Workplace investigation is a concept which entails the analysis of hazards inherent in the work as well as assessment of their effects on workers' well-being. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of the workplace investigation method. The newly developed method, called Job Load and Hazard Analysis, has the following characteristics: a job analytic approach; the application of group problem-solving; and cooperation between occupational health professionals, occupational safety personnel, and line management. The method comprises the identification of health hazards, their assessment, and conclusions and proposals as to their prevention and follow-up. The method was tested as part of one constructor's actual occupational health care programme, over a 2.5-year period. The method worked well as a central component of preventive occupational health care. It yielded concrete data that could be applied to make the occupational health care programme better suited to preventing the hazards inherent in the building trade. The contents of the occupational health care programme were clearly enhanced, the number of preventive measures increased, and the organizational climate improved; the workers praised the increased emphasis on safety. More research is needed, eg in other production settings and to determine the most effective utilization of the data gathered by the method.","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"17-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/41.1.17","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13166992","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}

Using a cross-sectional interviewer-administered questionnaire it was possible to assess the percentage prevalence of each of 3 facial dermatitis symptoms among both low humidity exposed and non-exposed workers. The two prevalences were compared by calculating a ratio (the percentage prevalence ratio or PPR) of the prevalence of symptoms in the exposed, to that in the non-exposed workforce. A confidence interval (CI) for the PPR was also calculated. For the symptom of itching, the PPR was 1.65 (CI 1.32-2.07) in favour of the study group, whilst for the symptoms of redness and urticaria the PPRs were 1.96 (CI 1.54-2.48) and 2.53 (CI 1.40-4.59) respectively. The occurrence of a greater prevalence of all symptoms in the low-humidity exposed workforce confirms the clinical and laboratory reports of previous workers. A comparison was also made between the two groups of workers of both the severity, and the frequency of occurrence of symptoms. Whilst there was no statistically significant difference between the exposed and non-exposed groups for prevalence of one symptom, among those who had experienced two symptoms there was a PPR of 2.43 (CI 1.37-4.30) between the two groups. Furthermore, among those workers who had experienced all 3 symptoms of facial dermatitis there was a PPR of 3.38 (CI 1.18-8.93) in favour of the low-humidity exposed workforce.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"37-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/41.1.37","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12987712","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 study was conducted to identify factors associated with physical complaints experienced by these office workers. A large percentage of the data entry clerks reported chronic physical complaints (eyestrain, musculo-skeletal pains, headache) as well as emotional or mental stress which they felt were associated with their occupation. Poorly designed overhead lighting systems in all offices contributed to both eyestrain and headache. Duration of employment as a data entry operator within the organization was not associated with stress or physical health complaints. The presence of an adjustable workstation did not in itself guarantee any protection from these conditions. Highly significant associations between occupational stress levels and some physical complaints were observed. The presence of these associations indicated that the management of both physical and stress complaints within these office environments should be tackled simultaneously.","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"41 3","pages":"113-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/41.3.113","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13081467","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}

Twelve workers were found to have VCM-induced liver dysfunction based on circumstantial evidence. They were employed between 1971 and 1982 when the VCM levels ranged from 1 to 21 p.p.m. After 1982 when the environmental VCM levels were controlled to below 1 p.p.m., no cases of VCM-induced liver dysfunction were detected. In most cases, glutamic pyruvic transaminase was the earliest parameter to be raised. The second most common parameter is serum gamma glutamyl transpeptidase. The latent period ranged from 1 to 13 years. An improvement in their LFT results was shown by 83.3 per cent of workers within 6 months to 2 years after removal from further VCM exposure. For workers who returned to VCM work, their LFT became abnormal again. Liver scans showed hepato and/or splenomegaly in most cases. Liver biopsies on 9 workers were reported as 'non-specific fatty changes' of varying degrees. These observations highlight the need for continual vigilance with environmental monitoring and medical surveillance of VCM-exposed workers.","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"10-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/41.1.10","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13166991","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}
