“…A third article 11 dealt with a multicenter research trial, with the training of 31 ACS from three Family Health Strategy (EFS) units in the city of Bauru, Sao Paulo, and 75 ACS from four units in Sorocaba, also in Sao Paulo. Two studies were related to companies' workers, with focus on the topic occupational auditory health 13,14 . In one of them, the training was carried out with 61 workers from a meatpacking company, approaching the beliefs and attitudes concerning hearing conservation 12 .…”

“…In another one, a one-year training program was carried out with 103 trainee carpenters, approaching the attitudes and beliefs related the prevention of hearing losses. The attendees were randomly split in two groups, and half of them received guidance on a collective basis, and the other half received guidance in an individual manner 14 . Some studies collected data by applying a protocol before and after the training of all attendees of the sample, aiming at checking its effectiveness [12][13][14] .…”

“…In another one, a 30-minute interactive discussion led by an instructor took place, using audiovisual material. Then, a 45-minute hands-on training was carried out 14 . The use of motivating teaching methodologies for the trainings' attendees was crucial, as they ensured a consolidation of the topic and the performance of a more efficient preventive work.…”

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a produção científica, sobre capacitação em saúde auditiva nos últimos cinco anos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória nas bases de dados: MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura publicada no período de 2007 a 2011, utilizando os descritores: Audição, Deficiência Auditiva, Hipoacusia, Perda Auditiva, Perda da Audição, Perda da Capacidade Auditiva, Pessoas com Deficiência Auditiva, Portadores de Deficiência Auditiva, Portadores de Insuficiência Auditiva, Portadores de Surdez, combinadas com: Capacitação, Capacitação em Serviço, Programa Saúde da Família, Capacitação de Recursos Humanos em Saúde.Foram encontrados 31 artigos e selecionados cinco, que contemplavam a temática pesquisada. Destes, três eram direcionados aos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde que atuavam em Equipes de Saúde da Família, para verificar a efetividade das capacitações em relação à saúde auditiva infantil, e dois trabalhadores de empresas, para sensibilizar os profissionais sobre a prevenção das alterações auditivas nas atividades profissionais. Dois estudos com os Agentes Comunitários de Saúde utilizaram a videoconferência e a capacitação presencial simultaneamente e outro somente presencial. Observou-se que a videoconferência é um meio que pode proporcionar a disseminação do conhecimento, no entanto deve ser utilizada de uma forma complementar. Nos estudos com trabalhadores verificou-se que as capacitações devem ser permanentes e enfocar mais o uso, manuseio e conservação dos protetores auditivos. As publicações confirmam a efetividade das capacitações, porém, há poucos trabalhos nesta área, o que vem reforçar a importância de novas pesquisas com enfoque na educação em saúde auditiva.

Industrial Hygiene Issues in Construction

Construction is unique. Unlike other sectors, construction workplaces regularly involve multiple employers with a mix of trades that changes over the life of a project. Construction firms are predominantly small with the overwhelming number having less than 20 employees. Smaller contractors incur a disproportionate percentage of injuries and fatalities, which has led to construction consistently having the highest number of deaths of any sector. Most fatal construction injuries are caused by falls to a lower level, being struck by an object or a vehicle, contact with electric current, or being caught‐in or between objects or equipment. Health hazards are not given the prominence of safety hazards in construction because their effects may not be felt for decades and their causes may be unclear. Safety hazards are easier to identify. Seven percent of all OSHA construction inspections are for health hazards. Industrial hygienists should focus on task‐based personal monitoring, rather than time‐weighted averages, to better protect construction workers. Episodic exposures are more common in construction and can be quite elevated. Bystander exposures from nearby trades must also be considered as part of any hazard assessment. Dermal exposures are significant in construction because of the widespread use of cement, adhesive, solvents, abrasive cleaners, spray insulation, and paints. Engineering controls like local exhaust ventilation and wet methods can clearly reduce exposures to construction workers, if made available and maintained. New technological advances, like drones and nanomaterials, are appearing in construction. Industrial hygienists will be instrumental in navigating the benefits and risks of these technologies.

BackgroundDespite being largely preventable, many occupational diseases continue to be highly prevalent and extremely costly. Effective strategies are required to reduce their human, economic, and social impacts.MethodsTo better understand which approaches are most likely to lead to progress in preventing noise‐related hearing loss, occupational contact dermatitis, occupational cancers, and occupational asthma, we undertook a scoping review and consulted with a number of key informants.ResultsWe examined a total of 404 articles and found that various types of interventions are reported to contribute to occupational disease prevention but each has its limitations and each is often insufficient on its own. Our principal findings included: legislation and regulations can be an effective means of primary prevention, but their impact depends on both the nature of the regulations and the degree of enforcement; measures across the hierarchy of controls can reduce the risk of some of these diseases and reduce exposures; monitoring, surveillance, and screening are effective prevention tools and for evaluating the impact of legislative/policy change; the effect of education and training is context‐dependent and influenced by the manner of delivery; and, multifaceted interventions are often more effective than ones consisting of a single activity.ConclusionsThis scoping review identifies occupational disease prevention strategies worthy of further exploration by decisionmakers and stakeholders and of future systematic evaluation by researchers. It also identified important gaps, including a lack of studies of precarious workers and the need for more studies that rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
