Limited Agreement Between Perceptual and Physiological Heat Strain at Initial Stay Times for Continuous Work in the Heat Before Heat Alleviation Controls

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate assessment of heat strain at initial stay time (IST; core temperature 38.0°C or Δ1.0°C above resting), when heat mitigation decisions are required, is critical for managing occupational heat exposure. We evaluated the relationship and agreement between physiological (Physiological Strain Index [PSI] and adaptive PSI [aPSI]

Giovanni Antonio Scopoli's De Hydrargyro Idriensi Tentamina (1761): Mercury Mining, Mercurialism, and Preventive Reasoning in Eighteenth‐Century Occupational Medicine

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Giovanni Antonio Scopoli (1723–1788), a physician‐naturalist of the Enlightenment, is primarily remembered for his contributions to botany and entomology. Less attention has been paid to his medical work De hydrargyro Idriensi Tentamina physico‐chymico‐medica (1761), written during his fifteen years of service as physician at the mercury mines

Timing of Work‐Rest Implementation Influences Worker Productivity Under Heat Stress: Evidence for Initial Stay Time‐Based Scheduling

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Work‐rest allocations recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) limit heat strain and are typically implemented from the onset of work. Whether delaying implementation until after the initial stay time (IST; the duration of continuous work before core temperature reaches 38.0°C) improves ...

Occupational Vulnerability to AI‐Driven Change: The Role of Skill Composition, Task Structure, and Psychosocial Buffers

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Automation risk is often framed as a question of which jobs can be automated. This perspective neglects how the structure of work itself shapes workers' vulnerability to AI‐driven change. In occupational health research, job characteristics such as autonomy, task variety, and social interaction are known to influence worker well ...

Presumptive Coverage Policies and Workers’ Compensation of Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder and Other Mental Health Conditions: A Retrospective Time‐Series Study in Canada 2001–2019

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The impact of presumptive coverage policies for work‐related mental health disorders has not been extensively studied to date. Using data from the Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC), our objectives were to describe the evolution of compensated mental health conditions, and to explore the association ...

Trends in Opioid‐Related Poisonings and Mental and Behavioral Disorders From 2006 to 2022 Among a Large Cohort of Injured Workers in Ontario, Canada

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Work‐related injuries may increase risk for opioid‐related harms. Yet there remains a gap in our understanding of trends in opioid‐related harms over time among injured workers. We estimated trends in hospital encounters for opioid‐related harms among injured workers in Ontario, Canada from 2006 to 2022.

Affected Persons in Laboratory Exposures to Human Pathogens and Toxins in Canada, 2016–2024: A Sector‐Specific Analysis

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Exposures to human pathogens and toxins in licensed facilities in Canada have been monitored by a federal surveillance system since 2015, yet the affected persons (APs) in these incidents remain uncharacterized. This study comprehensively describes APs, highlighting sector‐specific patterns and trends over time.
