ABSTRACT
@# Objective To investigate the prevalence of the occupational hazard of organic solvent and noise in printing and Methods record medium production enterprises in Longgang District of Shenzhen City. A total of 56 printing and record medium production enterprises were selected as the study subjects by judgmental sampling method to analyze the worksite Results survey of occupational health and the key occupational hazard factors. There were 256 organic solvent samples ， detected in 56 enterprises which included a total of 148 terms and 1 358 categories of volatile constituents. The top three （ ）， - （ ） （ ） volatile constituents were toluene 35.5% n hexane 25.7% and methanol 23.8% . The top three detected samples of the （ ， ， ， ， - ， ，- ， eight key chemical occupational hazard factors benzene toluene xylene ethylbenzene n hexane 1 2 dichloroethane ） ， - ， trichloroethylene and chloroform were toluene n hexane and ethylbenzene. In the workplace air toluene was the most risk ， factor of occupational hazard factors in enterprise and in sample detection while no trichloromethane was detected. The toluene in workplace air was found to exceed the national standard with the rate of 2.6%. It showed that 27.9% of the work sites were found occupational noise hazard which was over national standard in the 10 key work sites. Only 64.3% and 57.1% enterprises - performed occupational hazard factors detection and occupational health examination. Both none or invalid toxicant proof - facilities accounted for 33.9% of the enterprises. Both none or invalid noise proof facilities accounted for 78.6% of the Conclusion ， - enterprises. The occupational hazards factor of toluene n hexane and noise were serious in printing and record ， medium production enterprises in Longgang District of Shenzhen City and the occupational health management was imperfect. The occupational regulation should be enhanced in this industry.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To compare the applicability of two risk assessment methods to assess the occupational health risk of key industries of dichloromethane in Shenzhen City. METHODS: The Singapore ministry of manpower risk(MOM) method and the comprehensive index method were used to evaluate the risk of 123 positions in 47 key industries of dichloromethane in Shenzhen City. Then the risk classification results of the two assessment methods were compared. RESULTS: The results of MOM method showed that the median and the 0 th to 100 th percentile [M(P_0-P_(100))] of risk of dichloromethane in electronics industry was 2(2-3), and the risk level was low to medium. The M(P_0-P_(100)) of risk of dichloromethane in printing industry was 2(2-4), and the risk level was low to high. The results of the comprehensive index method showed that the M(P_0-P_(100)) of risk of dichloromethane in electronics industry and printing industry were 3(3-4), and the risk level was medium to high. There was no significant difference in the assessment results of occupational health risk of dichloromethane between the electronic industry and the printing industry by MOM evaluation method(P>0.05). The occupational health risk assessment of dichloromethane in printing industry was higher than that in electronic industry by the comprehensive index method(P<0.01). Both evaluation methods were not consistent in the electronics industry and the printing industry(k values were-0.01 and 0.04, all P>0.05). After merging the evaluation results of the two industries, there was no consistency in the evaluation results of the two evaluation methods(k value=0.01, P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The risk level of dichloromethane in printing industry is higher than that in printing industry in Shenzhen City. The comprehensive index method may comprehensively and objectively assess the occupational health risk level of dichloromethane in key industries in Shenzhen City.
