Using an exercise programme to prevent work-related upper limb disordersOccupational Health and Safety Industry Group
This document outlines a research project investigating the effectiveness of a tailored workplace exercise program for preventing work-related upper limb disorders. The project will develop and implement a 12-week program of resistance, eccentric, and stretching exercises for employees at risk of such injuries. Outcome measures will assess subjective reports, physical measures, task data, and injury rates before, during, and after the program to determine if exercises can help reduce upper limb conditions when targeted to individual jobs and abilities. A literature review found prior programs have benefits but need duration of at least 10-12 weeks to be effective.Role of internal OHS practitioners in implementing ACC's Workplace Safety Man...

Fishing for information - an ergonomics scoping assessmentOccupational Health and Safety Industry Group
This document summarizes an assessment of musculoskeletal disorders on large fishing vessels in New Zealand. It finds that the risk of injury is highest on vessels over 24 meters due to more time spent at sea, more crew members, and more physically demanding tasks. The assessment identified manual handling and slips/trips/falls as the most common causes of injury. It observed many physically demanding tasks performed in difficult conditions and proposed that interventions focusing on ergonomic improvements, training, fitness and hydration could help reduce injuries in the fishing industry.Sorry, but I need to resign

The document outlines various standards regarding risk assessment, guards, safety distances, and safety control systems that are relevant for achieving safe machinery guarding.
Effective health and safety strategies for an aging workforce
Effective health and safety strategies for an aging workforceOccupational Health and Safety Industry Group
This document discusses effective health and safety strategies for an aging workforce in New Zealand. It notes that over 1 million New Zealanders are aged 55+ and nearly half of them work. As the population continues to age, employers will need to prepare for an older workforce. The document recommends that employers understand the specific needs of older workers, develop age-based risk assessments to account for common health issues, and provide tailored training, support programs and flexible work arrangements. The key messages are to identify the needs of the aging workforce, develop a risk strategy based on those needs, and provide relevant health and safety information.Healthy living
The document discusses creating a healthy lifestyle through work-life balance. It emphasizes finding meaningful work that provides physical activity, social connection, and financial security. It recommends developing a career plan to ensure work remains fulfilling and aligns with one's goals. Additionally, it suggests maintaining health through regular checkups, exercise, nutrition, financial planning, and avoiding stressors like smoking or overwork. The overall message is that prioritizing well-being, balance, and fulfillment across work, health, and personal life leads to positive outcomes.
Fit and well for work
This document discusses health loss and its causes in New Zealand. It uses the measure of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to estimate health loss. Mental disorders, injury, and chronic diseases are among the leading causes of health loss across different age groups. Projections estimate a 13% increase in DALYs from 2006 to 2016, with cancer, heart disease, and anxiety/depressive disorders as the top causes. Risk factors like tobacco use, high BMI, and injury risks are preventable contributors to health loss. The document advocates for occupational health programs to identify workplace hazards, monitor employee health, and manage risks to keep employees fit for work.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients.
