Unit IV
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND TOXICOLOGY 9
Concept and spectrum of health – functional units and activities of occupational health services, preemployment and post-employment medical examinations – occupational related diseases, levels of prevention of diseases, notifiable occupational diseases such as silicosis, asbestosis, pneumoconiosis, siderosis, anthracosis, aluminosis and anthrax, lead-nickel, chromium and manganese toxicity, gas poisoning (such as CO, ammonia, coal and dust etc) their effects and prevention – cardio pulmonary resuscitation, audiometric tests, eye tests, vital function tests. Industrial toxicology, local, systemic and chronic effects, temporary and cumulative effects, carcinogens entry into human systems
Unit V
OCCUPATIONAL PHYSIOLOGY 9
Man as a system component – allocation of functions – efficiency – occupational work capacity -aerobic and anaerobic work – evaluation of physiological requirements of jobs – parameters of measurements – categorization of job heaviness – work organization – stress – strain – fatigue -rest pauses – shift work – personal hygiene.
Course Outcomes:
The students will be able
- To understand the various physiological functions of our body and the test methods for periodical monitoring of health.
- Determine the physical hazard at workplace and suggest control measures.
- Compute the chemical hazards at workplace with adequate mitigating actions.
- : Evaluate the biological and ergonomical hazards at workplace and associated risk factors.
- Practice the occupational health strategies at workplace.
- Regulate the man machine interface in the organization.
