Title A name given to the resource Évaluation des indices de contrainte thermique en mines profondes Subject The topic of the resource Scientists wanted to compare a new thermal stress index called Air Cooling Power (ACP), to the required sweat rate (ISO 7933) and the WBGT (wet bulb globe temperature) in the hot and humid thermal environment of deep mines. Relevant physical parameters were measured in a range of representative situations in order to analyze the performance of each of these indexes in relation to the proper protection of workers in deep mines. Comparative analysis of the exposure level permitted by each index was done in parallel with the cardiac stress levels recorded with experienced workers. The three indexes show comparable exposure limits and several recordings show severe stress levels. The WBGT and sweat rate indexes are preferred to the Air Cooling Power because they are supported by recognized standardization organizations. The authors emphasize the need for strict control of working conditions in deep mines. The results suggest approaches that are applicable to all similar thermal environments.

Title A name given to the resource Les effets d'une intervention de counseling sur la réadaptation de travailleurs accidentés à risque de chronicité Subject The topic of the resource During lengthy collaboration with rehabilitation consultants from the Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CSST), the researchers developed a rigorous and systematic intervention model whose aim was to properly equip these professionals to deal with complex and long-term cases. The aim of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness of this model in the context of CSST activities. Forty consultants from the Commission and eighty workers suffering from occupational injuries will participate: 20 consultants will apply the new intervention model on 40 people, while the 20 other consultants will use the currently-used procedure on 40 other people during the same time period. The new model should significantly improve rehabilitation and result in a higher rate of satisfaction in the workers affected.

Title A name given to the resource TEACH-VIP Subject The topic of the resource A comprehensive injury prevention * A PowerPoint presentation foand control curriculum which has been developed through the efforts of WHO and a network of global injury prevention experts. The course material is designed around a classroom instruction model, with PowerPoint slide presentations and supporting lecture notes which address a wide variety of topics relevant to injury prevention and control. Available in CD-ROM format and are supported by a 32-page users' manual. The actual training materials are structured around 60 lessons, each lesson taking approximately one hour of classroom time to teach. The curriculum consists of 21 "core" lessons and 39 "advanced" lessons, of one hour classroom time each. The core lessons consist of a broad overview of the fundamentals of injury prevention. The advanced lessons are organized into 13 modules; each module containing 3 lessons. The advanced lessons cover the topics of the core module in greater detail, with more emphasis on the lessons that cover specialized context areas in injury prevention and control. This modular structure has proven to be effective in communicating complex health related topics. Each individual lesson of the TEACH-VIP curriculum is supplemented by a series of institutional instructor and class materials.
