Title A name given to the resource Guide sur la protection respiratoire contre les bioaérosols - Recommandations sur le choix et l'utilisation Subject The topic of the resource No respiratory protection guide specific to biological hazards exists. To make up for this deficiency, the review committee for Schedule 1 of the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety asked the IRSST to produce such a document. The authors will take into account two types of hazards: infections associated with living bioaerosols, and the immunological or toxic reactions caused by microorganisms, even dead ones. The guide that will result from their work will be useful to workers exposed to biological hazards and to the people responsible for protecting them by determining the need to wear respiratory protective equipment and by making it easier to choose the most appropriate device, based on the case.

Title A name given to the resource Guide de prévention pour les utilisateurs de pesticides en agriculture maraîchère Subject The topic of the resource Designed to promote prevention activities during pesticide use, this guide provides in-depth information and numerous references on the subject. After reviewing the serious, chronic effects associated with the main families of pesticides, the authors recommend proper practices to minimize vegetable workers' exposure to these products. This extensive repertory of pesticides, listed by brand name, presents, for each product, the level of toxicity as well as the recommended length of time workers should wait before returning to the fields. Rounded off by data on the risks associated with flammability and chemical instability, this guide should help vegetable farmers choose the product that presents the least danger.

Title A name given to the resource Pesticides en milieu serricole : Caractérisation de l'exposition des travailleurs et évaluation des délais de réentrée Subject The topic of the resource Several documents describe the risks of harmful effects of pesticides on the health of workers in the greenhouse environment. Frequent indoor pesticide use and the rapid return to regular activities in locations that have been treated increase these risks. To respond to concerns raised by workers at the City of Montréal's Botanical Gardens and Louis Dupire greenhouses, scientists from the Institut national de santé publique du Québec initiated this study on the potential risks of pesticide exposure in a closed environment. To document this question, researchers analyzed the evolution of the behaviour of dislodgeable foliar residues between the application of pesticides and the return to work, the risks of skin exposure, and finally, the results of biological monitoring of the total exposure of workers to pesticides. The information collected allowed a better documentation of the pesticide exposure levels of the workers involved, identified certain deficiencies in the technical organization of the work, and allowed corrective measures to be proposed for limiting the exposure of these workers to pesticides. Although the exposure levels measured in greenhouses seem to be relatively low, possibly due to the short direct-exposure times, the data relating to the persistence of the dislodgeable residues suggest a significant exposure in intensive production greenhouses.

Title A name given to the resource Pediatric Toxicology: Methyl parathion Subject The topic of the resource This pediatric case study, available in English, is approximately 30 minutes in length, is complete with an optional quiz at the beginning and end of the case, and is intended for intermediate level healthcare and public health professionals, along with environmental health specialists. The overall goal of the Great Lakes Center for Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health case studies in pediatric toxicology is to make clinicians aware of the role of environmental toxicants in causing adverse health effects in children. At the end of this case, the learner will: • Be familiar with the components of the environmental history • Expand a typical differential diagnosis to include environmentally-induced illnesses • Be familiar with the clinical presentation, pathophysiology and treatment of a classic environmental poisoning • Be familiar with the clinical, governmental, and community resources involved in managing exposure outbreaks, performing environmental monitoring and advocating exposure prevention.

Title A name given to the resource Substitution de solvants - Étude de cas d'implantation Subject The topic of the resource Solvents are among the most widespread toxic substances found in workplaces. While substitution with less harmful products or procedures can result in the elimination of toxic or flammable solvents, factors related to health and safety, environmental protection, cost and technical feasibility have to be taken into account. This research project focussed on a substitution process carried out in seven companies operating in different fields. It took an in-depth look at the problem of solvent exposure and put forth proposals for the protection of workers' health. Since substitution was possible in the majority of cases, these experiments enabled researchers to establish a nine-step approach to substitution which is detailed in this report. The paper also includes recommendations for providing stakeholders in the occupational health and safety network with better tools to carry out solvent substitution projects. Endorsed by the members of an advisory committee, the researchers' recommended approach is a model that can be applied in most industries in which workers are overexposed to solvents.
