occupational hygeine Flashcards
different tests for efficiancy
Test of Aniffmov - 40 squares and 40 lines
test of schultze -tetsing volume and flexibility
49 squares each containing numbers 1-25 in black and 1-24 in red
ring of landolt- volume and accurancy of processign visual information
32 32
used to test firemen and polic etc
tremometyria
coordination of movements
tests a static and dynamic tremor
optic anylser
use the stereoscopic cubes of kortotkoff
normal result 1 cub at the top and 2 at the bottom
under 58% is unclear vision
reaction times and what we measure
- simple
- recognition reaction time
- choice reaction times - multiple stimuli
measue using a chronoflreksometer
factors that depend on how dangerious noise is
- frequency
- amplitdue
- contuniousness
noise exposure factors
the freqency
the duration
the period of exposure during each day
the intesntiy (sound pressur e level)
what is dangerous for human hearing
bulgarian upper limit of noise in the indusry
db above 115
85 db
what can we use to meausure sound
sound level meter
2 types, non integrating and integrating
octave bands analyzer- used in conjuction with a sepecial type of sound level meter which measures wat least 8 different frequency levels (unweighted sound pressure levels)
noise dosimeter
some people move around at work so its not practical to use a sound level meter or octave band anylezer so they use a dosimeter which they attach to themselves and it records
ear protection
- encolusre
- ear muffs
- ear plugs
- ear canal
healrth conservation programmes
for people who work above the bulgarian upper limit which is 85
involves 5
- exposure monitoring
- audiometric testing
- hearing protection
- employee training
- record keepng
how do we measure vibration
usually 3 planes, one is usually more dominant
use a triaxial accelerometer
Requirement for people working with radiation
Must carry their own Dosimeter
legal reuqirment for any radiation places
To have radiation protection supervisor which will oversee the work and ensure the local rules are being followed
Four main rules when working with radiation
Have as low as a dose of possible
increase the distance from the source
spend as little exposure time and
protect yourself a personal equipment
