Un modello di cartella sanitaria informatizzata come strumento di feedback alla valutaizone del rischio
No full textOur research group has conducted several studies to investigate the effects of occupational risks on the cardiovascular system of exposed workers. In these studies, groups of workers exposed to possible professional cardiovascular risk factors were compared with controls with respect to some parameters (blood pressure, ECG, etc.). The groups were made comparable by age, length of service, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and possible confounding factors outside work. Four studies investigated the effects of noise exposure, three studies the effects of exposure to urban stressors, other studies the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors in various occupational categories (manual workers, agricultural workers, workers exposed to ionizing radiation, workers in rotogravure factory). The results of our studies confirm the presence of cardiovascular risk factors in various professions and the consequent need to take develop preventive strategies in workplaces to prevent the onset of cardiovascular diseases associated with these risk factors

No full textBackground: Radon, the second cause of lung cancer after smoking, is a natural, radioactive gas, which originates from the soil and pollutes indoor air, especially in closed or underground spaces. Italian legislation recommends an action level of 500 Bq/m3per year for occupational exposure in underground premises. Objectives: Since banks usually use various underground premises (archives, safe-deposit room), a study was made of the radon levels on such premises with the aim of identifying useful monitoring strategies. Methods: 134 branches of a major Italian banking group were examined using 1817 nuclear track dosimeters at ground level and underground level premises. The branches were located in 7 Italian regions in the north (Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto), centre (Lazio) and south (Campania, Apulia, Sicily). Information on measurement points was recorded in a technical sheet and statistical analysis was carried out. Results: Annual underground measurements gave an average concentration of 157 Bq/m3, with 5, 1% for 400500Bq/m3. Seasonal variability was reflected in a significant decrease in concentrations between winter and spring (δmean%=- 47,3%) and good stability between autumn and winter (δmean%=3%) ; moreover quarterly concentrations account for 85% of the variability of the corresponding annual level. A multiple linear regression model (R 2=0,33) indicated geographic location as the principal factor in radon accumulation, followed by underground level, humidity, use, lack of windows, heating and natural ventilation, and direct contact of at least one wall with ground rock; whereas the safe-deposit room structure seems to protect from radon accumulation. Moreover, the ground level measurement results were significantly associated with the corresponding underground average concentrations (p< 0,001). Conclusions: The results could be a useful tool in planning a monitoring strategy for assessment of bank worker exposure, especially for banking groups with a large number of branches
Decorso della sintomatologia psichica post-traumatica conseguente a rapina sul lavoro : differenze di genere e di età in un campione di bancari esposti
No full textThis study is aimed at assessing gender and age-related differences in PTSD symptoms in bank employees exposed to robbery and subsequently involved in Psychological Debriefing (PD). The study included 49 females and 51 males (average age 40.9). Impact of Event Scale (IES) was administered before PD (TO) and after 45 days (T1); Post-traumatic Checklist (PCL) only at Tl. The sample exhibited a significant decrease in IES score regardless of gender. Female employees obtained higher IES and PCL scores. No age differences were observed. Consistent with most studies, our results may be explained by a higher susceptibility in women
