OHSAH works with all members of the healthcare community and in partnership with healthcare stakeholders including unions and employers; and others, such as WorkSafeBC, university researchers, and the Ministry of Health Services to strive for the missions which underlie the success of the organization. [...] Although the medication cart and the pill crusher are still in the prototype phase, ceiling lifts, safe needle technology, and the automated microtome are excellent examples of how the implementation of technological innovations in this industry are important for reducing the risk of injury to healthcare workers. [...] Forceps and tweezers are made in the shape of a stylus with a functional tip on one end and a piece that rests on the space between the base of the index finger and the thumb on the other end. [...] Pinch grip strength is compromised by opposing the thumb to the index finger only; the current tools do not take advantage of the greater pinch grip strength available from opposing the thumb to the index finger and the middle finger. [...] The design also accommodates the anatomical shape of a hand and aligns the finger tips, enabling a stronger and more comfortable grip, and does not place undue pressure in the carpel tunnel region of the hand.

Despite many advances, 20 American workers die each day as a result of occupational injuries. And occupational safety and health (OSH) is becoming even more complex as workers move away from the long-term, fixed-site, employer relationship. This book looks at worker safety in the changing workplace and the challenge of ensuring a supply of top-notch OSH professionals. Recommendations are addressed to federal and state agencies, OSH organizations, educational institutions, employers, unions, and other stakeholders. The committee reviews trends in workforce demographics, the nature of work in the information age, globalization of work, and the revolution in health care deliveryâ€"exploring the implications for OSH education and training in the decade ahead. The core professions of OSH (occupational safety, industrial hygiene, and occupational medicine and nursing) and key related roles (employee assistance professional, ergonomist, and occupational health psychologist) are profiled-how many people are in the field, where they work, and what they do. The book reviews in detail the education, training, and education grants available to OSH professionals from public and private sources.

The prevention, control, reduction and elimination of occupational hazards and risks are a continuous and ever-evolving concern. Occupational safety and health affects the well-being and quality of life of individuals, their families as well as the community at-large. Due to scientific discoveries and technological advances over the last years, the types and characteristics of professions evolved, introducing new occupational hazards and risks. The Occupational Safety and Health book provides an evaluation of chemical and biological hazards to workload management approaches to workforce education tools from an international perspective. Within the book chapters, potential occupational impacts of rapidly developing nanotechnology and traffic exhausts -- a recently recognised human carcinogen -- are analysed. The workload management program in the healthcare industry is evaluated, as well as the effectiveness of education programs on occupational safety in schools and the perspectives on occupational safety and health in Europe and Asia are also presented. Throughout the book, it is apparent that the need to integrate health and safety in the workplace is beneficial for all interested parties, ranging from stakeholders, investors, workers to the community at-large. This book represents an ideal starting point for introducing emerging aspects of occupational safety and health in response to technological advancements, describing the principles of management and education programs and providing insights on occupational issues for communities with different intellectual and cultural backgrounds.
