“…Occupational Pb exposure is still common in developing countries especially among workers in the informal sector who come into contact with Pb during their manufacturing processes [1,2]. In developed countries there are stringent controls, improvements in industrial processes and regulations regarding emission and release of Pb into the environment.…”

“…Moreover, in Kenya where the majority of the population works in the informal sector, exposure to Pb is likely to occur. This is further exacerbated by lack of adequate occupational safety and health measures among workers including information in regard to exposure to Pb and associated health effects [2,6]. The production areas of the informal sector workers are usually unregulated, and located in close proximity to residential areas.…”

Lead (Pb) is widely used in the informal sector and much of the exposure levels is through handling, processing, fabrications, burning and disposal of materials containing Pb. Furthermore, Pb bio-accumulate and is highly toxic to human health and is persistent in the environment. This study was therefore designed to evaluate levels of exposure to airborne Pb among workers in the informal sector. Airborne Pb was collected using air sampler in 34 production areas (sheds) and two control areas. The concentration of airborne Pb was determined using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). An empirical survey using questionnaires also assessed the knowledge about airborne Pb and occupational safety, and health strategies in place. Nearly 56.0% of the sheds had airborne Pb concentration ranging from 1.4 µg/m3 to 126.9 µg/m3. On the contrary, 44.1% of the production areas and control sites had airborne Pb levels below the detectable limit (BDL). The welding works in sheds 11 and 27, and painting activities in shed 6 and 16 had significantly (p <0.05) higher levels of airborne Pb with a mean ± standard deviation (sd) of 126.9 ± 20.1µg/m3, 117.4 ± 5.2 µg/m3 and 56.4 ± 3.1 µg/m3, and 53.6 ± 0.6 µg/m3, respectively than other operations within the sheds, and the controls areas. These levels in the welding and painting areas also exceeded the USA. Occupational Safety Health Act (OSHA) Permissive Exposure Limit (PEL) Time Weighted Average (TWA) of 50 µg/m3. The study further found that the informal sector workers had limited information about Pb exposure despite the fact that 50.0% of them had secondary education and 9.4% had primary education. About 62.0% of these workers were unaware of Pb exposure and related adverse effects. 70.6% of the workers had not taken annual medical check-ups. In addition, the workers did not have appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) that would reduce their exposure to Pb. The study recommends comprehensive awareness and training programs on Pb exposure and occupational safety and health in the informal work environment to prevent associated health effects.

The article identifies the need to improve the information support of occupational safety consulting by creating a monitoring system. This is due to changes in the regulatory framework of labor protection, as well as changes in the structure of State Labour Service of Ukraine. The development of a monitoring system is due to the need for comprehensive modernization of information and analytical support in the field of labor protection. The lack of a subsystem of analytical data processing complicates the implementation of queries and prevents effective multicriteria information retrieval in databases, creating integrated reports, complicates or prevents the use of mathematical modeling techniques to predict occupational safety and occupational risk assessment. The basic principles on which the system of state monitoring of labor protection should be based are determined (the principle of purposefulness, the principle of planning, the scientific principle, the principle of objectivity, etc.). The main functions of the monitoring system for information support of occupational safety consulting are: accounting and analysis of indicators of labor protection; labor protection planning; organization and control of work on the implementation of labor protection measures; evaluation of the results of the planned activities. The implementation of the proposed principles and approaches to the development of a monitoring system becomes possible in the active development of information technology, as a result of which computer and communication technology and software have become widespread in all industrial and scientific fields. For the functioning of the monitoring system it is necessary to develop a set of methods, techniques and algorithms that establish the procedure for collecting, processing, analyzing and using data in the process of management activities in the field of labor protection. The use of the results of the monitoring system will increase the level of awareness of managers and specialists who carry out management in the field of labor protection, as well as ensure the scientific validity of management decisions.

In the conditions of administrative reform and changes in the regulatory and legislative framework on labor relations, labor protection and industrial safety, there are conditions for changing the methods of organization and conducting state supervision in order to improve safety and preserve health at work. Ensuring information needs regarding the state of labor safety and labor relations at the enterprises of Ukraine plays an increasingly important role in the implementation of the control and supervision activities of State Labor inspectors. The purpose of the conducted research is to create instrumental means of assessing the state of labor relations and labor safety in Ukraine in order to properly organize measures of state supervision (control) on matters of labor relations and labor protection, to ensure the unity of approaches for the assessment by labor inspectors of the risks of violations of legislation by business entities. The article discusses theoretical approaches and practical implementation of the creation of a program-analytical complex of the industrial safety and health analysis system. The purpose of the system is described, and its structure is considered in detail. A description of the components of the program and analytical complex of the industrial safety and health analysis system is given, and the functional capabilities of each subsystem are given. Methodological approaches to the creation of an analytical complex of the industrial safety and health analysis system are considered in detail.
