Noise in hospital wards adversely affects the physiological processes of both patients and staff it is a potential risk for communication breakdowns errors, causing discomfort problems regarding healing patients, as well stress, fatigue, annoyance staff. Several noise sources are present wards, such HVAC systems, alarms, paging, speech, calls, diagnostic equipment, medical devices, so forth. This paper describes two surveys carried out at an Italian Rome to investigate some collect...
The aim of this work is to know how many injuries occur during climbing and pruning arborists other operators who on trees, the type accidents why they happen. This study was carried out period from 2002 2012 using INFORMO, database INAIL (National Organization for Labour Insurance) that contains a list serious fatal occurred workers counted by its Prevention Service. From only related working at least 2 meters above stable ground without elevating platform, have been extracted. In these...
As noise is a pervasive element of work environments, it could affect workers' performance and wellbeing. In particular such as confined spaces, represent an even greater disruptor because reverberation effects amplify exposure levels cognitive abilities. The study the has mixed results in literature was scarcely investigated with reference to this application scenario. Nowadays, Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) can simulate realistic way working conditions these environments consequently...
We have investigated about the heat stress of workers in vegetable greenhouses located southern Italy. This type production technique is very widespread region and so useful search evaluation model that can better describe condition risk. on WBGT index PHS order to check which two models more functional applicable specific context. The research allowed bringing out lights shadows predictive models. In first place, we verified that, although there a vertical gradient temperature, sufficient...
Psychoacoustic parameters, being closely related to sound perception, are usually applied in product quality and, recently, also environmental soundscape analysis or at workplace, investigate its potential describing acoustic comfort. Lexicons of descriptive words perceptual attributes available literature, but the language is often a crucial issue, translation not always easy keep original meaning. This paper describes two different preliminary experiments dealing with such Italian and...
Almost 460 million world people live with moderate to severe hearing loss (HL), noise the most common cause, particularly in workplace. Noise-induced HL is still one of prevalent recognized occupational diseases, but Italy, it no longer at first ranks, thanks technical and organizational solutions adopted reduce work environment after 2008. In particular, Italian surveillance system data show that Construction sector which present (28% cases), followed by Manufacture (17%). can compromise...
