Ho Chi Minh City is now considered one of the cities with a high proportion of industrial production, both in scales of operations and the level of technical and technological application, leading in the Southern region of Vietnam. Although the development of industrial manufacturing brings many economic and social values in this area, it also affects the quality of life and weakness the health of workers. According to reports on occupational hygiene and health care for workers at enterprises, the current situation of working environment pollution, in which noise pollution at construction sites and manufactures remains many problems and no complete solution. Working noise is one of the commons harmful factors that often causes occupational deafness when workers are in contact for a long time. Noise often arises due to the characteristics of production technology, old and outdated machinery, and working equipment. This article focuses on analyzing and evaluating the current situation noise of the medicine tablets manufacturing of Sanofi Vietnam Joint Stock Company in Ho Chi Minh City, that uses production equipment such as vibrating screen machines, tablet presses, and compressed air blowers. At the manufactory, they generate high noise level that exceeds the allowable standard according to the working time and can affect workers' hearing health. According to measurement data recorded at the position of workers standing at the tablet press, the highest noise measurement result is 90.4 dBA (Leq). Therefore, based on the process of analyzing and evaluating the cause of the noise, the authors proposed a solution to add a silencer made of brass (SL) which is suitable for an air outlet of the tablet press and equipped with an acoustic form on the wall to reduce the noise level of vibrating screen machine. And so, the result of the proposed solution is a noise at the locations to be treated has decreased compared to the original measurement level from 10dBA – 15 dBA, adapt to the standards enable and improving the working environmental quality, and prevent harmful factors causing occupational deafness for workers.

Ho Chi Minh City jest obecnie uważane za jedno z miast o wysokim udziale produkcji przemysłowej, zarówno pod względem skali działalności, jak i poziomu technicznego i technologicznego, przodujące w południowym regionie Wietnamu. Chociaż rozwój przetwórstwa przemysłowego niesie ze sobą wiele dodatnich wartości ekonomicznych i społecznych w tym zakresie, to jednak wpływa również na jakość życia i osłabienie zdrowia pracowników. Według raportów z zakresu higieny pracy i ochrony zdrowia pracowników w przedsiębiorstwach, obecna sytuacja zanieczyszczenia środowiska pracy, w którym hałas na budowach i w zakładach produkcyjnych pozostaje problemem który nie ma pełnego rozwiązania. Hałas w miejscu pracy jest jednym z powszechnych szkodliwych czynników, które często powodują głuchotę zawodową. Hałas często powstaje z powodu charakterystyki technologii produkcji, starych i przestarzałych maszyn i urządzeń roboczych. Niniejszy artykuł skupia się na analizie i ocenie aktualnej sytuacji hałasu produkcji tabletek leczniczych w Sanofi Vietnam Joint Stock Company w Ho Chi Minh City, która wykorzystuje sprzęt produkcyjny, taki jak przesiewacze wibracyjne, tabletkarki i dmuchawy sprężonego powietrza. Fabryka generuje wysoki poziom hałasu, przekraczający dopuszczalne normy i mogące wpływać na zdrowie i słuch pracowników. Według danych pomiarowych zarejestrowanych na stanowiskach przy tabletkarce, najwyższy wynik pomiaru hałasu to 90,4 dB(A). Dlatego też, opierając się na procesie analizy i oceny przyczyny powstawania hałasu, autorzy zaproponowali rozwiązanie polegające na dodaniu tłumika wykonanego z mosiądzu (SL) odpowiedniego dla wylotu powietrza z tabletkarki i wyposażonego w wytłoczkę akustyczną na ściana, aby zmniejszyć poziom hałasu wibrującej maszyny przesiewającej. I tak, efektem proponowanego rozwiązania jest zmniejszenie hałasu w miejscach poddawanych zabiegowi w stosunku do pierwotnego poziomu pomiarowego z 10dB(A) - 15 dB(A), dostosowanie do norm jakości środowiska pracy oraz zapobieganie szkodliwym czynnikom powodującym głuchotę pracowników.

Purpose: To develop and implementation in practice an algorithm for smart monitoring of workplace environmental physical factors for occupational health and safety (OSH) management. Design/methodology/approach: A brief conceptual analysis of existing approaches to workplace environmental physical factors monitoring was conducted and reasonably suggest a decision-making algorithm to reduce the negative impact of this factors as an element of the OSH management system. Findings: An algorithm has been developed that provides continual improvement of the OSH management system to improve overall labour productivity and which has 3 key positive features: (1) improved data collection, (2) improved data transfer and (3) operational determination of the working conditions class. Research limitations/implications: The implementation of the proposed algorithm for substantiating managerial decisions to reduce the negative impact of workplace physical factors is shown by the example of four workplace environmental physical factors in the products manufacture from glass. Practical implications: If management decisions on the implementation of protective measures are taken in accordance with the proposed monitoring algorithm, these decisions will be timely and justified. This makes it possible to reduce the time of the dangerous effects of physical factors on the health of workers and reduce the level of these factors to improve working conditions. That is, an algorithm is proposed that provides continuous improvement of the OSH management system to increase overall labour productivity. Originality/value: Current monitoring of workplace environmental physical factors values are carried out in accordance with the justified monitoring intervals for each factor that provides the necessary and sufficient amount of data and eliminates the transfer of useless data.

Problematyka zagrożeń psychospołecznych stanowi jeden z najbardziej aktualnych obszarów badań z zakresu ochrony zdrowia i bezpieczeństwa pracujących. W artykule przedstawione są badania dotyczące skali stresu zawodowego i jego związków z funkcjonowaniem zawodowym i zdrowiem pracowników, realizowane w grupie 7263 pracowników z 15 branż gospodarki, z zastosowaniem Skali Ryzyka Psychospołecznego. Wyniki wykazały, że pracownicy zdecydowanie częściej i silniej stresują się cechami związanymi ze sposobem zorganizowania pracy i jakością relacji międzyludzkich (czyli czynnikami należącymi do kontekstu pracy, czyli tzw. czynnikami miękkimi) niż tym, jakie zadania (rodzaj pracy) muszą wykonywać. Wykazano również, że środowisko pracy, które charakteryzuje się wyższym poziomem stresogenności, generuje większą absencję zatrudnionych, większą fluktuację kadr, gorsze wskaźniki stanu zdrowia i poziomu zdolności do pracy zatrudnionych, ich słabsze zaangażowanie w pracę oraz niższy poziom satysfakcji zawodowej.

Psychosocial risk is one of the most current areas of research in the field of occupational health and safety. The article presents research on the scale of occupational stress and its relation to the professional functioning and health of workers. The studied subjects included 7623 employees employed in 15 sectors of the Polish economy. The Psychosocial Risk Scale was used as the research tool. The results showed that the context of work (for example work organization, and quality of interpersonal relationships) generated a higher level of occupational stress. It was also shown that the higher level of stress was connected with higher absenteeism, increased staff turnover, worse indicators of health status and ability to work of employees, their lower work engagement, and lower level of job satisfaction.

Background: seafaring is an occupation with specific work-related risks, causing increased morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, the research in the area of marine students ‘sleep quality and mental health is lacking in Lithuania, as well as other European countries. The aim was to overview scientific findings, related with occupational health risks in a seafaring population and asses the frequency of poor sleep and the relations among poor sleep, anxiety and depression in the sample of maritime students. Methods and contingent. The scientific literature review, based on PubMed sources analysis, related to occupational health risks in seafaring population, was performed. Questionnaire survey was conducted in 2014 at The Lithuanian Maritime Academy, 393 (78.9 % of them males) students participated. Sleep quality was evaluated by Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. Anxiety and depression were assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. Sociodemographic questions were used. The Chi-square test r Fisher exact test was used to estimate association between categorical variables. P- Values less than 0.05 were interpreted as statistically significant. Results. Scientific literature review indicate that highly stressful and exhausting working conditions on ships can lead to depression, insomnia, various types of cancer, cardiovascular, communicable, blood-born and sexually transmitted diseases. Poor sleep was found in 45.0 % of the students. Mild depression was established in 6.9 %, moderate in 2.3 %, Severe in 0.8 % of the students. Mild anxiety was found in 19.1 %, moderate in 14.8 % and Severe in 7.9 % of the students. Depression (score ?8) was significantly more frequent among third (fourth) year students (22.2 %) with poor sleep, as compared to the students demonstrating good sleep (2.7 %). Marine engineering programme students whose sleep was poor more often had depression (22.0 %), as compared to the students whose sleep was good (5.7 %). Conclusions. Seafarers have higher hospitalization and mortality rates than age-matched peers, due to exposure to unique occupational health risk factors. Maritime students had poor sleep more than anxiety or depression. Anxiety and depression were more common among the students demonstrating poor sleep rather than good sleep.

A continuous technological progress forces an improvement of the production process. The article describes the sole beginning of changes in the process of tires retreading on the 5S management method with regard to health and safety standards. The authors point out that the process of the production of retreaded tires is associated with the relationship between a man and a machine. The process improvement can dispense only by improving the machines but it should also pay attention to the man. The improvement of the production process must precede the audit, which can show areas that require intervention. Any such change in the production process cannot be performed without the participation of health and safety inspector, because his knowledge, skills and competence are able to determine whether the proposed changes interfere with the level of safety at the workplace. The authors emphasize that the process of production improvement production should be compatible with the process of improving the health and safety of workers involved in the production process. The combination of 5S audit with health and safety standards results in a holistic approach to the improvement process.

This paper argues the possibility of establishing common principles of protection from psychosocial risks (PSR) on the basis of the legal positions of the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) expressed in recent cases on degrading treatment and occupational health. The author focuses on the positive obligations of the States to ensure the protection of the right for life and of the right to respect for private life. The prohibition of degrading treatment in relations between private persons is also considered as relevant to the issue of the protection from PSR. Analyzing the Court's case law (judgments of the Court) we substantiate the possibility of claiming protection from PSR under the European Convention on Human Rights, namely, articles 2, 3 and 6, 8.

Objective. The objective of this study was to learn about the health and safety strategies in a sample of taxi drivers in Bucaramanga, Colombia. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 138 taxi drivers. A survey was used to identify the socio-demographic and working characteristics, knowledge, attitudes and practices according to their occupational risk. Results. Eighty-five percent of the workers labored 9–15 h/day. Of those who suffered accidents, 27% were not affiliated to an occupational risk administrator (p = 0.028). Of the workers who had a work-related accident, 58% considered that the use of a cell phone while driving would not always reduce their attention, 50% always used their seat belt and 7% took active breaks and wore their seat belt (p = 0.01). Conclusions. Within this group of taxi drivers, having or believing to possess knowledge regarding an occupational risk did not ensure that they had a safe attitude or safe working practices.

This 8-week study evaluates the effects of customized foot orthoses on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) of metal industry workers. These WMSDs were evaluated applying the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire (NMQ) at three different times (start, 4th week and 8th week) and additional questions were also formulated to obtain information about adaptation, fatigue, comfort and possible improvements. According to the NMQ results, statistical significance was found in the improvements after 4 weeks (p < 0.05 in two areas, p < 0.01 in three areas, p < 0.001 in two areas and no significance in the other two) and after 8 weeks (p < 0.01 in three areas, p < 0.001 in four areas and no significance in the other two). The additional questions indicated fatigue reduction (both in general and in lower extremity), comfort level increase (after the adaptation period) and good acceptance, according to workers’ answers, suggesting customized orthoses can be effective in reducing and preventing WMSDs in several body regions.

Much of the research in high-altitude medicine has been concerned with non-indigenous travellers; no study has examined the work-related health issues of high altitude mountain guides (Sherpas) in Nepal. This pilot study was performed to investigate the work-related health issues of people working as Sherpas by evaluating their perceptions of their general health and its relation to work. An occupational and general health questionnaire was tailored for the Sherpas following a focus group with five Sherpa workers. 131 Sherpas participated in this study. Respiratory (60%) and musculoskeletal symptoms (55%) were reported significantly more frequently than other health problems (p < .05). 33 Sherpas reported work accident experiences (25%) and 27 (21%) reported eye conditions. This pilot study identified respiratory and musculoskeletal problems as well as accidents as the main work-related health issues of high altitude climbing Sherpas. Another important finding was the high prevalence of reported eye conditions (21%). Better occupational health and safety arrangements including routine recording of accidents or work-related health problems would give better insight into the health needs of Sherpas.

Purpose: To investigate prevalence and anatomical distribution of musculoskeletal pain (MSP) and its impact on quality of life (QoL) in elementary school teachers working in Muğla town center. Methods: Physical, sociodemographic and occupational characteristics of 104 teachers were recorded. Onset, prevalence and consequences of MSP (Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire) and QoL (Short Form-36 Health Survey) of teachers with (n = 37) and without (n = 67) MSP during the last 12 months were compared. Results: The prevalence of MSP was 77% for the lifelong period and 36% for the last 12 months. Physical and sociodemographic characteristics, daily employment period and length of standing and sitting were similar between groups (p > 0.05). The most common painful regions were the neck (39%) and the lower back (38%). MSP of these regions was the common reason for seeking healthcare, prevention from activities and taking sick leave. MSP had negative impact, especially on the physical components of QoL (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results reveal high prevalence of MSP among teachers, as well as its negative impacts on QoL. Especially neck and lower back seem to be the most frequently affected regions of the body. These findings draw attention toward the need for developing strategies to prevent MSP among teachers.

Procesy magazynowania należą do złożonych i pracochłonnych. Choć w ostatnich latach obserwuje się olbrzymi postęp w zakresie optymalizacji procesów logistycznych, poziom bezpieczeństwa w magazynach nie jest zadowalający. W zakresie CSR mieści się ograniczanie ryzyka psychospołecznego i promowanie dobrostanu w miejscu pracy. Niestety, zdrowie rzadko postrzegane jest jako główny obszar zainteresowania biznesu, choć zdrowie pracowników w sposób znaczący wpływa na kondycję finansową przedsiębiorstwa. W artykule wykorzystano wyniki reprezentacyjnego Badania Aktywności Ekonomicznej Ludności (BAEL) oraz badania modułowego Wypadki przy pracy i problemy zdrowotne związane z pracą przeprowadzonego przez Główny Urząd Statystyczny. W badaniu czynników niebezpiecznych wyodrębniono, obok czynników fizycznych, czynniki psychologiczne, takie jak: presja czasu lub nadmierne obciążenie ilością pracy, przemoc lub zagrożenie przemocą, nękanie lub zastraszanie, stres związany z możliwością utraty pracy w najbliższym czasie. Doskonałą ilustracją wdrażania zasad CSR w kontekście BHP mogą być przykłady dotyczące stosowania elastycznego czasu pracy, umiejętności godzenia obowiązków zawodowych z życiem prywatnym, działań eliminujących występowanie dyskryminacji i mobbingu – aktywność tego typu ma bezpośredni wpływ na atmosferę w miejscu pracy, przyczyniając się do podnoszenia poziomu bezpieczeństwa.

Warehousing is a complex and labour-intensive process. Although enourmous progress in logistics optimization has recently been noticed, the safety level in warehouses is still not satisfactory. CSR contains reduction of psychosocial risk and promotion of well-being at work. Unfortunately, business is rarely interested in employee’s health, despite the fact that health of employees significantly influences the financial situation of a company. The article presents the results of the generalized results of the sample Labour Force Survey and the ad-hoc LFS module survey Accidents at work and workrelated health problems conducted by the CSO. The research has distinguished many dangerous factors, both physical and psychological. The psychological ones include time pressure, excessive workload, violence or the risk of violence, harassment or mobbing, intimidation, and fear of losing the job. A good example of health and safety CRS rules implementation may be introducing flexible working hours, promoting work-life balance and preventing from discrimination and mobbing. Such activities positively influences atmosphere at work and increases safety level.
