Applying a ‘presumably plausible’ principle in a new one-time financial compensation system for occupational diseases in the Netherlands

Sep 20, 2024 | oem.bmj.com | Pieter Coenen |Sanja Kezic |Susan Peters |Amsterdam UMC

AbstractObjectives In the Netherlands, a new regulation has been adopted for recognition and compensation of serious substance-related occupational diseases. A national advisory committee has a key task of providing advice on the protocols for operationalisation of individual causality assessment in this new context. Methods Protocol development involves gathering the best available population-level evidence on causality and using this evidence to determine individual causality.

Thoughts on adding diffusing capacity to medical surveillance of coal miners

Aug 17, 2024 | oem.bmj.com | Theodore Lytras

Coal Mining Respiratory Function Tests Occupational Health Services Public Health Surveillance Coal miners are occupationally exposed to coal mine dust, which can cause a spectrum of diseases called coal mine dust lung disease; these include coal workers pneumoconiosis (CWP, also known as ‘black lung’), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), silicosis and dust-related diffuse fibrosis.1 The incidence of these diseases, especially CWP, has been on the rise in the USA in the past two...
Autoimmune diseases, autoantibody status and silicosis in a cohort of 1238 workers from the artificial stone benchtop industry

Aug 12, 2024 | oem.bmj.com | Dunya Tomic |Ryan F Hoy |Javier Martin |Javier Martín |Jesselyn Sin

AbstractObjectives Autoimmune disorders are multifactorial but occupational exposures have long been implicated, including respirable crystalline silica (RCS). A modern epidemic of silicosis is emerging internationally, associated with dry processing of engineered stone with high (>90%) RCS content. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of clinical autoimmune disease and common autoantibodies in exposed workers.

Occupational particle exposure and chronic kidney disease: a cohort study in Swedish construction workers

Jun 5, 2024 | oem.bmj.com | Karl Kilbo Edlund |Eva Andersson |Martin Andersson |Lars Barregard

DiscussionIn this cohort of Swedish construction workers, we found consistent associations between occupational exposure to inorganic dust and fumes and an increased risk of CKD and RRT after adjustment for smoking, BMI and comorbidities during working age (age <65 years). Associations seemed to be driven primarily by exposure to diesel exhaust, cement dust and concrete dust and were robust to exclusion of quartz-exposed individuals.

Prevalence and correlates of workplace violence: descriptive results from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey

Apr 29, 2024 | oem.bmj.com | Idia Enogieru |Ashley L. Blewitt-Golsch |Lauren Hart |Sara LeGrand

DiscussionA substantial proportion of TNB workers reported experiencing harassment, physical violence or sexual assault perpetrated because of their gender identity during their working lives. Our estimates did not include workplace violence from causes other than gender identity-based discrimination, meaning that the overall prevalence of workplace violence experienced by these workers was likely substantially higher.
