OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
Aims at:
-promotion and maintenance
prevention amongst workers of departures from health caused by their working
conditions
-protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factoris
adverse to health
-placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational

WORLD OF WORK:

WHY DO PEOPLE WORK

-hierarchy of needs
-self-fulfillment

WHAT IS DECENT WORK

4PILLARS:
-employment creation
-rights at work
-social dialogue
-social protection

WHAT DETERMINES WORKERS HEALTH?

- WORKING ENVIRONMENT (mechanical, physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic,
psychosocial risks)
- SOCIAL FACTORS (occupational status, employment conditions, income, inequities in
gender, race, age, residence, etc)
-WORK-RELATED HEALTH PRACTICES (individual risk-taking behavior, physical exercise,
sedentary work, diet, nutrition, unhealthy habits like smoking and alcohol)
-ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES (preventive occupational health services, specialized
curative care and rehabilitation, health and accident insurance)

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH HAZARDS:

-chemical, physical, ergonimic, biologic, psychosocial/mental health

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS IN OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH

HEALTH HAZARDS - working conditions wc result in an illness; exposure to dangerous
substances or conditions such as chemicals gases, dusts, noise, etc, latency
between exposure and disease--like hearing loss; buildup of destruction of kidneys
when exposedd to lead and other chemicals
SAFETY HAZARDS: result to an injury (nondisabling, disabling, fatal(; injury is
IMMEDIATE, secondary to an unsafe act or unsafe condition (fire, electrical,
environment)

HAZARD AND RISK

Hazard - source of potential damage, harm, or adverse health effects on something
or someone
RISK-chance/probability/likelihood that a person will be harmed or experience an
adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard

RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS:

1. Identify the hazards
2. Assesss the risks and available control measures
3. Manage the risk - control the risks thru implementation of appropriate control
measures, MONITOR the controls to evaluate their effectiveness, communication of
risks and controls

MOST IMPT STEP IN ANY RISK ASSESSMENT - IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS:

hazards can only be controlled if they are identifies

WHY IS PPE THE LAST -

FACTORS THAT DETERMINE THE DISEASE DEVELOPMENT:

- workplace factos
-individual susceptibility
WHO GETS SICK?
HOST FACTORS: age, health habits, reproductive status, medical history
DOSE: duration of exposure, concentration of agent, route of exposure, workplace
control measures, personal hygiene

OCCUPATIONAL CONDTIONS ARE PREVENTABLE

EFFECTIVE SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAMS - reduces the extent and severity of work-
related injuries and illnesses, improves employee moreale nad productivity, reduces
worker's compensation costs

CHEMICAL HAZARDS:
-potentially toxic or irritaing to the body
-toluene-based chemical, paints, varnish
-gases

BASIC TOXICOLOGY TERMINOLOGY

TOXICITY - intrinsic capacity of a chemical agent to affect an organism adversely
TOXIC SUBSTANCE - agent that causes toxicity
*with proper handlisng, even highly toic chemicals can be used safely
*less toxic chemicals can be extremely hazardous if handled improperly
*toxic agent becomes hazardous when there is potential for worker exposure
TOXICITY X EXPOSURE = HAZARD

RISK - probability or likelihood that adverse effects will occur when a living
organism is exposed to a toxic agent
WHAT DETERMINES RISK? - respose fo the host, physical properties of the toxic
aggen, dose or concentration of toxin which includes the amount of the substance,
duration of exposure, and frequency of exposure, SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS - combination
of different elements or materials

CONCEPTS IN TOXICOLOGY:
DOSE: amt of substance absorbed inside the body (# doses, frequency, total time
period of the exposure)
DOSE-RESPONSE: correlates exposures and the spectrum of induced effects; based on
observed data, the higher the dose, the more severe the response

LOCAL TOXICITY VS SYSTEMIC TOXICITY

LOCAL: Occurs at the site of chemical contact; contact with acid creating chemical
burn; ozone expo

3 MAIN APPROACHES:
1 GOOD OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE - wear appropriate protectice clothing; appropriate
ventilation mechanisms; adequate space requirement; good housekeeping, control
other hazrds, access to sanitation facilities

2 GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE

3 GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE

ERGONOMICS "Fitting the task to the person"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learnings:
1. Determinants of workers health which are the working environment, social
factors, work-related health practices, and access to health services

2 we were able to learn the difference between health hazards and safety hazards
HEALTH HAZARDS - working conditions wc result in an illness; exposure to dangerous
substances or conditions such as chemicals gases, dusts, noise, etc, latency
between exposure and disease--like hearing loss; buildup of destruction of kidneys
when exposedd to lead and other chemicals
SAFETY HAZARDS: result to an injury (nondisabling, disabling, fatal(; injury is
IMMEDIATE, secondary to an unsafe act or unsafe condition

3Difference between hazard and risk

Hazard - source of potential damage, harm, or adverse health effects on something
or someone (ex
RISK-chance/probability/likelihood that a person will be harmed or experience an
adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard (ex. risk of developing lung cancer
from exposure to asbestos, risk of suffering from hearing loss when working in a
noisy workplace)

4 Risk Assessment Process:

- Identify the hazards (the most impt step), assess the risks and available control
measures, and manage the risk

5 With effective safety and health programs, it reduces the extent and severity of
work related injuries and illnesses, it improves employee morale and productivity,
reduces worker's compensation costs

6 Difference workplace hazards

Chemical
Biological
Ergonomic (repetitive/prolonged activies, awkward positions, improper lifting,
forceful exertions)
BASELINE AUDIOMETRY// FOR NOISE - frequency depends on how you control the noise;
minimum is once a year; ff up WEM (Work Environment Measurement) when to refer
worker? after a day's work; may rest

7 Controlling the risks (3 main approaches)

-Good occupational hygiene (wearing appropriate protective clothing to stop
personal contamination, appropriate ventilation mechanisms, adequate space
requirement to avoid congestion, good housekeeping,)
-Good environmental hygiene (ensure safe and clean water systems, air conditioning,
proper waste disposal, control pests within the workplace)
-Good personal hygiene (proper handwashing, changing to clean street clothes before
heading for home, regular replacement of PPE)

------------------------------------------
OCCUPATIONAL SKIN DISEASE (DR. VENUS CU)

--------------------------------------
LEARNINGS

1. OCCUPATIONAL SKIN DISEASES

Irritant, allergic, and airborne contact dermatitis
factors that affect severity of contact dermatitis:
- characteristics of hazardous agent, concentration, duration nad frequency f
exposure to hazardous agent, environmental factors, condition of skin
- Mathias criteria of occupational causation of contact derm
PREVENTION? - includes primary prevention, creating measures targeted at changing
work environent (elimination or sobstition) and targeted at exposed workers(pre-
placement exams, ppe)

2. OCCUPATIONAL HEARING LOSS AND AUDIOMETRY

Audiometry - measurement of hearing capability
- purpose: determine if hearing impairment is actual; to find the cause, degree,
and locality of the hearing defect, measure the ability to perceive the frequencies
and intensity of normal speech
HEARING LOSS:
- total partial
- unilateral or bilateral
- sudden or gradual
- conductive, sensorineural, or mixed
Hearing Evaluation
- Simple tests (voice, finger or ball pen click)
- Otoscopy (first best step in diagnosis of hearing loss)
- Tuning fork test (Weber's and Rinnes) to determine conductive HL or sensorineural
HL
- Pure Tone audiograms (hearing frequency is plotted vs hearing threshold)
- Speech test
- Acoustic reflex test
- Stenger's test (for malingerers, in unilateral HL
- Impedance audiometry
`

3. REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ISSUES IN HTE WORKPLACE

Workplace hazards can lead to reproductive health issues like stilbirth, erectile
dysfunction, miscarriage, problems in the menstrual cycle, reduced fertility or
infertility\
- How? (chemicals - breathing in, coming in contact with skin, hand to mouth)
- other exposures (radiation, loud noise, long working hours, lifing, bending,
standing)
3 general categories of reproductive hazardsL
1. physical (radiation, electrical shock, excessive vibration or heat working
conditions)
2. biological factors (viruses, parasites)
3. Toxic agents (ingestion, inhalation, or contact with skin)
*Physical demands (lifting heavy objects, standing for long periods of time,
repeated bending at waist)

4. MANAGING STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE

RA 11036: THE PHILIPPINE MENTAL HEALTH LAW
- SEC 25: Mental health promotion and policies in the workplace
- sec 35: Duties and responsibilities of DOLE and CSC (Civil service commission) -
develop guidelines and standards on appropriate and evidence-based mental health
programs
- develop policies the promote mental health in the workplace
DEPARTMENT ORDER 208: Guidelines for implementation of mental health workplace
policies and programs for the private sector (Mental Health Workplace Policy and
Program)

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS:

1. Work Content -- Workload (Excessive workload, insufficient work).; Lack of
participation and control (inability to participate in decision-making); Job
content (monotonous tasks, unpleasant tasks, aversive tasks)
2. Work Context - Role in organization (role ambiguity/conflict), Lack of reward,
inqdequate social support, inequity (lack of fairness

WORK RELATED STRESS - Pattern of physiological, cognitive, and behavioral reaction

to some extremently taxin aspects of work content, work organization, and work
environment
BURNOUT - syndrome resultig from chronic workplace stress that has not been
successfully managed

5. OCCUPATIONAL CANCER -- iarc (intl agency research for cancer)

Different substances present in the workplace that can cause cancer
3-6% of all cancers caused by exposures to carcinogens in the workplace
Carcinogens according to exposure (occupational, dietary, medicines, habits/hobies,
water, air, soil pollutants) INHALATION - MOST COMMON
Accdg to specific routes of exposure (cutaneous, respiratory, ingestive, parental,
transplacental)
Accdg to specific action mechanisms (site of primary contact, site of selective
deposition, organs with special functional or toxic affinity for carcinogens,
organs of excretion of carcinogens, functional abnormalities due to dietary
deficiencies or allergenic reactivities)

Most effective way to limit exposure is to ELIMINATE THE CARCINOGEN FROM THE
WORKPLACE
- Elimination and Substitution
-complete removal of substance, conversion to less carcinogenic forms, select
possible substitutes for carcinogens
1. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING-DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF EXPOSURE; MONITORING USING
INSTRUMENTS
2. BIOLOGIC MONITORING - DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF EXPOSURE; MONITORING USING BODY
FLUIDS; CONTAMINANTS
3. MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE - DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF EXPOSURE

6. SICKNESS ABSENCE CONTROL

Classification of absenteeism
Absenteeism can cause productivity loss
Causes:
Incapacity, Personal reasons (disability, pregnancy, marriage, lack of skills,
unsatisfied with work)
Factors affecting sickness absence

7. the PHYSICIAN EXECUTIVE

As Administrator, Occupational Health Advocae, Clinician, Risk Manager, Researcher,
Effective communicator
---------------------------------------------------------
OSH POLICY FORMULATION AND WRITING
Highlights of RA 9165
• Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) was
created as the policy-making &
coordinating arm of the government in
matters related to dangerous drugs with
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency
(PDEA) as the implementing arm.
• The Department of Health (DOH) shall
accredit & monitor drug-testing
laboratories to safeguard the quality of
the tests.

----------------------------
INDIVIDUAL RE-ENTRY PLAN
1. Plan Activity in the next 1-3 months
To create a nutrition program in adherence to OHS legislation Rule 1960, Provision
1966.2 that promotes and encourages proper nutrition practices in the workplace.

Most of the workers that come to the clinic (BPO Company) are either overweight or
obese and has existing co-morbidities such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
Unfortunately, the food kiosks/restaurants surrounding the offices serve food that
are high in salt, fat, and sugar. If there are no programs being implemented,
workers are at risk of suffering from hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
