Water consumption patterns impact hydration markers in males working in accordance with the National Institute for OccupationalSafety and Health recommendations. The impact of water consumption bolus volume and frequency on hydration biomarkers during work in the heat is unknown. In a randomized, crossover fashion, eight males consumed either 500 mL of water every 40 min or 237 mL of water every
Impact assessment of e-trainings in occupationalsafety and health: a literature review. Implementing workplace preventive interventions reduces occupational accidents and injuries, as well as the negative consequences of those accidents and injuries. Online occupationalsafety and health training is one of the most effective preventive interventions. This study aims to present current knowledge on e-training interventions, make recommendations on the flexibility, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness of online training, and identify research gaps and obstacles. All studies that addressed occupationalsafety and health e-training interventions designed to address worker injuries, accidents, and diseases were chosen from PubMed and Scopus until 2021. Two independent reviewers conducted
Understanding occupationalsafety and health surveillance: expert consensus on components, attributes and example measures for an evaluation framework.

A Short History of OccupationalSafety and Health in the United States. As this short history of occupationalsafety and health before and after establishment of the OccupationalSafety and Health Administration (OSHA) clearly demonstrates, labor has always recognized perils in the workplace, and as a result, workers' safety and health have played an essential part of the battles for shorter hours, higher wages, and better working conditions. OSHA's history is an intimate part of a long struggle over the rights of working people to a safe and healthy workplace. In the early decades, strikes over working conditions multiplied. The New Deal profoundly increased the role of the federal government in the field of occupationalsafety and health. In the 1960s, unions helped mobilize hundreds
Who Has Higher Willingness to Pay for OccupationalSafety and Health?—Views from Groups with Different Public Identities and Differences in Attention Occupationalsafety and health issues are closely associated with the wellbeing and survival of every worker and family, as well as of society as a whole. It is a type of typical public issue and requires cooperative governance among different governing subjects. According to the questionnaire investigation on 2179 subjects with different identities, the research explored the willingness to pay (WTP) for occupationalsafety and health and the degree of attention, with different identities, through the difference analysis and descriptive statistical analysis. The research studied the relationship between public attention and WTP through
Understanding the Economic Benefit Associated with Research and Services at the National Institute for OccupationalSafety and Health: An Approach and Three Case Studies The National Institute for OccupationalSafety and Health (NIOSH) asked the RAND Corporation to develop an approach, reported here, for estimating the economic benefit of NIOSH research, using three case studies. The cases
The Transition from OccupationalSafety and Health (OSH) Interventions to OSH Outcomes: An Empirical Analysis of Mechanisms and Contextual Factors within Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Many OccupationalSafety and Health (OSH) interventions have proven to be effective only under controlled conditions; during the implementation in practice, the interventions may not work as expected
Young Workers’ Access to and Awareness of OccupationalSafety and Health Services: Age-Differences and Possible Drivers in a Large Survey of Employees in Italy Young workers are in particular need of occupationalsafety and health (OSH) services, but it is unclear whether they have the necessary access to such services.
