Conclusions of this criteria document: animal experiments show that 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) presents a low level of acute inhalation toxicity; long-term exposures at concentrations of 50,000ppm were tolerated with minimal signs of toxicity; at that level, HFC-245fa demonstrated no developmental effects. In genetic testing, HFC-245fa was not mutagenic in bacteria, although it induced some chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes; no micronuclei were found in mice exposed to 100,000ppm. These data suggest that HFC-245fa does not represent a significant carcinogenic hazard. To date, no adverse effects have been reported in humans. (103120)

Conclusions of this criteria document: the present state of the knowledge indicates that the significance of endocrine active chemicals has been overrated. The concentrations of these substances are less in magnitude than those of endogenous oestrogens. It can be assumed that in the case of exposure to several chemicals, the effects are additive. Phyto-oestrogens can be consumed in very large amounts via human food intake, resulting in high plasma concentrations which can explain the lengthening of the menstrual cycle. However, there are no evident negative effects of such diets. Epidemiological studies need to be done to confirm the decrease in sperm count and the increase in the incidence of testicular and breast cancer that have been associated with endocrine active substances.

This guide was developed as part of a training programme for small to medium enterprises who wish to obtain cost savings through the improved management of chemicals. It describes a step-by-step approach to identify and reduce costs and risks related to the use of chemicals. A first step consists of identifying "hot spots" or critical issues with respect to inefficiency or hazards. A second step involves making an inventory of the chemicals used in the enterprise. The two steps provide the necessary information to calculate potential loses, assess risks, consider substitutes, determine improvements and controls, and monitor and evaluate the results obtained. Part III contains useful tools: basic concepts for risk assessment; description of control approaches; guide to the use of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs); list of R- and S-phrases; symbols used for labelling; glossary of terms.

CIS 04-39 A study of the relationship between occupational injuries and firm size and type in the Italian industry. Fabiano B., Currò F., Pastorino R., Safety Science, Aug. 2004, Vol.42, No.7, p.587-600. Illus. 30 ref. (In English)

Internet:
http://www.ilo.org/intranet/english/protection/safework/cis/database/orig/2004/04-0039.pdf

This article offers a perspective on the relationship between accident frequency and number of employees in the Italian industries between 1995 and 2000. The number of firms examined is 2,983,753 with a total number of non-fatal and fatal injuries corresponding to 3,321,960. A statistically significant inverse relationship between firm size and the number of days lost due to injuries was found in all industrial sectors. Non-severe accidents constitute 95.85% of the total injuries. The frequency rates for both accidents involving permanent disability and fatal accidents decrease as the firm size increases. The results are consistent with decreased availability of occupational safety services in small companies and suggest the need of auditing, safety training activities, education and information, as well as of support to safety investments targeted to small-sized industries.

Promotional and marketing strategies can be effective tools for raising and maintaining the profile of occupational health and safety (OHS) within an organization. It is important to maximize the impact of health and safety promotions, and to ensure a consistent, desired message is conveyed. When developing OHS promotional campaigns, consideration should be given to identifying the target audience and the objective of the campaign. The aim is to keep employees focused in a positive and proactive way. Effective communication brings together people, processes, and systems. The challenge is to promote health and safety throughout all levels of the organization, and to find effective strategies such as published materials, displays, media, training and the Internet, to gain management commitment and employee involvement in the decision-making and problem-solving processes which are essential for achieving a positive safety culture. The benefits can go well beyond lowering the lost time injury rate, and can include economic and social gains. (103043)

This article highlights the importance of occupational safety and health for small enterprises, where the disruptive effects of occupational accidents are considerably greater than for large enterprises. It goes on to discuss the means of increasing the awareness of directors. These means are derived from two sources: on one hand from the theoretical concepts from marketing and psycho-sociology, and on the other from the practical experience gathered by persons responsible for occupational safety and health during their activities as trainers. Finally, the possibilities of implementing an approach aimed at influencing the attitudes of directors are discussed, based on a methodology developed by INRS. (103065)

The International Chemical Workers Union Council (ICWUC) Center for Worker Health and Safety Education trains workers to protect themselves from hazards due to chemical exposures. This study evaluated whether the ICWUC Training Program affects the attitudes and activities of union workers. 55 workers were interviewed prior to and 14-18 months following training with the help of a detailed questionnaire. Questions concerned trainees' interest and involvement in safety and health, use of information resources, training activities at their worksite, and their attempts and successes at making worksite improvements. Post-training, the study population showed an increased propensity for training other workers, using resources and attempting improvements, with a higher success rate in achieving these improvements.

http://www.ilo.org/intranet/english/protection/safework/cis/database/orig/2004/04-0044.pdf

Comparison of workplace injury statistics among countries is often problematic, mainly because work injury statistics are based on different national recording and notification systems. In this study, definitions of fatal work-related injuries, methods of identification of reference populations, and rates of fatal work-related injuries, from 1995 to 1998, were compared between the European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) and the United States Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). Similar definitions for workplace fatalities were found, but CFOI is based on an active search and ESAW on notification. CFOI is likely to be more comprehensive than ESAW. It is conceivable that the true number of fatal occupational injuries in the European Union could be higher, and the apparent difference in U.S. and E.U. fatal injury rates may be an artifact of the different recording systems.

The ILO is set to adopt in 2005 a consolidated maritime labour convention. The preparation of the draft progresses through a series of meetings and conferences. More than 60 maritime Conventions and Recommendations applying to the shipping industry are to be merged with the necessary updating into a current instrument. Medical-related subjects which will be prominent in this new instrument include medical certificates, fitness of seafarers, medical care, health and safety, food, and welfare. Other features of this new instrument are its rights-based approach, the simplified amendment procedure and its improved enforcement. This set of documents comprising the recommended draft for a Convention on maritime labour standards, the commentary to the draft, and a guide consists of the documentation submitted as a basis for discussion at the Preparatory Technical Maritime Conference to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, 12-24 September 2004.

The German Law on Equipment Safety (CIS 90-391) is an essential element of product-related hazard protection. It specifies that all products due to be commercialized meet certain safety requirements. Controls carried out by the enforcing authorities at the Land level show that in practice, safety levels are not always satisfactory. This study reviews product deficiencies based on notifications submitted to the German Federal Occupational Safety and Health Institute between 1995 and 1999, as well as prohibition decisions published between 1993 and 1999. In particular, it examines the number of defective products each year between 1993 and 1999, the type of defect, the type of defective product or product group, the country of origin of the defective products, the targeted users of the products, the recipient of the prohibition decision (manufacturer, importer, retailer, exhibitor) and the types of hazards related to the defective products.

On the basis of representative surveys conducted in Germany, this research report analyses the prevalence of job stain and health problems among employees, with an emphasis on flexible forms of work (temporary work, predefined duration employment, shift work, night work, weekend work). Based on an empirical approach, the report first compares workers' physical and psychological loads during the years 1985/1986 with those of the years 1998/1999, then briefly describes trends in flexible work methods. Finally, with the help of bivariate and multivariate methods, it analyses the influence of flexible forms of work on workers' health problems. (103166)

Malay translation of the ILO guidelines (see CIS 02-162), which call for coherent policies to protect workers from occupational hazards. They present practical approaches and tools for assisting organizations, competent national institutions, employers, workers and other partners in establishing, implementing and improving occupational safety and health management systems, with the aim of reducing work-related injuries, ill health, diseases, incidents and deaths. At the national level, the guidelines provide for the establishment of a national framework for occupational safety and health (OSH) management systems, preferably supported by national laws and regulations. They also provide precise information on developing voluntary arrangements to strengthen compliance with regulations and standards, which, in turn, lead to continual improvement of OSH performance. At the organizational level, the guidelines encourage the integration of OSH management system elements as an important component of overall policy and management arrangements. (103045)

This report presents the findings of an evaluation of a pilot Small Firms Allowance Scheme (SFAS) that was launched by HSE in August 2002 and completed its activities in December 2003. The purpose of the pilot scheme was to test the feasibility and optimal design of a grant scheme directed to small businesses aimed at helping improve their management of occupational safety and health. 1100 micro firms had undertaken mentoring and training under the scheme. The evaluation concludes that further investigations are required to better define the target firms prior to launching the scheme at a national level. (103097)
