The basic objective of the system is to ensure that workers in special risk occupations are fit for such work. Factory workers exposed to any of 14 prescribed hazards must undergo specific medical examinations and tests by designated factory doctors who are trained and registered with the Labour Ministry. Abnormal work-related cases are notified to the Ministry for further investigation. Currently there are 330 designated factory doctors and each year, over 38,000 workers are examined, 88 per cent for noise exposure. The system provides opportunities for early detection of both occupational and non work-related abnormalities, individual counselling and timely preventive action. It also complements industrial hygiene monitoring activities in the evaluation of health hazards and promotes self-regulation. To enhance the effectiveness of the system, the doctors must be properly trained and some degree of supervision is needed, particularly with regard to accuracy and interpretation of laboratory results, emphasis on counselling and re-orientation and updating of knowledge.","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"40 2","pages":"55-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/40.2.55","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13528525","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}

All subjects were interviewed and examined. Audiometric examinations were arranged for those with significant noise exposure. Assessments of dust and noise levels were conducted. Symptoms of upper respiratory tract irritation, such as sneezing and runny nose, during work were experienced by 49.2 per cent of workers. These symptoms were maximal in the first few weeks of employment in spice grinding and did not recur in half of the affected workers. Over 26 per cent of the workers experienced a warm or burning sensation of the skin when grinding chili or pepper. None of the spice grinders had symptoms or evidence on physical examination of allergic skin disease or asthma. Noise-induced hearing loss was detected in 21 per cent of the workers examined but none had severe disabling deafness. Dust levels ranged from 0.03 to 0.82 mg/m3, with a mean value of 0.15 mg/m3. Noise exposure was significant, with levels of between 87 and 98 dBA. Control measures to reduce the noise and dust exposure are discussed.","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"40 3","pages":"111-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/40.3.111","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13366241","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}

Heavy work and work in hot places were commonly (65 and 49 per cent of respondents respectively) considered 'unsuitable'. Work as a food handler, handling toxic chemicals and driving duties was thought to be 'unsuitable' by 35, 14 and 10 per cent of respondents respectively and actually forbidden by a few physicians. Risk of spread of infection was perceived to be greater than normal for someone with a stoma by 28 per cent of respondents. This attitude was significantly more common (p less than 0.05 Chi square) among the associate members compared to full members of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine. Attitudes to people with either an ileostomy or a colostomy were similar. Most respondents (87 per cent) expected more sickness absences than normal for people with inflammatory bowel disease without a stoma but half appreciated that the creation of a stoma would result in normal amounts of sickness absence. The Occupational Physicians' views of which jobs within their industry were unsuitable for stoma patients were inconsistent. In practice most tasks can be performed normally by someone with a stoma so that each case should be assessed on an individual basis. There is a need for greater understanding and awareness by doctors of the good employment potential of people with intestinal stomas. The reasons for present attitudes are reviewed and new guidelines suggested.","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"39 1","pages":"19-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/39.1.19","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13856567","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}
