Benjamin Button

 From the Director's Desk

 --Christine M. Branche, Ph.D., Acting Director, NIOSH

Except for Benjamin Button and Peter Pan, we all get older. In the U.S. and indeed around the world, this

fact of life presents an array of challenges for occupational safety and health professionals, centered on the

aging of the workforce.

Life expectancy is increasing. The unusually large "baby boom" population is graying. The number of young

people now entering or close to entering the workforce is smaller than the number of older people who have

reached or are about to reach traditional retirement age. As a result, the workforce as a whole is growing

older.

When an expert panel convened by the National Research Council assessed the health and safety needs of

the aging workforce in 2004 at NIOSH's request, it reported that there are 93 million people in the U.S. age 45

and over, representing 44 percent of the population over age 15. By 2050, the panel noted, it is predicted that

the number of people age 45 and over will grow to 170 million, representing 53 percent of the population. More

recently, as further evidence for the graying of the workforce, 85 percent of unretired baby boomers surveyed

by McKinsey & Co., a management consulting firm, said it was at least somewhat likely that they would

continue to work beyond the traditional retirement age. Many of the respondents said they planned to
open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com

continue working out of financial necessity.

To be sure, this trend of an older workforce has advantages. There is value in having work performed by

someone who has years of experience from which to draw. There is value in having mentors who can teach

the ropes to younger colleagues. For the person who likes the regularity, economic benefits, and

camaraderie of going to work, a job can be stimulating -- even fun.

At the same time, many people may feel compelled to continue working when they would rather be retired,

and many others may wish to continue working but will be challenged to do so for various reasons. These

dynamics raise questions for safety and health that ordinarily would not be of concern for a younger working

population, or at least not in the same ways. These are not abstract questions. They involve challenges that

employers, workers, and workers' families will face on an average day on the job when an older worker

punches the time clock at a construction site, takes the night shift at a nursing station, or staffs a phone

bank at a call center:

What are the physical effects of a strenuous job for a person over 45 who lifts heavy loads or performs

repetitive movements?

What difficulties do older workers face in adapting to new technologies and new ways of doing

business? 

What challenges are posed for older men and women who come into the workplace with diabetes,

hypertension, and other age-dependent conditions? 

What work-and-family conflicts exist for workers 45 and older who have responsibilities both for elderly

parents and for children in school? 

What measures are needed to help people maintain good health and physical capability throughout

their adult lives, reducing cumulative wear and strain as they enter their 50s, 60s, and 70s?

The 2004 National Research Council report, "Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers."

http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=10884, presented a thoughtful strategy for new research to

address these and other concerns associated with the aging workforce. The recent downturn of the stock,

credit, and banking markets has added new urgency in returning to these challenges and following up on the

credit, and banking markets has added new urgency in returning to these challenges and following up on the

panel's recommendations, as financial losses compel even more men and women in their 50s and early 60s

to reassess their retirement plans.

Last month, in collaboration with the Society of Occupational and Environmental Health, the Association of

Occupational and Environmental Clinics, CPWR-the Center for Construction Research and Training, the

University of Maryland, Work and Health Research Center, the VA, and AARP, NIOSH held a national

workshop, "Healthy Aging for Workers: Anticipating the Occupational Safety and Health Needs of an

Increasingly Aging Workforce." http://www.soeh.org/meeting/meeting.html The workshop provided a forum for

revisiting the 2004 report, assessing developments in the intervening five years, stimulating needed research,

and renewing our shared pledge to meet the challenges outlined in the study. I recommend the NRC report to

you, and I also invite you to watch for the report that will be prepared from last month's workshop, which is

expected to be published later this year.

Do you have suggestions for research to fill data gaps, meet health surveillance needs, and develop

interventions that will be necessary for progress in this area? Do you want to join in planning and executing

this research? We invite your interest and participation in this valuable work. We are developing a web topic

page to provide resources about issues of safety, health, and older workers, and to continue the dialogue

begun with the NRC report and last month's workshop. We will announce the posting of the new web page in

a future issue of eNews, and we hope you will use it to provide your suggestions for research, and to join us

in this work.

When it is said that people want to enjoy their Golden Years, the phrase often has an undertone of irony and

worry. Some older men and women may find it imperative to keep working because of financial necessity, but

health impairments or physical disabilities can make it difficult or impossible to meet the demands of a job.

Others enter this stage of their lives with energy and good health, and may wish to work. However, as they

enter the hiring line, they may face a disadvantage because of generalizations about age, physical ability,

and mental acuity, even though, on the whole, older workers tend to be more reliable and do not lose strength

with age as quickly as might be expected. As the federal agency that conducts research and makes

recommendations to keep the workplace safe and healthy, we want to take on those concerns as they relate

to workplace factors. We and our partners want to keep the Golden Years truly golden for our working men

and women.

Quebec Issues Nanoparticle Risk Management Guidance

On February 3, the Quebec Occupational Health and Safety Research Institute (IRSST) released a bestpractices guide for managing potential occupational risks associated with engineered nanoparticles. Best

Practices Guide to Synthetic Nanoparticle Risk Management, issued in collaboration with

Quebec's Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CSST) and NanoQuébec, refers to and

reinforces NIOSH findings and recommendations. The Quebec document is available at

http://www.irsst.qc.ca/files/documents/PubIRSST/R-599.pdf.

Project Assesses Worker Exposure to Lead during Metal Recycling Tasks

Researchers from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), Bureau of Occupational Health,

conducted the Metal Recycling Industry Project (MRIP) to assess workers' exposures to lead during typical

metal recycling tasks. Significant lead exposure occurred when workers cut not only painted metals, but also

unpainted metals and new steel—both considered lead-free by the industry. Lead dust contamination was

also found throughout the metal recycling facilities, including areas that would be expected to be clean, such

as lunchrooms, bathrooms, locker rooms, and on workers’ hands before eating. The report and fact sheet are

available on the NYSDOH website at http://www.nyhealth.gov/environmental/workplace/metal_recycling/.
