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 ...

Accidents in the Chemical Industry: A Scoping Review Focused on Causal Factors

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although occupational safety in the chemical industry is an area of ongoing research worldwide, chemical incidents continue to occur, indicating the need to review the causes, assist in safety management, and identify problems in the quality of reporting. Methods A systematic search of studies published in English between January 1,

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 ...
