Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threat of domestic terrorism today looms larger than ever. Bombings at the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City's Federal Building, as well as nerve gas attacks in Japan, have made it tragically obvious that American civilians must be ready for terrorist attacks. What do we need to know to help emergency and medical personnel prepare for these attacks? Chemical and Biological Terrorism identifies the R&D efforts needed to implement recommendations in key areas: pre-incident intelligence, detection and identification of chemical and biological agents, protective clothing and equipment, early recognition that a population has been covertly exposed to a pathogen, mass casualty decontamination and triage, use of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, and the psychological effects of terror. Specific objectives for computer software development are also identified. The book addresses the differences between a biological and chemical attack, the distinct challenges to the military and civilian medical communities, and other broader issues. This book will be of critical interest to anyone involved in civilian preparedness for terrorist attack: planners, administrators, responders, medical professionals, public health and emergency personnel, and technology designers and engineers.

Download or read book Certifying Personal Protective Technologies written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-04-16 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you purchase a product, you expect it to work. Construction workers on high-rise buildings need to be confident that their safety harnesses will arrest a fall. Firefighters need to know that their gloves and other protective equipment can withstand high temperatures. Healthcare workers administering highly toxic chemotherapy agents need to know that their gloves will withstand penetration. For personal protective technologies (PPT)-where the major purpose of the product is to protect the wearer against a hazard-a deficit in product effectiveness can mean injury, illness, or death. Examining the extent to which products meet specific performance or design criteria is the focus of conformity assessment efforts. For PPT conformity assessment, the ultimate goal is preventing worker illness, injury, or death from hazardous working conditions. Certifying Personal Protective Technologies focuses on conformity assessment for occupational PPT-ensuring that PPT are effective in preventing or reducing hazardous exposures or situations that workers face in their jobs. Because respirators already have an extensive testing and conformity assessment process in place, this book specifically addresses conformity assessment processes for other types of PPT, including eye and face protection, gloves, hearing protectors, and protective clothing.

This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2016 in the subject Organisation and administration - Disaster control, grade: 3.56, , course: Environmental Health, language: English, abstract: Personal protective devices are equipment used in industries/factories mainly by workers to prevent/protect themselves from hazards that may arise during the course of carrying out their duties. Personal protective devices are considered as last line of protection or defense for workers against different types of hazards after all engineering measures to minimize or control hazards from the source itself has been exhausted. It is worthy to note that industrial evolution has brought great development to the economy of the world at large. However, the consequence that comes with this development are quite unnoticeable. These neglected side effects of industrialization have greatly contributed to the world problems, mostly especially on the health of the workers. The workers are exposed to various degrees of hazards present or generated in the work environment leading to accidents deafness, cuts, abrasion, blindness, respiratory diseases, disabilities etc. resulting from negligence on the part of the workers, non-compliance to the rules and regulations guiding industrial processes and mostly the non-usage of personal protective devices. Generally, sawmills as an industry have potential hazards which have imparts or consequences on the workers mostly when personal protective devices are not use. Akoti sawmill has provision for personal protective devices but the workers do not make effective use of them, which predisposes the workers to hazards which can result into injury, cuts, deafness, blindness, impaired hearing, heart problems, respiratory diseases, headaches, dizziness, accidents, high blood pressure, Asthma and all other diseases and disabilities and even so it can also lead to death. Therefore, awareness should be made so as to protect and promote the health of workers thereby enhancing productivity. Personal protective equipment’s are equipment’s which must be worn by every industrial] factories workers before starting] handling any factory work: some of the personal protective devices include gloves, body covering apron, boots, googles or face shield, head or neck coverings, mouth and nose guards etc. Based on these observations, this prompted me to carry out the research on non-usage of personal protective devices so as to know the reason and. effects of non-usage of those devices/ equipment by industrial/ factory workers.

"The monograph Head, Eye, and Face Personal Protective Equipment - New Trends, Practice and Applications is a complementary and thoughtful but selected compilation of the most relevant information concerning protective helmets as well as eye and face protection. The compilation of these two protection types is the result of the common use of both protective helmets and eye and face protectors. This requires their full compatibility, both in terms of ensuring optimum safety and comfort of use. The authors have chosen the material according to the needs of people directly responsible for safety at work and users of those protectors. The main aim of the work is to popularise knowledge in the field of construction, research methods, selection and use of protective helmets and eye and face protectors. In terms of use, the authors emphasise the necessity of independent control, i.e. checking the technical condition of the equipment used by the end users. The presented monograph includes the current state of knowledge in this scope, extended by the results and summaries of the authors' own research. All requirements and research methods are given based on European (EN), international (ISO) standards and standards operating in different geographical areas. The monograph also encompasses new trends in the design of protective helmets and eye and face protectors. All this allows me to emphasize the uniqueness of this monograph in relation to previous publications in this field, both in terms of the scope and selection of information concerning protective helmets and eye and face protectors." — Ryszard Korycki, Łódź University of Technology

Download or read book Preparing for an Influenza Pandemic written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-12-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During an influenza pandemic, healthcare workers will be on the front lines delivering care to patients and preventing further spread of the disease. As the nation prepares for pandemic influenza, multiple avenues for protecting the health of the public are being carefully considered, ranging from rapid development of appropriate vaccines to quarantine plans should the need arise for their implementation. One vital aspect of pandemic influenza planning is the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)-the respirators, gowns, gloves, face shields, eye protection, and other equipment that will be used by healthcare workers and others in their day-to-day patient care responsibilities. However, efforts to appropriately protect healthcare workers from illness or from infecting their families and their patients are greatly hindered by the paucity of data on the transmission of influenza and the challenges associated with training and equipping healthcare workers with effective personal protective equipment. Due to this lack of knowledge on influenza transmission, it is not possible at the present time to definitively inform healthcare workers about what PPE is critical and what level of protection this equipment will provide in a pandemic. The outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 have underscored the importance of protecting healthcare workers from infectious agents. The surge capacity that will be required to reduce mortality from a pandemic cannot be met if healthcare workers are themselves ill or are absent due to concerns about PPE efficacy. The IOM committee determined that there is an urgent need to address the lack of preparedness regarding effective PPE for use in an influenza pandemic. Preparing for an Influenza Pandemic : Personal Protective Equipment for Healthcare Workers identifies that require expeditious research and policy action: (1) Influenza transmission research should become an immediate and short-term research priority so that effective prevention and control strategies can be developed and refined. The current paucity of knowledge significantly hinders prevention efforts. (2) Employer and employee commitment to worker safety and appropriate use of PPE should be strengthened. Healthcare facilities should establish and promote a culture of safety. (3) An integrated effort is needed to understand the PPE requirements of the worker and to develop and utilize innovative materials and technologies to create the next generation of PPE capable of meeting these needs.
