Abstract Physicians can struggle in managing return to work (RTW) consultations and facilitating a patient’s return to employment after the injury. As part of an exploration into the role of physicians in RTW, we examined resources, policies and guidelines developed for physicians. We identified resources developed by workers’ compensation boards, government bodies and other organizations across Canada. Materials were categorized by resource type, content and jurisdiction. A content analysis focused on key messages and discourse about what is expected of physicians and how they are instructed to behave as part of the workers’ compensation process. Analysis was informed by key issues identified in the critical qualitative RTW literature and involved the consideration of gaps, contradictions and ’silences’ in the data. While physicians are urged to encourage RTW, few resources explain how the workers’ compensation system operates and their role within it. There is a dearth of resources that address complex conditions and difficulties physicians may encounter while treating patients with compensable injuries. These gaps may hinder physicians’ understanding of their roles and responsibilities and delay workers’ RTW after injury. There is a need for resources aimed at physicians that clearly discuss their role and how to deal with complex conditions and RTW difficulties.
摘要医生可以在管理重返工作岗位(RTW)协商和促进病人的伤害后重返就业斗争。作为探索医生在RTW中的作用的一部分,我们研究了为医生制定的资源、政策和指导方针。我们确定了由加拿大各地的工人赔偿委员会、政府机构和其他组织开发的资源。根据资源类型、内容和管辖权对资料进行分类。内容分析侧重于对医生的期望以及他们如何被指示作为工人补偿过程的一部分的关键信息和话语。分析是根据关键的定性RTW文献中确定的关键问题进行的,并涉及考虑数据中的空白、矛盾和“沉默”。虽然医生们被敦促鼓励RTW,但很少有资源解释工人赔偿制度是如何运作的,以及他们在其中的作用。缺乏资源来解决复杂的条件和困难,医生可能会遇到,而治疗患者的赔偿伤害。这些差距可能会阻碍医生对他们的角色和责任的理解,并延迟工人受伤后的RTW。有必要为医生提供资源,明确讨论他们的角色以及如何处理复杂的条件和RTW困难。

Abstract This paper reports on a study undertaken to identify levels of MSD in relation to methods of waste collection. The need to quantify and eliminate ill health arising out of work is vital to reduce workplace absence leading to debate on associated relationships between the methods of waste collection and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Body mapping is a participatory research tool that has been successfully used to investigate workplace ill health problems. Participatory body mapping exercises were carried out using staff at a UK District Council 2 years before and after the move from boxes and baskets to a wheeled bin recycling service. The study introduces the concept of Average Pain Count (APC). The data support previous studies showing that wheeled bin-based services (APC 2.07 & 2.80) are associated with less MSD outcomes than services including boxes, baskets and sacks (APC 4.02). The surveys provided compelling evidence to suggest that there are associations between age and self-reported pain, although there appeared to be no patterns with regard to length of service. These findings should help Local Authorities better understand critical factors regarding waste collection strategies and self-reported pain. There are recommendations regarding the use of body mapping and for industry practice.
摘要:本文报告了一项研究,旨在确定与废物收集方法有关的MSD水平。量化和消除因工作引起的健康不良的必要性对于减少工作场所缺勤至关重要,从而导致就废物收集方法与肌肉骨骼疾病之间的相关关系进行辩论。人体测绘是一种参与性研究工具,已成功地用于调查工作场所的疾病健康问题。在英国区议会的工作人员从盒子和篮子转变为轮式垃圾箱回收服务前后两年,进行了参与性身体测绘练习。本研究引入了平均疼痛计数(APC)的概念。数据支持先前的研究,表明基于轮式垃圾箱的服务(APC 2.07和2.80)与包括盒子、篮子和麻袋的服务(APC 4.02)相比,MSD结果更少。这些调查提供了令人信服的证据,表明年龄和自我报告的疼痛之间存在关联,尽管在服务年限方面似乎没有模式。这些发现应有助于地方当局更好地了解有关废物收集策略和自我报告疼痛的关键因素。有关于使用人体绘图和行业实践的建议。

Safety clutter: the accumulation and persistence of ‘safety’ work that does not contribute to operational safety 安全混乱:对操作安全没有贡献的“安全”工作的积累和持续

Abstract In this paper, we provide a description of a previously unlabelled and under-theorised problem in safety management – ‘safety clutter’. Safety clutter is the accumulation of safety procedures, documents, roles, and activities that are performed in the name of safety, but do not contribute to the safety of operations. Safety clutter is a problem because of the opportunity cost of ineffective activity, because clutter results in cynicism and ‘surface compliance,’ and because clutter can hamper innovation and get in the way of getting work done. We identify three main mechanisms that generate clutter: duplication, generalization, and over-specification of safety activities. These mechanisms in turn are driven by asymmetry between the ease and the opportunity of adding or expanding safety activities, and the difficulty and lack of opportunity for reducing or removing safety activities. At the end of the paper, we provide some concrete suggestions for reducing safety clutter, based on our analysis of the problem.
摘要在本文中,我们描述了安全管理中一个以前未标记且理论不足的问题——“安全混乱”。安全混乱是以安全的名义执行的安全程序、文件、角色和活动的积累,但对操作的安全没有贡献。安全混乱是一个问题,因为无效活动的机会成本,因为混乱会导致愤世嫉俗和“表面顺从”,也因为混乱会阻碍创新并阻碍完成工作。我们确定了产生混乱的三种主要机制:安全活动的重复、泛化和过度规范。这些机制反过来又是由增加或扩大安全活动的容易性和机会,以及减少或取消安全活动的困难性和缺乏机会之间的不对称驱动的。最后,在分析问题的基础上,提出了减少安全杂波的具体建议。

What will go wrong has gone wrong: asbestos exposure risk among construction workers in Nigeria 哪里出了问题:尼日利亚建筑工人的石棉暴露风险

Abstract Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate with six varieties from two groups of minerals serpentine (chrysotile) and five amphiboles (amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthrophyllite and actinolite) with chrysotile widely used form. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) use in Nigeria from 1970 to 2000 was 1,091,370 tons. Its demand peak coincided with landmark edifices construction in the country that include FESTAC Village and the National Theatre Iganmu. The inward low-cost housing construction investment policy in urban areas in the 1970–1980s ensured demand for ACM was consistent. Given the widespread use of ACM and non-availability of national data on workers exposure, the problem posed is unlimited. Poor implementation of asbestos regulation and industry codes of practices contributed to inadequate risk management regime. Desktop survey on ACM demand revealed the product continual use, but goes unreported. Low cost of ACMs and the absence of strong regulation to enforce a ban in the industry are critical factors in their proliferation. Lack of official record for asbestos mortality or morbidity rates and the non-existence of reliable mechanism to enforce its ban present serious health risk among construction workers. This call for national asbestos exposure survey to ascertain the extent of the problem within the construction industry.
石棉是一种天然存在的硅酸盐,由蛇纹石(温石棉)两组矿物中的6个品种和5个角闪石(阿莫沸石、青橄榄石、透闪石、人闪石和放光石)组成,温石棉形式广泛使用。1970年至2000年,尼日利亚使用的含石棉材料(ACM)为1,091,370吨。它的需求高峰恰逢该国地标性建筑的建设,包括FESTAC村和国家剧院Iganmu。1970 - 1980年代城市地区向内低成本住房建设投资政策确保了对ACM的需求是一致的。鉴于ACM的广泛使用和无法获得关于工人接触的国家数据,所造成的问题是无限的。石棉法规和行业行为守则执行不力导致风险管理制度不完善。桌面对ACM需求的调查显示了该产品的持续使用,但没有报告。ACMs的低成本和缺乏强有力的监管来执行该行业的禁令是其扩散的关键因素。缺乏石棉死亡率或发病率的官方记录,也没有可靠的机制来执行禁令,这给建筑工人带来了严重的健康风险。这要求进行全国石棉暴露调查,以确定建筑业问题的严重程度。

Abstract Despite repeated calls for the use of proactive assessment of serious significant events in primary healthcare, GP teams in the UK rarely apply the kind of formal methods of prospective risk assessment that are commonly used in high-hazard industries. NHS Education for Scotland (NES) conducted an exploratory workshop to assess the potential value of Bowtie Analysis (BTA) as a means of proactively identifying and assessing the controls relied on to protect against the risk of a potential primary care ‘never event’. It was concluded that BTA could provide a straightforward approach to engage frontline care practitioners and managers in proactively assessing risk. However, concerns remain about the level of training, support and resources that would be required for the healthcare community to be capable of conducting BTA to an adequate quality standard without having to rely on external facilitators.
尽管一再呼吁使用的严重重大事件的前瞻性评估在初级卫生保健,全科医生团队在英国很少应用的前瞻性风险评估的一种正式的方法,通常用于高危险行业。苏格兰NHS教育(NES)进行了一次探索性研讨会,以评估鲍蒂分析(BTA)作为一种主动识别和评估所依赖的控制手段的潜在价值,以防止潜在的初级保健“从未发生过的事件”的风险。结论是,BTA可以提供一种直接的方法,让一线医护人员和管理人员积极评估风险。然而,对于医疗保健社区能够在不依赖外部辅助人员的情况下以适当的质量标准开展BTA所需的培训、支持和资源水平,人们仍然感到担忧。

Abstract In this article, the question of language is considered from the perspective of safety science, as a marker of potential limitations in current risk management practices in high-risk industries. Our main concern is understanding how the language used in daily risk management practices may serve or disserve the prevention of major accidents, as well as what opportunities being aware of such language may yield for improving current practices. We propose 10 different ways of assessing the strengths and limitations of risk management practices through the lens of the language in use. Our main intention is to clarify what characterizes the language of complexity, and how it may contribute to a more functional approach to the prevention of major accidents on a practical level.
摘要本文从安全科学的角度考虑语言问题,作为当前高风险行业风险管理实践中潜在局限性的标志。我们主要关心的是了解日常风险管理实践中使用的语言如何有助于或不利于预防重大事故,以及了解这些语言可能会产生哪些机会来改进当前的实践。我们提出了10种不同的方法,通过使用的语言来评估风险管理实践的优势和局限性。我们的主要目的是澄清复杂性语言的特征,以及它如何有助于在实际层面上采用更实用的方法来预防重大事故。

Purpose and enactment in job design: an empirical examination of the processes through which job characteristics have their effects 工作设计中的目的和制定:对工作特征产生影响的过程的实证检验

Abstract Job characteristics are linked with health, safety, well-being and other performance outcomes. Job characteristics are usually assessed by their presence or absence, which gives no indication of the specific purposes for which workers might use some job characteristics. We focused on job control and social support as two job characteristics embedded in the well-known Demand–Control–Support model. In Study 1, using an experience sampling methodology (N = 67) and a cross-sectional survey methodology (N = 299), we found that relationships between the execution of job control or the elicitation of social support and a range of other variables depended on the purposes for which job control was executed or social support elicited. In Study 2 (N = 28), we found that it may be feasible to improve aspects of well-being and performance through training workers on how to use job control or social support for specific purposes.
摘要工作特征与健康、安全、幸福感和其他绩效结果有关。工作特征通常是通过他们的存在或不存在来评估的,这并没有说明工人可能使用某些工作特征的具体目的。我们专注于工作控制和社会支持,这是众所周知的需求-控制-支持模型中嵌入的两个工作特征。在研究1中,使用经验抽样方法(N = 67)和横断面调查方法(N = 299),我们发现工作控制的执行或社会支持的获得与一系列其他变量之间的关系取决于执行工作控制或社会支持获得的目的。在研究2中(N = 28),我们发现,通过培训员工如何将工作控制或社会支持用于特定目的来提高幸福感和绩效可能是可行的。

The effect of a policy measure on work-related health risks – combine the quantitative and the qualitative 政策措施对与工作有关的健康风险的影响——定量和定性相结合
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2018-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/14773996.2017.1415421

Abstract Policy-makers have an urgent need for quantitative data to support their decision-making process. Since quantitative data are rarely available, the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods is needed to estimate the consequences of a policy measure. In this study, we will estimate the effects of the abolishment of the risk assessment obligation on work-related health risks at small companies in low risk sectors (SCLR) in the Netherlands, using a mixed methods approach. Data were derived from surveys, literature and expert elicitation. A reduction of 26% in the number of preventive measures was predicted. However, compliance with the policy measure in SCLR was very low (27%). In all scenarios, we found statistically significant but small unfavourable effects on the exposure to work-related health risks. We concluded that the abolishment of the risk assessment obligation in SCLR will have no large effects on health and health costs.
决策者迫切需要定量数据来支持他们的决策过程。由于很少有定量数据,因此需要结合定量和定性方法来估计一项政策措施的后果。在本研究中,我们将采用混合方法,估计取消风险评估义务对荷兰低风险部门(SCLR)小公司工作相关健康风险的影响。数据来源于调查、文献和专家的启发。预计预防措施的数量将减少26%。然而,对SCLR政策措施的依从性非常低(27%)。在所有情况下,我们发现统计上显著但较小的不利影响暴露于与工作有关的健康风险。我们的结论是,在SCLR中取消风险评估义务不会对健康和健康成本产生大的影响。
