Lifting the load - reducing the burden of occupational disease in the uk
The document discusses occupational diseases in the UK construction industry. It notes that while 39 workers fatally in construction accidents in 2012-2013, occupational diseases pose a much larger burden, with an estimated 13,000 deaths per year from work-related illness. Major causes of occupational illness include asbestos exposure (almost 5000 deaths/year), silica exposure (1000 new cancer cases/year), and diesel exhaust exposure (1000 cancer cases/year). The document calls for continued efforts from organizations like the HSE, employers, unions, and occupational hygienists to recognize health hazards, evaluate exposures, control risks, and prevent occupational illness through engineering solutions, work practices, and PPE.
Protecting worker health webinar
This document discusses protecting worker health in various industries. It notes that while 39 workers fatally in construction in 2012/13, occupational exposures also lead to many non-fatal illnesses. Each year there are an estimated 31,000 new cases of work-related ill health in construction, 3,700 occupational cancer cases, and over 500 deaths from silica exposure alone. The broader picture shows approximately 13,000 occupational disease deaths annually in the UK. Various industries like stonemasonry, welding, painting, and recycling expose workers to hazardous substances that can cause cancer, respiratory disease, and other illnesses. The document advocates for prevention through engineering controls, safe work practices, protective equipment, and proper management of occupational health and safety programs.

Silica in construction
- Construction workers face significant health risks from exposure to silica dust, which can lead to fatal lung diseases like silicosis. Over 500 workers in the UK are estimated to die from silica exposure each year.
- Exposure measurement studies show that workers performing tasks like drilling, demolition, and concrete grinding often experience respirable silica exposures above the UK limit of 0.1 mg/m3. Long-term or high-level exposures increase the risk of developing silicosis.
- Effective dust control measures during tasks that generate silica dust, such as using water sprays or extraction tools, are needed to reduce worker exposures and health risks from silica.

Air And Air Pollution
This document discusses various topics related to air and air pollution. It defines air pollution as a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air that can be caused by vehicle emissions, chemicals, dust, airplanes, and pollen. It notes that factories, machines, and energy usage can make the air bad through the gases they release. The gases from vehicles, planes, chemicals, and factories can make the air unhealthy for humans, animals, and plants by making it difficult to breathe or even poisonous in high amounts. Factories in particular release large amounts of pollutants that can harm air quality.
Reducing environmental risks to prevent NCDs.pdf
The document discusses how environmental factors contribute significantly to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) globally. Nearly two-thirds of the 12.6 million annual deaths caused by environmental risks are due to NCDs such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and chronic lung disease. Major environmental risk factors include air pollution, tobacco smoke, chemicals and radiation exposure, with ambient and household air pollution alone responsible for over 6 million NCD deaths in 2012. Reducing environmental health risks throughout life would greatly lower the growing global NCD burden.

World's most hazardous occupations
We all know there is no such thing as zero risk. People are exposed to risks at every corner of their lives.
Even the simplest activities we do on a daily basis involve taking risk, for example going out, crossing
the street, driving a car, riding a bike, etc. All these may be considered minimal risks, so we must agree
in this: risk is an inevitable part of our lives.
Air pollution & climatic change
This document discusses air pollution and climatic change as health security threats. It notes that nine out of ten people breathe polluted air daily, which kills 7 million people prematurely each year from diseases like cancer and heart and lung disease. The primary cause of air pollution, burning fossil fuels, also significantly contributes to climate change, which is expected to cause 250,000 additional deaths per year between 2030-2050 due to issues like malnutrition, malaria and heat stress. Some ways to help prevent further air pollution and climatic change discussed are stopping deforestation, reducing industrial emissions, using electric vehicles, avoiding burning fuels, adopting solar energy, and promoting reforestation.

It notes that air pollution causes an estimated 7 million premature deaths per year, mainly from heart and lung diseases. Many air pollutants like black carbon and ground-level ozone damage both health and the climate. Reducing these short-lived climate pollutants could save lives and slow near-term climate change. Improving standards for household stoves and urban planning could significantly improve air quality and public health in cities. Coordinated international efforts to address both indoor and outdoor air pollution will generate major health and climate benefits.
Pedro Mono
The document discusses pollution related to pulp mills. It notes that as industrialization has spread globally, so too has pollution. Specifically, it examines how pulp mills can affect the environment through various forms of pollution. Local communities are worried about environmental pollution, deforestation, and increased truck traffic from pulp mills. The pollution from pulp mills can have negative health impacts on workers and surrounding communities through various exposures and contamination of food and water sources. Children and the elderly are most vulnerable to the effects.
Article (power point presentation)
Particulate matter in air pollution sticks to human lungs and organs, damaging health over decades of exposure. A Chinese expert notes that some people's lungs now turn black in their 40s due to particulate pollution. While industrial activity accounts for a small percentage of Australia's emissions, those levels increased by over 13% according to a national report. Unusual climate events last year reduced Australia's electricity demand and increased hydroelectric power, leading to a decline in emissions from that sector and agriculture as well.

Dust exposure, effects, limits, control
This document discusses occupational exposure to industrial dust, including an estimated 9.2 million workers exposed in the UK. Dust exposure can occur through handling powders, cutting materials, and disturbing settled dust. Health effects include respiratory diseases, irritation, fibrosis, COPD, asthma, and lung cancer. Evaluating risks involves initial and detailed surveys. Studies on brick making and stone cutting found many workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica above recommended limits. Risk of silicosis increases significantly with exposure levels over 15 years. Controlling dust involves prevention through engineering solutions, work practices like wet cutting, PPE, and measures like exposure time reduction, supervision, training and health surveillance.
Feeling the heat for slideshare
This document discusses managing risks from heat stress at work. It explains that human beings naturally produce body heat through physical activity, and must lose heat to the environment to regulate body temperature. However, high environmental temperatures, humidity, radiant heat, and other factors can increase heat stress risks. Left unmanaged, heat stress can cause illnesses ranging from heat cramps to heat stroke. The document outlines factors to consider in assessing heat stress risks, such as air temperature, humidity, clothing, metabolic rate, and acclimatization. It then discusses methods for evaluating risk levels, such as the WBGT index and physiological monitoring. Finally, it presents a hierarchy of controls for preventing and mitigating heat stress risks through engineering solutions, work

The document provides tips for designing effective presentations. It notes that presentations come in many forms, from reporting results to management to conference speeches. Good presentations have clear objectives, appropriate content for the time available, and engage the audience. Effective visual materials like slides should enhance the speaker's message, not serve as a script. The document outlines best practices for slide design, including using visuals over text and limiting content to key points. It also advises that handouts expand on the presentation instead of duplicating slides verbatim. Overall, the tips emphasize preparation, clear and concise visual aids, and audience engagement.

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.
Sampling for sulphuric acid mist version for slideshare
This document discusses occupational hygiene and measuring exposure to hazardous substances like sulphuric acid mist. It explains that a new workplace exposure limit has been set for the thoracic fraction of sulphuric acid mist. Two options for measuring exposure are discussed: 1) sampling the inhalable fraction, which would overestimate thoracic exposure but may still indicate if the limit is exceeded, and 2) developing a validated method for directly measuring the thoracic fraction, which would be expensive. Interpreting exposure measurement results and correcting for background also need consideration.
