متن کاملInterventions to reduce the ergonomic exposures of drywall installation
The study was conducted to assess the efficacy of an assistive tool to reduce the physical exposures of the ceiling installation task. Based on the idea of using a ‘deadman’ (long narrow piece of panel) to help hold the panels on the ceiling while installing them, a prototype tool was fabricated that could be placed on its own while supporting the ceiling. This tool, which was introduced to the...

متن کاملQuantification of historical dust exposures in the diatomaceous earth industry.
Quantitative estimates of dust exposure in a diatomaceous earth (DE) mining and milling operation have been derived based on air sampling records for the period 1948-1988. A total of 6395 records was included in the analysis. Conversion of results obtained by particle counting, expressed as millions of particles per cubic feet (mppcf) of gravimetrically from a filter cassette and expressed as m...
متن کاملExposure assessment in ergonomic epidemiology: is there something specific to the assessment of biomechanical exposures?
E isen and colleagues have provided a good example of the use of smoothing splines in a thorough analysis of exposure-response data, for a study of lung cancer in relation to silica exposure. Exposure-response data are increasingly important for two reasons. First, as noted by Bradford Hill, a positive exposure-response provides support for a causal interpretation of an association. In the case...
