Abstract

Introduction
Objective is to describe the knowledges, attitudes and practices on pulmonary tuberculosis of penitentiary staff in the Casablanca-Settat region.

Method
this epidemiological and cross-sectional study took place during the first semester of 2023, using a self-questionnaire.

Results
We interviewed 451 people (62.7% security personnel, 29.5% administrative personnel and 7.8% nursing assistants). 86% were men. The average age was 37 ± 8,2 years old. 72% had a high educational level. All of our respondents had already heard of pulmonary tuberculosis, including 69% through professional circles and 59% through the media. Tuberculosis was recognized by 95% as a contagious disease, 91% knew the airborne route as a mode of contamination and 62% knew that it is favored by HIV. The main symptoms of pulmonary TB mentioned were dominated by cough 77%, 50% knew that the duration of treatment is greater than or equal to six months, 28% knew that anti-tuberculosis drugs are taken once a day under supervision, 94 % knew that tuberculosis is curable and 76% knew it as a fatal disease in the absence of treatment. 87% preferred to consult the physicians if they had a persistent cough lasting more than 15 days.

Conclusion
Our population had a reasonable level of knowledge about tuberculosis.
Our survey thus shows the need to fight against the risk factors which favor the emergence of tuberculosis in prison, particularly in an overcrowded environment.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
Construction industry has known to be dirty, dangerous, and difficult (3D’s) type of work. Most Malaysian workers are not keen working in this industry and resulted in influx of foreign workers. Moreover, cheap labour become one of the factors hiring foreign workers. To measure fatigue among construction workers, researcher need to ensure questionnaires reliable to be used. Interviewing with safety officer, most of the foreign worker communicate well in Malay language. Therefore, in this study, the aim is to do translation and cultural adaptation of Fatigue Assessment Scale for Construction Worker (FASCW) to Malay version. Original FASCW is developed by researchers of the Caban Martinez Lab at University of Miami.

Method
Malay version of FASCW consist of 10 items was developed using recommended guidelines for translation, cultural adaption, and validation. Process was done by the panel in variety background include safety officer, public health specialist, occupational health doctor, psychologist, and language expert. Pre-final Malay-FASCW was developed and pre-tested through cognitive interview with 10 construction workers. At the end, validity and reliability was done among 150 construction workers.

Result
The comprehensive translation process had developed the pre-final Malay-FASCW. Judgement difficulty identified and was solved during the cognitive interview. All items were well accepted and judged important by the construction workers. Cronbach’s Alpha for the final Malay-FASCW &gt;0.8.

Discussion-Conclusion
This study, we translated, cultural adapted Malay version of FASCW and demonstrated face validity, content validity and acceptability of the scale through cognitive interview. The Malay FASCW is now available to use for construction workers in Malaysia.
O-250 SUPPLY CHAIN INFLUENCE IN EUROPEAN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR OSH
Authors: Elsler Dietmar 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction
The building clients can influence OSH challenges, but therefore more involvement is required in OSH practice at the construction sites. The key is a high degree of safety commitment, and specific people and resources dedicated to aiding, influencing and controlling the main contractor’s OSH efforts.

Methods
In our project, we analyse two client companies as case studies of this type of ‘client-led regulation’ with providers from several European countries. The first example concerns a large infrastructural transport project, second a multinational IT hardware manufacturer has developed its own professional construction function to aid in the building of projects where it is the client.

Résultats
The two examples above represent client companies that voluntarily go beyond the mandates of European and national legislation. It is vital to understand the mechanisms that have led them to adopt this position and find out if and how these mechanisms are transferable to other client companies in other contexts.

Discussion
There is great potential for improving OSH and working conditions in the European construction sector, if public policy-makers can encourage client organisations to actively partake in regulation and management of OSH activities in major construction projects.

Conclusion
Our research shows that active client involvement in day-to-day activities has the potential to improve the effectiveness of OSH activities across the board. There are several examples of such activities: safety walks and assessments of concrete risks, activities related to serious incidents such as accidents and near misses, and activities raising awareness and boosting cooperation around OSH issues on construction sites.
O-254 HIGH RELIABILITY MODEL (HRM) FOR OSH PERFORMANCE TURNAROUND IN ORGANISATIONS
Authors: Yalala Nonhlanhla Ndhlovu , Yalala Nonhlanhla 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
Several major hazard organisations have been attempting to influence the organisational and safety culture at their sites to transform them into a high reliability organisation (i.e., organisations that are able to manage and sustain almost error-free performance despite operating in hazardous conditions where the consequences of errors could be catastrophic) with a positive safety culture.

Methodology
A case study of manufacturing companies spanning beverage, cement and engineering manufacturing was conducted to test the HRM. Interviews with safety practitioners were conducted on the SHE systems and how they fit into this model.

Results
These works identified key features and characteristics that need to be adopted by organisations to achieve ongoing high reliability and safety objectives. Most of these organisations fit into the model and with more interventions and SHE based activities, they can achieve the HRM fully.

Discussion- Conclusion
The theory of High Reliability Organisations (HROs) may help leaders to achieve better outcomes in critical areas such as Safety and Health, Environmental Management, and Social Performance. They also minimise errors through teamwork, awareness of potential risks and constant improvement.

Authors: El Kholti Rim , Soltani Sara , Durand Pierre , El Kholti Abdeljalil 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Developing national occupational health and safety (OHS) profiles involves data collection and analysis to illuminate a country’s workplace safety landscape. This abstract explores data calculation methodologies for comprehensive national OHS profiles while adhering to the International Labour Organization (ILO) Recommendation 197.

Methodology
The data calculation process for national OHS profiles involves gathering information from diverse sources, including government records, industry reports, surveys, and health databases. This data encompasses workplace injury rates, hazard exposure, safety regulation compliance, and workforce demographics, aligning with ILO Recommendation 197.

Results
Analyzed data identifies trends, patterns, and disparities in OHS performance across sectors and regions, in line with the spirit of Recommendation 197. Key metrics such as injury frequency and severity rates quantitatively represent workplace safety challenges, ensuring they adhere to ILO guidelines.

Discussion
Adhering to the principles of Recommendation 197 is vital for meaningful national OHS profiles. Challenges like underreporting and data collection variations impact accuracy. Standardizing data collection methods and improving reporting practices, in accordance with ILO recommendations, enhances data precision.

Conclusion
The calculation of data for national OHS profiles requires a systematic and holistic approach. Adhering to ILO Recommendation 197 enhances the reliability and comparability of the collected data. As stakeholders strive to create standardized methodologies for data calculation and reporting, in alignment with international guidelines, they contribute to a safer and healthier work environment on a national level. The application of Recommendation 197 ensures that national OHS profiles not only provide accurate insights but also resonate with globally recognized best practices.

Authors: Calvet Bénédicte , Hong Quan Nha , Rives Romain , Comeau Marie , Ledoux Élise , Denis Denys 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction
In 1992, the Rio Conference laid out roles for different stakeholders in implementing sustainable development. More recently, the International Labour Organization (ILO) published a strategy to promote sustainable enterprises. With increased legislation in numerous countries, the concept of “sustainability” is widely used yet with no clear definition of the concept within occupational health and safety (OHS). The aim of this study was to clarify and conceptualize the concept of “sustainability” in the field of OHS (inclusive of disability prevention).

Methods
This study followed the eight-step concept analysis approach proposed by Walker and Avant (2011). A search in nine bibliographic databases were performed using key terms related with work, sustainability, and health and safety. The search was limited to literature in French and in English published from 2000 onwards. Moreover, grey literature was sought from websites of 32 research institutions part of the Sheffield group.

Results
A total of 272 references (174 scientific and 98 grey literature) were retained. Analysis highlighted various uses of the concept such as “sustainable prevention of musculoskeletal disorders or “sustainable return to work”. The presentation will present a synthesis on the different uses and definitions of sustainability found in references.

Discussion
Sustainability is a concept widely used in OHS but few references present definitions. Workplaces need more criteria to orient their actions.

Conclusion
This study provides a better understanding of the concept of “sustainability” in OHS, and identifies approaches that could potentially guide workplace practices.
O-262 EMPLOYEES’ WELLBEING CONSIDERATION IN CONSTRUCTION WORKPLACES
Authors: Iden Ehimare 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Construction has been rated as one of the most dangerous jobs in the world with the risk of falling objects and falls from height fast becoming snares in construction industry.Workers exposed daily to breathing in deadly asbestos and inhalation of silica and wood dust leading to possible asthma and cancer of the nostril. Informality of work is also high within the construction industry, this is made up of workers who may not be under a properly documented employment contract. In most construction sites in some countries, these sets of workers are even more in numbers than the workers with proper contracts.

Results
Enormity of the challenge Constructions are mostly done under harsh conditions, construction work goes on with high bodily and mental task on workers onsite. While most workplaces talk about wellbeing of workers and healthy life at retirement, this conversation seems to be alien to construction industry because most of them suffer from workplace accidents, work-related injuries and other factors and never live to have a healthy retirement life.

Discussion-Conclusion
Recommendations Compensation for construction workers or having health insurance cover for these workers does not amount to wellbeing. But, addressing issues as work pressure, deadlines, working under harsh weather conditions, inhuman treatment at work, discrimination in workplaces, over indulging of workers in heavy manual activities, poor workers’ supervision and absence of work autonomy are some key areas that must be looked at if we must improve wellbeing in construction industry.

Authors: Boone Anke 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Physicians worldwide face high pressure, which often begins during their medical education. This study investigates the evolution of burnout risk and the relationship between job demands, resources, burnout risk and work engagement, aiming to provide guidance for interventions that can enhance their mental well-being.

Methods
A longitudinal design was employed, utilizing an annual online questionnaire over three years across five Belgian universities. The study included four cohorts: bachelor students (n=361), master students (n=293), general practitioner trainees (n=108), and specialist trainees (n=135). Approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee UZ/ KU Leuven (S64150).

Results
The findings unveiled a statistically significant increase in emotional exhaustion, a primary dimension of burnout, as participants progressed from their first year bachelor (M=2.57, SD=1.20) to specialist trainees (M=3.14, SD=1.36) (t(93) =-2.97, p&lt;0.01). Furthermore, the results indicated a positive correlation between emotional exhaustion and an unhealthy work-life balance (r=0.75, p&lt;0.01), as well as with quantitative workload (r=0.50, p&lt;0.01). Additional statistical analysis, such as mixed effects models, are currently being conducted, and the results will be presented at the conference.

Discussion
These findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge on burnout, demonstrating a decline in mental well-being throughout medical education. In addition, the study identifies a healthy work-life balance and managing quantitative work load as crucial areas for improvement.

Conclusion
This study underscores the importance of prioritising mental well-being, starting from medical education. Future interventions should address these factors to promote and preserve the mental well-being of medical students and residents.

Abstract

Introduction
The aim of this study was to analyze job resources as predictors of the levels of job engagement and job satisfaction in a random population of workers towards development of occupational health and safety strategy.

Methods
This cross-sectional survey was conducted during winter 2022/2023 as a first phase of prospective longitudinal study. We used series of questionnaires to evaluate demographics, job characteristics, job resources (teamwork, remuneration, relationship with supervisor, job crafting, and engaging leadership), job engagement, and job satisfaction. The average age of participants (N=1.014, 52.1% females) was 42.7±11.1 years while the mean tenure was 16.5±10.9 years. They have worked on average 41.5±6.4 hours/week. Aiming to evaluate the role of job resources, controlling for age, gender, tenure, and working hours/week, hierarchical multiple regression models were tested for vigor, dedication, and job satisfaction. Control variables were entered in the first step, while different job resources were entered in three subsequent steps.

Results
Bivariate analyses showed significant positive correlations of vigor, dedication, and job satisfaction with analyzed job resources. Teamwork (β=.12), task crafting (β=.09), cognitive crafting (β=.24), and empowering leadership (β=.20) (R2=.31) predicted higher levels of vigor. Higher dedication was predicted by teamwork (β=.11), task crafting (β=.08), cognitive crafting (β=.26), relational crafting (β=.09) and inspiring leadership (β=.16) (R2=.32). Teamwork (β=.19), remuneration (β=.22), supervisor support (β=.11), cognitive crafting (β=.09), and empowering leadership (β=.14) (R2=.50) predicted higher levels of job satisfaction.

Discussion -Conclusion
Occupational health and safety strategy should take into account job crafting and engaging leadership components as significant predictors of higher job engagement and job satisfaction.

Authors: Lin Yen-Wei , Huang Chen-Yu , Lin Chih-Hao , Kales Stefanos , Lan Fan-Yun 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Research linking healthy behaviors and mental health among Asian firefighters is scarce. Therefore, we conducted this study to fill the literature gap.

Methods
We surveyed firefighters from the Tainan City Government Fire Bureau in May 2023. Forty-one percent of the entire population participated in the study. Those &lt; 18 years old or with missing essential data were excluded. Adherence to a Mediterranean-diet-based healthy lifestyle was assessed using a modified MEDI-Lifestyle score (ranging from 0 to 7). Mental health was measured using the revised and validated Chinese versions of Beck Depression Inventory for Primary Care (BDI-PC), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Data collection was done via REDCap, and SAS 9.4 was used for statistical analyses. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU112057AE).

Results
We analyzed 486 eligible firefighters (88.7% of all consented). After adjusting for age, sex, and living arrangement, we found a 1-point increment in the lifestyle score was associated with a 0.53-point decrement in BDI-PC (95%CI: 0.28-0.79), a 0.75-point decrement in PHQ-9 (95%CI: 0.40-1.11), and a 1.60-point decrement in PCL-5 (95%CI: 0.59-2.60). Additionally, adequate sleep had a significantly negative association with scores on all three screeners (all p &lt; 0.0001).

Discussion
To our knowledge, our study is the first one showing Asian firefighters’ adherence to a Mediterranean-diet-based healthy lifestyle is associated with better mental health. However, the cross-sectional design limits causal inference.

Conclusion
Healthy lifestyle is significantly associated with more favorable mental health scores among Taiwanese firefighters.
O-279 ASSESSING BURNOUT AND OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AMONG REHABILITATION PROFESSIONALS OF INDIGENOUS, BLACK, AND RACIALIZED BACKGROUNDS IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA
Authors: Chattu Vijay Kumar , Nowrouzi-Kia Behdin 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
Burnout and occupational stress can significantly impact home care rehabilitation professions (hcRPs) participation and engagement at work. The hcRPs provide services to clients who need help at home or long-term care facilities around the clock. This study aimed to understand burnout and job stress among hcRPs for racial/ethnic disparities related to burnout and occupational stress, and future policy implications.

Methods
We conducted in-depth interviews among the hcRPs with indigenous, marginalized, or racialized backgrounds. Participants from the equity-deserving groups were encouraged to describe their strategies to support their work-life balance and workplace mental health. The recorded data was transcribed, and thematic analysis was done using NVivo version 14.

Results
All the participants were female (n=10), from South Asian or of mixed-race backgrounds. Most participants were occupational therapists (6) or physiotherapists (3) and one speech therapist. All of them (100%) have experienced stress and burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. The stressors and barriers included travel issues, increased client load, language barriers, discrimination, and work-life imbalance.

Discussion
hcRPs have experienced occupational stress due to fear of COVID-19 infection, concerns about transmitting the virus to loved ones, rapid changes in clinical practice, increased workload demands, and professional isolation. Participants also emphasized the support they received from their peers and employer during these challenging times.

Conclusion
This study is the first to explore burnout and occupational stress among RPs from racialized/ minority groups in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Community-based organizations play a key role in fostering a safe, and inclusive work environment to improve the quality of home healthcare services.

Authors: Uetsuki Misako , Nagata Tomohisa , Odagami Kiminori , Adi Nuri Purwito , Mori Koji 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction
The past study revealed that participation in community activities produces positive spillover into work and increases individual work engagement (WE). The purpose of this study is to examine what type of participation in community activities affects WE.

Methods
We conducted an online self-administered questionnaire survey to workers aged 20 years or older in Japan in March 2022 for baseline and March 2023 for follow-up. The 16,629 participants who responded to both of those questionnaires were included in the analysis. We regarded to participation in community activities such as neighborhood association activities, volunteer activities, sports-related activities, and hobby-related group activities respondents were classified as “participating” if they answered, “participating at least one to three times a month”; otherwise, they were classified as “not participating”. Japanese version of UWES-9 tool was used to assess WE. Unstandardized partial regression coefficients (95% CI) were calculated using multiple regression analysis with participation in each community activity as the explanatory variable and WE in 2023 as the outcome. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of UOEH.

Results
The standardized partial regression coefficient when adjusted for baseline WE for participation in each community activities were as follows, neighborhood association activities 1.22(95% CI, 0.71-1.66), volunteer activities 1.72(95%CI, 1.19-2.24), sports-related activities 0.86(95%CI, 0.52-1.20), and hobby-related group activities 0.91(95%CI, 0.56-1.26).

Discussion-Conclusion
Participating in community activities and experiencing regular interaction with others is thought to be a positive emotion and have a positive impact on work. Further research is needed on the positive impact of community connections on the work.
