This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors for lower back pain (LBP) among Bajaj drivers in Gondar City, northwestern Ethiopia. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Gondar City. The collected data were entered into Epi Info version 7.2 and analyzed with SPSS version 20. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with p < 0.05 at the 95% confidence interval (CI) were reported and variables were considered to be significant risk factors. Results. The prevalence of LBP among Bajaj drivers was 49.2% (44.5-54.7%). Driver's age above 30 years (AOR 2.14, 95% CI [1.14, 4.01]), chewing chat (AOR 2.70, 95% CI [1.14, 6.21]), previous history of lower back trauma (AOR 1.68, 95% CI [1.29, 2.92]), no comfort in the seat (AOR 1.31, 95% CI [1.16, 4.60]), twisted sitting posture (AOR 1.39, 95% CI [1.03, 5.79]) and driving experience (AOR 1.52, 95% CI [1.08, 2.30]) were all significantly associated. Conclusion. Nearly half of the study participants had LBP, which was relatively common in the study area. According to the findings, the authors recommend that Bajaj drivers should have comfortable seats, maintain neutral sitting postures and take precautions while driving when they have a previous history of lower back trauma.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460123","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}

Asymmetrical trunk positions to perform daily tasks are known as risk factors for back injuries. This study aimed to investigate the lumbar extension (main activity for lifting) in symmetrical, asymmetrical and combined positions. Methods. Sixteen lumbar and abdominal muscle activities during maximum voluntary contraction in six main directions and the isometric extension in 24 different positions were recorded for 14 healthy men. The co-contraction index was calculated between all the muscle pairs for each trial (120 pairs per trial). The relationship between uniaxial and combined positions was investigated using Pearson's correlation and the response surface methodology model. Results. Pearson's correlation between the combined positions and extension was 0.482-0.588 and for the other five main directions was <0.3. According to the models, a significant relationship was observed for extension. Conclusions. Secondary activities due to asymmetrical position reduce the subject ability to apply maximum extension. The optimal asymmetrical lifting mode is when it is accompanied by flexion and avoids side bending as much as possible. To reduce back injuries, and increase ergonomics and occupational safety, the work environment should be designed in such a way that the spine is not exposed to excessive loads.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143450519","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}

This study aimed to determine the impact of ergonomics training given to office workers on their risk scores for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and their working postures. Methods.

The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Friedman tests. Results. After the training, there was a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the average scores of rapid office strain assessment (ROSA), rapid upper limb assessment (RULA), and spine and upper extremity discomfort, whereas no significant change was found in lower extremity discomfort (p > 0.05). In pairwise comparisons, 1 week after the training there was a decrease in the average scores of ROSA and RULA compared to before the training (p < 0.001), and this trend was maintained in the RULA score average after 12 weeks (p < 0.001), while it could not be maintained in the ROSA score average (p > 0.05).

The research purpose of this article was to investigate the status of laboratory safety culture in universities, in order to carry out more targeted laboratory cultural construction activities in the later stage. Safety culture also can have a lasting impact on university students as future practitioners. Methods. With Southeast University as a case study, a sample of 8761 study participants completed the safety culture measurement questionnaire (SCMQ). The independent-sample t test, single-factor analysis of variance and multilevel logistic regression were used to analyze the general characteristic distribution of the safety culture level. Results. The overall average score of safety culture was 74.84. Among the 32 elements of safety culture, six elements scored less than 60 points. Multilevel logistic regression analysis showed that the distribution of safety culture scores varied across schools, work roles, genders, years of laboratory use and laboratory safety culture familiarity. Conclusions. University laboratories should strengthen the construction of safety culture, for the safety elements with low scores, and intervene from the organizational level (school level). The key focus groups were males, students and those who have used the laboratory for 2-4 years, and those with low awareness of safety culture.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143434036","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}

To alleviate the discomfort caused by wet fabric adhering to the skin, this study aims to examine the effects of fabric properties, fabric water saturation and separating velocity on adhesion characteristics between the fabric and the skin. Methods. A novel measurement method was devised to assess adhesion characteristics, and the obtained data demonstrated favorable repeatability. Utilizing this methodology, the adhesion characteristics of 21 fabrics were evaluated under varying water saturations and separating velocities. Results. Water saturation exhibited the most substantial positive influence on both peak adhesion force and adhesion distance. As the separating velocity increased, the change rate of adhesion force displayed linear growth. Additionally, the surface roughness of the fabric, measured under dry conditions, did not have a significant impact on the peak adhesion force, while elongation of the fabric did not significantly affect the adhesion distance. Conclusions. This study demonstrates that the water saturation of fabric significantly influences adhesion charateristics, whereas the surface roughness of the fabric under wet conditions does not. Future research should focus on further exploring the impact of fabric properties on adhesion force in wet conditions.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143434154","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}
