Relations Interculturelles : Comprendre Le Processus De Réadaptation Et De Retour Au Travail, Daniel Côté, Sylvie Gravel, Jessica Dubé, Danielle Gratton, Bob White

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Dans le domaine de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (SST), les barrières linguistiques et culturelles sont souvent décrites comme des facteurs de vulnérabilité des travailleurs. Il est rapporté que de telles barrières ont déjà été ou sont encore à l’origine d’erreurs diagnostiques ou de mauvaises évaluations cliniques, compliquant ainsi le processus de réadaptation et de retour au travail. La problématique de la réadaptation et du retour au travail dans le contexte de la rencontre interculturelle est pourtant peu documentée à l’échelle internationale. Il devient impératif de connaître l’expérience et la perspective de chacun …

Nanotechnology risk management strategies and environmental regulations continue to rely on hazard and exposure assessment protocols developed for bulk materials, including larger size particles, while commercial application of nanomaterials (NMs) increases. In order to support and corroborate risk assessment of NMs for workers, consumers, and the environment it is crucial to establish the impact of biopersistence of NMs at realistic doses. In the future, such data will allow a more refined categorization of NMs. Despite many experiments on NM characterization and numerous in vitro and in vivo studies, several questions remain unanswered including the influence of biopersistence on the toxicity …

Bioaerosol Exposures From Three Utah Cattle Operations, Clark Evans

Graduate Theses & Non-Theses

Bioaerosol is a generic term used to describe dusts that are produced by and or contain biological material. These dusts can potentially contain the following hazardous agents; bacteria, viruses, bacterial endotoxins, and/or mycotoxins from mold spores. Respiratory inflammation, allergies, cancers, and infectious diseases can occur from exposure to a variety of bioaerosol agents. Controlling bioaerosol exposures is very complicated due to the limited amount of research available and because there are no established regulatory or authoritative exposure limits.
