A global survey of occupational health competencies and curriculum
The World Health Organization has identified a worldwide shortage of occupational health professionals. Evidence suggests that the work and education of these professionals vary across countries. This survey examined the professional development of occupational physicians, occupational nurses, industrial hygienists, and ergonomists in terms of practice competencies and academic curriculum. Of 89 countries that received the survey, 48 responded. Important differences in competencies and curricula were identified for all groups. The study provides a reference point for discussion and development of competencies and curriculum.

Secondary individual prevention of hand dermatitis in geriatric nurses
The incidence of hand dermatitis in geriatric nurses is increasing in Germany. A prospective controlled study of a secondary individual prevention (SIP) programme for hand dermatitis was conducted, involving information and training on the proper use of gloves and barrier creams. 209 geriatric nurses with a medical history of hand dermatitis completed questionnaires prior to the start of the programme and three months after its conclusion, including 102 who participated in the SIP and 107 controls who were not offered the programme. Upon completion of the study, 59% of SIP participants were free of hand eczema. Questionnaires three months after study completion revealed skin lesions in 53% of participants and 82% of the controls. There was a significant improvement in the epidermal barrier among programme participants. It is concluded that SIP is effective in preventing hand eczema.

Computer based safety training: An investigation of methods
Three versions of a computer based respirator training module were presented to manufacturing workers: one consisting of text only; one with text, pictures and animation; and one with text, narration, pictures, and animation. Participants receiving the concurrent narration with pictures and animation scored significantly higher on the transfer test than did workers receiving the other two types of instruction. It is concluded that narration with pictures and text may be a more effective method for training workers about safety than other popular methods of computer based training.

Enhancing chemical risk control for reducing exposure in the workplace through advanced risk messaging techniques
Report of a pilot study into the use of an interactive computer-based simulation game called ARM (Advanced Risk Messenger) which provides spray painters in the motor repair industry with information about their working conditions and the effects on their health. This game allows players to search for information and to manipulate their working environment to see what the effects are. The hazard explored in this study was the risk of asthma through exposure to isocyanates. In the game setting, asthma could be avoided by choosing the full-face air supplied respirator for breathing protection, a ventilated spray booth and training. The ARM programme could provide a valuable research tool for investigating how a person responds to a message and whether they intend to change their behaviour.

Measuring the effectiveness of competency-based education and training programmes in changing the manual handling behaviour of healthcare staff
This study aimed to measure the impact of competency-based training on the manual handling behaviour of health care staff. Sixteen health care organizations representing both acute and primary care participated in the study. A questionnaire was developed to measure the level of compliance with the training recommendations at each participating organization. Four members of staff were also recruited at each organization and asked to perform the following patient handling tasks: sitting-to-standing transfer; repositioning in sitting; lying-to-lying transfer. Postural data were recorded and participants were interviewed. Results showed that there was a wide variation in the level of compliance. In general, a high level of compliance was found in organizations where staff had better problem-solving abilities, possibly due to higher levels of supervision and support in the workplace.
