and Practice in Health and Safety","volume":"17 1","pages":"78 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14773996.2018.1465264","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41664846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need to quantify and eliminate ill health arising out of work is vital to reduce workplace absence leading to debate on associated relationships between the methods of waste collection and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Body mapping is a participatory research tool that has been successfully used to investigate workplace ill health problems. Participatory body mapping exercises were carried out using staff at a UK District Council 2 years before and after the move from boxes and baskets to a wheeled bin recycling service. The study introduces the concept of Average Pain Count (APC). The data support previous studies showing that wheeled bin-based services (APC 2.07 & 2.80) are associated with less MSD outcomes than services including boxes, baskets and sacks (APC 4.02). The surveys provided compelling evidence to suggest that there are associations between age and self-reported pain, although there appeared to be no patterns with regard to length of service. These findings should help Local Authorities better understand critical factors regarding waste collection strategies and self-reported pain. There are recommendations regarding the use of body mapping and for industry practice.","PeriodicalId":43946,"journal":{"name":"Policy and Practice in Health and Safety","volume":"16 1","pages":"224 - 240"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14773996.2018.1491146","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42567887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) use in Nigeria from 1970 to 2000 was 1,091,370 tons. Its demand peak coincided with landmark edifices construction in the country that include FESTAC Village and the National Theatre Iganmu. The inward low-cost housing construction investment policy in urban areas in the 1970–1980s ensured demand for ACM was consistent. Given the widespread use of ACM and non-availability of national data on workers exposure, the problem posed is unlimited. Poor implementation of asbestos regulation and industry codes of practices contributed to inadequate risk management regime. Desktop survey on ACM demand revealed the product continual use, but goes unreported. Low cost of ACMs and the absence of strong regulation to enforce a ban in the industry are critical factors in their proliferation. Lack of official record for asbestos mortality or morbidity rates and the non-existence of reliable mechanism to enforce its ban present serious health risk among construction workers. This call for national asbestos exposure survey to ascertain the extent of the problem within the construction industry.","PeriodicalId":43946,"journal":{"name":"Policy and Practice in Health and Safety","volume":"16 1","pages":"212 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14773996.2018.1492239","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45431741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
