Aim
The aim was to investigate mortality among Swedish seafarers compared to the general population, and differences in mortality between occupational categories and differences over time.
Methods
Longitudinal register-based cohort study of 85,169 Swedish seafarers registered in the Swedish Transport Agency's Seafarers’ Registry (SR) 1985–2013. The cohort was matched with the Swedish Cause of Death Register. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated stratified by gender, job category, start of sea service, and time registered in the SR. Seafarers were followed until 66 years of age. Mortality by diseases was analyzed for seafarers with at least 5 years of sea service and mortality due to external causes was analyzed for all seafarers.
Results
Total mortality was increased among men who started to work before 1985 (SMR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.21–1.32) and borderline significantly increased among women (SMR: 1.14, 95% CI: 0.99–1.32). Mortality ratios due to lung cancer, accidents, suicides, and mental disorders including substance abuse, were increased among seafarers who started to work before 1985. Mortality risks were particularly increased among the crew. SMRs tended to decrease over time, but mortality due to accidents was still increased among the crew who started to work 1985 or later (SMR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.02–2.63).
Conclusion
Swedish seafarers had an increased mortality compared to the general population in 1985–2013, particularly the crew. There is still an increased mortality in accidents among crew who started to work 1985 or later.

Background
To mitigate health risks associated with occupational heat stress, workers are advised to adhere to a work-rest regimen, and hydrate regularly. However, it remains unclear if beverage temperature influences whole-body heat exchange during work-rest cycles, and if responses differ in older workers who have a blunted heat loss capacity.
Methods
Ten young (mean [SD]: 22 [3] years) and 10 older (60 [4] years) males performed four 15-min bouts of moderate-intensity cycling at a fixed rate of metabolic heat production (200 W·m−2), each interspersed by 15-min rest in dry heat (40°C, ~12% relative humidity). On separate days, participants consumed either ice-slurry (~0°C), standardized to provide a heat transfer capacity of 75 kJ·m−2, or an identical mass of warm fluid (37.5°C) before the first and third exercise bouts. Evaporative and dry heat exchange (direct calorimetry) and metabolic heat production (indirect calorimetry) were measured continuously to determine cumulative heat storage (summation of heat loss and heat gain) over the entire protocol. Rectal temperature was also measured continuously.
Results
Relative to warm fluid, ice-slurry ingestion reduced cumulative heat storage in young (69 [181] vs. 216 [94] kJ) and older males (90 [104] vs. 254 [140] kJ, main effect: p < 0.01), but was unaffected by age (p = 0.49). However, rectal temperature was unaffected by beverage temperature in both groups (all p ≥ 0.15).
Conclusion
We show that cold fluid ingestion is an appropriate administrative control for both young and older males as it can mitigate increases in body heat content during moderate-intensity work-rest cycles in dry heat.

Classism, sexism, racism, and nativism intersect to create inequitable conditions and health outcomes based on workers’ social identities. This study describes the health status, work conditions, and nonwork conditions of the United States (U.S.) working-classed at the intersections of class, sex, racial, and nativity identities.
Methods
Descriptive statistics (e.g., frequencies, percentages) were calculated from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey data for the total working classed sample (N = 11,884) and 16 intersectional groupings. General and psychosocial health status, work factors, and access to resources outside of work were examined.
Results
Intersectional analysis revealed divisions in work and nonwork conditions despite the majority of each grouping reporting very good/excellent health. The majority of the female Latine born-outside-U.S. grouping (60%) reported not having paid sick leave. The majority of the male Latine born-outside-U.S. grouping reported having neither paid sick leave (62%) nor health insurance (55%). The majority of the female Latine (53%), male Latine (60%), and male Black (55%) born-outside-U.S. groupings reported workplaces as less safe. The majority of the female Latine born-outside-U.S. grouping (53%) was the only grouping to report being moderately/very worried about being able to afford housing costs.
Conclusion
The health status and precarity of work and nonwork conditions of the U.S. working classed may be shaped by intersecting systems of power across class, sex, racial, and nativity identities. Intersectional analysis increases our purview to see who is most affected, how, and where, which can inform future opportunities to mitigate worker health inequities.

Background
Long-term opioid use is related to numerous harms and has uncertain efficacy for chronic, non-cancer pain. Identification of individuals at risk for long-term opioid use can help support treatment decisions. The aim of this study was to determine psychosocial factors associated with opioid use 6 months after a work-related injury.
Methods
This was a prospective observational cohort study incorporating surveys and administrative data. Eligibility included a workers' compensation claim for an injury between June 2019 and September 2021, no opioid use within 3 months before injury, and opioid use within 6 weeks after injury. The outcome was self-reported opioid use at the 6-month follow-up survey (no use, use some days, or use most or every day). Multinomial logistic regression models were used to calculate relative risk ratios (RRRs) for associations between self-reported psychosocial factors and long-term opioid use.
Results
Of the 1724 respondents, 301 (17.5%) reported taking long-term opioids on some days and 87 (5.0%) reported taking long-term opioids on most or every day. After adjustment for sociodemographic and clinical covariates, workers reporting work fear-avoidance had a higher relative risk of opioid use most or every day, versus no opioid use at the 6-month survey, compared to those without work fear-avoidance (RRR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.08, 3.50). Anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and recovery expectations were not associated with long-term opioid use after covariate adjustment.
Conclusions
Work fear-avoidance was associated with long-term opioid use in this study of injured workers. Addressing fears surrounding an injury and returning to work may help deter reliance on long-term opioids.

Objectives
Research characterizing work-related injuries and illnesses (WRII) has predominantly focused on inpatients and deaths, despite evidence that 4% of WRII are admitted as inpatients and deaths are less than 0.2% of acute WRII. Our aim is to determine the usefulness of incorporating emergency department (ED) hospital data into current occupational health surveillance systems.
Methods
Data on ED and admitted WRII treated in Illinois hospitals from 2017 to 2021 were analyzed. Demographic characteristics, primary diagnosis, procedures undertaken, and unique patient estimates are described. Multivariable logistic regression models were developed to evaluate predictors of treatment in the ED and multivariable median regression models determined associations of total hospital charges.
Results
Between 2017 and 2021 there were 488,033 hospital presentations (95.9% nonadmissions) for WRII in Illinois, equating to a crude annual population rate of 1502.1/100,000. Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) were disproportionately treated for illnesses, while Hispanic or Latino workers were disproportionately treated for injuries. African-Americans had the highest rate of ED emergent presentations (incident rate ratio [IRR] = 1.3, ref = NHW) and were less likely to be admitted for emergent presentations (IRR = 0.7, ref = NHW). ED presentations were more likely to be female, present with an injury, and at a rural, versus urban, hospital. Radiological investigations compromised the majority of procedures for nonadmitted patients (n = 403,317), and 94.8% were coded for a body region
Conclusion
Between 2017 and 2021 in Illinois, there were nearly 500,000 hospital visits charged to workers' compensation totaling over US$ four billion. ED data provide additional insights into work-related chronic conditions, health disparities, and the usage of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for WRII.

Although asbestos has been officially banned in France for over two decades, it remains a major public health and occupational health issue. In 2012, French asbestos regulations became considerably more stringent and complex. Consequently, French Public Works and Building Trades Prevention Organisation (OPPBTP) and occupational health services have been working together for several years to support construction professionals. This support involves information, training and advice. This article presents the range of tools developed by OPPBTP and occupational health services to better understand the asbestos risk as it affects construction companies. These tools and this partnership have demonstrated positive results in confronting risk and in the implementation of suitable means of prevention. They serve the best interests of employees, companies and clients, by combining safeguards to employees' health and worksite performance.
