Abstract:

The publication deals with the issue of safety engineering and occupational health and safety interms of the areas of knowledge, education and science. Safety engineering is an area of knowledge,an area of education (field of higher studies), an area of science (a new discipline in the fieldof engineering and technical sciences). On the other hand, occupational health and safety is anarea of knowledge (e.g.: occupational health and safety service, legal information, standardizationinformation, industry information), an area of education (e.g.: training in the field of occupationalhealth and safety, occupation of an occupational health and safety technician, field of higherstudies, postgraduate studies), yet it is not an autonomous area of science as an independentscientific discipline (it has a chance of becoming a research area or scientific specialty in thediscipline of safety engineering). The scope of the publication comprises selected aspects of safetyengineering, selected aspects of occupational health and safety and a review of requirements in thefield of occupational risk assessment. The research and analyses included publicly available datain the field of higher education and science system (including: POL-on system, RAD-on system,Polish Science database, website of the Council of Scientific Excellence): universities offering fieldsof study in safety engineering and occupational health and safety, entities and persons conductingresearch activities in safety engineering, entities authorized to award doctoral degrees andhabilitated doctor degrees in safety engineering, persons declaring scientific specialties in safetyengineering and occupational health and safety. In the higher education and science system, thefollowing were identified: two entities authorized to award doctoral degrees and habilitated doctordegrees in safety engineering (the Fire University, the WSB University), nine entities conductingscientific activities in the discipline of safety engineering and 113 people conducting scientificactivities in the discipline of safety engineering (people with at least a doctoral degree, including13 people with the academic title of professor and 32 people with the academic degree of associateprofessor).

Abstract:

Occupational safety and health are key issues today, with growing industrialization and labor market. To introduce and maintain a high standard of safety and health at workplace, it is essential to have an overall picture of the present workplace scenario, different hazards and probable health effects. This is a review of all previously published articles on occupational safety and health in Nepal. Key words such as Nepal, Occupation, Safety, and Health were used to search for relevant articles in PUBMED and Google Scholar. A total of 15 research articles were found, which dealt with different forms of work, like agriculture, health services, child labor, small scale household industries, brick kilns, and textile factories. The overall status of occupational safety and health does not look satisfactory. Standard work situations and criteria have to be set up and regular monitoring should be done to ensure the maintenance of quality at work.

Abstract:

The article examines the system of legal and regulatory framework of occupatioal safety and industrial safety for the enterprises in the coal industry. Analysis of the international and Russian legislation showed the close relationship and interdependence of safety regulation in these areas of law. A significant contribution to the development of legal regulation of the occupational safety and industrial (production) safety was made by the conventions of the International Labor Organization. In 1995, the International Labor Organization adopted the Occupational Safety and Health in Mines Convention, which sets the norms relating to both occupational health and safety. In Russia, the key legislative acts regulating relations in the areas under consideration are the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the Federal Law «On Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities». The article provides an overview of the functions and powers of the federal executive authorities in the field of occupational safety and industrial safety, and also analyzes the types of regulations establishing requirements in these areas, and the federal norms and rules in the field of industrial safety at the coal industry facilities. Based on the conducted analysis, the following conclusion was made: organizational and technical requirements for occupational safety are in systemic unity with the industrial safety requirements established in federal standards and regulations. Other occupational safety requirements aimed at ensuring a system for preserving the life and health of the employees in the process of work should be established in the Occupational health and safety rules for the employees in the coal industry.

Abstract:

Abstract Despite its economic relevance, the informal sector in Nigeria is plagued by occupational health and safety (ohs) anomalies. This study assessed ohs conditions among informal sector workers (isw s) operating in three Nigerian cities (Sokoto, Owerri and Port Harcourt). A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a total of 717 isw s. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. Logistic regression was used in predicting good ohs practices, based on gender, education level, occupation, health impairments and common health and safety practices. The findings show that many isw s have inadequate water sources and sanitary facilities and poor occupational health and safety practices. The overall model was statistically significant in predicting the likelihood of having good ohs practices. The study concludes that ohs conditions among isw s are poor as a result of insufficient water and sanitation facilities and poor environmental health practices. Improved water and sanitation provision and ohs awareness and education programmes for isw s, in line with their specific occupations and susceptibility to certain kinds of occupational health impairment, are recommended.

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate occupational risk among dental practitioners and its associated factors. Ma-terials and Methods. A total of 505 dentists and other dental staff from Korean dental institutions were includedin this study. A self-report questionnaire on demographic characteristics, perception and experience of occupa-tional hazards, the prevalence of chronic diseases, and type of musculoskeletal problems, were distributed to the participants. A logistic regression model was used to identify factors affecting the perception of occupational hazards. Results. Among the participants, 61.58% were dentists and 38.42% were dental staff (dental hygien-ists, dental technologists, and other office workers). Overall, 48.12% had a serious perception of occupationalhazards, and 77.53% had experienced occupational hazards. The common occupational hazards encounteredwere stress (20.58%), exposure to hazardous materials (15.44%), and cross-infections (14.75%). Regardless ofparticipants’ occupation and their perception of occupational hazards, musculoskeletal problems had the high-est prevalence (35.94%) (neck/shoulder pain [35.53%], lower back pain [24.74%], and wrist pain [19.07%]).Those with experience of occupational hazards and musculoskeletal problems were more likely to recognize occupational hazards (odds ratio 5.186 and 1.535, respectively; p<0.05). Conclusion. Approximately half of the dental workers were aware of the risk of occupational hazards. This study highlighted that the more the partici-pants experience occupational hazards, the more likely they are to recognize occupational hazards. The high prevalence of physical and mental occupational hazards indicates the need for preventive measures to reduce occupational risk in dental practices.

Abstract:

AbstractThe relevance of this work is intertwined with the problems of development of an occupational safety and health management system in the field of transport. Good working conditions and optimal safety should be of the priorities of the company management, because the safety and health together with profitability, quality and environment conservation are an integral aspect of their responsibilities. The realization that the safety and health of the employees are important indicators of the company is good understanding of the economic and organization benefits. The basic but underestimated factors for increasing the effectiveness of work are ensuring health and safety at work. Their provision within the organization’s context leads to decreasing expenses of any nature, to improving the organization’s image before the competitors and not last to increasing the effectiveness of labour.

Abstract:

Abstract Agriculture is one of the most hazardous occupations and many agricultural workers suffer occupational illness every year. The biggest challenge is exposure to pesticides and the risk assessment, as well as early detection of diseases among agricultural workers. Occupational health and safety in farm workers exposed to pesticides must be given importance. This session will address the new approaches to pesticide exposure assessment, especially in the situation of combined exposure to different active ingredients of pesticides. The development of new tools for preventive risk assessment, and surveillance will enhance the occupational health and safety of farm workers.

Abstract:

Occupational health and safety aims to promote and maintain optimal physical, mental, and social health for workers in their occupations. Within Saudi Arabia, adequate information must be gathered to address the various factors influencing occupational health and safety among nursing students to minimize occupational health hazards and ensure a safe clinical environment. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between April and September 2023, involving 150 nursing students. Data collection included questions to gather sociodemographic information, and contained an instrument assessing the participants’ knowledge of occupational health and safety and evaluation of risk control in clinical environments. Blood and other bodily fluids, workplace violence, needle-stick injuries, and injuries caused by sharp instrument tools were identified as the most prevalent occupational risks among the participants. Most nursing students were aware of occupational health and safety, with a high level of compliance with occupational health and safety measures and personal protective equipment use. We also identified a statistically significant correlation between occupational health and safety knowledge and risk control evaluation among nursing students. To ensure a safe and beneficial clinical training area, student nurses must complete extensive occupational health and safety courses before moving to clinical areas to reduce potential hazards that may affect their lives.

Abstract:

Workers in every occupation face a multitude of hazards in the work place - occupational health and. Safety addresses the broad range of workplace hazards from accident prevention to the more insidious hazards, including toxic fumes, dust, noise, heat, stress, etc. Preventing work-related diseases and accidents must be the goal of occupational health and safety programs. The occupational health service is a link in the work organization. Human life is high in the hierarchy of values for the health professions. Health is a major determinant of the quality of life. Societal values have greater importance in the world of labor, with its complex informal and formal social structures. The cultural values of both workers and the community at large have to be considered. Present-day technology is a valuable asset if its limitations are understood. Computers and their software already provide thoroughly tested systems of data recording, processing, retrieval, and analysis, obviating the need for other records and occupational health services. The occupational illness burden is growing at an increasing rate. The profile of occupational illness has also been modified over a period due to modernization, liberalization, and globalization. Trained human resources in the field of occupational health and safety are far below the requirement. Hence, there is an urgent need for framing suitable policy, developing newer strategies, and developing our knowledge about occupational health and safety measures. Traditional training in occupational health needs to be supplemented with modern techniques.

Abstract:

In recent years, the economy of enterprises has developed rapidly. Most enterprises focus on economic interests and ignore the occupational health of employees, resulting in an increase in the occupational morbidity rate of employees. Occupational insecurity of corporate employees will reduce the work efficiency of employees. In turn, it will affect the economic development of the enterprise. Paying attention to the occupational health and safety development of corporate employees is a necessary measure for corporate economic development. The main reasons that endanger the occupational health of employees are the unreasonable discharge of pollutants and the substandard treatment of pollutants. The sustainable environmental strategy of enterprise development can well control the risk factors that endanger the occupation of enterprise employees, and it is conducive to the health and safety development of enterprise employees and enterprises. This paper studied the impact of sustainable environmental factors on the occupational health and safety development of enterprise employees through the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and analyzed the impact on the occupation of enterprise employees according to the larger influencing factors. The experimental results showed that heavy metal wastewater, dust, hydrogen sulfide gas, and high-temperature radiation are the four most weighted impact indicators. Different concentrations of these four indicators are tested; when the concentration value of these impact indicators is low, it has little impact on the occupational safety and development of enterprise employees. However, when the concentration increases, the occupational safety and development of enterprise employees are seriously reduced. When the safety is the lowest, it is only 20%, and the development is only 23%. Carrying out sustainable environmental development can reduce the discharge of industrial waste; hence, while protecting the environment, the occupational health and safety and development potential of employees can be improved.

Abstract:

Background: The occupational safety and health diagnostic (OSH) constitutes a first step for the design of national programs and ongoing reviews of existing regulations.Â The OSH diagnostic performed in Ecuador in 2011 is devastating due to the high labor accidentsâ€™ toll, the scarce official information, lack of high-level academic education, and insufficient research.Objective: To diagnose the current state of occupational safety and health in Ecuador from official sources of information.Methods: We examined the geographical situation, sociodemographic and public health data, legal regulations, statistics on occupational accidents and diseases, training and research on OSH in Ecuador between 2010 to 2015. The main sources of data and information were: national laws and regulations on OSH, conventions of the International Labor Organization, resolutions of the Andean Community of Nations, and official web pages of national public bodies. In addition, we analyzed the scientific production on OSH of authors with Ecuadorian affiliation, carried out in Ecuador, and published in journals indexed in the main scientific databases.Results: In Ecuador, the rate of employment is 94,3%, and 40% is recognized as adequate employment. The percentage of the working population covered by the social security has raised during the period of study, but it remains around 42% of this population. The country has ratified the 32 ILO OSH conventions and has adopted regional regulatory instruments. The national OSH legal body starts with the Constitution. A total of 99.156 occupational injuries and 2.733 occupational were notified, showing a significant increase from 2010 to 2015. Regarding fatal occupational accidents, 1.524 cases were notified. Training in OSH is focused on occupational risk prevention. Twelve scientific articles on OSH from authors of Ecuadorian affiliation and developed in a national context were identified.Conclusions: OSH status in Ecuador faces a persistent high toll of informal workers, an aging working population, an increase of work accidents, a scarce scientific evidence and an outdated legislation. The design of a OSH National Plan should become a priority in order to improve working conditions and health in Ecuador.

Abstract:

Any job comes with different occupational hazards. Office-bounded positions had become pervasive over the past years. Moreover, the pandemic crisis experienced in 2020 shifted these jobs to a home office, generating unexpected hazards. The case study presented below collected primary data from 409 university employees through biometric screenings and analyzed it using descriptive and inferential statistics. Chi-square tests established statistically significant associations between type of occupation and characteristics such as gender, body mass index, blood and urine sample laboratory results, and age. Logistic regression determined two significant factors that contribute to occupational diagnosis (gender and physical exam results). In addition, the study identified clinical problems and pathologies related to mental work. These results were pivotal for identifying specific work hazards such as obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, eye problems, and metabolic diseases and how they affect health and safety in the workplace.

Abstract:

The traditional theory of occupational safety has played an important role in promoting the development of occupational safety. Its use effectively reduced the number of casualties and saved thousands of lives. However, it turned out that the "margin effect" has become more and more obvious. World statistics show that the number of accidents at the workplace has dropped to a certain level and can no longer be reduced to zero. This means that it is necessary to search for new methods in theory that would help reduce the number of accidents. A review of recent articles in this field shows us new trends in the development of safety and safety at work. The Chinese study looked at the benefits of the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) in the construction industry. Safety-Related Data (SRDs) are important factors for making Safety Decision-Making (SDM) in a company. A systematic approach to risk assessment in the field of occupational safety and health is linked to a new process for identifying risk factors together with weighing the influence of these risk factors. For the weight of the factors in adverse events, a multi-criteria model is used to analyze the analytical hierarchy. Using appropriate Big Data processing, we can achieve more efficient forecasting of crisis events that lead to accidents at work.
