Opis:
At present, many thousands of people work in Poland in the conditions of a hot microclimate. Currently there are and will continue to exist in the future, and what is related to the job positions on which it will not be possible to reduce or eliminate the activities of dangerous factors of the hot environment. Therefore, people working in "hot" work stations should be equipped with individual protection measures appropriate for a specific workplace. Currently, researchers strive to produce such clothing and its components to ensure the user's safety. However, protective clothing intended for use in a hot work environment most often to fulfill its functions is made of aluminized materials that do not let water vapor. The article presents and characterizes the currently used protective clothing and its individual elements used in the hot microclimate.

Opis:
ObjectivesThe physiological impact of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), in particular filtering-face-piece 3 (FFP3) masks, has increasingly been gaining importance since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). So far, gas exchange has been examined using transcutaneously measured partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), ergo-spirometry and impedance cardiography.Material and MethodsIn this structured investigation, arterial blood gas analysis in a 30-year-old female resident was carried out during a 13-hour day shift on the COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospital of Innsbruck, Austria. An FFP3 mask (3MTM AuraTM) with an exhalation valve was continuously worn, except for 1 break of 20 min. Arterial blood samples were obtained before putting on the PPE, and after 5 h, 9 h and 13 h of working in the contaminated area.ResultsDuring the multi-hour wearing time, an increase in PaCO2 (the baseline value: 29.3 mm Hg, the max. value: 38.9 mm Hg) and a continuous decrease in partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2, the baseline value: 102 mm Hg, the min. value: 80.8 mm Hg) was detectable.ConclusionsAll measured values were within the normal range, but a trend towards an insufficient gas exchange could be suspected.

ObjectivesThe COVID-19 pandemic has created additional risks to healthcare providers, especially those who perform aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) like endotracheal intubation. Endotracheal intubation is one of the procedures mostly generating aerosol and, therefore, requiring full protection of medical personnel against the infection.Material and MethodsIn this paper, basing on a literature review, the recommended intubation procedure is presented together with recommendations for personal protection during intubation. Additionally, a proposal of a simple and cheap protective barrier is described against spreading aerosol outside the intubation area. The aim was to propose a simple and cheap method to increase the safety of medical personnel performing AGPs in patients infected or suspected of being infected with COVID-19, which could be easily introduced into clinical practice.ResultsThe presented method is the authors’ own idea, based on their experience gathered from working in an operating room. Judging from their clinical experience, the presented method is effective and safe for patients.ConclusionsEndotracheal intubation is one of the most common AGPs and adequate actions must be taken in order to protect medical personnel against the infection and to prevent the spreading of aerosol around the intubation area. The proposed barrier is easy to set with disposable materials and standard equipment available in every operating room.

Opis:
Plant protection products are one of the most dangerous substances in the agricultural working environment. The application of plant protection products by the broken implements or by wrong techniques can create the threats both for the operators, other people and for natural environment. The objective of this research was the evaluation of exposure of the sprayer operator on the liquid spray. Research was conducted for two types of the manual handling sprayers (backsprayer and shoulder-sprayer). To evaluate the exposure level the water-sensitive papers were used – they were placed on the elements of the workwear and personal protective equipment of operators. It was conclude that the highest exposure concerned the upper limbs (especially forearms) and the chest. Moreover, on the flat crop higher exposure on the liquid spray was observed for the shoulder-sprayer while on the orchard crop the differences between the sprayers in aspect of expo-sure were insignificant.
Środki ochrony roślin są jednymi z najniebezpieczniejszych substancji w rolniczym środowisku pracy. Aplikacja środków ochrony roślin przy użyciu niesprawnego sprzętu lub nieprawidłową techniką może stanowić zagrożenie dla osoby wykonującej opryskiwanie, dla osób postronnych oraz dla środowiska naturalnego. Celem pracy była ocena narażenia opera-tora opryskiwacza na kontakt z cieczą roboczą przy wykonywaniu zabiegu opryskiwania. Badania przeprowadzono dla dwóch typów opryskiwaczy ręcznych: plecakowego i biodrowego. Do oceny stopnia narażenia wykorzystano papierki wodoczułe, które umieszczono na elementach odzieży roboczej i środkach ochrony indywidualnej operatora. Wykazano, że największe narażenie na kontakt z cieczą użytkową dotyczyło kończyn górnych (zwłaszcza przedramion) oraz klatki piersiowej. Ponadto wykazano, że podczas zabiegu na uprawie płaskiej większe narażenie na kontakt z cieczą wystąpiło przy użyciu opryskiwacza biodrowego, zaś przy opryskiwaniu uprawy sadowniczej nie stwierdzono istotnego wpływu typu opryskiwacza na pokrycie ciała operatora cieczą użytkową.

Opis:
The lack of scientific and technical knowledge in certain complex fields, together with schedule constraints, have lead to adopting in EN standards insufficiently validated tests, relying sometimes on an empirical approach. Thus, even personal protective equipment (PPE) with positive results in tests required by the standards can nevertheless prove to be unsatisfactory when used at work. Several research projects have already been carried out on equipment, fail arresting systems, protective clothing, and gloves by several health and safety institutes in Europe. The results would suggest practical solutions to improve the representative of several European Committee for Standardization (CEN) test methods and to focus more on informing and training workers on the manner of wearing PPE, in particular respiratory protective equipment or hearing protectors.

Opis:
Objectives Hearing loss is a major worldwide health issue affecting an estimated 1.5 billion people. Causes of hearing loss include genetics, chemicals, medications, lifestyle habits such as smoking, and noise. Noise is probably the largest contributing factor for hearing loss. Noise arises from the workplace, ambient environment, and leisure activities. The easiest noise sources to control are workplace and environmental. Workplace noise is unique in that the employer is responsible for the noise and the worker. Also, workers may be exposed to much higher levels of noise than they would accept elsewhere. Employers follow the traditional hierarchy of controls (substitution/engineering, administrative, personal protective equipment [PPE]). Substituting or engineering a lower noise level actually reduces the hazard present to the worker but demand more capital investment. Administrative and PPE controls can be effective, but enforcement and motivation are essential to reducing risk and there is still some hearing loss for a portion of the workers. The challenge is to estimate the costs more clearly for managers. A systems engineering approach can help visualize factors affecting hearing health. Material and Methods In this study, a systems engineering causal loop diagram (CLD) was developed to aid in understanding factors and their interrelationships. The CLD was then modeled in VenSim. The model was informed from the authors’ expertise in hearing health and exposure science. Also, a case study was used to test the model. The model can be used to inform decision-makers of holistic costs for noise control options, with potentially better hearing health outcomes for workers. Results The CLD and cost model demonstrated a 4.3 year payback period for the engineered noise control in the case study. Conclusions Systems thinking using a CLD and cost model for occupational hearing health controls can aid organizational managers in applying resources to control risk.

The field of personal protective equipment (PPE) has led to several high technology innovations. Indeed, improved protection against the various possible encountered risks is looked for, in particular at the workplace. This has generated the development of new materials and new manufacturing technologies, as well as the introduction of new applications for existing ones. However, the remaining challenges are numerous. This paper presents some of the new technologies introduced in the field of protective clothing against heat and flames, mechanical risks and chemical aggressors. It also describes new challenges that are currently worked on, in particular the effect of service aging and the need for testing methods that reproduce realuse conditions. Finally, it discusses various existing and potential applications of nanomaterials and smart textiles for PPE.

Objectives A significant proportion of healthcare workers (HCWs) had been infected with SARS-CoV-2, which complicated the organization of patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the exact scale of infection prevalence among the group of HCWs is not known, therefore this study aimed to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among HCWs in the Silesian voivodeship, Poland, and to define its determinants. Material and Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 multidisciplinary hospitals in the Silesian voivodeship during the period October 2021–February 2022. The standardized WHO questionnaire Surveillance protocol for SARS-CoV-2 infection among health workers was completed by 242 HCWs. To assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its determinants, such as personal, occupational, and work environment-related conditions and preventive behaviors, the collected data were subjected to statistical analysis. For this purpose, descriptive and analytical statistics (significance of differences in χ² test) were used. Results Almost half (42.6%) of subjects were infected with coronavirus, most frequently care assistants (57.1%) and paramedics (50%). People suffering from chronic diseases were infected significantly more often (p < 0.001). The majority of the infected HCWs declared previous contact with COVID-19 patients (56.3%). Unfortunately, 10.3% of respondents refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19, most often care assistants (38.1%) and nurses (10.6%). The determinants such as sex, age, occupation, place of work (ward), participation in occupational safety and health training, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), or preventive behaviors did not significantly affect the risk of infection (p > 0.05). Conclusions Even though the PPE was used and the percentage of fully vaccinated HCWs against COVID-19 was high (89.7%), the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 infected HCWs remains high at 42.6% (95% CI: 40.7–44.5%). The main determinants of SARS-CoV-2 infection risk among HCWs were previous contact with infected individuals and the presence of chronic disease.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to present the adaptation and implementation of the recommendations of the National Institute for Safety and Health at Work (Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo – INSHT) in the authors’ hospital to achieve a safer handling of hazardous drugs.Material and MethodsIn 2016, INSHT published the first document on hazardous drugs in Spain. In the authors’ center, a project was developed to implement the recommendations presented in that document in 2 phases: 1) analysis: to identify drugs and processes susceptible to not being handled as hazardous, and to search for safer alternatives and preventive measures; and 2) development: to ensure information, training, the adaptation of standardized work procedures, the minimization of risks associated with handling, safety devices, personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as health monitoring.ResultsThe authors detected 80 commercial presentations manipulated without adhering to safety conditions, mainly oral (74%) from lists 1 (7.5%), 2 (37.5%) and 3 (55%) of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The following measures were envisaged to reduce the risk: introducing new presentations (4 lower doses, 1 liquid dose) and centralizing new preparations in the pharmacy service (11 oral formulas, 6 parenteral drugs). Management, spillage and exposure procedures were adapted. Safety measures were included in the prescription and administration applications, and there were some indications of risks in the storage. Overall, 48 referents and 690 nurses were trained. Each unit was provided with PPE and safety devices (e.g., closed systems, RX CRUSH®). The steps prior to the administration were moved to the patient’s bedside to align patient and professional safety. During the first 6 months after the implementation, 22 cases of pregnancy (64% among the nursing staff), 4 cases of lactation, and 1 case of conceiving problems were reported. In the cases of oxytocin and the repackaging of list 3, risk management was applied.ConclusionsThe multidisciplinary approach has allowed to achieve a global and safer control of hazardous drugs with a minimal impact on the center. It is important to continuously evaluate the effects of these measures, and to take into account the data of this analysis and any possible new evidence.

Opis:
Aim: The purpose of the study is to work out a new emergency medical service (EMS) tactic to be employed in CBRNE/HAZMAT incidents, which would allow performing emergency medical procedures in the area so far inaccessible to the State Emergency Medical System (Polish abbreviation: PRM). Project and methods: Incidents involving new hazardous materials, especially terrorist ones, demand emergency services to be well prepared in order to respond accordingly. Latest technological advances regarding both personal protective equipment (PPE) for preventing contamination and respiratory protection equipment bring effective and safe methods of medical professionals’ protection at every stage of rescue operations being performed. The research study was conducted in 2016–2018 and its main focus was on providing medical care at all stages of rescue operations. The CBRNE/HAZMAT incident procedures of the State Emergency Medical System (PRM), the National Firefighting and Rescue System (KSRG), the Bureau of Anti-Terrorist Operations of the National Police Headquarters (BOA KGP) and the Epidemiological Response Centre of the Polish Armed Forces (CRESZ) were thoroughly analysed. An analysis of procedural shortcomings within rescue operations of all services was also conducted. In addition, the PPE for preventing contamination and the respiratory protection equipment that is used by various emergency services and may also be applied within PRM operations was thoroughly examined. Results: Based on the study, a new EMS tactic was developed using the available PPE, a management system of rescue operations and a model of organisation of any operations. The in-depth analysis of PPE for preventing contamination and respiratory protection equipment indicated new solutions and methods for protecting professionals of the State Emergency Medical System (PRM) while providing pre-hospital and hospital care (in Hospital Emergency Departments). A set of training drills employing new tactics and PPE indicated real possibilities to transfer new solutions to EMS that would compensate the shortcomings identified within the procedures of responses at the subsequent stages of CBRNE/HAZMAT incidents. Conclusions: The suggested tactic of emergency medical services shall enhance the effectiveness of the emergency rescue system in CBRNE/HAZMAT incidents as it enables emergency medical procedures (Polish abbreviation: MCR) to be more promptly performed in patients with life-threatening conditions, along with providing medical care at all stages of rescue operations.
Cel: Celem badania było wypracowanie nowej taktyki ratownictwa medycznego działającego w warunkach zdarzeń CBRNE/HAZMAT, pozwalającej na podjęcie medycznych czynności ratunkowych (MCR) w obszarze dotychczas niedostępnym dla systemu Państwowe Ratownictwo Medyczne (PRM). Projekt i metody: Powstanie nowych zagrożeń ze strony materiałów niebezpiecznych, zwłaszcza zagrożeń o charakterze terrorystycznym, wymusza właściwe przygotowanie służb ratowniczych do reagowania. Postęp techniczny w obszarze środków ochrony przed skażeniami i środków ochrony dróg oddechowych pozwala obecnie na opracowanie bezpiecznych i skutecznych metod ochrony personelu medycznego. Badanie przeprowadzone zostało w latach 2016–2018. Skupiono się w nim nad możliwością udzielania pomocy medycznej na wszystkich etapach działań ratowniczych. Przeanalizowano procedury postępowania systemu PRM, Krajowego Systemu Ratowniczo-Gaśniczego (KSRG) i jednostek kontrterrorystcznych Biura Operacji Antyterrorystycznych Komendy Głównej Policji (BOA KGP), Centrum Reagowania Epidemiologicznego Sił Zbrojnych RP (CRESZ) przewidzianych do wykorzystania w incydentach CBRNE/HAZMAT. Dokonano analizy luk w obszarze udzielania pomocy medycznej poszkodowanym w ramach dotychczas stosowanej taktyki działania każdej ze służb. W trakcie badania przeanalizowano indywidualne środki ochrony przed skażeniami i środki ochrony dróg oddechowych wykorzystywane w poszczególnych służbach pod kątem możliwości ich zastosowania w obszarze systemu PRM. Wyniki: Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wypracowano nową taktykę ratownictwa medycznego, opierającą się na wyposażeniu w indywidualne środki ochrony, nowym systemie zarządzania i nowym modelu organizacji działań. Prowadzona analiza możliwości wykorzystania indywidualnych środków ochrony przed skażeniami i środków ochrony dróg oddechowych pozwoliła na wypracowanie nowych zasad ochrony personelu medycznego systemu Państwowe Ratownictwo Medyczne. Przeprowadzone ćwiczenia wykazały możliwość implementacji nowych rozwiązań do systemu ratowniczego oraz uzupełnienie procedur postępowania na kolejnych etapach działań ratowniczych w zdarzeniach CBRNE/HAZMAT. Wnioski: Proponowana nowa taktyka ratownictwa medycznego poprawia efektywność systemu ratowniczego w zdarzeniach CBRNE/HAZMAT, poprzez umożliwienie wcześniejszego podjęcia medycznych czynności ratunkowych w stanach zagrożenia życia oraz zabezpieczenia medycznego pacjentów na wszystkich etapach prowadzenia działań ratowniczych.

Background: Occupational health impairment of medical personnel manifested as a prominent problem in COVID-19. The aim of this study is to investigate the occupational physical injuries of front-line medical staffs in Hubei province during the fight against COVID-19. Material and Methods: questionnaire survey was conducted among 476 medical staffs from 3 regions of Hubei Province, including general characteristics and the physical discomfort/damage suffered in the isolation wards during working hours. Results: A total of 457 valid questionnaires were collected. The common physical discomfort/damage included skin injuries (22.76%), conjunctivitis (15.10%), falls (9.19%), intolerant unwell symptoms (8.53%) and sharp injuries (6.13%). Logistic regression analysis showed that: lack of protective work experience (OR = 2.049, 95% CI: 1.071–3.921), continuous working for 4 h (OR = 3.771, 95% CI: 1.858–7.654), and working >4 h (OR = 7.076, 95% CI: 3.197–15.663) were high-risk factors for skin injuries. Working continuously for 4 h (OR = 3.248, 95% CI: 1.484–7.110) and working >4 h (OR = 3.096, 95% CI: 1.232–7.772) were high-risk factors for conjunctivitis. Lack of protective work experience was a high risk factor for falls (OR = 5.508, 95% CI: 1.299–23.354). The high risk factors for intolerant unwell symptoms were continuous working for 4 h (OR = 5.372, 95% CI: 1.239–23.301) and working >4 h (OR = 8.608, 95% CI: 1.843–40.217). Working in a COVID-19 critical care unit (OR = 3.249, 95% CI: 1.344–7.854) and implementation of nursing (OR = 9.766, 95% CI: 1.307–72.984) were high risk factors for sharp injuries. Conclusions: Occupational physical injuries are universal in the COVID-19 ward. Those who take up nursing, work in a critical care ward, with no experience in an isolation ward for infectious diseases, and work continuously for ≥4 h on the same day should get more attention.

Opis:
The article presents the concept and structure of a prototype of a vending machine that can dispense disposable personal protection equipment (PPE) or other products with similar physical properties (size, weight) to be used in outpatient clinics, hospitals or beauty parlours, where special and effective protection against pathogens is required, particularly during the pandemic. Due to the difficult-to-predict and unspecified technical and on-site conditions for the installation and use of the device, the authors wanted to achieve autonomy by using a replaceable battery as a power source and large storage capacity of a product rack, at a limited size of the device. The machine operates on a contactless payment system (credit/debit card or NFC mobile payments) – to buy a gown, a customer just has to tap or wave their card on or over the card reader installed in the front wall of the cabinet. Purchased products are dispensed automatically, once the transaction has been approved. The vending machine is also equipped with a removable dispenser to better manage any waste generated. The prototype was comprehensively tested in accordance with the developed verification methodology, in cooperation with an entity interested in implementing the device.
Publikacja przedstawia koncepcję oraz budowę prototypowego urządzenia (automatu vendingowego) do samoobsługowej sprzedaży jednorazowej odzieży ochronnej lub innych produktów o podobnych cechach fizycznych (wymiary, masa) dedykowanego do zastosowań w przychodniach, szpitalach, gabinetach kosmetycznych, gdzie wymagana jest szczególna i skuteczna ochrona przed patogenami, zwłaszcza w okresach nasilonego narażenia epidemicznego. Ze względu na trudne do przewidzenia i nieokreślone warunki techniczne i lokalowe instalacji i użytkowania urządzenia, celem autorów było uzyskanie autonomiczności dzięki zasilaniu elektrycznemu z wymiennego akumulatora i dużej pojemność magazynka urządzenia przy ograniczonych gabarytach. Zastosowano terminal realizujący płatności bezgotówkowe oraz automatyczne wydawanie odzieży po ich zaakceptowaniu. Wbudowano wymienny zasobnik ułatwiający zagospodarowanie powstających odpadów. Wykonany prototyp poddano kompleksowym badaniom zgodnie z opracowaną metodyką weryfikacji, we współpracy z przedsiębiorcą zainteresowanym wdrożeniem rozwiązania.

Opis:
Lanyards are still important and common components of personal systems protecting against falls from a height. Experience with dynamic strength tests of lanyards indicates that test methods based on EN and ISO standards do not make objective assessment possible. This paper presents the results of theoretical and laboratory investigations of the performance of adjustable lanyards during fall arrest. The obtained results indicate that methods of testing and assessment based on those standards demonstrate considerable shortcomings when applied to low elongation lanyards. The assumptions for improved requirements and test methods of lanyards made of, e.g., steel wire and aramid ropes are also presented.
