Occupational cancer what you need to know
Approximately 8,000 workers die every year in Great Britain from occupational cancer. Controlling exposure to carcinogens at work involves recognizing hazards, evaluating exposures, and controlling them. The hierarchy of control recommends prevention through engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment in order of preference. Occupational hygienists can help employers implement controls and locate guidance to address cancer risks like asbestos, silica, and diesel exhaust.
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.
Stop. make a change breathe freely
The document discusses occupational lung disease in the construction industry. It notes that around 3,000 construction workers suffer from breathing or lung problems caused or exacerbated by their work each year. Common causes of occupational lung disease in construction include asbestos, silica dust, wood dust, welding fumes, paint fumes, and diesel exhaust. The document provides tips for reducing risk, such as using dust suppression techniques, proper ventilation, and personal protective equipment. The overall message is that occupational lung disease remains a significant problem and concerted efforts are needed to control exposures and prevent cases.
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.

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.
Airborne dust awareness, where do I stand? - Mark Shepherd
Understanding what airborne dust is, its potential health effects and how to manage dust in all areas of the workplace is fundamental to ensure that the respiratory health of your workforce is protected.
Generating potentially harmful levels of respirable airborne dust is not confined to production-based tasks within an operation. Engineering and maintenance tasks also have the potential to expose tradesmen and operators to respirable dust that can cause lung disease. Many of these tasks are also often conducted without the need for respiratory protection being taken into consideration.
Occupational dust disease is 100% preventable, and the key to workers making smart choices about their health is education.
This presentation is a generic version of the Airborne Dust Awareness sessions that have been rolled out to thousands of mineworkers in the NSW coal industry recently and has resulted in positive behavioural change in and around the workplace.
As industry leaders, we all need to understand the risks before we can identify them, then eliminate or control them.

Longitudinal Study of Silica Dust
Air sampling data from the OSHA IMIS database was analyzed for exposures in general industry, construction, and other industries within OSHA's jurisdiction. The results were surprising in that the average exposure in most major groups was within the suggested NIOSH REL. The results indicate that the ACGIH TLV should be used as the action level and the NIOSH REL should be used as the new OSHA PEL. Further interventions are needed to reduce exposures in manufacture and construction. However, there are several surprising outcomes in agriculture and logging industries from soils. Reducing the exposure will further reduce the risk of silicosis, lung cancer, COPD, and kidney disease.

What are the possible exposure sources?
Crystalline silica can be found in certain types of natural materials, such as:
• Sand
• Soil and rock
• Gravel
• Sandstone
• Slate
• Granite
• Clay
Longitudinal Study of Silica Dust (1984 - 2013)
Individual work tasks and business operations vary from industry to industry as well as within each industry. OSHA has collected a wealth of industrial hygiene sample data prior to the change in collection methods. We looked at the OSHA data to determine where the risks occurred within each industry. The results were surprising and the level of effort to inform workers was limited at the same time. Since our investigation, the occupational exposure limits have also changed so we compared the past data sets to the new exposure limits. There were even more surprised in our analysis.
Sampling procedure part-2
This document discusses various particulate sampling methods including sedimentation, filtration, impingement, electrostatic precipitation, thermal precipitation, centrifugal, and solution impingers. Sedimentation is the simplest method to collect particles larger than 10 microns. Filtration uses filtration to quantitatively remove particles from an air stream. Impingement separates particles from an air stream through collision against a surface. Electrostatic precipitation uses electric charges to collect submicron particles. Thermal precipitation uses temperature gradients to migrate particles to collection surfaces. Centrifugal methods use cyclones to separate particles via centrifugal forces. Solution impingers collect particles directly in acidic solutions.

Presentation design workshop handout
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.

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.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
