Industrial hygiene, Manufacturing processes, Parameter estimation, Forecasting, State-space methods, and Ventilation

Exposure assessment models are deterministic models derived from physical–chemical laws. In real workplace settings, chemical concentration measurements can be noisy and indirectly measured. In addition, inference on important parameters such as generation and ventilation rates are usually of interest since they are difficult to obtain. In this article, we outline a flexible Bayesian framework for parameter inference and exposure prediction. In particular, we devise Bayesian state space models by discretizing the differential equation models and incorporating information from observed measurements and expert prior knowledge. At each time point, a new measurement is available that contains some noise, so using the physical model and the available measurements, we try to obtain a more accurate state estimate, which can be called filtering. We consider Monte Carlo sampling methods for parameter estimation and inference under nonlinear and non-Gaussian assumptions. The performance of the different methods is studied on computer-simulated and controlled laboratory-generated data. We consider some commonly used exposure models representing different physical hypotheses. for this article are available online. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This summary reviews the general features and results of the research, entitled " The Contributions of Industrial Hygiene in Occupational Ergonomics ", and is about clarifying the role of Industrial Hygiene as one of the occupational health and safety sciences specialized in the expectation of exposure to risks of different types of workplaces and Also study and analyze the method of entering the damage to the human body and its effect on the internal organs and sensory damage. What distinguishes this science is to anticipate exposure or damage to humans in the workplace through the application of mechanisms of the process of anticipation. With the development of manufacturing technology and its dependence on systems in the management and manufacturing processes, there are many renewable and diversified workplace hazards that affect human health and production efficiency. As a result, the Occupational Ergonomics has emerged as a specialized science in studying ergonomics Environment, Software, Systems, Workplace Components, Identifying the sciences and disciplines required to study their risks, and finding solutions through the applied side of this science, the Occupational Ergonomics Program. This research reviews the contributions and role that Industrial Hygiene can achieve through its stages and specialized in the applications of the scientific knowledge of Ergonomics through information and mechanisms by:- To support the types of Occupational Ergonomics experience with medical information about the senses and internal organs of the body and the impact of exposure to damage to them.- Incorporation of predictive or predictive mechanisms of risk in macro ergonomics methods specialized in studying systems, their interactions and their impact on humans.- Contribute to the Occupational Ergonomics program by the specialists , and supporting all stages of data and information.

INDUSTRIAL hygiene, INDUSTRIAL toxicology, ENVIRONMENTAL toxicology, OCCUPATIONAL diseases, and CHEMICAL laboratories

In 1910, the founder of the Clinica del Lavoro of Milan, Luigi Devoto established a chemistry laboratory in the new institute, sustaining its importance in the study of occupational diseases. In 1948, the new director of the Clinica, Enrico C. Vigliani established the first laboratory of industrial hygiene in Italy, in the years of the economic boom. In 1960s, this laboratory, directed by Nicola Zurlo, significantly contributed to the research in the field. In 1980s and 1990s, the laboratory of the Clinica started to explore the field of environmental toxicology, studying the effects of benzene and other traffic pollutants on the general population. The analysis of history of the Clinica del Lavoro of Milan may represent a valuable tool for studying the origin and the development of industrial hygiene, occupational and environmental toxicology in the twentieth century.

Safety and Occupational health is a Science aiming to protecting workers in factories and work facilities from accidents that may cause injuries or death to the worker. In light of modern industrial and technological developments and the reliance on systems in various forms in the industrial processes and management of institutions , many problems in the interfacing Between the human (worker) and the new elements of the productive process, the reliance on systems resulted in ergonomics problems facing workers in the workplace which led to the emergence of Occupational Ergonomics (OE) to study these interactive relations in the workplace and the relevant harmful effects on human beings, and HSE applications , which have become dependent on proactive processes or prediction of accidents or occupational diseases, which contributed to the emergence of Industrial Hygiene (IH), which is a Modern science specialized in the study and analysis of industrial stages, the systems used and procedures in order to anticipate the process of man exposure to or being affected by risk.This summary reviews the general features and findings of the research, entitled " The Contributions of Occupational Ergonomics in Industrial Hygiene" . The research focuses on clarifying the role of Occupational Ergonomics in the field of studying the risks and security of people in the workplace along with supporting and reinforcing public health, through demonstrating the characteristics of this science in terms of its division into the types of interfacing between Human and the components of the workplace (the Technology of Occupational Ergonomics), which helps classify the types of confrontation and identify the disciplines and sciences that study and analyze risks : it is characterized by the study and analysis of systems , their interaction with each other and the resulting impact on the human (macro ergonomics) , in addition to provide solutions through the program Occupational Ergonomics , which is one of the most practical aspects of this science.Given that Industrial hygiene is modern science, involved the health and safety of human in the work place, this research reviews the role of Ergonomist and the contributions of this science in general in the stages of Industrial hygiene so as to achieve integration to realize the common goal better, which will be reflected Human health , production efficiency, reducing occupational injuries and diseases in the workplace.

Industrial hygiene, Government agencies, Mediation, and Dispute resolution (Law)

Research is limited regarding the type and amount of experience that matters for disputant preferences in dispute resolution processes. The authors focus on a unique federal appellate agency dispute resolution program at the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Participants are professionals with repeat experience who are likely to have future interactions with the agency. Using survey data and regression analyses, the authors find that 1) greater personal experience with mediation or adjudication leads to a greater preference for mediation over adjudication; 2) higher levels of satisfaction with the fairness of process are associated with stronger preferences for mediation over adjudication; and 3) disputants who perceive a fair process in their most recent cases will express a greater preference for mediation over adjudication. Results have important implications for dispute system design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Industrial hygiene, Medical personnel, Work environment, Industrial safety, and Factor analysis

Occupational health and safety can be defined as a collection of studies and practices aiming at reducing occupational risks and occupational risks due to physical environment in the workplace. Occupational health and safety is the most important method of creating a safety culture together with the occupational health and safety system. Employees demonstrate healthy and safe behaviors by applying knowledge and skills the yacquire through occupational health and safety training to their work. As in other sectors, health care workers are frequently faced with biological, chemical, physical and psychosocial risk factors specific to their sectors. It is aimed to reduce all risks with the security culture to be created through trainings in the health sector. The aim of the study is to measure the effects of occupational health and safety trainings on safety culture. As a result of the analysis, the Coronbach's Alpha (α) value of the 22 question items used in the questionnaire is 0.927, which shows that the survey questions are consistent in itself and measure the work done very well. Also obtained by exploratory (explanatory) factor analysis; It shows that the α values of the three factors named as "Safety Rules", "Safety Communication" and "Safety Training" represent the factors of the question items in the factors very well and are consistent within themselves.
