[Ergonomic evaluation of working conditions and the possibilities of their optimal improvement in small slaughterhouses].

Assessment of working conditions in small slaughter-butcher workshops was based on the measurements of microclimate, illumination intensity, noise level, physical work, load, health risk factors and of other parameters which increased the work strenuousness. The analysis showed that the working conditions were harmful, mainly due to unfavourable microclimate, too poor illumination and the magnitude of physical load which reached mid-heavy and heavy levels. Based on performed analysis of occupational hazards a list of simple technical procedures which could improve working conditions was established by the authors.

[Work hygiene and physiology in highly mechanized faces of modern coal mines of the Karaganda region].

Coal miners' intensive labour with concomitant unfavourable working conditions have changed the occupational diseases' structure. Effective antidust measures were used which contributed to a lower dust-related morbidity, but the number of cases of locomotor system and vibration related diseases increased. In recent years, a tendency has become apparent towards a general decrease of occupational traumatism, particularly, accidents with severe and lethal traumatism.

[Present-day metal-cutting tools and working conditions].

Polyfunctional machine-tools of a processing centre type are characterized by a set of hygienic advantages as compared to universal machine-tools. But low degree of mechanization and automation of some auxiliary processes, and constructional defects which decrease the ergonomic characteristics of the tools, involve labour intensity in multi-machine processing. The article specifies techniques of allowable noise level assessment, and proposes hygienic recommendations, some of which have been introduced into practice.

[Physiologic and hygienic evaluation of the work of operators of mechanical milking].

Physiologic and hygienic observational data on working conditions of operators of mechanical milking at milking sites of modern milk complexes demonstrated the impact of physical load on workers' capacity for work and health status. Sanitation measures aimed at improvement of working conditions and disease prevention of operators of mechanical milking were developed.

The case for using industrial quality management science in health care organizations.

In an effort to provide health care of optimal quality, providers traditionally assess or measure performance and then assure that it conforms to standards. In cases where performance fails to conform, providers attempt to modify or improve physician behavior. The analytic scope of this traditional paradigm may not be broad enough to allow modern health care organizations to provide optimal care. At a theoretical and practical level, many conceptual limitations inherent in the traditional approach are addressed in modern industrial quality science. A fundamental principle of industrial quality control is the recognition, analysis, and elimination of variation. Based on rigorous analysis of variation in outcomes and processes, industrial quality experts have developed principles and techniques for quality improvement. Health care organizations may well make important advances in the quality of care and service through the application of these principles and techniques.
