title: Arbejdsmiljøundersøgelse for DSB's lokomotivpersonel, 1980
title: Working Environment of DSB Engine Drivers, 1979-1981

description: I perioden august 1979 til februar 1981 er der foretaget en undersøgelse af lokomotivpersonalets arbejdsmiljø ved DSB. Undersøgelsen blev til på initiativ af Dansk Lokomotivmands Forening og er betalt af Arbejdsmiljøfondet. Institut for Social Medicin ved Københavns Universitet har udført undersøgelsen.
        
        Lokomotivmændene har længe følt, at deres arbejdssituation blev blev mere og mere intens. En vis dokumentation herfor fik de i 1974, da resultaterne af en undersøgelse af samtlige forbund tilknyttet LO blev offentliggjort. Den viste, at lokomotivmændene både m.h.t. fysisk, psykisk og socialt arbejdsmiljø lå blandt de mest belastede erhvervsgrupper i Danmark.
        
        Undersøgelsen er foretaget som en spørgeskemaundersøgelse til samtlige lokomotivmænd (besvarelsesprocent: 82). Som noget nyt har der været stillet en række spørgsmål til lokomotivmændenes hustruer (besvarelsesprocent: 97).
        
        Undersøgelsen omhandler det fysiske, psykiske og sociale arbejdsmiljø samt helbredstilstanden hos lokomotivpersonalet ved DSB. De nævnte forholds konsekvenser er ligeledes beskrevet.
      
        De fysiske miljøfaktorer er opdelt i følgende forhold:
        
        a) lys- og lydforhold
        
        b) klimatiske forhold
        
        c) ergonomiske forhold og
        
        d) andre fysiske forhold, fortrinsvis knyttet til arbejdstidens
        
        tilrettelæggelse
      
        De psykiske miljøfaktorer er kortlagt ud fra:
        
        a) ensformighed i arbejdet
        
        b) arbejdsintensitet
        
        c) ansvar og
        
        d) chokpåvirkninger.
        
        De sociale faktorer omfatter:
        
        a) isolation i arbejdssituationen
        
        b) medindflydelse og
        
        c) kammeratskab.
      
        Helbredstilstanden er beskrevet ud fra forekomsten af sygdomssymptomer som hjertekrampe, åndenød, hoste, mavesmerter og hovedpine. Kontakten til sundhedssunhedsvæsenet er fastslået i sammenhæng hermed.
        
        Endelig er konsekvenserne af arbejdsmiljøet i sin helhed for familieliv og kontakt med venner belyst dels ud fra respondentens opfattelse dels dennes hustru/samlever
description: During the period August 1979 to February 1981, an investigation was carried out concerning the working environment of DSB (the Danish State Railways) engine drivers. The investigation came into existence on the initiative of the Danish Locomotive Engineers' Union (Dansk Lokomotivmands Forening) and was paid for by the Danish Working Environment Fund (Arbejdsmiljøfondet). The investigation was carried out at the Institute of Social Medicine, University of Copenhagen (Institut for Social Medicin, Københavns Universitet).     #The engine drivers had long felt that their working conditions were getting more and more stressed. They had a certain degree of substantiation of this in 1974 with the publication of the results of an investigation of all the unions affiliated to the LO (the Danish Trades Union Congress). This study demonstrated that both as regards physical, psychological and social working environment engine drivers were among the most exposed occupational groups in Denmark.     #The investigation was carried out as a questionnaire survey of all engine drivers (obtained: 82%). A novelty was introduced in that a number of questions was put to the wives of the engine drivers (obtained: 97%).     #The survey examines the physical, mental and social working environment of DSB engine drivers, as well as their health and the consequences of their working environment. The following factors are examined:     #     #Physical environment:     #1) Light and noise factors.     #2) Climatic factors.     #3) Ergonomic factors.     #4) Other physical factors, especially factors concerning    working hours.     #     #Mental environment:     #1) Monotony of work.     #2) Intensity of work.     #3) Responsibility.     #4) Shock factors.     #     #Social environment:     #1) Isolation.     #2) Staff participation.     #3) Relations with colleagues.     #     #As for health, the survey examines symptoms of digestive trouble, leg trouble, headaches, back trouble, heart trouble, neck trouble, reduced hearing, difficulty in breathing (dyspnoia), and coughing. The survey also examines the engine drivers' contact with the health service.     #Finally, the survey deals with the consequences of their working environment for the DSB engine drivers' relations with family and friends. This aspect is examined from the point of view of the engine driver himself as well as his wife/cohabitant
