ABSTRACT
Introduction: The perception of Wellness in an Industrial ecosystem is a topic which has been seldom explored in the Industrial set up. Catering to a huge employee base in an industry sometimes becomes a tough nut to crack due to many factors like time constraints, lack of sensitivity or lack of drive. Objective(s): (i) To assess the overall wellness among industrial employees (ii) To assess its' impact on the general illness cases of the employees Material(s) and Method(s): It included regular multispeciality camps, conducting health talks, creating health challenges, single speciality camps, increasing visual presence and OHC Renovation. Result(s): The overall wellness events were increased by 60% and the increase in participation was found to be 92%. In terms of OPD numbers the employees per day decreased from about 222+ to 150+. The greatest point of observation was that though the in absolute numbers the increase of participation was mere 682;the decrease in OPD numbers was manifold. Now this difference was significant. Even if the number of increased wellness participants stopped coming to the OPD twice the reduction in numbers would be a mere 1364 which still does not explain the massive reduction of about 7 times this number. Conclusion(s): When there is a regular streak of wellness activities in an industrial set up it leads to the creation of wellness ambience and a second component, wellness idol generation which can be seen in subsequent years when the total OPD general illness cases fell by more than 90% with the help of COVID-19 Protocols.
ABSTRACT
Air pollution is a major risk factor, and it still remains a global cause of death for millions of people. Indoor air quality (IAQ) plays an important role in human health as people spend most of their time in confined spaces. Many studies have recently addressed this issue, but no systematic analysis has been conducted, which is the aim of our study. We present a bibliographic analysis of articles on IAQ in industrial environments from 2010 to 2021. A total of 658 articles were collected, and 409 were used. The NVivo tool was used to analyze the collected documents both quantitatively and qualitatively. This analysis of the literature enables us to identify the most studied working environments and pollutants, the analysis tools, and the types of measurement used to provide a clear overview of the theme, which includes a comparison between the studied working environments and the state of origin of the authors. Our analysis of each working environment and the related frequently cited pollutants provides a clear approach to identifying the specific areas of focus when improving the quality of the air in a specific working environment. In addition, a research gap and future research areas have been identified in the conclusions.
