The company health report helps to locate missing information
Betrieblicher Gesundheitsbericht hilft Defizite abbauen [in German]
The company health report is compiled by insurance institutions for one company or an entire industrial branch from notifications of occupational diseases. It provides information on age, sex, work and position of the company's employees, on company health programmes, and on the incidence and type of diseases of all employees and certain groups of employees, as compared with other companies. A sample report is presented. It was prepared for a fictitious company supplying parts to the automobile industry.

Prevention of silicosis risk. Data supplied by the COLCHIC chemical exposure data base
Prévention du risque silicotique - Informations fournies par la base de données COLCHIC [in French]
The French National Safety Research Institute (INRS) and French regional health insurance funds are mandated to monitor air contamination in the workplace by the sampling of workplace air and of substances used. The data obtained are stored in a database called COLCHIC. An examination of data on silica shows that in about half of the workplaces sampled for silica the mean exposure levels exceed the permitted levels, often significantly. It is suggested that this database is a useful source of information for all French workplaces insofar as silicosis risk is concerned.

Setting up a microcomputer in a small occupational health department
The cost of microcomputers has fallen dramatically in recent years with the result that many small Occupational Health (OH) departments have turned to computerisation. Occupational Health physicians with little if any previous computing experience may be called upon to oversee the introduction of a computer into an OH department and subsequently make decisions concerning equipment purchases. This article discusses the necessary hardware and software which would allow the development of a powerful and worthwhile OH computer system for a modest outlay.

An interdisciplinary approach to an occupational hygiene information system
In a comprehensive occupational hygiene monitoring programme personal and static sampling data must be related to jobs, task and work practices, so that data concerning employee actions and plant operations are necessary. Medical and toxicological information and data on the reliability of control influence sampling protocols and must be part of such a system. Similarly, in a complete occupational health information system occupational hygiene surveillance data are crucial in relation to occupational medical findings. Because of these complex inter-relationships, and the need for compliance with the extensive analysis and adequate reporting provisions of the new Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, all but the smallest British firms are increasingly regarding a computer-based occupational health surveillance system as a necessity. This paper will explain major data sources, relationships, analysis and reports in a comprehensive occupational health surveillance system, and how such a system is most effectively adapted to the new user and implemented by him.

An industrial noise levels database
A data base of industrial noise levels has been developed and made available through an online system and on compact disc. The contents are compiled from the data reported in journals, health and safety reports, and industrial hygiene surveys made by industries, government agencies and independent institutions. Along with measured noise level data, information on engineering controls and use of ear protection is included whenever such data are available. The objective of the data base is to facilitate sharing of information on noise levels among those concerned with workplace health and safety.

The HSE National Exposure Database - (NEDB)
This national database enables the storage and selective retrieval of occupational hygiene data. The exposure data currently held are limited to those obtained from inspections and investigations carried out by HSE specialist inspectors. Discussion is under way with industry on how the database can be extended to include validated data provided by industry so as to provide a focal point for exposure data in the UK. The paper describes the structure of the database, the types of information input to it and the information which can be obtained from it.

The characterisation of risk agents - A methodological proposal for the collection, processing and organisation of information
La caratterizzazione degli agenti di rischio - Proposta metodologica per la raccolta, l'organizzazione e l'elaborazione delle informazioni [in Italian]
The continuous proliferation of information systems used to characterise risk agents has led to a production of documents which are often different in approach though similar in content. In an attempt to rationalise the various problems involved, a method is proposed for the collection, processing and organisation of the information that will best define the profile of risk agents. A global framework is envisaged within which the information is arranged according to not only technical and scientific but also logical criteria; the information can then be extracted in various aggregates according to requirements. A logical development takes place within the sections of the framework, processing initial raw data into statements of risk and hence into precautionary procedures, providing at each step a justification which guarantees the reliability of the information.

Ergonomic guidelines for the design of computer-based information systems
To ensure efficient and effective operation of a computer-based information system, the following factors should be considered in its design: the physical environment within which the user is working; the hardware configuration; the type and style of dialogue between the user and the system; the amount of information required by the user and its presentation. These guidelines describe general features of good dialogue design, the use of colour, menus, graphs, charts and tables, and the structure and layout of text on VDU screens. The characteristics and applicability of several input/output devices are outlined.

Noise reduction and new technologies
Lärmminderung und neue Technologien [in German]
New developments in information technology, production engineering, appliances and facilities, transport and driving gear technology as well as noise reduction technology were examined in order to assess their technical value and their relevance to noise emission at workplaces. Information and laser technology were the basic technologies for all industry branches. For assessment purposes admissible levels were determined which depend on the characteristic value for the number of machines in a production room, the level of reduction per doubling of the distance and the applicable weighting level limit value for the working area. The positive and the negative noise potentials of new technologies were determined with consideration being given to the number of persons concerned. Concrete examples show how to proceed when developing new techniques in order to reduce noise emissions.
