High Risk Occupation

Voice disorders are a common occupational hazard of teaching school. This article provides an overview of recent epidemiological research surrounding this high-risk occupation, identifies possible mechanisms contributing to voice disorder development including vibration overdose, summarizes recent clinical trials research evaluating treatments for teachers with voice disorders, and discusses primary prevention and the relative inadequacy of “education only” approaches.

High Risk Occupation

The study involved 180 Nigerian butchers and 180 traders (controls) selected by multistage stratified sampling who had their sera assayed for HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The butchers and the controls had an HBsAg sero-prevalence rate of 9.4% and 3.3%, respectively. Various risky practices were more common among the butchers but their hepatitis B antigenaemia was not related to the duration of their occupational exposure. The study shows that the butchers constitute a high risk occupation for hepatitis B viral infection.
