Physical Hazards

Objetivo: averiguar a exposição dos profissionais aos riscos físicos presentes em Institutos de Longa Permanecia de Idosos. Métodos: estudo descritivo-exploratório, de caso, de campo, com abordagem quantitativa e delineamento transversal. Foi utilizado um checklist elaborado conforme os requisitos das Resoluções da Diretoria Colegiada da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária Nº 283/2005 e 50/2002, para a coleta dos dados. Resultados: os profissionais estão expostos a diversos riscos físicos, como: distribuição inadequada de mobiliários, choques elétricos, umidade, níveis elevados de pressão sonora, inadequação de espaço e temperatura elevada e ainda, indiretamente dimensionamento de pessoal insuficiente. Conclusão: a estrutura da Instituição avaliada é diferente dos padrões preestabelecidos pelas resoluções sendo real a existência de riscos; todavia, estes problemas podem ser minimizados pelo mapeamento dos riscos ambientais, ressaltando-se que os mesmos são passiveis de prevenção e demandam correção imediata, pois afetam a qualidade do trabalho exercido pelos profissionais ali atuantes.

The Relationship

Every workplace always has potential hazards. The potential hazards most often found inmanufacturing industries are potential physical hazards that can affect labor productivity. The purposeof this study was to analyze the relationship between working period and age of bead craftsmen withhydration levels. Respondents in this study were 19 workers in PT X Jombang Regency. This researchis an observational study with a cross sectional design. Data collection was conducted from April toJuly 2018. Statistical tests used correlation test in testing urin color indications to determinedehydration levels. The results showed a relationship between the variable work period and the level oflabor hydration with p-value 0.000, age variable with hydration level did not have a relationship withp-value 0.087 where the temperature in the workspace averages 34.1°C. There is a relationship betweenthe length of work and the level of hydration of bead craftsmen and there is no relationship betweenage and level of hydration of bead craftsmen. To reduce the level of hydration status, it isrecommended that every bead craftsman every 2 hours drink as much as 0.5 liters of water, so that theneed for fluids is approximately 2 liter in 8 hours of work can be fulfilled. Companies are advised toadd the amount of ventilation in the workspace to reduce exposure to hot temperatures in theworkspace. Keywords: Hydration level, working period, age

The World

Resilience is a ‘re-emerging concept’ which is being applied to deal with the shocks and stresses facing society and the environment as a result of both human induced and physical hazards. Resilience thinking is shaping policy and practice across the world through global programmes such as the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR)'s Making Cities Resilient Campaign; UN Habitat's City Resilience Profiling Programme; and Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities (100 RC). The global post-2015 sustainable development and climate change frameworks and related agreements all have resilience embedded in them. However, the concept of resilience remains contested, with resilience reflecting a continuum of approaches from those that are more deliberative, political, systemic, relational and transformational, to those that are more consultative, post-political, systems based, sectoral and instrumental. Questions of how resilience is being constructed, by whom and for whom therefore need to be explored. This paper focuses on the construction of resilience at three scales: The Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) programme (global), Phase 1 of Durban's 100RC journey (city), and the Palmiet Catchment Rehabilitation Project (sub-catchment within a city). It presents the different approaches adopted by global, city-scale and local programmes to build resilience using different framings, approaches and methodologies.
