This study developed and validated the Firefighter Exposure to Carcinogens Scale (FECS) to assess exposure-mitigating behaviors.Methods: The sample included 179 volunteer firefighters from across Canada, comprising both English and French speakers, evaluated 20 items on exposure prevention across three dimensions: perceived importance, past behavior, and future intention. Principal axis factor analysis was conducted, and Parallel Analysis based on Principal Components determined the number of factors. McDonald's Omega measured internal consistency, and item-total correlations were examined.Results: A one-factor solution was acceptable for all scales, with high coefficient omega values indicating strong internal consistency. Small mean differences between language groups were nonsignificant, and no correlations were found with demographic variables.Conclusions: The FECS is a reliable, valid one-factor model for both languages, supporting cancer prevention efforts.","PeriodicalId":94100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational and environmental medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139845","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}

Measures of reaction and readiness soared before the epidemic and subsequently gradually decreased. Workplace adjustments stayed largely the same.Conclusion: Although the COVID-19 pandemic led to short-term gains in workplace health procedures, long-term readiness and response systems deteriorated after the outbreak. For military sector workplaces to remain resilient over the long term, institutional commitment and ongoing assessment are essential.","PeriodicalId":94100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational and environmental medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139879","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 highest rates were among males, younger workers and enlisted workers. Odds of severe injury increased with age group. After adjustment sex was not significantly different.

Text-mining techniques were used to categorize the KPIs and examine their association with company rankings, submission history, and industry.Results: Eleven KPIs were identified, including health status, productivity improvement, and recruitment. Productivity improvements and losses were frequently referenced by top-ranked companies, whereas lower-ranked companies and new participants prioritized recruitment and retention, which were commonly discussed in the retail, healthcare, and welfare industries.

Hourly WBGT, heart rate, and aural canal temperature were recorded to calculate the physiological strain index (PSI). Hydration status was assessed using urine specific gravity. Multiple linear regression identified PSI predictors.Results: WBGT steadily predicted PSI; age amplified strain, work experience showed protection across all five hours (p < 0.001). Dehydration amplified from 16.5% to 33% (p < 0.001), and excessive sweating doubled the risk.Conclusions: Prolonged occupational heat exposure augments physiological strain and dehydration, emphasizing the need for urgent heat mitigation approaches in agricultural workforces.","PeriodicalId":94100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational and environmental medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082872","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}
