Occupational safety & health of young adult agricultural workersRudolphi, Josie M. 01 May 2017 (has links)
Background: Agriculture is the most hazardous occupational industry for young adults. Young adults are engaging in agricultural work and interacting with common hazards, however, it is unknown how young adults are engaging with such hazards and whether administrative controls including workplace organizational factors and social influences in the workplace are associated with safe working practice.
Methods: Workplace practices were examined among young adult agricultural workers (18-24). Workers responded to statements regarding their participation in six agricultural work areas, specific behaviors within each work area, risk-taking behaviors of parents, peers, and supervisors, and items about workplace organizational characteristics. A second study, conducted among swine facility workers in the Midwest, tested the effectiveness of an intervention that coupled behavioral theory with technology to increase the use of hearing protection in swine facilities.
Results: Results from the cross-sectional, online survey indicated supervisor influence was more strongly associated with reported workplace behaviors than co-worker/peer or parent influence. Furthermore, organizational factors including number of hours worked each week and the presence of safety and health policies was associated with workplace behaviors Results from the intervention study suggest behavioral tracking is effective at increasing the use of hearing protection among young adult swine facility workers in the short term, however, changes in behavior are not maintained over time. Supplying hearing protection is a more effective tool in facilitating sustainable behavioral change.
Conclusions: Results suggest interventions that address social and organizational factors of work to improve workplace behaviors among young adult agricultural workers should be tested.

職業災害調查之探討 / The Study of Investigations on Occupational Accident張享琦 Unknown Date (has links)
職業災害調查係為勞動檢查之一環,係發生重大職業災害後,所執行之行政調查,為判斷重大職業災害過失責任關係、分析事故發生因素、防範再度發生之預防措施,不僅可以讓勞工及其家屬了解職業災害事故始末,也可透過調查報告書讓有過失責任者受到應有之懲罰,對受職業災害之勞工及其家屬可謂非常重要。職業災害調查通常具備強制性行政調查權,但在調查過程中,並無權限封鎖重大職災現場來保持證據的完整性,本文將探討目前職業災害調查制度之成效?以及目前法院對職業災害調查報告書之見解為何?此外並探討美、日兩國之職業災害調查制度?以上為本文探討重點。
本文發現我國職業災害調查制度雖有不足之處,但目前勞動法令授與勞動檢查員強制性行政檢查權、停工權…等權限,已賦予執行職業災害調查之基本權限,規劃出職業災害調查制度的雛形,本文認為目前雖有不足之處,但已能處理大多數的重大職業災害案件,至於勞動法令是否應讓勞動檢查員,於發生重大職業災害下,得執行特別司法警察官權限進行調查的問題,本文綜觀美、日兩國制度及相關文獻後,認為目前尚不需授與特別司法警察官權限,但必須要加強勞動檢查員與警察、消防機關之職務聯繫及協助,並賦予勞動檢查員行政封鎖之權限,使職業災害調查制度更加完善,能夠妥善處理每一件重大職業災害案件。並提出下列建議:
一、建立職業災害事故現場的行政封鎖制度
二、加強與其他機關的職務協助關係
三、縮短雇主通報義務時間
四、強化專業分工與在職訓練
五、釐清勞動派遣之雇主關係
六、加強雇主預防責任
