A survey on occupational medicine residency programs across european countries
BACKGROUND: The European Union of Medical Specialists aims at improving post-graduate training in different disciplines developing European Training Requirements (ETRs) that reflect scientific progress. The study assessed the completeness, coherence, and applicability of the current Occupational Medicine (OM) ETR document and identified areas requiring revision and implementation. METHODS: An online survey was conducted among 22 European specialt…
Occupational exposure to total and hexavalent chromium in welders
Introduction: Chromium (Cr), and particularly its hexavalent form is classified as a Group 1 human carcinogen and represents a major occupational hazard, particularly in stainless-steel welding. This exploratory study integrated environmental and biological monitoring to characterize welders' exposure and assessed how analytical methods influence exposure estimates. Methods: Twenty-two welders from two Northern Italian companies and 10 administra…
The impact of the work organization on individuals’ psychological well-being
Introduction This study explored the psychological well-being (PWB) of workers engaged in two distinct occupational settings, the transport and instruction sectors, to understand how different work arrangements (on-site, remote, and hybrid) affect workers’ PWB. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2020 to December 2021, involving employees of a transport company (427), primarily engaged in on-site tasks and University worker…
Safety and sustainability by design
The Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) concept integrates safety and sustainability of chemicals and materials, throughout their entire life cycle and minimizes their environmental footprint. The European Commission (EC) in 2022 developed a framework to practically apply SSbD. This study investigated the knowledge on SSbD and the operationalization of such framework among the partners of the Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemica…
Occupational Exposure Assessment to Antineoplastic Drugs in Nine Italian Hospital Centers over a 5-Year Survey Program
In the present study, surface contamination where antineoplastic drugs (ADs) are present was investigated, as occupational exposure risk is still an open debate. Despite recommendations and safety standard procedures being in place in health care settings, quantifiable levels of ADs are being reported in the recent literature. Thus, a survey monitoring program was conducted over five years (2016-2021) in nine Italian hospitals. The repeated surve…
Validation of the Global Lung Function Initiative 2012 Spirometry Reference Values in a Healthy Italian Working Population
GLI 2012 reference values fit the Italian data satisfactorily, resulting as more accurate than ERS 1993, especially in women, normal-weighted subjects, aged 30-50 years, and for height < 165 cm
HBM4EU Chromates Study
Work-related exposures in industrial processing of chromate (chrome plating, surface treatment and welding) raise concern regarding the health risk of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). In this study, performed under the HBM4EU project, we focused on better understanding the determinants of exposure and recognising how risk management measures (RMMs) contribute to a reduction in exposure. HBM and occupational hygiene data were collected from 399 worke…
Employment Status and Work Ability in Adults with Cystic Fibrosis
Improvements in the survival and clinical outcomes of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients raised questions about their workforce participation and capacity to work. One hundred and ninety-six outpatients, attending the Adult CF Center of an Italian University Hospital, were enrolled between May 2020 and March 2021. The patients' personal and clinical characteristics, employment status, and profession were assessed. The Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Rev…
An Exploratory Assessment of Applying Risk Management Practices to Engineered Nanomaterials
The widespread industrial application of nanotechnology has increased the number of workers exposed to engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), but it is not clear to what extent prevention guidance is practiced. Our aim was to explore the extent that companies manufacturing and/or using ENMs apply risk assessment and management measures. Thirty-four companies were surveyed with an international 35-item questionnaire investigating company and workforce f…
