Work Accidents

Wood product manufacturing involves many dangerous activities and a high incidence of work-related accidents. The objective of this study was to analyze registered and unregistered work accidents, as well as the most frequent type and rate increase over the years for different activities of wood product manufacture in Brazil. Total accidents were counted including both unregistered and registered accidents. The accidents were classified as either a typical accident, a commuting accident or occupational diseases. Evaluated production was subdivided into sawmill operations, manufacture of laminated wood and plywood, wood-derived pressed and agglomerated sheets, and furniture with a predominance of wood. Wood production presented 2,849,470 direct jobs. For the furniture manufacturing sub-sector, there was an increase in the growth rate for direct jobs. However, there was a greater number of total accidents and an increase in the rate of number of accidents over time. For sawmills and the manufacture of laminated wood and slabs, there was a decreasing trend in the rate of direct jobs and accidents. Of the total number of accidents, more than 20% were not reported. The primary accident incidence was the typical accident (88.3%), followed by commuting accidents (9.5%) and lastly occupational diseases (2.1%).

The work accidents and occupational diseases are very important especially in the industrializing countries. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO) every 15 seconds, a worker dies from a work-related accident or disease. Every 15 seconds, 160 workers have a work-related accident. Every day, 6.300 people die as a result of occupational accidents or work-related diseases–more than 2,3 million deaths per year. The economic burden of poor occupational safety and health practices is estimated at 4 per cent of global Gross Domestic Product each year. In Turkey, work accidents’ figures are very high but occupational diseases’ figures are not very high. There are several causes of this condition. In Turkey, the Work Accidents, Occupational Diseases and Maternity Act No. 4772 was accepted in 1947. The Social Security and General Health Insurance Act No.5510 was accepted in 2006. There are regulations about the work accident and occupational disease insurance in the Act. According to the Act, insured and the rights holders can obtain some assistance.

We assessed neuroticism, perceived stress, and work-related factors among obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns), and examined the relationships between these variables. Surveys were sent to 500 physician members of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and we received 287 (57.4%) completed responses. Analyses included descriptive statistics and linear regressions. Ob-gyns reported high levels of perceived stress. After controlling for neuroticism, variables that significantly predicted stress levels included average hours worked, perception of working too many hours, colleague support for work–home balance, isolation due to gender/cultural differences, and perception of workplace control. Because these work-related factors are linked to stress even when controlling for neuroticism, administrators and physicians may consider whether any of these factors are modifiable to mitigate physician stress. This in turn may affect physicians' own health and the quality of care patients receive.

O objetivo do artigo é analisar os empregos diretos e os acidentes de trabalho ocorridos na produção florestal, em plantadas, nativas e atividades de apoio. Para cada atividade, no período de 2006 a 2014, foi contabilizado o número de empregos diretos, acidentes totais, registrados, típicos, de trajeto e doenças do trabalho e os acidentes não registrados. Foram ajustados modelos de tendência para cálculo das taxas de crescimento anual dos empregos diretos e dos acidentes de trabalho. Foi utilizada a correlação linear de Pearson para explicar a relação entre o número de empregos diretos e os acidentes da produção florestal. O número de empregos diretos gerados na produção de plantadas e nativas aumentou nos últimos 8 anos. Apenas para o setor de atividades de apoio decresceu o quadro de trabalhadores. Dentre os acidentes contabilizados, as plantadas apresentaram, em média, o maior número de acidentes, seguidos pelas atividades de apoio e produção de nativas. Muitos acidentes ocorridos não são comunicados, dando prejuízos aos acidentados quanto à reivindicação de seus direitos. Dos acidentes registrados o principal tipo corresponde ao acidente típico. Fortes correlações foram encontradas entre os empregos diretos e os acidentes totais para as florestas plantadas e atividades de apoio.Palavras-chave: empregos diretos; acidentes; cadeia produtiva. FOREST PRODUCTION WORK SAFETY ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to analyze the direct employment and work accidents that occurred in forest production, in plantations, native and support activities. For each activity, in the period from 2006 to 2014, the number of direct jobs, total, registered, typical, commuting and work-related accidents and unrecorded accidents were recorded. Trend models were calculated for the calculation of the annual growth rates of direct jobs and work accidents. Pearson's linear correlation was used to explain the relationship between the number of direct jobs and the accidents of forestry production. The number of direct jobs generated in plantation and native production has increased over the past 8 years. Only for the sector of support activities has the workforce declined. Among the accidents recorded, the planted had, on average, the largest number of accidents, followed by activities of support and production of natives. Many accidents occurred are not communicated, giving damage to the injured in claiming their rights. Of the accidents recorded the main type corresponds to the typical accident. Strong correlations were found between direct jobs and total accidents for planted forests and support activities.Keywords: direct jobs; accidents; productive chain.

Work Accidents

Workplaces always have various hazard factors that can affect the health of the workforce or can cause work-related disorders or illnesses. Accidents, the essence is an unexpected event and certainly not expected by anyone. These unexpected events, obviously not a form of intentional and not planned in advance. Accidents arise as a result of managing potential hazards and risks to low occupational safety and health. The purpose of the study was to analyze the factors that influence employee work accidents at PT. Windu Blambangan Sejati (WBS) Banyuwangi Regency. The research design used was cross sectional. The research population is all employees of PT. Windu Blambangan Sejati (WBS) Banyuwangi Regency and a large sample of 81 people using simple random sampling. Data collection using questionnaire sheets was then analyzed using logistic regression tests. The results showed that there was an influence of skills on workplace accidents (p-value = 0.027 <0.05). There is an influence of experience on workplace accidents (p-value = 0.043 <0.05). There is an influence of discipline on workplace accidents (p-value = 0.040 <0.05). There is an influence of Technical factors (availability of equipment) on workplace accidents (p-value = 0.003 <0.05). There is no effect of lay out on work accidents (p-value = 0.420> 0.05). There is no effect of lighting on work accidents (p-value = 0.944> 0.05). There is no noise effect on work accidents (p-value = 0.084> 0.05). Based on these studies, company management pays more attention to these three factors, namely human, technical and environmental by conducting periodic and periodic maintenance

Background: Anthropometric studies are essential in furniture design to ensure comfortability and improved productivity of the users. Methods: Anthropometry of 407 from a population of 5601 students, and classroom furniture at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology were evaluated. Student’s comfortability and reported musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in using the furniture were assessed with two questionnaires. Participants who volunteered for the study were randomly selected and had no previous history of MSDs. Descriptive statistics of the collected data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The participant's aged ranged from 17 to 28 years, and mostly were female (61%). The fitness between student’s anthropometry and classroom furniture included underneath table height for the imported plastic furniture and chair seat depth and width, as well as underneath table height for the locally manufactured wooden furniture. We observed high incidence of MSDs, including upper back (71.40%), lower back (58.30%), neck (51.90%), joint (39.10%), shoulder (32%), knee (25.20%), and wrist (22.60%) pain. The prevalence of MSDs were higher in women than men. The majority of the students were uncomfortable with using the furnitures, and only 6.6% reported comfortable experience. Conclusion: Recommended dimensions for ergonomically designed furniture have been proposed to reduce MSDs in the students. It would improves student’s health, and promote comfortability.

1573 Background: National Cancer Institute (NCI) and nonprofit organization (NPO) funding is critical for research and advocacy, but may not be equitable across cancers. This could negatively impact clinical trial development for underfunded cancers. Methods: This study evaluated funding from the NCI and NPOs with > $5 million in annual revenue supporting leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, prostate, ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancers from 2015-2018 based on publically available reports and tax records. The primary objectives were to assess for disparities in NCI and NPO funding across different cancers compared to their median incidence and mortality from 2015-2018, and to determine if underfunding correlates with fewer clinical trials found in clinicaltrials.gov. Correlations between combined NCI and NPO funding for each cancer and its incidence, mortality and number of clinical trials were evaluated using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: Diseases with the largest combined NCI+NPO funding were breast ($3.75 billion), leukemia ($1.99 billion) and lung cancer ($1.56 billion). Those with the least funding were endometrial ($94 million), cervical ($292 million), and hepatobiliary cancers ($348 million). These data are summarized in the Table. Disease-specific NCI+NPO funding correlated well with incidence, but less so with mortality (Pearson correlation coefficients: 0.74 and 0.63, respectively). Disease-specific NPO funding correlated moderately well with incidence, but was poorly correlated with mortality (Pearson correlation coefficients: 0.54 and 0.39, respectively). Breast cancer, leukemia and lymphoma were consistently well-funded compared to their incidence and mortality, while colorectal, lung, hepatobiliary and uterine cancers were consistently underfunded. The amount of NCI funding, NPO funding and combined NCI+NPO funding for a particular cancer each correlated strongly with the number of clinical trials for that disease (Pearson correlation coefficients: 0.88, 0.87 and 0.91, respectively). Conclusions: Many cancers with high incidence and mortality are underfunded. Cancers with higher mortality rates receive less funding, particularly from NPOs. Underfunding strongly correlates with fewer clinical trials, which could impede future advances in underfunded cancers.[Table: see text]

The results of studies are presented, they allow to formulate recommendations on principal problems of unification in the field of statistics of occupational diseases. There are several definitions of occupational diseases in Russia, but they are outdated and do not correspond to the concept of occupational risk recognized in the Labour Code of the Russian Federation. It is proposed to adopt the WHO concept of work-related illnesses and give it a legal status.

Lost Productivity

Occupational health is the ‘promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental, and social well-being of workers in all occupations’. Work-related ill-health and injuries cause considerable mortality and morbidity to workers worldwide, and are a major cause of disability, lost productivity, and sickness absence. In the occupational setting, workers may suffer from occupational diseases (those directly caused by workplace hazards); ‘work-related diseases’ (those that are multifactorial in origin with occupational exposures contributing to part of the aetiology); and non-occupational diseases that affect the general population. Primary, secondary, and tertiary preventive measures can be used to reduce the burden of disease at the workplace. Prevention of occupational ill-health requires an understanding of the work processes, the range and extent of exposures to hazards, and the steps that may be available to reduce exposure. It also requires recognition of vulnerable occupational groups such as workers in developing nations, migrant workers, child labour, women workers, and impaired workers. The standard hierarchy of control strategies for reducing exposure to workplace hazards includes elimination, substitution, isolation, engineering measures, administrative procedures, and personal protective equipment. The workplace can be a suitable venue for health promotion activities although this should not be at the expense of elimination and control of exposure to occupational hazards. As occupational health practice has evolved to consideration of health issues beyond the ‘factory gate’, the discipline now has much in common with environmental health and encompasses the philosophy and principles of good public health practice.
