What is occupational hygiene?
Occupational hygiene aims to prevent illness caused by workplace hazards. It does this through recognizing, evaluating, and controlling hazardous agents via a multidisciplinary approach involving chemistry, toxicology, physics, biology, engineering, and law. Hazards include chemicals, physical agents like noise and vibration, biological agents, and ergonomic risks. Risk is determined by assessing the hazard and level of worker exposure. Controls follow a hierarchy starting with eliminating or substituting the hazard, then using engineering controls, administrative controls like safe work practices, and finally personal protective equipment. Occupational hygienists play a key role in anticipating hazards, conducting exposure assessments, and advising on prevention strategies to protect worker health.
Indudtrial hygiene
The document discusses industrial hygiene and occupational health. It defines health according to the WHO as complete physical, mental and social well-being. It outlines various determinants of health like heredity, environment, lifestyle and socioeconomic conditions. It discusses the importance of industrial hygiene in maintaining a safe and healthy work environment by controlling physical, chemical and biological hazards through engineering, administrative and personal protective measures.

Fishing for information - an ergonomics scoping assessment
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

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.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

June 14, 2024PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Editor's Notes
- A bit about me.. Grew up in Coromandel with exposure to the farming and commercial fishing industry (father’s boat; parents shifting sheep) practical background BSc at Auckland On completion of degree I started working at Air Matters in 2011 after a fortunate conversation with a friend of my flatmate that resulted in a day of shadowing him on site to see what he got up to 9-5 in air testing. This turned into casual then full time employment. I’ve been there for 3 years now and am very lucky to have been awarded a scholarship to attend the occupational hygiene conference in Melbourne later this year.
- I thoroughly enjoy being able to carry out practical science that provides quality, independent and useful data written into a report for comparison with the WES advice on appropriate PPE and suggestions for basic engineering controls to reduce harmful exposure when appropriate. I also relish the opportunity to get a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes workings of society that is industry. from wine bottling plants & dairy companies to recycling centres, paint shops & engineering workshops
