Reliability of job-title based physical work exposures for the upper extremity: comparison to self-reported and observed exposure estimates.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the agreement between job-title based estimates for upper extremity physical work exposures and exposure estimates from work observation and worker self-report. METHODS Self-reported exposure questionnaires were completed by 972 workers, and exposure estimates based on worksite observation were completed for a subset of 396 workers. Job-title based estimates were obtain...
متن کاملMatgéné: a program to develop job-exposure matrices in the general population in France.
OBJECTIVES Matgéné is a program to develop job-exposure matrices (JEMs) adapted to the general population in France for the period since 1950. The aim is to create retrospective exposure assessment tools for estimating the prevalence of occupational exposure to various agents that can then be correlated to health-related parameters. METHODS JEMs were drawn up by a team of six industrial hygie...
متن کاملCategorizing job physical exposures using simple methods.
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are debilitating for workers and costly for employers. Existing exposure assessment tools were modified for rapid job physical exposure and company organizational exposure assessment. These were augmented with injured worker interviews to "put the meet on the bones" in characterizing risk. These risk assessments are conducted in all industry sectors.
متن کاملPerformance of population specific job exposure matrices (JEMs): European collaborative analyses on occupational risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with job exposure matrices (ECOJEM).
OBJECTIVES To compare the performance of population specific job exposure matrices (JEMs) and self reported occupational exposure with data on exposure and lung function from three European general populations. METHODS Self reported occupational exposure (yes or no) and present occupation were recorded in the three general population surveys conducted in France, The Netherlands, and Norway. A...
متن کاملTitle: Comparison of Two Measures of Physical Work Load in Hospital Personnel: a Cross-sectional Study
Authors in the presented manuscript concluded that number of patient handling tasks (PHT) is a more feasible measure of exposure when assessing the risk of LBP compared to more advanced measures of physical load on the lower lumbar spine. Present study involves different hospital wards (Orthopaedic and Psychiatric). By work profile in those wards should be different work demands (physical and p...
