This study investigated the relationship between the PHCR, parental recall and regional Health Service Executive (HSE) records for immunisation uptake. It used the Lifeways cohort study of 1070 singleton children to compare immunisation data from PHCR at one year, parental recall at five years and information from the HSE. Whe...

The methods used to dissect tissue and stem blood flow during surgery have changed as technology has developed. Lasers and electro-surgery have become commonplace, so that medical staff in the operating theatre are (potentially) increasingly exposed to the thermal decomposition products of tissues. Variations in ventilation systems and the presence or absence of local exhaust ventilation are li...

Ross et al. [1] compared hearing loss in divers and offshore workers and concluded that current Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidance on the assessment of audiograms is ‘in error’ and ‘inadequate’.

This technique allows making a risk assessment for each source of risk (machine, man, environment, and management), which leads to the determination of the overall risk rate during the activity ...
