Assessing the use of hearing protection in industrial settings: a comparison be...
Arezes, P.; Miguel, A. SérgioIn industrial environments, hearing protection devices (HPDs) are used to protect workers from noise exposure. However, the effectiveness of this practice can be compromised when workers periodically remove their HPDs while exposed to noise, which greatly affects the attenuation of the devices. Therefore, it is important for techniques that assess the “real” use of HPDs to be accurate. This study analysed the a...

SérgioA obra editada pela ACT «Estudo Epidemiológico Transversal em Empresas Têxteis de Fiação, Tecelagem e Acabamentos» permitiu confirmar elevados níveis de empoeiramento nos postos de trabalho analisados naquele sector e, ainda, efectuar uma caracterização genérica das concentrações desses poluentes, procurando estabelecer uma relação entre estes níveis de exposição e a função respiratória dos trabalhadores.
Manual materials handling: knowledge and practices among Portuguese health and ...
Arezes, P.; Miguel, A. Sérgio; Colim, Ana S.Manual Materials Handling (MMH) has been considered one of the major problems in occupational settings and, accordingly indicated as one of the main reasons for musculoskeletal diseases in a wide variety of workplaces. To ascertain the associated risk, several methodologies need to be identified and/or the risk involved in the MMH task evaluated. The aim of this work was to characterize the knowledge and use of...

Risk perception and safety behaviour: a study in an occupational environment
Arezes, P.; Miguel, A. SérgioIt seems reasonable to assume that risk perception in workplaces can influence workers’ behaviour and, consequently, their exposure to some occupational risks, such as the risk of noise exposure. However, only a small number of references in the literature stressed the relationship between risk perception and occupational noise exposure. The existing studies rarely include quantitative variables related to cent...
Occupational exposure to inhalable wood dust in the member states of the Europe...
Kauppinen, Timo; Vincent, Raymond; Liukkonen, Tuula; Grzebyk, Michel; Kauppinen, Antti; Welling, Irma; Arezes, P.; Black, Nigel; Bochmann, FrankThe aim of this study was to estimate occupational exposure to inhalable wood dust by country, industry, the level of exposure and type of wood dust in 25 member states of the European Union (EU-25) for the purposes of hazard control, exposure surveillance and assessment of health risks. National labour force statistics, a country questionnaire (in 15 member states, EU-15), a company survey (in Finland, France,...
