Informal wood furniture workers face various occupational health and safety risks that may
impact their health and quality of life (QOL). Improving health literacy (HL) could help mitigate these
risks. This study aims to assess HL levels and their…
Standardized exposure assessments were conducted to quantify the historical occupational
exposure to hand-arm vibration of workers in the German construction, underground coal mining,
woodworking, and metalworking industries.
Methods: A two-step…
The aims of this study are to examine how occupation-related data and information for
health (ODH) are collected and managed from census-based surveys and potential occupational illness
and injuries (POIS) statistics, and to propose a national…
Exposure to cooking fumes exposure likely increases the lung cancer risk in school cooks,
but research on the incidence of lung cancer in school cooks is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to
examine a nationwide cohort of school cooks for lung…
Waste collectors face multi-faceted health risks including exposure to musculoskeletal
