“…Five publications find a correlation between shift work and an increase in depressive symptoms or onset of depression during the observation period, at least in some subgroups (16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Three (21)(22)(23) found no evidence of a correlation.…”

“…In men, the correlation disappeared after adjustment for psychosocial working conditions (17). In another case, the association between shift work and depression is found only for men working night shifts and women working alternating shifts (18), for white-collar but not blue-collar workers (19), or not at all after adjustment for psychosocial working conditions (20). However, a supplementary metaanalysis also indicates an increased risk (risk estimate: 1.42; [0.92, 2.42]) (eFigure).…”

“…In 3 studies, the findings regarding the effect of shift work on depression did not change after adjustment for psychosocial working conditions (16,19,25). In contrast, in 3 other studies the correlation did change when the following working conditions were adjusted for (17,20,26) that so few studies could be included, and by the great variation between them in terms of case number, length of observation period, occupation, country, and measurement of target parameters.…”

“…In contrast, studies that drew their samples from the general population and thus from a wide variety of occupations did find an increased risk of depressive disorders in some subgroups over a long observation period (more than 4 years) (17)(18)(19)(20). These studies examined workers who differed from each other in terms of country and culture, training and profession, psychosocial working conditions, socioeconomic status, and other characteristics that have a wide range of effects on the risk of depressive disorders.…”

“…This is consistent with previous studies, which proves that blue-collar workers are more at risk of work-place stress than white collar workers. [13] Majority of the workers interviewed had no provision for social security when schemes like employees provident fund and employee state insurance coverage were available. [1415]…”

Introduction:Service sector in Indian industrial growth has obtained significant numbers. Automobile service industry is one of the largest in the world with a majority of the workers in unorganized sector of the industry. This study was carried out among auto service industry workers in Vellore urban area to assess possible occupation related morbidity.Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional observation study was carried out among 106 automobile repair shop workers.Results:Half (47%) suffered work related stress, 32 (30.2%) reported exposure to dust, 81 (76%) to heat, and 50 (17%) to hazardous chemicals and heavy metals. More than 90% reported over exposure to petroleum products. A third reported cough for more than 2 weeks, more than a quarter reported gastrointestinal symptoms associated with work. Half of them reported musculoskeletal complaints associated with work with a quarter reporting un-intentional work place injuries. A tenth of them were found to have reduced pulmonary function on testing and nearly half had impaired sensory functions in peripheries. Reduced pulmonary function was found to be significantly associated with heavy metal exposure (P = 0.001). Peripheral neuropathy was significantly associated with years of occupation (P = 0.001), exposure to petroleum products (P = 0.03) and exposure to heavy metals (P = 0.018).Discussion:Half of the workers were unaware of health problems associated with their occupational exposures and thereby the use of personal protection is abysmally low. A very high proportion of workers had symptoms of cough, breathlessness, abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort and muscle aches. Almost a quarter of the workers had un-intentional occupational injuries in the last 6 months. Though they work in a high-risk environment with chances of fire hazard, falls and chemical exposures, none of the workshops had fire-extinguishers, first aid kits or any such safety devices.

Purpose To examine differences between genders in exposure to psychosocial and ergonomic factors at work and in work-related health, according to different work organization models. Methods The study population included a sample of 9749 (women: 37.1%) and 10,374 (women: 39.9%) employees who participated in the 2010 and 2015 European Working Conditions Surveys, respectively. Multiple Correspondence Analysis was applied to work characteristics reported by workers to estimate principal components, followed by Hierarchical Clustering on principal components to identify clusters of work organization models. Gender differences in exposure to work hazards and health outcomes were assessed through Poisson robust regression. Differences of PRs across organizational models were tested through interaction between gender and type of work organization. Results Three organizational models were identified in 2010, including lean production, Tayloristic production, and a “reflexive production” model, whereas in 2015, a “simple” or traditional model was also found. In 2010, women employed in companies adopting the Tayloristic or the lean production models were more likely than men to be exposed to unfavourable psychosocial and physical work factors, and to report musculoskeletal pain, compared to those belonging to reflexive production. In 2015, a significantly higher female/male ratio persisted in lean production for exposure to high job strain and for carrying/moving heavy loads, whereas gender differences in Tayloristic and traditional production were quite similar to those of reflexive production. Conclusions Our results suggest that employment in workplaces characterized by lower monotony, repetitiveness, and production constraints may contribute to reduce exposure to job strain among working women.
