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 study was conducted in a university located in a province in the east of Turkey's Black Sea region, with a total of 60 office workers randomly assigned to two groups (30 in the experimental group, 30 in the control group). 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). Conclusion. The ergonomics training intervention provided to the office employees was effective in improving their working postures and reducing MSDs, thereby creating awareness.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"460-467"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143434156","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}

Measurement of VO2max via indirect calorimetry is costly and requires skilled personnel; developing a predictive equation is a viable alternative. Existing predictive equations, e.g., Hunt, Kline and Dolgener equations, were tested using the Pearson correlation coefficient, constant error, standard error of estimate and total error. The aerobic fitness of shearer operators, bolters miners, jackhammer drillers and road header operators was very low. Bland-Altman analysis revealed that predicted VO2max measurements of all three equations had a total error of >10%, which is unacceptable for usage. Therefore, a new predictive equation was developed with a total error of 9.78%. The developed predictive equation is useful to evaluate miners' functional capacity with higher precision and assist in allocating work.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"529-537"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143256904","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}

Air traffic controllers should maintain high situational awareness (SA) and low cognitive workload to ensure aviation safety. However, increased task complexity may influence air traffic controllers' SA and cognitive workload. Meanwhile, eye-tracking provides insights into the gaze patterns that might signify SA. This article investigates the gaze behaviours, SA and cognitive workload of different radar screen monitoring tasks with varying task complexity. Methods. Twenty-eight participants performed three radar screen monitoring tasks, including call-sign association, position identification and heading projection. Cognitive workload and SA were evaluated for each task using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration task load index (NASA-TLX) and situational awareness global assessment technique (SAGAT), respectively. The Gaussian mixture model was used to cluster the SA into high/low. Eye-tracking reveals the gaze behaviours that may contribute to the SA formation. Results. Cognitive workload and SA significantly differ between different levels of task complexity. While task complexity has a significant main effect on the fixations of human operators, it does not significantly influence the pupil diameter. Conclusions. Fixation-related metrics may signify the changes in SA under varying task complexity, while the side effects of cognitive workload should be mitigated.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"504-515"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143399951","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}

Among cleaners, lower back pain (LBP) and neck/shoulder pain (NSP) are prevalent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Despite their high occurrence, the underlying causes of LBP and NSP in this population remain largely unknown, suggesting a multifactorial aetiology. This study aims to assess the association between various lifestyle, physical and psychosocial factors with LBP and NSP in professional cleaners. Methods. The study included cleaners from the Danish Work Environment and Health study 2012-2018 with a total of 1042 responses. The cleaners filled in a questionnaire about their work environment, lifestyle and health. Associations between a range of work and lifestyle factors (predictors) with LBP and NSP (outcome) were estimated using general linear models. Results. When controlling for various confounders, cleaners experiencing high physical exertion during work showed higher LBP and NSP compared with those experiencing low and moderate physical exertion (p < 0.0001). Low recognition from management was also associated with higher LBP and NSP (p < 0.05). Several factors did not reach statistical significance: smoking, leisure physical activity, influence at work and support from colleagues. Conclusion. This cross-sectional study showed that obesity, high physical exertion during work and low recognition from management were associated with higher LBP and NSP.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"522-528"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143400353","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}

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":"583-593"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","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}
