Description

In this research an industrial hygiene control system was introduced in a small-scale factory with less than 100 employees that had had no such system, and the seven ensuing years' industrial health activities were evaluated. With an occupational health nurse being stationed, the factory in which only medical examination had been carried out developed an industrial hygiene control system with emphasis on prevention, and conducted industrial health activities based on five kinds of industrial hygiene control. The evaluation was made by use of improvement in 3 items-BMI body mass index (p<0.001), and systolic blood pressure (p<0.001), fasting blood sugar level (p<0.001), and there were significant difference observed in all of them. And also, the 1966 thousand fold values of the absence number due to illness divided by the month-end number of full-time workers and the absence number due to illness divided by all workers' total working hours were 9.2 and 0.07 each, but in 2003 those were both 0.00. These results showed that the 7-year industrial health activities in the factory were effective considering the 7-year aging of the employees.
