Do blue collars protect working women ?
Because the number of women employed in traditionally male blue-collar jobs is increasing, a survey was made to determine the availability of protective clothing and equipment based on womens' specifications. Clothing, hearing protection devices, respirators, foot and eye protection and gloves were evaluated. The unique needs of women with regard to design, safety, comfort and fit are not yet being met by manufacturers.

The protection of loggers' heads and eyes in forestry work
Questionnaires, interviews, observations, accident and near-accident reports, and user and laboratory tests were used to investigate the frequency of the use and protection afforded by the helmet and eye protector in forestry work, and possible improvements. 88% of loggers always used a helmet and 32% an eye protector, in spite of their being compulsory in Finland, 8-15% of logging accidents cause eye injuries. The helmet was too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Design defects of eye protectors, which partly accounted for their low rate of use, were: they become frosted in winter; visibility is poor in the rain or the dark; they cause glare in sunshine. Improvements in the design of helmets and eye protectors are suggested.

Personal safety equipment and rescuing in disabling occupational accidents
A sample of accidents in which 410 workers suffered disabling injuries was analysed to determine to what extent serious injury could be reduced by the use of personal safety equipment and to what extent more efficient care could limit the extent and severity of injuries. About 25% of the injured workers could have been protected by the use of helmets, safety belts, protective shoes, glasses or other equipment. Better preparation for rescue could also decrease the number of disabled workers.

Study of the health effects of the welding arc under present industrial conditions
Gigieničeskaja ocenka izlučenija svaročnoj dugi v uslovijah sovremennogo proizvodstva [en ruso]
The UV and IR components of welding arc emissions were measured and their dependence on the welding current, presence of shielding gases and composition of the metals being welded was determined. Maximum infrared emissions (3500W/m²) were 100-fold greater than ultraviolet emissions. Time studies have shown that welders can be exposed to arc radiation for as much as half of a shift, although the arc may be active for only a few seconds at a time. Although protective clothing blocks shorter-wavelength light, the absorbed energy can be reradiated at infrared wavelengths, which makes the clothing a secondary radiation source. The effects of heat build-up can be minimised by using screens as the primary means of blocking radiation from the arc, and by limiting periods of continuous exposure. Not only welders, but all persons in the vicinity of a welding arc must make use of protective equipment.

GROT, a personal cooling device
Individual'nyj pnevmatičeskij kondicioner GROT [en ruso]
An air-cooled vest for use in hot workplaces such as deep mines is described. The device is designed for workers expending energy at rates of 10.5-42kJ/min at environmental temperatures of 40°C and relative humidities of 100%. The worker's chest is cooled by perforated plastic panels held in place by straps. The panels are fed with cooled (25°C) dehumidified air from a miniature refrigeration unit hung from the waist. Air and power are both supplied by the compressed-air system of the mine: part of the incoming compressed air (0.4-0.6MPa) is expanded in a heat exchanger to produce cold, while the remainder of the air is passed over the heat exchanger and on to the vest. The refrigeration pack is small enough to fit in a standard battery case; it is connected to the mine's compressed air system by a hose with quick-disconnect fittings. The refrigeration pack weighs 1kg, the vest 0.8kg. A worker fitted with the vest was able to sustain work of moderate effort for 220min at 35-36° and 98-100% relative humidity; a control subject without the vest could tolerate only 80min.

Protecting workers who clean up hazardous waste sites
Following a fire and explosion among 40,000 drums of unlabelled chemical waste at a dump site, air sampling and personal sampling were used to determine exposure levels of male clean-up workers. Workers monitored included manual drum handlers, heavy equipment operators, other equipment operators and technicians assisting with personal protective equipment. Chemicals of concern included: organic vapours, metals, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, cyanide compounds and dioxins. No excessive exposure to chemical substances by inhalation was found, but continuous use of respiratory protective equipment and other personal protective devices was necessary because of frequent drum ruptures.

Work in contact with pentachlorophenol
Trabalho em contato com pentaclorofenol [en portugués]
Case study of 17 workers in a pentachlorophenol plant; detailed medical data on 10 are presented. The skin lesions and other symptoms were typical effects of pentachlorophenol. The masks, goggles and boots worn by the workers were apparently inadequate to prevent exposure; by providing places close to the body where pentachlorophenol could accumulate, they may even have aggravated the problem. Contrary to published information, the skin lesions did not disappear when the workers were removed from exposure. Disfigurement was severe enough in some cases to produce psychological effects. It is recommended that collective, rather than personal, protection be emphasised (containment of pentachlorophenol at all stages of processing and use), that medical surveillance be increased, that appropriate medical treatment (including restorative surgery) be applied, and that counselling services be made freely available.

Headache caused by explosives
Cefaléia causada por explosivos [en portugués]
Three blaster's helpers reported to company physicians within less than 2 months of hiring, all complaining of headache. As no organic cause could be found, the headache was attributed to nitroglycerine exposure: all 3 patients routinely handled dynamite, and had not experienced headaches before taking on their new jobs. The failure of the overalls and gloves worn by the workers to prevent exposure indicates that replacement of dynamite with non-nitroglycerine explosives is the best method of prevention. If replacement is not technically feasible, use of protective garments which can be rinsed off constantly offers improved protection.

The effects of protective equipment on styrene exposure in workers in the reinforced plastics industry
Serial measurements of the biologic indicators of styrene exposure were made on 8 female workers during 4 consecutive days using the experimental conditions: gloves and protective clothing only; respirator only; gloves, protective clothing and respirator; no clothing or respirator protection. A factorial analysis of the two types of protection showed that levels of styrene in venous blood and expired breath and urine mandelic and phenylglyoxylic acid excretion were no different when gloves/clothes were used as protection compared to no protection. Significant reduction in all biologic indices occurred when respiratory protection was used. Cutaneous absorption of styrene is not a significant exposure source and does not contribute to the body burden of styrene. Respiratory protective devices are the most effective means for reducing styrene absorption. Skin protection is required because of the risk of dermatitis.

Special types of personal protective equipment for handling hazardous chemicals
Besondere persönliche Schutzmittel bei Handhabung gefährlicher Chemikalien [en alemán]
This review makes a distinction between light (for chemicals in free state) and heavy protection (chemicals under pressure): rubber apron and gloves in the first case; overalls with plastic hood in the second, with (in both cases) helmet, face shield and boots. Considerations and protection against dust (light overalls of paper or vinyl, with dust mask and cap), respiratory protection (air-purifying filter respirators, supplied-air respirators) and protection against heat. Advice is given in each case for the choice and use of equipment according to the hazard involved.
