Abstract:

Introduction and Aim: The metal working process has many hazards that the metal workers are exposed to resulting in several health disorders and diseases. However, there is a lack of documented information regarding the prevalence of ophthalmic safety practices and the factors influencing them among metal workers in the Moradabad region or the study area. The aim of the present study is to assess ocular morbidity patterns among the metal workers from an unorganized sector. Methods: We conducted this study to find out the morbidity patterns among the metal workers working in Northwestern Uttar Pradesh, district Moradabad. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 metal workers using a pre-validated structured questionnaire. Results: All the metal workers working, without any formal eye health and safety training. Eye Injury was the most common problem at work. The age of the metal workers, duration of employment & welding hours per day were associated with ocular morbidities among the metal workers. In this study, among 100 metal workers, 18% of workers were suffering from an occupational eye injury. 98% metal workers population don’t have any personal protective eye device.86% of them feel this protective eye device is not so necessary. Conclusion: There is a need for occupational health safety awareness services for metal workers in Moradabad as well as in Uttar Pradesh. While further research may be required to make policy recommendations, the current study provides a baseline morbidity burden among these mental workers to look for interventions to promote health and safety at work for this neglected unorganized group.

Abstract:

Introduction Female workers in textile and metal industry are exposed to various physical and chemical hazards that can lead to the occurrence of gynaecological diseases. Objective The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of gynaecological diseases among workers of textile and metal industries. METHOD The investigation comprised 197 female workers, 148 from textile and 49 from metal industry, aged from 26 to 57 years. All subjects were hospitalized based on non-gynaecological diagnoses. Gynaecological diagnoses included: tumours of the genital organs and breasts, cervical ectopy and lacerations, inflammatory diseases, disturbances of static of genital organs, cysts, and irregularities of menstrual cycle. Results Textile workers were significantly younger than metal workers, but the groups were comparable according to total and exposure work-time, qualifications and diagnosis on hospital admission. Gynaecological diseases were diagnosed among all investigated subjects. About 80% were diagnosed with tumours and inflammatory diseases. A highly statistically significant difference was observed among groups according to the presence of cervical ectopy and lacerations, which were more frequent among textile workers. Conclusion Comparison of gynaecological status of workers revealed that, among textile workers, cervical ectopy and lacerations were more frequent than among workers in metal industry. .

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of the project is to promote occupational health among workers in the informal sector in Kenya. It started with work on prevention of exposure to high noise among metal workers. A group of 60 workers where provided with protective devices and training on health hazards associated with exposure to high noise. From the proceedings with a group of metal workers, we obtained a good picture on the challenges faced by the workers in the informal sector. As a follow-up to this first project, we are working on providing solutions that will contribute in reducing the noise levels. The workers do, for example, all the metal cutting with a chisel and a hammer, and further shaping by other crude tools, which are a major source of the high noise. We are looking at providing alternatives such as metal pressers to reduce the noise level. In addition, to the metal workers, we have started with providing training to three other groups in the sector: construction workers, carpenters and joinery, and another small group metals workers with a bit different product focus than the first group.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Metal workers in small scale industries are involved in different metal fabrications activities using scraps and metals. They produce metal products such as pans, basins, spoons, boards, boxes, cookers, baking items and spoons. These metal fabrication activities produce noise. Noise is unwanted, unpleasant and louder sound which results in adverse health effects. Loud intensity and repeated long term exposure of noise may cause hearing loss among metal workers.The aim of this study was to determine noise exposure level and create a basis for improving adverse health effects related to the noise levels among metal workers in small scale industries in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Methods This was a cross-sectional study design, conducted among 66 metal workers from three small scale industrial workers in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Personal noise measurement was done using personal noise dosimeter (Brüel and Kjær type 4448) at average time of 7 hours and 48 minutes. Results and discussion The average equivalent noise level and peak noise level among metal workers in small scale industrial workers were 94.6dBA (S. D=5.5) and 138.8dBA (S. D= 4.4) respectively. The average equivalent noise level ranges from 90.7dBA to 99.3dBA and mean exposure level was significantly different among the small scale industries. Discussion and conclusion High noise levels were reported in this study and they were all above occupational exposure limit of 85dBA. Thus these workers may develop hearing loss and other health problems at this workplace.

Abstract:

Introduction: This study aims to analyze the comparison of lead content in blood between gas station attendants, bodywork industry workers, and metal smelting industry workers. Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal that can have dangerous effects on human health. Lead exposure can occur through various sources, including the work environment. Method: The research used is a literature study by collecting articles published between 2013-2023. After selection, there were 18 articles that were relevant to the research topic. Results and Discussion: The average lead content in the blood of gas station attendants ranges from 2.75 μg/dL to 35,317 μg/dL, bodywork industry workers range from 14.4 μg/dL to 35 μg/dL, and metal smelting industry workers range from 14.4 μg/dL. dL up to 50.83 μg/dL. Differences in levels of lead exposure between these three professions can be caused by differences in type of work, activities and work environment. Conclusion: Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that gas station officers, bodywork industry workers, and metal smelting industry workers have different levels of exposure to lead. Therefore, appropriate health protection, such as the use of PPE and safe work practices, needs to be implemented to reduce the risk of lead exposure.

Abstract:

Background: Occupational exposure to metal dust particles leads to irritation and initiation of inflammatory responses in the respiratory system that subsequently onsets lung diseases. Lathe machine workers have a greater risk of having lung diseases due to continuously conducting metal dust particles. This study aimed to explore the pulmonary health status of lathe machine workers. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 80 individuals (lathe workers) were adopted from a different area of the Tangail district in Bangladesh. A questionnaire’s survey was accomplished along with oximetry and spirometry. After that, blood was drawn for measuring Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and Immunoglobulin E (IgE) test to the lung function abnormalities. Results: Among 80 lathe machine workers, 12% had breathing problems, 13.8% had coughing, 16.2% had to sneeze and 8.7% had a chest. In addition, spirometry results including, FVC, FEV1, FEV1%, PEF, PEF%, FEF25, FEF75, and FEF2575 were significantly lower in lathe workers compared to control. Moreover, higher levels of IgE (264.93±141) and ESR (11.5±4.77) were reported in lathe machine workers than in the control group. Not using protective masks and smoking were considered as risk factors for having respiratory diseases in lathe machine workers. Conclusion: This study concludes that exposure to metal dust particles can cause respiratory disease symptoms and lower pulmonary function in lathe machine workers. Furthermore, metal dust might also augment the blood IgE and ESR level.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Mining is a high-risk activity due to its dangerous processes. Tin (Sn) is obtained from cassiterite ore and mining activities expose workers to the metal. Chronic exposure to Sn may cause pneumoconiosis, gastrointestinal and hematological effects, among others. This work aimed to assess the exposure of workers to tin in a cassiterite ore processing industry, using the speciation analysis in blood plasma. Twelve subjects donated the blood samples; six were occupationally exposed to Sn. Size exclusion chromatography separated proteins in blood plasma; a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer determined total tin in the plasma and eluted fractions, while SDS-PAGE determined molecular masses of proteins. Tin levels in the workers’ plasma were four times higher than in the reference individuals. After fractionation, the metal only appeared in the total inclusion volume, not being possible to confirm the binding of tin to proteins, which certainly modifies their functions and impair workers’ health. Despite that, the work process needs to change since Sn levels in the workers’ plasma pointed to metal exposure. Further works are necessary to clarify whether the metal is free or bound to small proteins in blood plasma and understand the true impact of tin on workers’ health.

Abstract:

Chromium commonly used as an anti-corrosive agent for electroplating. Clinical and laboratory evidence showed that inhaled chromium was very toxic. Talang, Tegal have several groups of metal coating workers. As an informal sector, they have no law enforcement and also health services. The workplaces have poor hygiene sanitation, poor workplace arrangement and they tend to ignore the usage of personal protective equipment. This research aimed to analyze the work capacity and chromium exposure on lung function capacity in metal coating workers. The study population was all metal coating workers in the Talang sub-district. While the subject of this study was purposively taken, they were consists of 35 workers that in productive age workers and do active metal coatings work. The independent variables of this study were exposure to chromium and work capacity. Dependent variable was lung function capacity. The parameters observed to find out lung function with spirometry examination. The Chi-square test were used in this research. The results showed that the levels of chromium in urine in workers averaged 21.16 µg/L. There was no relationship between age, length of work, and levels of chromium in urine with lung function capacity. Nutritional status has a relationship with lung function capacity.

Abstract:

Chromium (VI) is a form of chromium which commonly used in metal plating industry with engineering electroplating. The negative impacts for workers when contact with chromium are, skin irritation, nose, throat and lungs irritations. Research purposes are to describe the levels of chromium in the air and the blood of electroplating workers. This was an observational research design with cross sectional approach. Data analyzed by descriptive methods. Population of this research were electroplating workers of metal plating industry in Purbalingga. The samples were consisted of the respondents and environmental samples. The number of respondents were 8 workers which determinated purposive sampling methods. Environmental samples were obtained by measurements the levels of chromium in the air. The results showed that average level of chromium in the air 0.01 mg/m3. This level was appropriate to threshold limit value according to Peraturan Menteri Tenaga Kerja Dan Transmigrasi RI 13/MEN/X/2011. Most of electroplating workers (87.5%), had the high levels of chromium blood (1.7 μg/L) and exceeded the normal limit value. Metal coating business owners should regularly control the use of personal equipment for workers to reduce the exposure of chromium for them.

Abstract:

The metal smelting industry tends to have high air Pb levels exceeding the threshold determined by the CDC is 100 g/m3. The smelting dust particles are Pb and SO2 circulating in the air along with combustion fumes is very possible to be inhaled by metal smelters who do not wear proper personal protective equipment. High levels of Pb The air inhaled by metal smelters can affect the health level of workers, one of which is the disruption of the erythropoiesis process which can cause abnormal erythrocyte index levels. This study aims to determine the description of erythrocyte index levels in metal smelters based on literature studies. This research is an observational qualitative research through a literature review approach, with data collection methods that use secondary data from several related scientific journals. Secondary data analysis is descriptive and presented in tabular form. Based on the results of research from three related scientific journals, the average level of the erythrocyte index in metal smelting workers is normochromic normocytic with an average length of work of more than 3.89 years, workers who smoke as much as 78% and those who do not smoke as much as 22%, workers who using PPE as much as 56% and 44% who do not use PPE.

Abstract:

Using an extensive inquiry into the family income of Ghent artisans and cotton, linen, and metal workers around 1900, the research reported in this article examines the level and the composition of family income at different phases of the life-cycle. In the Belgian textile center Ghent, which was characterized by a low male wage level, married women made a substantial contribution to the family income, especially in the years before children started to earn a living. The family income per person of textile workers approached or even exceeded the income of metal workers and artisans despite the fact that heads' wages were lower: the textile families' strategy, consisting of an increased work effort of women and children, was successful in bridging the income gap. On the other hand, the wives of metal workers and artisans came closer to the realization of the domestic ideal.

Abstract:

Introduction: Occupational contact dermatitis can be interpreted as a health problem on the skin caused by exogenous and endogenous factors related to work. Electroplating is one of high-risk jobs that caused occupational contact dermatitis because of direct contact with chemicals during working. In addition, contact dermatitis is also affected by individual factors of each worker. This research purpose was to identify the relationship among endogenous factors and the occupational contact dermatitis case in metal coating workers in home industry. Method: The research design used was observational with a cross sectional approach. The total population was used as the sampling technique in this study with a total of 28 workers from two metal coating industries in Durungbanjar Village consisting 13 workers from CV. M and 15 workers from CV. N. The data were obtained from the survey, sighting, and medical record notes. Variables from the study included age, working period, history of illness, and personal hygiene. The data were processed using the coefficient contingency test. Result: There were 64.3% of electroplating workers experienced contact dermatitis. The age aspect has a weak relationship (c = 0.295), the working period element has a weak relationship (c = 0.298), the disease history factor has a weak relationship (c = 0.352) and the individual hygiene factor has a strong relationship (c = 0.547). Conclusion: The endogenous factors including age, working period, history of disease, and personal hygiene affect contact dermatitis case. There is a strong relationship between personal hygiene and contact dermatitis cases in metal coating workers. The worse personal hygiene of the workers, the higher risk of workers experiencing contact dermatitis. Age, working period, and history of disease had weak relationship with contact dermatitis case.Keywords: contact dermatitis, endogenous factors, metal coatings

Abstract:

In the late nineteenth century, American shipyards started building modern metal ships, a sector dominated by the British. But, they faced a challenge: a shortage of domestic workers with the skills to fabricate large metal ships. Using census of population data, this article describes how one important U.S. shipyard, Newport News Shipbuilding, overcame the shortage of skilled domestic workers to assemble an effective labor force. The results show that skilled immigrants, mainly from Britain, played an important role in the shipyard's early life while, over time, native workers were trained to fill skilled occupations.

Abstract:

AbstractBackground:There has been no previous research to demonstrate the risk of noise-induced hearing loss in industry in Nepal. Limited research on occupational noise-induced hearing loss has been conducted within small-scale industry worldwide, despite it being a substantial and growing cause of deafness in the developing world.Method:The study involved a cross-sectional audiometric assessment, with questionnaire-based examinations of noise and occupational history, and workplace noise level assessment.Results:A total of 115 metal workers and 123 hotel workers (control subjects) were recruited. Noise-induced hearing loss prevalence was 30.4 per cent in metal workers and 4.1 per cent in hotel workers, with a significant odds ratio of 10.3. Except for age and time in occupation, none of the demographic factors were significant in predicting outcomes in regression analyses. When adjusted for this finding, and previous noise-exposed occupations, the odds ratio was 13.8. Workplace noise was significantly different between the groups, ranging from 65.3 to 84.7 dBA in metal worker sites, and from 51.4 to 68.6 dBA in the control sites.Conclusion:Metal workers appear to have a greater risk of noise-induced hearing loss than controls. Additional research on occupational noise-induced hearing loss in Nepal and small-scale industry globally is needed.

Abstract:

Many lead used in a variety of industrial activity, one of them metal fusion. Lead distill most through inhalation, that comes from particle or vehicle fumes. Lead distill on worker metal fusion at Perkampungan Indutry Kecil (PIK) happened because the worker still incomplete in use self protection. High lead degree in blood, by will heart in detoxification by the kidneys as excretion organ in form of urine. Kidneys can excretion lead through urine the most is approximately 75-80%. The objective research know the level of lead (Pb) in the urine on workers metal fusion at PIK Kebasen Tegal regency. Research Methods an observational study. Nonprobability sampling technique using purposive sampling total 27 sample. The research data served in descriptive the shape of chart to describe level plumbum in urine metal fusion working. The study was conducted on January 29-30, 2020 at PIK Kebasen Tegal regency. Lead levels from 27 samples no metal fusion workers who have plumbum levels exceeding the threshold value of 0.01 mg/L.According to research conducted obtained the lead levels in urine on metal fusion workers above the threshold value is 0.01 mg/L
