  • Background: The understanding of the relationship between risk perception, knowledge, and protective behaviors could play a major role in occupational risk control and management. Research exploring how workers perceive, recognize, and react to risks in different occupational settings is scarce in Thailand. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of noise-related risk perceptions and knowledge to the use of hearing protective devices (HPDs) among sawmill workers in Thailand. Methods: Sawmill workers (n = 540) from four factories in Trang, Southern Thailand, participated in a questionnaire interview from December 2015 to January 2016. Descriptive statistics and linear regression models were used to explore the risk factors related to HPD use. Path diagram analysis was demonstrated and used to evaluate associations. Results: Risk perception was significantly correlated with HPD use (p < 0.01), HPD training (p = 0.01), and the number of years of work experience (p = 0.03). Sawmill workers were likely to use HPDs based on their risk perception and HPD training. However, HPD training was inversely correlated with age and the number of years of work experience. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of risk perceptions and knowledge, and these factors should be emphasized in the design and implementation of any personal safety intervention program for sawmill workers.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception about AI assistants and the differences between two groups, workers(secretaries) and supervisors(bosses), using the Q-methodology which has an advantage in understanding the types of subjective perceptions. Through literature reviews and interviews, 34 Q-samples were extracted, and then Q-sorting was conducted by P-samples(20 workers and 15 supervisors). As a result of Q-sorting, the types and characteristics of AI assistants perceived by each P-sample were explained. The perception of the workers divided into five distinct types, and the perception of the supervisors was divided into three distinct types. The most crucial factors in distinguishing between workers and supervisors' perceptions depend on whether they are capable of performing certain tasks and whether they can replace existing secretarial jobs. This study, as the primary research on AI assistants, can help to redefine the work that can be replaced by AI and the work that only people can do, and thus to establish education, recruitment, and training plans.

  • In order to evaluate the effects of knowledge, attitude and practice on noise-induced hearing loss or hearing threshold level, questionnaire survey was performed and hearing thresholds of 1 kHz and 4 kHz were measured on 1,040 subjects with workers exposed to noise, safety and health officers. industrial hygienists, analysts rind office workers. The results were as follows ; 1. The following 6 factors were obtained by factor analysis and factor rotation of 30 questionnaire of knowledge, attitude and practice about noise; knowledge of noise (F1), concern of hearing protective devices (F2), concern of noise induced hearing loss (F3), concern of noise level and hearing impairment (F4), concern of noise in workplace (F5) and recognition of noised-induced hearing loss (F6). 56.1% of variance was explained by 6 factors. 2. Significant variables influencing knowledge, attitude and practice about noise were education level and age in F1, personal protective devices (PPE) and education level in F2, age and education level in F3, education level, age and sex in F4, PPE, education level, age and work duration in F5, and work duration and PPE in F6. 3. Hearing thresholds of 4 kHz were significantly higher in workers exposed to noise than that of in the other subjects and tended to be higher in industrial hygienists, safety and health officers and analysts than that of the office workers. 4. Significant variables influencing hearing thresholds of 1 kHz were age, education level, F5 and F6 in workers exposed to noise, and F1 in industrial hygienists. 5. Significant variables influencing hearing thresholds of 4 kHz were age, F6, sex, work duration, F1, F5, F2 and F3 in workers exposed to noise, F1 and age in safety and health officers, and F6, sex and F4 in industrial hygienists. With the above results, it suggested that workers exposed to noise be needed the education of knowledge, attitude and practice about noise in hearing conservation program for the prevention of noise induced hearing loss. Also, it suggested that health managers in workplace be needed countermeasures to prevent hearing loss although they are intermittently exposed to noise.

  • 본 연구는 학교급식 식재료의 위생관리 실태를 파악하기 위하여 식재료 생산 가공업체의 생산직원 221명을 대상으로 위생지식을 조사하고, 위생관리 수행수준, 위생관리 현황을 5점 척도로 평가하였다. 생산직원의 위생관리 수행수준의 평균은 4.63/5.0점으로 높은 편이었으나, 위생 지식수준은 4.63/9.0점으로 낮았다. HACCP 인증업체 직원의 위생교육 횟수, 만족도, 위생관리 태도 등이 비인증업체에 비해 유의하게 높았고(p<0.05), HACCP 비인증업체에서의 시설설비에 대한 관리가 요구되었다. 또한 위생관리 수행영역에서 작업대와 작업장의 매일 청소 및 철저한 소독, 냉장고와 냉동실의 청결유지, 작업장의 온도확인, 작업 중 교차오염 방지, 작업 중 작업도구의 철저한 소독, 작업장 출입 시 신발소독 및 에어샤워, 작업복의 매일 세척의 항목은 HACCP 비인 증업체에서 유의하게 잘 지켜지지 않아 위생교육 및 평상시 작업관리 시 철저한 관리가 요구되는 항목이었다. 생산직원들이 학교급식 식재료를 생산하면서 가장 어려운 점은 위생관리와 납품시간 맞추기였고, 위생교육의 불만족한 이유는 일방적인 강의 때문이 가장 높았다. 따라서 생산 가공업체 에서는 교육대상자의 요구에 맞추어 위생교육 내용을 선정하고, 일방적인 강의형식의 교육보다는 활동자료나 교육매체를 활용한 보다 능동적이고 흥미로운 위생교육을 실시하여 교육효과를 최대한 높일 수 있도록 하여야 할 것이다.
