    Opis:
    Introduction The study aimed at measuring exhaled breath malondialdehyde (EBC-MDA) in workers exposed to dust containing silica and at its comparison with the non-exposed control group. Material and methods The cross sectional, case-control study (N = 50) was performed in a tile and ceramics production factory in Yazd, Iran. EBC-MDA was quantified in exhaled breath of the participants by a lab made breath sampler. Exposure intensity was measured according to the NIOSH 0600 method in selected homogeneous exposure groups. Additionally, spirometry test was conducted to investigate a correlation between EBC-MDA and spirometric findings in the exposed workers. Results There was no difference in the observed exposure intensities of silica containing dust in different units. However, “coating preparation” was the unit with the highest concentration of dust. Although, the level of EBC-MDA in the cases was slightly higher than in the controls, the difference was not statistically significant (U = 252, p = 0.464). A significant and positive correlation was found between dust exposure intensity in working units and the measured EBC-MDA of workers (r = 0.467, N = 25, p = 0.027). There were also no statistically significant differences among job categories in the exposed group for the values of FEV1% (F(3, 44) = 0.656, p = 0.584), FVC% (F(3, 44) = 1.417, p = 0.172), and FEV1/FVC% (F(3, 44) = 1.929, p = 0.139). Conclusions The results showed a significant correlation between respirable dust exposure intensity and the level of EBC-MDA of the exposed subjects. However, our results did not show a significant correlation between lung function decreases and EBC-MDA.

    Opis:
    Objective: The role of occupational hazards in occupational injury may be mediated by individual factors across various age groups. This study assessed the role of occupational hazards as well as contribution of individual factors to injuries among Indian and French coalminers. Material and Methods: We conducted a case-control study on 245 injured workers and on 330 controls without any injuries from Indian coal mines using face-to-face interviews, and a retrospective study on 516 French coalminers using a self-administered questionnaire including potential occupational and personal factors. Data were analyzed using logistic models. Results: The annual rate of injuries was 5.5% for Indian coalminers and 14.9% for the French ones. Logistic model including all occupational factors showed that major injury causes were: hand-tools, material handling, machines, and environment/work-geological/strata conditions among Indian miners (adjusted oddsratios 2.01 to 3.30) and biomechanical exposure score among French miners (adjusted odds-ratio 3.01 for score the 1-4, 3.47 for the score 5-7, and 7.26 for score ≥ 8, vs. score 0). Personal factors among Indian and French coalminers reduced/exacerbated the roles of various occupational hazards to a different extent depending on workers' age. Conclusion: We conclude that injury roles of occupational hazards were reduced or exacerbated by personal factors depending on workers' age in both populations. This knowledge is useful when designing prevention which should definitely consider workers' age.

    Opis:
    Objective: Sharp injuries constitute important occupational exposure in hospital environment, and perhaps the newly graduated medical and dental students, known as House Officers, in the first twelve months of their practice, are the most vulnerable of all health workers. This study was designed to examine the nature and prevalence of occupational injuries among medical and dental house officers and factors associated with reporting these injuries. Materials and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on demography, types of exposure, and barriers to official reporting of occupational injuries. One hundred and forty-four medical and dental house officers in 3 government owned hospitals in Edo State, Nigeria participated in the study, between April and May, 2010. Descriptive and multivariable analyses were performed. Results: The overall response rate was 96%. Out of all participants, 69.4% were male; 82.6% were medical house officers. Prevalence of percutaneous injury was 56.9%; where needlestick injury constituted one-third of all injuries. Mean frequency of injury was 1.86±2.24, with medicals having more injuries (p = 0.043). The ward was the most common location for the injury and 14.8% of exposures occurred as a result of lapse in concentration. At least 77.0% did not formally report their injury and perceived low injury risk was the most common reason given (51.67%). Conclusion: This study shows that a substantial number of House Officers are exposed to occupational injuries and that the majority of them does not formally report these. Safer work environment may be achieved by implementing adequate educational programs tailored specifically to house officers, and policies encouraging exposure reporting should be developed.

    Opis:
    Ratownicy medyczni poprzez częste i bezpośrednie kontakty z pacjentami narażeni są na ekspozycje na potencjalnie zakaźny materiał biologiczny, co może skutkować zakażeniami zawodowymi. Celem pracy była ocena ryzyka zawodowych zakażeń krwiopochodnych i stosowanych metod prewencji w tej grupie profesjonalnej na podstawie przeglądu piśmiennictwa. Materiał badawczy stanowiły dane z artykułów zgromadzonych w bazach PubMed, Elsevier, Springer i Google Scholar w latach 1987–2017. Dokonano analizy porównawczej danych o ekspozycji zawodowej na krew wśród ratowników medycznych, zgłaszaniu takich zdarzeń i stosowaniu środków ochrony osobistej w poszczególnych państwach w porównaniu z danymi z Polski. Przeprowadzono dotychczas niewiele badań epidemiologicznych związanych z narażeniem zawodowym na krew wśród ratowników medycznych. Porównanie wniosków uzyskanych przez poszczególne zespoły badawcze jest trudne z uwagi na różne sposoby gromadzenia danych. Wpływa to na znaczne zróżnicowanie obserwowanych wyników. Ponadto część publikacji wykazuje błędy metodologiczne, najczęściej stronniczość selekcji. Na świecie odsetek ratowników, którzy ulegli ekspozycji w roku poprzedzającym badanie, waha się od 22% w USA do 63% w Tajlandii. W Polsce analogiczne odsetki oscylują w granicach 14–78%. Choć ta grupa profesjonalistów jest narażona na częsty kontakt z krwią, niemal połowa badanych nie zgłasza ekspozycji zawodowych. Informowanie o takich zdarzeniach jest rzadkie, podobnie jak systematyczne stosowanie środków ochrony osobistej – rękawice ochronne regularnie używa 53–98% badanych, maski i okulary ochronne – 33–62%. Zwiększa to ryzyko zakażenia patogenami krwiopochodnymi. Konieczne wydaje się zatem przeprowadzenie dalszych, poprawnych metodologicznie, wieloośrodkowych badań dokładnie oceniających ekspozycje zawodowe na krew wśród ratowników medycznych. Med. Pr. 2018;69(6):685–694
    Paramedics constitute a group of professionals who are constantly exposed to potentially infectious biological material through frequent and close contact with patients, possibly resulting in occupationally acquired infections. The paper’s objective has been to assess the occupational risk regarding blood-borne infections and identify preventive measures used among paramedics worldwide, on the basis of the related literature review. The literature search, covering the period 1987–2017, was performed using PubMed, Elsevier, Springer and Google Scholar databases. A comparative analysis of blood exposure was conducted and the report of such events and the use of personal protective equipment among paramedics in Poland and other countries worldwide was developed. The data on occupational blood exposures among paramedics is sparse. The resulting comparisons obtained in various scientific studies are difficult due to diverse data collection methods, influencing the resulting consistency. Additionally, there were some methodological errors found in previously published studies, such as selection bias. The percentage rate of paramedics exposed to blood in the last 12 months varies from 22% in the USA to 63% in Thailand; in Poland that rate fluctuates widely, ranging between 14–78%. Paramedics are frequently exposed to blood while performing their duties, but almost 50% of paramedics do not report any exposure which is mitigated by the systematic use of personal protective equipment: gloves are regularly used by 53–98% of paramedics, masks and goggles are worn by 33–62% of them. This fact puts the paramedics group at risk of blood-borne infections. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct further, methodologically correct, multi-center studies to accurately assess occupational blood exposure in paramedics. Med Pr 2018;69(6):685–694

    Objectives The purpose of this study has been to assess ambient bisphenol A (BPA) levels in workplaces and urine levels of workers and to establish a BPA database for different populations in Malaysia. Material and Methods Urine samples were collected from plastic factory workers and from control subjects after their shift. Air samples were collected using gas analyzers from 5 sampling positions in the injection molding unit work area and from ambient air. The level of BPA in airborne and urine samples was quantified by the gas chromatography mass spectrometry – selected ion monitoring (GCMS-SIM) analysis. Results Bisphenol A was detected in the median range of 8–28.3 ng/m³ and 2.4–3.59 ng/m³ for the 5 sampling points in the plastic molding factory and in the ambient air respectively. The median urinary BPA concentration was significantly higher in the workers (3.81 ng/ml) than in control subjects (0.73 ng/ml). The urinary BPA concentration was significantly associated with airborne BPA levels (ρ = 0.55, p < 0.01). Conclusions Our findings provide the first evidence that workers in a molding factory in Malaysia are occupationally exposed to BPA. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(5):743–750

    Objectives To analyze the number, epidemiology and circumstances of needlestick and sharps injuries (NSSI) and exposures to body fluids and to identify further preventive measures to improve the occupational safety of health care workers (HCW). Material and Methods Setting: German university tertiary-care referral center. Retrospective study based on injury documentation sheets of the hospital’s staff and faculty health service and, if given, on reports by continuity doctors and by the accident and emergency department in January 2014–June 2016. Results Altogether, 567 injuries were registered with a significant decrease of cases over the study period. The majority of accidents occurred in the operating theater (35%). Stress, time pressure, overstrain, carelessness and distraction were found to be the main reasons for injuries. At least 30% of the cases were preventable, mainly by wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), by proper disposal of an item and by early replacement of overfilled sharps containers (SC). In 20% of the cases involving an item, the injury was caused by a safety-engineered device (SED). Almost one-third of these injuries were attributable to an improper use of the SED. Conclusions Despite many efforts made to reduce their number, NSSI still occur. Health care workers and students should be offered regular trainings to be sensitized to this topic and to learn the appropriate use of SED. Moreover, organizational measures must be taken, such as the provision of suitable PPE and safe SC. Strategies need to be established to improve the working conditions and reduce the stress level of HCW.

    W artykule omówiono sposoby określania lub wyliczania wartości maksymalnej dopuszczalnej ekspozycji (MDE) oka i skóry na promieniowanie laserowe oraz znaczenie tych wartości w ocenie ryzyka związanego z narażeniem człowieka na przypadkową ekspozycję promieniowaniem laserowym. Omówiono opracowane algorytmy do wyznaczania MDE, bazujące na wytycznych określonych w rozporządzeniu Ministra Pracy i Polityki Społecznej z 6 czerwca 2014 r. w sprawie najwyższych dopuszczalnych stężeń i natężeń czynników szkodliwych dla zdrowia w środowisku pracy. Zaprezentowano również przykłady obliczeń przeprowadzonych z wykorzystaniem algorytmów, wskazując na znaczenie MDE w ocenie ryzyka związanego z narażeniem człowieka na przypadkową ekspozycję promieniowania laserowego.
    The article describes how to determine or calculate the value of the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) of laser radiation to eyes and skin. The importance of these values in the risk assessment of human exposure to accidental laser radiation were also discussed. The developed algorithms for determining MPE are based on the guidelines set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Labour and Social Policy of June 6, 2014 on the maximum permissible concentrations and intensities of harmful factors in the work environment. Examples of calculations carried out with the use of the developed algorithms are also presented. These examples show the importance of MPE in assessing the risk of human exposure to accidental exposure to laser radiation.
