“…Companies can also focus on family values during the recruitment phase (see for example [20]) and begin the WHPP with a health check. To involve workers, it is also recommended that WHPPs take a holistic approach to vitality, integrating lifestyle with safety programs [67] or using a total worker health approach [21,68].…”

Blue-collar workers in the freight transport industry report a high risk of developing chronic diseases, partly due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Worksite health promotion programs (WHPPs) may be able to promote a healthier lifestyle, but participation among blue-collar workers in these programs is generally lower than among other workers. The current study aimed to further examine factors that can explain participation of blue-collar workers in these programs. A pragmatic, qualitative study was conducted, and semi-structured interviews were held with 32 blue-collar workers in freight transport in the Netherlands (94% men, 81% driver, mean age 48 (SD = 11)). The interview guide was based on the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) model, and was used to assess perceived determinants that influence participation. A combination of framework analysis and thematic analysis was conducted, which yielded the following nine main themes: (i) not being aware of WHPPs on offer, (ii) no clear picture of what to expect, (iii) (not) giving priority to health, (iv) expecting feedback and practical support, (v) being open and ready to change, (vi) preferring to be self-dependent, (vii) being offered a practical, fun and joint WHPP, (viii) having an employer who cares, thinks along and facilitates participation, and (ix) working and living in an environment in which a healthy lifestyle is not the norm. With these insights we were able to formulate recommendations to enhance the participation of blue-collar workers in WHPPs.

Organizational Well-Being of Italian Doctoral Students: Is Academia Sustainable When It Comes to Gender Equality?

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite the fact that there are several researchers reporting the risks of doctoral students in terms of mental health, there is still a lack of studies exploring their well-being at an organizational level, looking at the difference between male and female PhD students. This work aims at describing gender differences in the organizational well-being of doctoral students in an Italian context. A sample of 121 Italian PhD students filled an adaption of the ANAC questionnaire (National Authority for Anti-Corruption) for an organizational well-being assessment between June and July 2021. The results show that there are a number of well-being indicators for which female PhD students have statistically lower scores than men regarding: (1) the perception of health and safety at work; (2) career development; and (3) job autonomy. Practical suggestions to improve the academic system in terms of sustainability for preventing PhD students’ organizational malaise with a particular focus on gender equality are provided.

“…Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) programs prioritize the holistic well-being of employees, addressing their physical, social, and psychological health, not just physical safety [26]. These programs emphasize the efficient use of work equipment and tools, ensuring that employees are well-trained and equipped for safe and effective usage.…”

Workplace accidents include illnesses brought on by working conditions, accidents on the way to and from work,and other incidents. Steel smelting, an operation that involves melting steel to produce an iron rod (billet), which issubsequently molded into different materials needed, is one of the work environments where accidents can happenwith risks ranging from low to severe. Using the HIRADC approach, work safety can undoubtedly be evaluated.Using a scale based on the potential outcome, this method can identify the risks, dangers, and assessments that mayarise throughout the steel-smelting process. The HIRADC approach will be used in this study to identify risks andgauge the likelihood of accidents in the Indonesian steel smelting process. As a result, 36 dangers with varyinglevels of low, medium, and high risk exist. Various additional safety tools must be owned because Indonesia's levelof safety control is still quite poor
