Title A name given to the resource Guide de mesure du rayonnement ultraviolet - Nature, sources industrielles, évaluation de l'exposition, recommandations et moyens de contrôle Subject The topic of the resource Electromagnetic fields are ubiquitous in the workplace, and there is some concern about their effects on the health of workers. Equipment to measure electromagnetic fields is available to specialists in the public health network, but they must be used correctly and their readings interpreted appropriately. This project produced a series of source-specific user guides for this equipment. The guides, based on literature reviews and data from field studies, identify measurement parameters, explain applicable standards, and present recommendations.

It is intended for advanced level health care providers to help aid them in the evaluation of potentially exposed patients. This case study provides information related to at risk populations including peds, exposure pathways, physiologic effects, clinical evaluation, treatment and management, as well as workplace and environmental standards and regulations of radiation exposure from I-131. Upon completion of this case study the participant should be able to describe the major sources of I-131 in the environment, identify the major routes of human exposure, describe the population group most at risk for health effects from past exposure to I-131 and why, describe the four factors contributing to the internal dose of I-131 contamination, assess a patient's environmental or occupational exposure to I-131, describe the diagnostic evaluation of a thyroid nodule in an individual exposed to I-131, list two important actions to take if an environmental release of I-131 occurs, discuss indications for prophylactic use of potassium iodine (KI) after an I-131 exposure, and list three sources of information one could access if an I-131 release occurs.

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.
