Job Strain among Rubber-glove-factory Workers

Job strain has become a major concern because of its potential impacts on worker well-being and performance. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of, and examine factors associated with, job strain among workers in a rubber-glove factory, in a central province of Thailand. A total of 200 workers aged 18–55 yr, who had worked at the factory for at least 6 months, completed t...

Treatment of Rubber Glove Wastewater by Ultrafiltration

The feasibility of using flat-sheet ultrafiltration polyethersulfone (PES) membranes for treatment of effluent from a rubber glove factory has been investigated. Membranes of molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) 100 kDa and 10 kDa were operated in cross-flow filtration to evaluate the efficiency of rejections of certain selected parameters in the wastewater. The membrane operation was carried out at...

A cosmetic functional hand incorporating a silicone rubber cosmetic glove.

A body powered hand prosthesis has been developed with a view to meeting some of the more c o m m o n criticisms made against currently available designs i.e. weight and cosmetic appearance. A n overall weight reduction of about 30 per cent has been achieved and the use of silicone rubber as the cosmetic glove material has resulted in greatly improved cosmesis and stain resistance. The prosthes...
