The earliest and most extensive societal exposures to engineered nanoparticles are likely to occur in the workplace. Until toxicologic and health effects research moves forward to characterize more broadly the potential hazards of nanoparticles and to provide a scientific basis for appropriate control of nanomaterials in the workplace, current and future workers may be at risk from occupational...

Hippuric acid is the primary metabolite of toluene, a solvent widely used in industrial processes with considerable toxic effects, a fact which justifies regularly monitoring individuals with occupational exposure to this solvent. This work aims at evaluating urinary hippuric acid levels found in workers subject to biological monitoring. A retrospective study was carried out with data referring...

The lesion has been reported to occur mostly on the hands of male hairdressers. The purpose of this article is to report a rare case of a female hairdresser who developed a pilonidal sinus in the interdigital web of her non-dominant hand and rev...

The knowledge that certain occupations may lead to disease is probably as old as these occupations, but the first comprehensive effort in occupational medicine was made by Ramazzini in 1700, and the active prevention of occupational diseases began much later. Activities on an international scale were first instituted at the Congress of the International Working Men's Associations in 1867, and f...

The Risk Level Based Management System (RLBMS) is an occupational risk management (ORM) model that focuses occupational safety, hygiene, and health (OSHH) resources on the highest risk procedures at work. This article demonstrates the model's simplicity through an implementation within a heavily regulated research institution. The model utilizes control banding strategies with a stratification ...

This paper focuses on occupational health and safety of employees in the workplace laws so implemented. Occupational Safety is an integrated field that concerned with health, safety, welfare workers all jobs. The Health Administration (OSHA) was found 1970 as a result realization should have reasonable expectation at work. grown to be top concern for stakeholders when it comes caring human reso...

Occupational safety and health is increasingly considered to be a distinct scientific discipline, with well-defined place in the labor sciences system. The evolution of research recent years at European international level has highlighted an increasing interpenetration occupational other disciplines circumscribed or related field industrial engineering, such as medicine hygiene, ergonomics, soc...

BACKGROUND In medical terms, occupational diseases are defined as health disorders specifically associated with the working environment of people and their occupational activity. From the medical and legal perspectives, the vast majority of European countries consider particular diseases to be of occupational origin if they are mentioned in the current list of occupational diseases and caused b...
