Title : The implementation of medical monitoring programs following potentially hazardous exposures: a medico-legal perspective. Personal Author(s) : Greenberg MI;Vearrier D; Published Date : 2017/11/01 URL : https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/249391 Greenberg MI and Vearrier D (2017).

TY - Journal Article AU - Greenberg MI AU - Vearrier D AB - Context: Clinical toxicologists may be called upon to determine the appropriateness of medical monitoring following documented or purported exposures to toxicants in the occupational, environmental, and medical settings. Methods: We searched the MEDLINE database using the Ovid® search engine for the following terms cross-referenced to the MeSH database: ("occupational exposures" OR "environmental exposures") AND ("physiologic monitoring" OR "population surveillance"). The titles and abstracts of the resulted articles were reviewed for relevance. We expanded our search to include non-peer-reviewed publications and gray literature and resources using the same terms as utilized in the MEDLINE search. There were a total of 48 relevant peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed publications. Publications excluded contained no information relevant to medical monitoring following potentially harmful toxicologic exposures, discussed only worker screening/surveillance and/or population biomonitoring, contained redundant information, or were superseded by more recent information. Approaches to medical monitoring: A consensus exists in the peer-reviewed medical literature, legal literature, and government publications that for medical monitoring to be a beneficial public health activity, careful consideration must be given to potential benefits and harms of the program. Characteristics of the exposure, the adverse human health effect, the screening test, and the natural history of the disease are important in determining whether an exposed population will reap a net benefit or harm from a proposed monitoring program. Broader interpretations of medical monitoring: Some have argued that medical monitoring programs should not be limited to exposure-related outcomes but should duplicate general preventive medicine efforts to improve public health outcomes although an overall reduction of morbidity, mortality and disability by modifying correctable risk factors and disease conditions. This broader approach is inconsistent with the targeted approach advocated by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and the United States Preventive Services Task Force and the bulk of the peer-reviewed medical literature. Medical monitoring in legal contexts: Numerous medical monitoring actions have been litigated. Legal rationales for allowing medical monitoring claims often incorporate some of the scientific criteria for the appropriateness of monitoring programs. In the majority of cases in which plaintiffs were awarded medical monitoring relief, plaintiffs were required to demonstrate both that the condition for which medical monitoring was sought could be detected early, and that early detection and treatment will improve morbidity and mortality. However, the treatment of medical monitoring claims varies significantly depending upon jurisdiction. Examples of large-scale, comprehensive medical monitoring programs: Large-scale, comprehensive medical monitoring programs have been implemented, such as the Fernald Medical Monitoring Program and the World Trade Center Health Program, both of which exceeded the scope of medical monitoring typically recommended in the peer-reviewed medical literature and the courts. The Fernald program sought to prevent death and disability due to non-exposure-related conditions in a manner similar to general preventive medicine. The World Trade Center Health Program provides comprehensive medical care for World Trade Center responders and may be viewed as a large-scale, federally--funded research effort, which distinguishes it from medical monitoring in a medico-legal context. Synthesis of public health approaches to medical monitoring: Medical monitoring may be indicated following a hazardous exposure in limited circumstances. General causation for a specific adverse health effect must be either established by scientific consensus through a formal causal analysis using a framework such as the Bradford-Hill criteria. The exposure must be characterized and must be of sufficient severity that the exposed population has a significantly elevated risk of an adverse health effect. Monitoring must result in earlier detection of the condition than would otherwise occur and must confer a benefit in the form of primary, secondary or tertiary prevention. Outcome tables may be of use in describing the potential benefits and harms of a proposed monitoring program. Conclusions: In the context of litigation, plaintiffs may seek medical monitoring programs after documented or putative exposures. The role of the clinical toxicologist, in this setting, is to evaluate the scientific justifications and medical risks and assist the courts in determining whether monitoring would be expected to result in a net public health benefit.

Our aim was to investigate current practices with occupational medicine practice (OMP) national leaders. Methods: A series of qualitative telephone interviews were conducted with 11 OMP national leaders from medical centers in 10 states. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded using a directed content analysis. Codes were organized into themes. Results: All respondents were board-certified physicians in medical center OMP. Interviews up to 45 minutes found three themes: policy interpretation, benefits and barriers to surveillance, and potential respondent-generated solutions. Three of 10 medical centers provided medical surveillance. Conclusions: Medical surveillance for hazardous drugs is infrequent, and consensus is lacking regarding standard practices. Further work is needed to minimize risk to health care workers.

Results: Absence days were more in the collaborative care group compared with the PAU group at 3 and 6 months but at 12 months the difference was no longer statistically significant. Collaborative care led to better response and remission depression scores compared with PAU at 12 months. Conclusions: Collaborative care led to faster improvement in depression symptoms but did not translate to less time away from work.

AU - Scott JG AU - Shore E AU - Tenney L AB - Background: Leadership commitment to worker safety and health is one of the most important factors when organizations develop and implement a Total Worker Health® approach. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of a Total Worker Health ("TWH") leadership development program that targeted owners and other senior-level leadership positions on changing organizational and worker outcomes from baseline to one-year later. Methods: The Small + Safe + Well study included small businesses from a variety of industries in the state of Colorado, USA that were participating in Health Links. We designed a randomized waitlisted control comparison design (RCT) to evaluate the added benefit of a TWH leadership development program. An employer assessment tool was used to assess TWH policies and programs, and an employee health and safety survey was used to assess safety leadership and health leadership practices, safety climate and health climate, safety behaviors and health behaviors, and well-being. We used a linear mixed model framework with random effects for business and employee to assess the impact of intervention on the outcomes of interest. Results: Thirty-six businesses (37% retention) and 250 employees (9% retention) met the RCT study inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Businesses improved their TWH policies and programs score from baseline to one-year later, regardless of leadership intervention group assignment. Neither intervention group demonstrated improvements in employee-reported outcomes. Conclusions: This study sought to address a gap in the literature regarding small business senior leadership development for TWH. Our study demonstrates many of the challenges of conducting studies focused on organizational change in workplaces, specifically in small businesses. When designing TWH intervention studies, researchers should consider how to best engage small business leaders in interventions and implementations early on, as well as methods that are well matched to measuring primary and secondary outcomes longitudinally. Future research is needed to test the feasibility and sustainability of TWH interventions in small business.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a program including simulation in reducing work-related stress and work-related outcomes among ICU nurses. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Multicenter randomized clinical trial performed at 8 adult ICUs in France from February 8, 2016, through April 29, 2017. A total of 198 ICU nurses were included and followed up for 1 year until April 30, 2018. INTERVENTIONS The ICU nurses who had at least 6 months of ICU experience were randomized to the intervention group (n = 101) or to the control group (n = 97). The nurses randomized to the intervention group received a 5-day course involving a nursing theory recap and situational role-play using simulated scenarios (based on technical dexterity, clinical approach, decision making, aptitude to teamwork, and task prioritization), which were followed by debriefing sessions on attitude and discussion of practices. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was the prevalence of job strain assessed by combining a psychological demand score greater than 21 (score range, 9 [best] to 36 [worst]) with a decision latitude score less than 72 (score range, 24 [worst] to 96 [best]) using the Job Content Questionnaire and evaluated at 6 months. There were 7 secondary outcomes including absenteeism and turnover. RESULTS Among 198 ICU nurses who were randomized (95 aged ≤ 30 years [48%] and 115 women [58%]), 182 (92%) completed the trial for the primary outcome. The trial was stopped for efficacy at the scheduled interim analysis after enrollment of 198 participants. The prevalence of job strain at 6 months was lower in the intervention group than in the control group (13% vs 67%, respectively; between-group difference, 54% [95% CI, 40%-64%]; P < .001). Absenteeism during the 6-month follow-up period was 1% in the intervention group compared with 8% in the control group (between-group difference, 7% [95% CI, 1%-15%]; P = .03). Four nurses (4%) from the intervention group left the ICU during the 6-month follow-up period compared with 12 nurses (12%) from the control group (between-group difference, 8% [95% CI, 0%-17%]; P = .04). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among ICU nurses, an intervention that included education, role-play, and debriefing resulted in a lower prevalence of job strain at 6 months compared with nurses who did not undergo this program. Further research is needed to understand which components of the program may have contributed to this result and to evaluate whether this program is cost-effective.

We identified the most frequent laboratory (complete blood count) and physical (skin) examination components. A health history was frequently used. Statistical analysis did not suggest an association between institutions with greater resources and presence of a surveillance program. Conclusions: A consensus standard for medical monitoring was not reported by the respondents. We recommend using a standardized surveillance questionnaire and applying uniform laboratory testing across institutions, in addition to establishing a national repository for surveillance data.

TY - Journal Article AU - Bosson JK AU - Hettinger VE AU - Hutchinson DM AB - Men and women who violate traditional expectations with regard to professional status are perceived negatively by others, and can face negative outcomes in the workplace. Here we examine whether these negative perceptions extend to observers' evaluations of status violators' intimate relationships. We employed a fictional scenario depicting a heterosexual married couple, manipulating the professional status of each character while holding all other information constant. Participants (N = 396) projected lower relationship satisfaction onto the husband when he had lower professional status than his wife (nontraditional condition). Participants in this condition also liked and sympathized with the wife less, and perceived her as having more power in the relationship than her husband. Finally, these effects were mediated by ratings of the characters on perceived normative masculinity/femininity. These findings contribute to existing research on the penalties that both male and female gender role violators face, suggesting additional consequences for outsiders' perceptions of their intimate relationships.

TY - Journal Article AU - Baggett JG AU - Bishop R AU - Monsalve JJ AU - Ripepi N AU - Soni A AB - Underground limestone deposits are prone to karst void formations due to the dissolution of carbonate rocks. These deposits offer permeable conditions to groundwater flow leading to the formation of a network of void spaces or cavities. The cavities can accommodate unconsolidated sediments and groundwater. Interaction of these voids with a prevalent discontinuity network may lead to ground control problems during mining operations. This paper presents a numerical estimation of the effect of karst voids on the strength of pillars in an underground room-and-pillar limestone mine. It is shown that these voids may contribute to a considerable decrease in pillar strength. Mining advances into such formations may lead to a sudden in-rush of groundwater or unconsolidated sediments. Apart from posing a safety hazard, this may also disrupt the pre-planned mine operations and design of the headings and pillars. The procedure for estimation of pillar strength using numerical modeling may provide a viable approach to design the future pillars detected with karst voids. Previous studies performed at the case study mine used ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to map the karst boundaries inside the pillar. Apart from the LiDAR scans used to map the discontinuity network around the pillars, some approximations were made to account for the inadequate discontinuity characterization data. Distinct-element modeling (DEM) is used to simulate the presence of voids and discontinuities in the form of discrete fracture networks (DFN). An effort is made to understand the importance of pillar design and dimensions in an underground limestone mine with karst voids to prevent local instability related to pillar failures.

These materials typically contain chrysotile asbestos with concentrations ranging up to 80%. The objective of this research was to evaluate asbestos exposure from gloves, tong sleeves, and Transite board with simulated laboratory use. An environmental chamber was used to simulate laboratory application of the products. Bulk samples of various products were tested before and after use. Personal breathing zone air samples as well as one cumulative air sample were collected during testing and followed the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 7400/7402 methodologies. Phase contrast microscopy (PCM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used for sample analyses. Analysis of air samples using PCM, showed airborne fiber concentrations as high as 0.058 f/cc during use of tongs fitted with asbestos sleeves. Further analysis using TEM showed that the highest airborne fiber concentration was 0.0036 f/cc. Manipulation of Transite board resulted in 8-hour time-weighted-average (TWA) asbestos levels as high as 0.02 f/cc. Testing of various asbestos containing materials used in research laboratories indicate low potential for asbestos fiber exposures.

AU - Wempen JM AU - Westman EC AB - Gate road yield pillars are subject to increases in stress as the longwall face advances through a panel. Safe, efficient underground mining is dependent upon proper pillar sizing. Theoretical models of pillar loading are well accepted, and geotechnical measurements, including convergence monitoring, have provided important information about stress levels and distributions within pillars. Numerical modeling has developed as a method which complements empirical and theoretical pillar behavior concepts, and allows prediction of the behavior of various pillar sizes under changing conditions. Seismic tomography has seen fairly limited application in the mining industry, but has potential to be a valuable method to further improve understanding of coal pillar performance under changing loading conditions. This research presents a case study from a longwall mine in the western USA. A two-entry gate road yield pillar in the headgate of the mine was instrumented with seismometers and convergence monitoring stations, and was monitored over a period of about 6 months as the longwall face approached the pillar. In this paper, the stress distribution imaged using seismic tomography is compared to the stress distribution expected from theoretical models, geotechnical measurements, and numerical models. The tomography results generally agree with those proposed by theory, convergence measurements, and numerical modeling results. The agreement of the methods provides validation for the theorized stress redistribution, and this study provides further evidence that tomography can indicate the redistribution of induced stress within a mined rockmass and is another tool available to ensure that mining is conducted safely and efficiently.

The growth in dual professional couples working for multinational firms has also led to work-home conflict in many parts of the world (Hill, Yang, Hawkins, & Ferris, 2004). Despite the global importance of work-family issues and repeated calls to study this topic in unique cultural contexts (Allen, 2013; Poelmans, 2003, 2005; Powell, Francesco, & Ling, 2009), work-family research has predominantly been conducted in Anglo societies. In fact, a review found that 75 per cent of work-family studies were based on data entirely from US workers (Casper, Eby, Bordeaux, Lockwood, & Lambert, 2007). The lack of studies on the work-family interface from countries outside the US is problematic given that the legal context in which individuals and organisations manage work-family concerns varies substantially. Cultural differences may also have an important influence on work-family issues as they impact both family and work values, interactions among family members, expectations associated with gender roles, and which relatives are defined as in-group family members. In this special section, we bring together four papers with the overarching goal of disseminating knowledge about how the work-family interface is both different and the same across distinct national contexts. Each of the papers contained in this issue examines work-family issues in at least five distinct national contexts.

AB - Background: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) produced an advisory list identifying essential critical infrastructure workers (ECIW) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response. The CISA advisory list is the most common national definition of ECIW but has not been mapped to United States (U.S.) Census industry codes (CICs) to readily identify these worker populations in public health data sources. Methods: We identified essential critical infrastructure industry designations corresponding to v4.0 of the CISA advisory list for all six-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and cross-walked NAICS codes to CICs. CICs were grouped as essential, non-essential, or mixed essential/non-essential according to component NAICS industries. We also obtained national estimated population sizes for NAICS and Census industries and cross-tabulated Census industry and occupation codes to identify industry-occupation pairs. Results: We produced and made publicly available spreadsheets containing essential industry designations corresponding to v4.0 of the CISA advisory list for NAICS and Census industry titles and codes and population estimates by six-digit NAICS industry, Census industry, and Census industry-occupation pair. The CISA advisory list is highly inclusive and contains most industries and U.S. workers; 71.0% of Census industries comprising 80.6% of workers and 80.7% of NAICS industries comprising 87.1% of workers were designated as essential. Conclusions: We identified workers in essential critical infrastructure industries as defined by CISA using standardized industry codes. These classifications may support public health interventions and analyses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and future public health crises.

Results provided some evidence that paid sick leave has a small but significant negative relationship with work-family conflict. Little evidence was revealed of a link between paid parental leave or of a link between paid annual leave and work-family conflict. Family-supportive organisational perceptions and family-supportive supervision were tested as moderators with some evidence to suggest that paid leave policies are most beneficial when employees' perceptions of support are higher than when they are lower. Family-supportive organisational perceptions and family-supportive supervision were both associated with less work-family conflict, providing evidence of their potential benefit across national contexts.

Chronic inhalation of organic dusts is implicated in respiratory diseases. CD14 is a critical receptor for gram-negative lipopolysaccharide; however, its association with respiratory disease among agricultural workers is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine if serum soluble CD14 (sCD14) levels are associated with lung function among agricultural workers and if this association is modified by genetic variants in CD14. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 584 veterans with >2 years of farming experience and that were between the ages of 40 and 80 years. Participants underwent spirometry and were genotyped for four tagging CD14 polymorphisms (CD14/-2838, rs2569193; CD14/-1720, rs2915863; CD14/-651, rs5744455; and CD14/-260, rs2569190). Serum sCD14 was assayed by ELISA. Results: Subjects were 98% white males with a mean age 64.5 years. High soluble CD14 levels (> median sCD14) were associated decreased lung function (FEV1/FVC, p = 0.011; % predicted FEV1, p = 0.03). When stratified by COPD (yes/no) and smoking status (ever/never), high sCD14 levels (> median sCD14) were associated with low lung function among ever smokers with COPD (% predicted FEV1, padj = 0.0008; FEV1/FVC, padj = 0.0002). A similar trend was observed for never smokers with COPD; however, results did not reach statistical significance due to small sample size. There was a significant sCD14 x COPD/smoking interaction with lung function (% predicted FEV1, pinter = 0.0498; FEV1/FVC, pinter = 0.011). Regression models were adjusted for age, body mass index, education, sex, race and years worked on a farm. No association was found between CD14 polymorphisms/haplotypes (CD14/-2838; CD14/-1720; CD14/-651; CD14/-260) and sCD14 levels. The final model included the variables sCD14 and haplotypes and a haplotype x sCD14 interaction term. Individuals with the GTTG haplotype (CD14/-2838 --> CD14/-260) and high sCD14 levels (> median sCD14) had on average 6.94 lower % predicted FEV1 than individuals with the GCCA haplotype and low sCD14 levels (≤ median sCD14, padj = 0.03). Conclusion: CD14 haplotypes and sCD14 are important mediators of lung function among those with COPD in this occupationally-exposed population.

Samples were collected in the intake, near the feeder breaker, and downwind of an active roof bolter, as well as in three downwind locations from the continuous miner during four separate cuts. The dust was analyzed using: scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) to estimate particle size and mineralogy distributions; thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to estimate coal, non-carbonate, and carbonate mass fractions; and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to estimate quartz and kaolinite mass content. SEM-EDX results were generally consistent with those obtained in previous studies of other central Appalachian mines, including presence of relatively high non-carbonate minerals content (primarily aluminosilicates and silica) associated with the rock strata encountered in the mine. Downwind of the miner, fine aluminosilicate particles were particularly abundant and apparently influenced the SEM-EDX analysis for some samples, resulting in underestimation of coal content relative to TGA. Comparison of the microscopy results to those from the TGA and FT-IR indicates some interference between aluminosilicates and coal dust is simply due to high sample loading - however, presence of coal-mineral micro-agglomerates is also indicated.

Abbas AB - Healthcare is one of the largest and fastest growing industries worldwide. It is complex and comprises different occupations directly providing healthcare services, and occupations providing other supporting services. The industry is changing rapidly with advances in medical science and new technologies. It faces new challenges stemming from changing demographics, migration, environmental and geopolitical instability, increased demand and cost of health services, and new disease outbreaks, all contributing to new hazards or exacerbating existing ones. A healthy healthcare workforce is central to sustain healthcare systems and for a prosperous society and economy. However, healthcare workers are exposed to a mixture of hazards that can include chemical (anesthetic gases), biological (pathogens), physical (radiation), ergonomic (musculoskeletal), psychosocial (stress), and safety hazards (violence). Chemical hazards arise from sources, such as cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing agents, solvents, glues, metals, hazardous drugs, laboratory chemical reagents, waste anesthetic gases, surgical smoke, and other indoor air contaminants. Working in healthcare is associated with a spectrum of adverse health outcomes including respiratory, reproductive, dermatologic, neurologic, other systemic outcomes, and cancer. These exposures and health hazards are preventable but continue to occur among healthcare workers in part because industry attention is focused on preventing healthcare-associated infections in patients caused by pathogens. Healthcare workers' exposures to chemicals is consequently not well recognized and disease prevention or exposure mitigation measures are not fully implemented. The focus of this review is to highlight inhalation and dermal exposures to chemicals among various occupations and units in healthcare and identify opportunities for exposure mitigation and disease prevention.
