During the last years, a significant technological and organisational evolution is taking place in industrial activities, thanks to Advanced Manufacturing together with more widespread use of Cloud Big Data Analytics. With special reference OS&H (Occupational Safety Health), these changes involve new attention, both employee's level. The paper discusses characteristics, possible original methodology, based on virtual reality digital checklist. This methodology can be used easily carry...
Abstract Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of being infected with SARS-CoV-2, yet limited information is available on factors infection. We pooled data occupational surveillance 10,654 HCW who were tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection in six Italian centers. Information was demographics, job title, department employment, source exposure, use personal protective equipment (PPEs), and COVID-19-related symptoms. fitted multivariable logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios...
This study aimed to evaluate the association between personal and job characteristics risk of upper limb work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among operating room nurses (ORNs). To this end, we collected data from 148 ORNs working at 8 Italian hospitals measured any disabilities experienced in previous year using version arm, shoulder hand (DASH) questionnaire. The associations WMSDs were estimated by unconditional logistic regression models. prevalence was 45.9%. Multivariate...
Backgroud: Since the beginning of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, healthcare workers (HCWs) have been most likely to contract disease. Intensive focus is therefore needed on hospital strategies that minimize exposure and diffusion, confer protection facilitate early detection isolation infected personnel. Methods: To evaluate impact a structured risk-management for exposed COVID-19 HCWs describe how their characteristics contributed infection diffusion. Socio-demographic...

The research aimed to investigate the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections and their determinants in a large European cohort more than 60,000 health workers.A multicentric retrospective study, involving 12 centers, was carried out within ORCHESTRA project, collecting data up 18 November 2021 on fully vaccinated workers. cumulative investigated with its association occupational social-demographic characteristics (age, sex, job title, previous infection, antibody titer levels, time...
SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections (BI) after vaccine booster dose are a relevant public health issue.Multicentric longitudinal cohort study within the ORCHESTRA project, involving 63,516 workers (HW) from 14 European settings. The investigated cumulative incidence of BI and its correlation with age, sex, job title, previous infection, time since third dose.13,093 (20.6%) were observed. was higher in women HW aged < 50 years, but nearly halved 60 years. Nurses experienced highest incidence,...
Abstract AI technologies are rapidly advancing and have shown potential for providing significant value across a variety of sectors, including healthcare. Much research has focused on the technologies’ capabilities pushing their boundaries, with many envisioning AI-enabled robots replacing human labor humans in near future. However, critical domains professional practice such as healthcare, full replacement is neither realistic nor aimed for, collaboration between given foreseeable This...
Healthcare systems are confronted with a multitude of challenges, including the imperative to enhance accessibility, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and quality healthcare delivery. These challenges exacerbated by current personnel shortages, prospects future shortfalls, insufficient recruitment efforts, increasing prevalence chronic diseases, global viral concerns, ageing populations. To address this escalating demand for services, increasingly adopting robotic technology artificial...
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus, primarily transmitted through droplets, able to persist on different surfaces and in the air for several hours. During COVID-19 pandemic, Health Care Workers should be considered high risk profession. Beside social distancing rules proper use of Personal Protective Equipment, sanitization measures ventilation system disinfection are essential reduce viral transmission. This first Italian study aiming assess magnitude...
Background: Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, widespread use Respiratory Protective Devices (RPD) is recommended to prevent spread infection. This recommendation involves not only healthcare workers but other category and general population as well, in public places, especially where social distancing difficult maintain. The facemasks should cause physical impairment individuals, for people suffering from lung heart diseases. Objectives: To evaluate impact RPDs on respiratory function...
Health care workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV). The most effective prevention measure is vaccination, with a serum surface antibody (HBsAb) titre >10 mIU/ml considered protective. To date, the sociodemographic and occupational characteristics related HBV serosusceptibility factors associated booster hesitancy remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed identify maintaining protective HBsAb in large sample HCWs evaluate potentially towards vaccine...
Objective. To update the analysis of mortality a cohort dyestuff workers, in Northern Italy, heavily exposed to carcinogenic aromatic amines. Methods. We updated 2018 overall and cause-specific 590 male workers amines factory from 1922 1972. Workers were censored at age 85. Expected cases for period 1946-2018 computed using Piedmont rates standardized ratios (SMR) computed. Results. Between 1946 2018, 470 deaths reported. The SMR was 1.59 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.45-1.74) all cancers...
Late effects of cancer and its treatments during childhood or adolescence can impact work placement increase the risk unemployment. The aim this study is to describe perceived job economic satisfaction long-term survivors (CCS). Jobs have been categorized according International Standard Classification Occupations version 08 (ISCO-08), has evaluated through Satisfaction Profile (SAT-P). Out 240 CCS (female = 98) included: 53 were students, 46 unemployed 141 employed. Within survivors, 89.13%...
Background: Health care workers (HCWs) were on the frontline of current pandemic. We aimed at identifying determinants SARS-CoV-2 infection and effectiveness personal protection equipment (PPE) worn by HCWs before vaccination. Methods: abstracted data based positive PCR results sociodemographic characteristics 38,793 from public hospitals health authorities 10 European centers. fitted cohort-specific multivariate logistic regression models to identify combined using random-effects...
