Job Exposure Matrix for Electric Shock Risks with Their Uncertainties
We present an update to an electric shock job exposure matrix (JEM) that assigned ordinal electric shocks exposure for 501 occupational titles based on electric shocks and electrocutions from two available data sources and expert judgment. Using formal expert elicitation and starting with data on electric injury, we arrive at a consensus-based JEM. In our new JEM, we quantify exposures by addin...
متن کاملA job-exposure matrix for occupational noise: development and validation.
OBJECTIVE To develop a job-exposure matrix (JEM) for occupational noise in Sweden and to estimate its validity. METHODS The JEM, developed by a group of experienced occupational hygienists, contains 321 job families with information regarding occupational noise from 1970 to 2004. The occupational noise information derives from measurements collected from different sources. The time period lab...
متن کاملMATline: a job-exposure matrix for carcinogenic chemicals.

The database includes agents carrying risk phrases R45, R49 and R40 according to the method of classification adopted by the EU and/or agents in categories 1, 2A and 2B as classified by the International Agenc...
متن کاملUncertainties in estimating health risks associated with exposure to ionising radiation.
The information for the present discussion on the uncertainties associated with estimation of radiation risks and probability of disease causation was assembled for the recently published NCRP Report No. 171 on this topic. This memorandum provides a timely overview of the topic, given that quantitative uncertainty analysis is the state of the art in health risk assessment and given its potentia...
متن کاملPaternal Occupational Exposure to Solvents and The Risk of Congenital Heart Defects in Children Using Job Exposure Matrix
Background and aims: Currently, as a result of research on laboratory animals, abundant information has been obtained on the impact of various environmental factors on the occurrence of congenital malformations, but there is still no comprehensive information on the causes of congenital heart malformations (CHD) in human populations. Congenital heart defects (CHDs) constitute the major class of...
