Visits to company canteens - A methodological guide for industrial physicians
Visite des restaurants d'entreprise - Guide méthodologique pour le médecin du travail [en francés]
Collective catering at work is an important element of general industrial hygiene and of life at work. The industrial physician should take an active interest in it, and moreover under article R 24-41 of the French Labour Code he is obliged to do so. The aim of this article is to provide a framework for understanding the essentials of hygiene when visiting a company or intercompany canteen. Topics covered: 1. Practical organisation of the visit and location of the canteen. 2. Visits to various areas (goods reception, stocks and storage, food preparation areas, cooking sector, distribution sector, dining room, washing up of dishes and ustensils, disposal of waste and cleaning, toilets and cloakrooms, offices). 3. Synthesis, final remarks, dietary concerns. An annex provides a check-list of the main points.

Working conditions and health among night workers in the Japanese service industry
Sābisu sangyō ni okeru shinya rōdō no rōdō eisei [en japonés]
This questionnaire survey was conducted to clarify the relationships between night work conditions and psychosomatic complaints in the service industry. The subjects were full-time workers (N=307) and part-time workers (N=300) who were working in 3 service industries in which business hours were prolonged after 10 p.m. or covered a full 24 hours: convenience stores, family restaurants and fastfood restaurants, business hotels. 37.8% of full-time workers, and 81.7% of part-time workers expressed satisfaction with night work. The major reasons were "higher salaries", "more free time for themselves" and "suitability to their life styles". However, the job scope and responsibility of night work were much heavier than those of day work. 32.9%-43.4% of subjects excluding hotel clerks experienced night-work in addition to scheduled working days during the month preceding the study. As for psychosomatic symptoms, 64% of the subjects complained that they felt "a tendency to become fatigued", and it was the most frequent complaint. Factors related to night work which increased psychosomatic complaints were "working in family restaurants or fastfood restaurants", "doing same jobs at night as during the day", "night work in addition to scheduled working days", "less opportunity to take rests or naps during night work", and "difficulty to be granted their requests to decide working schedules".

Fatal abuse of nitrous oxide in the workplace
Abuse of nitrous oxide (N₂O) while on the job caused at least 11 deaths in 1984 to 1987, as found in investigations by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and in reports to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. These deaths involved recreational inhalation of N₂O by young male employees from tanks or cylinders normally used for legitimate business purposes. In 6 cases, the victims worked in food serving establishments and inhaled N₂O that was used to power whipped cream dispensers. Commercial users of N₂O particularly in the restaurant industry, should be aware of this hazard. Warning labels for N₂O sources and tighter control over supplies are warranted.

Catering. Ergonomic study in 4 school and hospital kitchens: The changeover from hot to cold relay
Restauration collective. Etude ergonomique dans 4 cuisines scolaires et hospitalières: passage de la liaison chaude à la liaison froide [en francés]
An ergonomic study was carried out in 4 school and hospital kitchens. It revealed that the hot to cold relay (meals are prepared well in advance and stored at 3°C before being reheated and served), changeover reduces the handling of heavy loads and eliminates the "last minute rush". On the other hand the division of labour seems to increase, which leads to a form of Taylorism. In cold-relay hospital catering, the staff is demotivated by the lack of overall view of the different phases of the job. Concrete recommendations on kitchen layout, choice of equipment, task distribution and training are made. Working conditions must be taken into account, as must technical hygiene standards, since they contribute to better meal quality and customer service.

Role of infected foold handler in hotel outbreak of Norwalk-like viral gastroenteritis: Implications for control
Investigation of an outbreak of viral (Norwalk-like) gastroenteritis amongst staff (40 cases), resident guests (over 70 cases), and persons attending functions (54 cases) at one hotel over 8 days suggested that the main vehicle of infection was cold foods prepared by a food handler during and after a mild gastrointestinal illness. He was excreting Norwalk-like virus particles 48 hours after the illness. In addition, ill kitchen staff vomited in the kitchen area and may have contaminated surfaces and stored foods. It is recommended that food handlers should be regarded as potentially infectious until at least 48 hours after clinical recovery from viral gastroenteritis. Stored foods that may have been contaminated should be immediately discarded and areas of the work place which may have been affected should be identified and decontaminated.

Carbon dioxide detection in public house cellars
In the cellars of public houses ("pubs") carbon dioxide from cylinders is used for the dispersal of beer from containers. To detect hazardous leaks from these cylinders, a detector-alarm has been developed which is cheap, maintenance-free and easily installed. It provides an immediate audible and visible alarm when the concentration by volume of CO₂ in the local air reaches 0.5% (first stage), and again when it reaches 2% (second stage). Analysis is by the measurement of infrared absorption of sampled air. Test results and observations are described. Recommended safety practices for public house cellars are given.

Request for assistance in preventing electrocutions of workers in fast food restaurants
A worker in a fast food restaurant was electrocuted while kneeling to insert the plug of a portable electric toaster into a 110-120V/20A outlet in a floor that had recently been damp-mopped. The victim went into convulsions with one hand on the plug and the other on the receptacle box. The victim was in contact with electricity for 3-8 min before the proper circuit breaker could be found to cut off power. Recommendations to prevent such accidents: installation of ground fault circuit interrupters, non-metallic construction of exposed receptacle boxes, redesign of plugs and receptacles, clear labelling of circuit breaker or fuse boxes to indicate corresponding outlets and fixtures, training of workers in safe practices and in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

Tuberculosis in occupations associated with food for human consumption (regional investigation)
La tuberculose dans les professions touchant à l'alimentation de l'homme (enquête régionale). [en francés]
This MD thesis, which takes stock of the present situation concerning tuberculosis, from the medical point of view and as regards French law, reports on 70 cases of tuberculosis among workers in the food preparation and retail trade, where there is a high rate of contagion and contamination hazard (10.8% of active tuberculosis cases). Individual case studies are followed by analysis of the results by age, occupational sector, vaccination, occupational medical examinations, screening, associated disease, presence of Koch bacillus, treatment, family and work background, probable source of contamination, influence of the disease on patient's working life, rehabilitation, and reinstatement in previous employment or not. The high incidence of tuberculosis in the food preparation and food retail trades is apparently linked not so much to handling food products as to close contact with the general public, very tiring conditions of work, and the small size of the undertakings concerned, giving rise to inadequate medical supervision. The owners of these undertakings seem to form the most vulnerable group.

Occupational protein contact dermatitis in food handlers.
33 chefs and sandwich-makers with occupational dermatitis of the hands were examined by a standard series of patch tests, patch and scratch tests with a special battery of various foods and spices, the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) and leukocyte migration inhibition tests (LMT). Results fell into 4 different categories: simple irritant dermatitis (2 patients); plain contact dermatitis (6); positive patch and scratch tests (15); positive scratch tests only, termed protein contact dermatitis (10). Food handlers are sensitised by the protein they touch, and then react to later contact with the proteins. The authors recommend scratch tests and 20-min exposure first on normal and next on previously affected skin in patients with suspected occupational dermatitis, and RAST to pertinent foods whenever possible.

Physical and chemical factors in the working environments of hotels and restaurants
Fysikaliska och kemiska faktorer i hotell- och restauranganställdas arbetsmiljö [en sueco]
The microclimate, ventilation, air purity, illumination and noise in the kitchen, dish-washing room and public areas of 11 hotels and restaurants were investigated. Radiation levels close to microwave ovens were checked. There were no direct health hazards, but uncomfortable conditions (heat, noise, poor illumination) leading to stress were present. Noise level (from music) in the dancing area was sometimes high enough to cause hearing damage. The contribution of low illumination in the dining area to accidents was not substantiated.
