The article analyzes the international and domestic experience in building a safety and hygiene management system. It is noted that the priorities in the process of ensuring safe and harmless working conditions for many developed countries are: revision and improvement of the legal framework for occupational safety and health, encouraging employers to ensure proper working conditions, and raising awareness of managers and employees on occupational safety and health. Recommendations for planning measures depending on the hazards present in enterprises and the results of risk assessment are contained in the documents of the International Labor Organization. Methods and methods of detection and assessment of risk factors can be chosen according to the characteristics of the workplace. Effective occupational risk reduction activities involve the implementation of a certain sequence of tools and management methods (control hierarchy), as specified in the international standard ISO 45001. It is proposed to use the following priorities for risk reduction: elimination of hazards, replacement of processes, operations, materials or equipment for less dangerous, the use of technical means and methods of management, reorganization of work and training of employees, administrative control of hazards, personal protective equipment. According to the results of the research, in the absence of resources for the implementation of measures of the highest priorities, the most effective approach was the combination of technical means and management methods, reorganization of work and training, as well as administrative control of hazards. To implement occupational health and safety management systems based on a risk-based approach, it is necessary, first of all, to develop and approve a methodology that determines the procedure for calculating occupational risk and ensure that the results of risk assessment are taken into account when planning preventive measures.

The Impact

The aim of this work is improving the procedure for professional risk assessment of passenger bus drivers, taking into account ergonomic, psychosocial, individual, and hygienic factors. To develop the methodology for assessing the professional risk of drivers the theory of analysis was used, which allows to establish alternative solutions of the problem by determining an integrated criterion that depends on a number of individual indicators characterized by ergonomic, psychosocial, individual, and hygienic factors influencing the working conditions of the passenger bus driver. A checklist has been developed to quickly assess the occupational risk of passenger bus drivers, which takes into account the impact of several harmful production factors that contribute to the creation of unfavorable conditions for the occurrence of occupational diseases.  A feature of this approach is the ability to distinguish the level of risk for each harmful production factor and determine the overall level of occupational risk. It is recommended to reduce the effect of occupational risk on the driver of a passenger bus to improve the system of medical examinations, the system of admission to the vehicles driving in the implementation of passenger traffic and strengthen control over the technical condition of vehicles. The relationship between the integrated criterion of occupational risk of the driver and indicators that are characterized by ergonomic, psychosocial, individual, and hygienic factors, which are formed by the working conditions of the driver in the carriage of passengers. As a result, a new approach (checklist) is proposed, which can be used in trucking companies without any additional equipment after training in testing.

Introduction. To increase the effectiveness of social and hygienic monitoring of the health status of workers in harmful and/or dangerous occupation conditions by objectifying the analysis of the health status of workers and timely detection of premorbid forms of pathology, an informational medical advisory and diagnostic system is proposed that ensures the efficiency of using the previously developed methodological recommendations MR 2.2.9.0148-19 “Assessment of the risk of developing states of distress in workers in harmful working conditions”. Materials and methods. The design of the developed computer program is based on the principles of critical assessment of the employee’s health status; multiparametric characteristics of the functional reserves of the body; unity of the information base; the possibility of dynamic monitoring of the health status of employees; automation of data storage and analysis; protection of personal data. Results. The method used by the information system is based on a comprehensive assessment of the functional reserves of the body, correlated by the degree of adaptive stress, including the ranking of the employee health status according to the group of dispensary records, the indicator of adaptive compliance and the level of adaptive immunity. To facilitate the operator’s information support system integrated the List of harmful and (or) hazardous occupation factors, the presence of which is a mandatory preliminary and periodic medical examinations (surveys) and reference weight values, heart rate and blood pressure corresponding to the physiological norm concerning gender and age of the employee. Conclusion. The proposed information system can be used during periodic medical examinations to form risk groups for the development of occupational and production-related morbidity, as well as to assess the effectiveness of hygienic and therapeutic and preventive measures aimed at improving the health of workers in harmful occupation conditions.

The Impact

Eligibility criteria for participation in mental health jail diversion programs often specify that, to be diverted, a candidate must not pose a level of threat to public safety that cannot be managed in the community. Risk assessment tools were developed to increase consistency and accuracy in estimates of threat to public safety. Consequently, risk assessment tools are being used in many jurisdictions to inform decisions regarding an individual’s appropriateness and eligibility for mental health jail diversion and the strategies that may be successful in mitigating risk in this context. However, their use is not without controversy. Questions have been raised regarding the validity and equity of their estimates, as well as the impact of their use on criminal justice outcomes. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the science and practice of risk assessment to inform decisions and case planning in the context of mental health jail diversion programs. Our specific aims include: (1) to describe the process and components of risk assessment, including differentiating between different approaches to risk assessment, and (2) to consider the use of risk assessment tools in mental health jail diversion programs. We anchor this review in relevant theory and extant research, noting current controversies or debates and areas for future research. Overall, there is strong theoretical justification and empirical evidence from other criminal justice contexts; however, the body of research on the use of risk assessment tools in mental health jail diversion programs, although promising, is relatively nascent.

Abstract This investigation was carried out in the frames of the Interreg 4A project “Workability and Social Inclusion” headed by the Arcada University of Applied Life. Tallinn University of Technology and Rīga Stradiņš University were involved in the project. A questionnaire based on the Nordic, WAI (Work Ability Index), and Kiva questionnaires was compiled to study psychosocial and physical working conditions at computer-equipped workplaces for 192 workers. The results showed that the computer workers assess their health status considerably high. They are optimistic in solving the problem that the monotonous work with computers will continue and believe that their health status in the future will stay at the same level using the steadily enhancing rehabilitation means. The most injured regions of the body were the right wrist and the neck. The novelty of the study consists in the graphical co-analysis of different groups of questions presented to the workers, which allows to assess the physiological and psychological factors in complex. The rehabilitation means have to be developed and the possibility for rehabilitation must be made available to the greatest possible number of workers. The workers were divided into two groups: Group A, the length of employment with computers under 10 years (included) and Group B, having been working with computers over 10 years. These groups were found to differ in the perception of psychosocial risk factors at the workplace. Group B assessments for psychosocial working conditions were better than those of group A. In group B, employees appeared to be more afraid of losing their jobs and therefore they were not so demanding for the work atmosphere as in group A.

Back pain is one of the most common causes of temporary disability (TD) and medical aid appealability. Pain syndrome of lumbosacral localization is typical for the class of diseases of the musculoskeletal system (DMSS). The factors of workload be the cause of the development of occupationally determined DMSS. Given the possibility of the impact of same factors on traffic policemen, it seems relevant to study the risk of developing DMSS in this group workers.The aim of study based on the study of working conditions of traffic police inspectors and the prevalence of BCMS among THEM to assess the degree of professional conditioning of the analyzed diseases.The assessment of working conditions of inspectors of traffic police with measurement of levels of influence of professional factors was carried out. Retrospective analysis of health status was carried out according to the data of outpatient cards (431 cards) and sick leaves (568 sheets for 369 people), as well as subjectively according to the results of a survey (117 questionnaires) in different age and age groups. Nonparametric and parametric methods of variational statistics were used to establish the reliability of the differences.Working conditions of traffic police inspectors-harmful fourth degree (class 3.4), limiting factors were the microclimate (3.3), tension (3.3) and the severity of work (3.2). Predicted index of occupational diseases — 0,5–1,0 — very high (intolerable) occupational risk. BCMS ranked 1st in the structure of morbidity and amounted to 37.12±2.3 cases per 100 workers–2.8 times higher than the average. The linear character of the increase in the cases of BKMS with experience was observed (approximation coefficient R2=0.98; p<0.001). The increase in the number of cases of BCMS in the group with experience of 10 years or more compared to the group up to 5 years is statistically significant: χ2=29.79 (p<0.001).The linear nature of the dependence of the increase in the number of diseases with experience was revealed. Professional conditionality of development of BKMS in group of inspectors of traffic police traffic police is statistically proved. The level of relative occupational risk in the BCMS class is high.
