Approach to Chemical Health Risk Assessment for Maintenance
Workers at Electronics Manufacturing Facilities
Maintenance workers in the electronics manufacturing industry are exposed to a diverse
combination of gaseous and particulate substances, yet specific guidance for assessing their chemical
health risks remains limited. The aims of this study are to…

Effect of Prolonged Use of Different Facemasks on Their Physical
Performance and Physiological Impact on the Wearer
Most published studies on potential facemask physical performances and physiological
impairments had shorter observation periods, and the observed occupational physical activities had
limited relevance to real occupational work. Thus, our study…

Development and Application of Standard Codes for the National
Exposure Surveillance System Utilizing Korea’s Nationwide Exposure
Database
The Work Environment Measurement Database (WEMD) is a valuable system for occupational exposure surveillance. However, its use is limited due to the lack of proper standardization of
exposure-related variables. Hence, we developed a new standard…

Risk for Diabetes From Long Working Hours and Night Work in the
United States: Prospective Associations and Machine Learning
Techniques
Diabetes contributes significantly to death in the U.S., with many working-age individuals
affected. This research determined the independent and joint associations of long working hours and
night work with diabetes risk in U.S. workers, and their…

From Safety Climate to Life Satisfaction: The Mediating Role of Job
Stress and Job Satisfaction
Healthcare workers and occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals are among the
key professions where a strong safety climate is critical. A robust safety climate is theorized to enhance
life satisfaction. Both job stress and job…

Ineffectiveness of Water Mist Spray to the Upper Body of Healthy
Adults in Suppressing Core Temperature Under Windless Environment
Global warming has increased heat-related illness concerns. Water misting is used for
workplace cooling, but its effect on core body temperature is unclear.
Methods: We examined whether spraying water mist on the upper body suppresses the increase…

Differences in Upper Extremity Muscle Activity, Neck Angle, and Body
Discomfort Between Tablet Usage With Virtual Keyboard and
Bluetooth Keyboard
The objective was to compare the differences in muscle activity of the upper extremities,
neck angles, and body discomfort during tablet use between virtual and Bluetooth keyboards.
Methods: Twenty-four female volunteers were randomly assigned to…

Quantitative Analysis of the Factors that Influence Welding Fume
Exposure via ART Modelling
Welding fumes from industrial operations pose serious health risks. This study aimed to
investigate the factors driving changes in welding fume exposure by analyzing key factors using the
Advanced REACH Tool (ART) for dust exposure assessment in…

Confounding Effects of Lifestyle Factors in Cancer Risk Estimation for
Occupational Radiation Exposure
The confounding effect of lifestyle factors is an important concern in occupational studies,
particularly when the risk magnitude is relatively small. This study aimed to evaluate the potential
confounding effects of lifestyle factors on the…

Development of Korean CARcinogen EXposure: IARC Group 2A
Carcinogens
Reliable exposure data are critical for occupational cancer prevention and epidemiological
studies. We developed the Korean CARcinogen EXposure (K-CAREX) to provide exposure prevalence and
intensity for 20 carcinogens classified as Group 1 by the…
