OBJECTIVES Assessment on environmental risk and laborers’ health Statistics on the health and illness of laborers exposed to lead through retrospective medical records Statistical on the results of biochemical tests, clinical exam for laborer who contact directly and regularly with the lead Propose feasible solutions Retrospective method of health exam and test of quantity ∆ALA urine 2 Survey and measure labor environment Evaluate the risks of labor environmental quantity(phải dùng quality) and laborer Investigation and interview (over 100 workers) THE RESULTS A ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT B HEALTH MANAGEMENT I ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 1.2 Evaluation of environmental risks Company should manage well: The process of manufacturing Manipulation of workers Dose, and maintaining chemical substances Strategies and targets based on protecting the source receiving the exposure with contaminants at current and in future Purpose: Reducing emitting the contaminated content in the air Reduced migration path and the exposure of chemicals to workers Reducing environmental risks and potential labor impacts on human health and the environment in general II MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH To employees The reality of illness in 2011: - Molar and face is highest eyes Otorhinolaryngology Evaluating the health risks -The rate following of inorganic infection and inorganic lead infection decreased from 2009 to 2011 => People who have lead infected symbols need to be treated and stop contacting or change working position II MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH The control comparison - Workers who contacted directly (317 people) and indirectly (22 people) with lead vapor ⇒The danger of infection at directed department is very high because they contact with lead vapor and dust weight every day By the time the lead content accumulates in the environment or imbues in their bodies will be increased ⇒ Company needs to have nutrition and protection for their workers, and rotates the work for people who may have a high risk for lead infecting SUMMARY - Company: Improved labor environment from the results of annually test Organize periodic health examination and test ΔALA urine Have incentive examination and treatment for workers who have risks of absorption of lead over time Reducing health risks for workers PETITION Company needs: The technological process should be closed Increase the productivity of sucking of partial stuck system Chemicals should be maintained in closed containers with label in particular area Automate the manufacturing process of chemicals Workers working should have personal protective equipment PETITION Workers should be equipped with good comforters suitable to each kind of work and avoid reusing the old comforters Limiting the spreading out lead in living environment surrounding It is forbidden to put food, drink, and cigarettes near the manufacturing areas Having a regimen to improve worker health 10 Pay special attention to prevent and fight fire PROPOSE SOLUTIONS A SOLUTIONS FOR REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION Training and upgrading the employees’ awareness Planning the manufacturing area Measures of technology Managing waste water Managing the solid waste Managing the air pollution Proposals for regulations and policies B SOLUTIONS FOR MANAGING WORKERS’ HEALTH Measures of health Organize to examine in recruitment Periodically health examine People who have signals in infecting lead should be treated, stopped working and changed their job B SOLUTIONS FOR MANAGING WORKERS’ HEALTH Individual methods 1.Employees should be equipped to use personal protective equipment 2.Having shower after working 3.Not allowed smoking at work 4.Clean dental hygiene REFERENCES Hoang Van Binh (2007), Industrial Poisons and poisoning Prevention, Hanoi Publishing House for Science and Technology Hoang Van Binh (2010), Labor Hygiene, Hochiminh city Publishing House for Science and Technology Huynh Thanh Ha (2009), “ Summarize labor health – environment in 2009 and duties for 2010”, Binh Duong Huynh Thanh Ha (2010), “Summarize labor health – environment in 2010 and duties for 2011”, Binh Duong Tran Thi Ngoc Lan (2004), Manage labor hygiene and take care of employee’s health, Labour and Social Publishing House, Hanoi REFERENCES Nguyen Thi Thu (2001), occupational health, Hanoi Medical Publishing House Nguyen Thi Hong Tu, Bui Thanh Tam (2004), Handbook of managing practical and taking care of employees’ health for local medical staff, Labour and Social Publishing House, Hanoi Nguyen Thi Hong Tu (2003), Affects of occupational dangers in medium and small-sized enterprises on employees’ health and some solutions Hanoi Medical Publishing House 9.Le Thi Hong Tran (2008), Evaluating Environmental risks, Publishing House for Science and Technology 10.Le Thi Hong Tran (2008), Evaluating Healthy and Ecological Risks, Publishing House for Science and Technology REFERENCES 11 Le Trung (2002), Technical regulations of labor medical -
