   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores health hazards for seafarers in the Swedish merchant fleet, and occupational risks for lung cancer, mesothelioma and hematologic malignancy (HM). A special focus has been exposure to benzene and biomarker levels for work on product or chemical tankers during the mid-1990’ies. LÄS MER

4. 43. Interventions for safe and healthy work

   Författare :Mats Eklöf; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Ergonomics; feedback; fishery; intervention; occupational injury; participatory; psychosocial factors; risk perception; safety attitudes; VDU-work;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to contribute to the research-based knowledge about associations 1) between individual psychological and social factors, respectively, and activity in safety work; 2) between general characteristics of working-environment change processes, on the one hand, and working environment characteristics, and health-related symptoms, on the other; 3) between working life interventions and activity to modify the working environment, working environment characteristics, and health-related symptoms.Associations between psychological and social factors, respectively, and activity in safety work were explored in a questionnarie study among Swedish fishermen.
