Comparison of women’s heat risk profiles among those working in indoor and outdoor sectors

Rising temperatures and heat events may affect workers, especially women, by increasing the risk of Heat Related Illnesses (HRIs). We conducted a cross-sectional study among 903 women in outdoor and indoor sectors. We measured Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and physiological Heat Strain Indicators (HSI), as well as self-reported symptoms of HRIs using a HOTHAPS questionnaire. Multivariate Logistic Regression models were used to compare the heat risks. WBGT exposures were high in both the outdoor (Avg. WBGT = 28.8 °C ± 2.4 °C) and indoor (Avg. WBGT = 28.7 °C ± 3.5 °C) sectors. Outdoor Women Workers (OWW) reported higher HRI symptoms (94%vs.81%), and heat exposures were positively correlated with HRIs (AOR: 3.7; 95%CI: 2.4–6.1). OWW showed a 1.5-fold higher risk of measured HSI above safe limits (95%CI: 1.1–2.1) and a 2.1-fold higher risk of urogenital issues (95%CI: 2.1–3.8) than Indoor Women Workers (IWW). Due to direct sun exposure, intensive labor, and a lack of welfare facilities, OWW has a higher HRI risk.

Logistic Protection of Volunteer Firefighting Units of the National Rescue and Firefighting System during Long-Term Rescue Operations on the Example of Floods

Aim: The aim of the article is to present the method of dispatching the units of the Volunteer Fire Service of the national rescue and firefighting system (OSP KSRG) to long-term rescue operations and to characterize the logistic protection of the units during such operations. The example of the 2010 floods in the Świętokrzyskie region was used as the basis for the analysis. Methodology: During the preparation of the article, the method of analysis was used to explore in more depth the issue of logistic protection of units in long-term rescue operations. A critical analysis of the literature on the subject proved important. Also used was a case study of the logistic protection of OSP KSRG units during the 2010 floods in the Świętokrzyskie region. Conclusions: OSP KSRG units involved in a long-term rescue operation do not have their own logistical facilities, additional equipment or stocks of propellants and grease in sufficient quantities. Therefore, there is a need to implement new solutions aimed at modifying the procedures for logistical security of OSP units participating in long-term rescue operations. The analysis of the case study showed that the autonomy of OSP KSRG units in long-term rescue operations should include securing basic supplies: water, food, liquid fuels and grease, as well as the ability to create their own welfare facilities, including their own sleeping bags, as and tents, field beds, blankets, which will allow firefighters to rest on an ad hoc basis during the action. The use by OSP units of logistic protection capabilities based on local field resources requires the development of guidelines and procedures for the use of the resources in question, as well as an indication of the type of services needed. During the development of rescue plans, entities providing specific logistic services to OSP units should be listed. Keywords: Volunteer Fire Service, State Fire Service, national rescue and firefighting system, logistic protection, action logistics, long-term rescue operations

Effects of Welfare Facilities (Amenities for Well-Being) on the Satisfaction of Civil Engineers in Construction Industry

ABSTRACT The construction industry plays an important role in the upliftment of a country’s economy. Thus, the satisfaction of workers in the construction industry is of prime importance, since it is believed that satisfied working staff will be more efficient and effective. Therefore, it becomes crucial to understand the factors that may influence the satisfaction of the workforce. Among these factors, recently, welfare facilities have received much attention. In this study, welfare facilities such as health, hygiene, eating, drinking, resting, safety, and transportation play a vital role in the satisfaction of workers in the construction industry. Furthermore, a questionnaire survey was used to collect data from 203 civil engineers in Balochistan, Pakistan. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Consequently, the empirical findings indicated that providing welfare facilities have a significant positive impact on the satisfaction of workers. Additionally, the results indicate that among the facilities, transportation and hygiene facilities are the major requirements of civil engineers. Hence, it can be concluded from the findings that organizations that are involved in construction projects, wish to increase the satisfaction of workers and success rate, they should focus on providing welfare facilities to their employees.

The increasing number of unfair claims in long-term care facilities has emerged as a risk factor for threatening the finances of the Korean national health insurance and increasing medical expenses, considering the imminent danger to super-aged society, since the implementation of the Long-term Care Insurance Act for the Elderly. Therefore, we aim to provide alternatives for unfair claim prevention and recidivism. The court's precedents and text-mining analysis were used to identify issues and factors in unfair claims to meet our research goals. Ninety-one cases (i.e., eighty-five elderly care facilities and six elderly care communal homes) were collected from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2020. Our results revealed that fourty-four were fined, seventy-two received probation, and eighteen were sentenced to imprisonment, of the first verdicts by trial courts for senior medical welfare facilities. Among the defendants (n = 146), ninety-nine were top managers; thirteen were care workers; and five were social workers. The indictments consisted of seven violations, and of three most representative contents were violations of the Long-Term Care Insurance Act for the Elderly, of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (fraud), fraud, violations of the Elderly Welfare Act, business embezzlement and forgery of private documents. In the first trial, TF-IDF analysis indicated four keywords, 'regulations and announcements,' 'working hours,' 'additions,' 'competition,' and mandatory personnel, such as physical therapists, social workers, and nursing assistants. In the second trial, 'field investigation,' 'sanitation,' and 'resident' were the main words. Topic Modeling of the first trial showed that 'nursing care workers & sanitation center,' 'nursing care staff assignment standards,' 'social worker & physical therapist,' 'notifications and laws,' 'working hours & exploitation,' 'defendants & victim.' In the second trial, 'accused & supreme unjust (heavy),' 'placement criteria & deception (acts),' 'long-term care benefit & breach of working hours,' 'victim's claim & crime of fraud,' 'false service,' 'staff assignment standards & deceiving (acting),' and 'defendant's working rules & field investigation.' Thus, we explored causes and issues with unfair claims. Finally, we proposed several preventative solutions: ①. change in the perception of operators and works of long-term care institutions, ②. transparent management, ③. a thorough understanding of relevant regulations, such as laws and public announcements, and prevention of errors in interpretation, and lastly ④. active countermeasures focused on improving unfair claims instead of punishment.

사회복지시설 근로자들의 직무스트레스와 우울이 자살생각에 미치는 영향

Today, many workers are exposed to physical and mental stress due to various poor working conditions in modern society, so, the mental health of workers is in a serious condition and workers’ stress is associated with depression and suicide. Hence, it is important to prevent mental stress and alleviate mental illness. The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of depression and the control of social support or the controlled mediating effect of social support on the suicidal ideation of social welfare facility workers who are expected to have more stress than workers in other jobs. The subjects of the study are randomly sampled 323 workers from the workplaces located in one province, and the data is analyzed using correlation analysis, IBM SPSS 27.0 Kor and SPSS Process Macro process type 4. Type 1. Type 14, bootstrapping is used for mediating effect verification. The results of the study are as follows. First, there was a significant correlation between workers' job stress, depression, social support, and suicidal ideation. Second, workers' job stress was found to be an important factor in increasing suicidal ideation through depression as meditation. Third, by controlling social support the depression of workers was found to be a factor that alleviated suicidal ideation. Fourth, the social support had a controlled mediating effect because the influence of job stress on suicidial ideation by depression depends on the level of social support. In this study, the buffer effect of social support is confirmed, but in the previous studies on social support did not show consistent results of buffer effect. The findings suggest the importance of social support as a buffer effect of job stress and depression. So, it is hoped that more research should be carried out on the role of social support in the future because the role of social support, the external environment surrounding workers, helps prevent and alleviate problems of mental health of workers in social welfare facilities or other jobs.
