Utilizing Artificial Neural Networks for Establishing Hearing-Loss
Predicting Models Based on a Longitudinal Dataset and Their
Implications for Managing the Hearing Conservation Program
Though the artificial neural network (ANN) technique has been used to predict noiseinduced hearing loss (NIHL), the established prediction models have primarily relied on crosssectional datasets, and hence, they may not comprehensively capture the…
Genotoxic Effects on Gas Station Attendants in South-southeastern
México due to Prolonged and Chronic Exposure to Gasoline
Gasoline, a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds is classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Gasoline station attendants, consistently exposed to its hazardous components, may
face genotoxic effects. This study aimed to assess the…

Severity Analysis for Occupational Heat-related Injury Using the
Multinomial Logit Model
Workers are often exposed to hazardous heat due to their work environment, leading to
various injuries. As a result of climate change, heat-related injuries (HRIs) are becoming more problematic. This study aims to identify critical contributing…

Health and Safety Performance of UK Universities and How to
Improve It
This research suggested a method for evaluating health and safety performance as a
combination of reactive and active monitoring.
Methods: A number of Freedom of Information requests (FoI) were sent to the Health and safety Executive (HSE) and 100…

Role of Supervisor Consultation Toward Work Engagement:
A Prospective Cohort Study
We examined the association between supervisor consultation, as an actual practice
representing supervisor support, and work engagement.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study in Japan, involving 14,026 participants who met the
requirement…

Presenteeism and Traffic Accident Among Taxi Drivers: A Prospective
Cohort Study in Japan
Traffic accidents involving professional drivers have serious societal repercussions. Unique
occupational stressors and health risks exacerbate the likelihood of traffic accidents among professional
drivers. This study explores the association…

Evaluating the Protective Effectiveness of Rubber Glove Materials
Against Organic Solvents Upon Repeated Exposure and
Decontamination
Glove reuse poses risks, as chemicals can persist even after cleaning. Decontamination
methods like thermal aeration, recommended by US OSHA, vary in effectiveness. Some studies show
promising results, while others emphasize the importance of…

Black Lung Disease Among Coal Miners in Asia: A Systematic Review
Coal miners are highly prone to occupational health risks, such as black lung disease. This
study aims to assess the prevalence of black lung disease and the factors associated with black lung
disease among coal miners in Asia.
Method: This…

Safety Data Sheets as a Hazard Communication Tool: An Assessment of
Suitability and Readability
Safety data sheets (SDSs) are hazard communication materials that accompany chemicals/
hazardous products in the workplace. Many SDSs contain dense, technical text, which places considerable comprehension demands on workers, especially those with…
