Association between hearing protection device use and noise-induced hearing loss among manufacturing workers in China: A cross-sectional study
Objective: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a leading occupational illness globally. This study aimed to identify factors related to hearing protection device (HPD) use that were associated with NIHL and to quantify the relationship between the duration of HPD use and NIHL risk. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 845 noise-exposed manufacturing workers in China underwent health examinations and surveys. The associations between hearing prot…
The role of kurtosis and kurtosis-adjusted energy metric in occupational noise-induced hearing loss among metal manufacturing workers
Background Noise energy has been well-established to increase the risk of occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). However, the role of noise temporal structure (expressed by kurtosis) or its combination with energy metrics (e.g., kurtosis-adjusted cumulative noise exposure, adj-CNE) in occupational NIHL was still unclear. Methods A cross-sectional survey of 867 Chinese workers, including 678 metal manufacturing workers and 189 workers exp…
Investigation of critical factors influencing the underestimation of hearing loss predicted by the ISO 1999 predicting model
The ISO 1999 predicting model significantly underestimated the noise-induced hearing loss among manufacturing workers. The degree of underestimation became more significant at the noise exposure condition of fewer than ten years, less than 90 dB(A), and higher kurtosis levels. It is necessary to apply kurtosis to adjust the underestimation of hearing loss and consider the applying condition of noise energy metrics when using the ISO predicting mo…
Developing a guideline for measuring workplace non-Gaussian noise exposure based on kurtosis adjustment of noise level in China
Objective There is no unified standard for measuring workplace non-Gaussian noise (known as complex noise) exposure. This study aimed to develop a draft guideline for measuring workplace non-Gaussian complex noise exposure based on noise temporal structure adjustment. Methods Noise exposure level, e.g., the A-weighted sound pressure level normalized to a nominal 8-h working day (L EX,8h ), was adjusted using the temporal structure (expressed by k…
Evaluation of strategies for the occupational health risk assessment of chemical toxicants in the workplace based on a quantitative analysis model
Objectives: The commonly used methods for the occupational health risk assessment (OHRA) of chemical toxicants cannot fully meet the needs of practical work. This study evaluated OHRA strategies for chemical toxicants in the workplace by establishing a quantitative analysis model. Methods: Five typical industries in China that implement OHRA using the six common models (the Environmental Protection Agency, Australian, Romanian, Singaporean, Inter…
A multiple and comprehensive approach to assess health risk in amalgam-exposed Chinese workers
Fluorescent lamp manufacturing workers have been extensively exposed to mercury (Hg). Our aim was to assess their health risks using several approved occupational health risk assessment methods, and to find out which method was more suitable for identification of occupational health risks. Work locations, and air and urine samples were collected from 530 exposed workers in Zhejiang, China. Based on the calculated exposure doses, health risks and …
Prevalence status and associated factors of wrist postural injury in the Chinese occupational population
Objective: This study investigated the prevalence of wrist injuries in 15 industries and different types of work in China. Study on the associated factors of wrist injuries provides a scientific basis for prevention and treatment of wrist diseases in occupational workers. Methods: A cross-sectional study of musculoskeletal symptoms of related practitioners in 15 industries, including automobile manufacturing, was conducted to retrieve worker demo…
Prevalence and risk factors analysis for low back pain among occupational groups in key industries of China
LBP incidence among key industries and workers in China is high. Thus, it is urgent to take relevant measures according to the individual, occupational, and psychosocial factors of LBP to reduce the adverse impact of LBP on workers' health
Influence of Prolonged Visual Display Terminal Use and Exercise on Physical and Mental Conditions of Internet Staff in Hangzhou, China
To examine the effects of prolonged visual display terminal (VDT) working hours and exercise frequency on VDT-related symptoms, we recruited 944 Chinese internet staff for the study. A self-administered questionnaire survey was used to obtain the hours of daily VDT work, exercise frequency, and the physical and mental health of the participants. The daily VDT working time of participants was 8.7 hours. Musculoskeletal pain and eye complaints were…
