Workplace research provides evidence to suggest that involving workers has a positive effect on health and safety performance. Equally, there is strong evidence that unionised workplaces and tthose with health and safety representatives are safer and healthier as a result.” However, There is no evidence that just consulting employees has any similar impact to the marked “union effect” on health and safety. And it is unlikely that it will. Any representative that is not appointed through their union will not have access to independent support and will be totally dependent on their employer for training and information. If an employer decides to “consult” with their workforce on an issue such as a new method of risk assessment, the individual workers are not going to be in a position to challenge anything the employer says. Without access to independent advice the “consultation” is not only meaningless, it can be dangerous. It allows the employer to say that they have consulted their staff while in reality they have simply informed the staff. When consultations do take place in workplaces without safety representatives it can be on very important issues, workers have to accept at face value any assurances that the choice they are being given is all that is available, rather than just the cheapest. In a unionised workplace a safety representative would have been trained, would be able to seek support from their union and, often would have contacts with other representatives …

Visit savantmd.com for more health tips and videos or follow us on http Hi I’m Dr. Regina Sih, Pharmacist for SavantMD.com; Welcome! Today’s health tip is on Bedbugs. Recently in the news Bedbugs are back and have been creating problems in New York, Philadelphia, and Kentucky. Due to increased travel, immigration, and pesticide resistance these critters are creating an infestation problem. Bed bug bites can appear in several ways. Some people react with a red bump ranging from a few millimeters to 1 centimeter. The bites can be extremely itchy and can lead to infections especially in patient’s who have a weak immune system, such as diabetics. Some people are very sensitive to these bites and can develop severe hives or swelling. In these more serious reactions, I recommend to follow-up with your health care provider. So what can you do to alleviate the itchy symptoms? You can try over-the-counter corticosteroid creams, such as cortisone, or oral antihistamines, such as loratadine. Avoid topical diphenhydramine also known as Benadryl which may cause an allergic skin reaction called contact dermatitis. www.savantmd.com www.savantmd.com This video was produced by SavantMD Inc. © Copyright 20010 SavantMD Inc.

Enviado por ” CONSULTORIO MÉDICO JAVIER FLORES BUISSON ” MÁNCORA- PERÚ… URL: consultoriomedicofloresmancora.es.tl … Se denomina eritrodermia a cualquier cuadro que curse con eritema y descamación de la piel. Estos cuadros pueden aparecer de forma idiopática, como un estadio evolutivo de una enfermedad previa de la piel o en el contexto de una neoplasia hematológica o sólida o un tratamiento farmacológico. Se utiliza la denominación de eritrodermia cuando la mayor parte de la superficie cutánea es eritematosa (de color rojo). Puede haber también descamación, erosiones o pústulas, así como pérdida de pelos y uñas. Entre las posibles manifestaciones sistémicas se encuentran fiebre, escalofríos, hipotermia, linfadenopatía reactiva, edema periférico, hipoalbuminemia e insuficiencia cardiaca con gasto alto. Las principales causas de la eritrodermia son: 1) enfermedades cutáneas como la psoriasis y la dermatitis; 2) fármacos; 3) enfermedades sistémicas, ante todo CTCL, y 4) idiopáticas. En los tres primeros grupos, la localización y descripción de las lesiones iniciales, antes de la aparición de la eritrodermia, ayudan al diagnóstico. Por ejemplo, una historia de placas descamativas eritematosas en codos y rodillas apuntaría a una psoriasis. También es importante explorar con todo cuidado la piel buscando una migración del eritema y alteraciones secundarias asociadas como pústulas o erosiones. Las oleadas migratorias de eritema salpicadas de pústulas superficiales se …

Barrier creams may be useful for some situations. They may be applied to exposed skin areas to prevent contact with harmful agents. There are two main types of barrier creams: water-repellant and solvent-repellant. The primary application of water-repellant creams is in machine shop operations, where gloves cannot always be worn safely, and where water-based cutting fluids are used. The use of good quality barrier creams on exposed skin areas can offer protection against the development of dermatitis if used consistently and re-applied as necessary throughout the shift. The use of moisturizing creams may also be protective. Although barrier creams and moisturizing creams protect the skin, they must be viewed as supplements only. They do not replace good personal hygiene or the use of chemical-protective gloves. Two very good sites for information on industrial dermatitis are the NIOSH website at www.cdc.gov and the British HSE website at www.hse.gov.uk . This is from the 1950 film Industrial Dermatitis made by the UK Ministry of Labour. The entire film covers methods of prevention and cure of industrial dermatitis, as shown through the work of a new Medical Officer at a factory where the disease is prevalent. Proper preventative measures (such as protective clothing, control of harmful fumes, and, above all, through cleanliness) are coupled with patient curative treatment, including a correct psychological approach, and the incidence of the disease is greatly reduced.

Drinking a beer with a lime can cause dermatitis! Mexican beers, like Corona, are often served with a slice of lime in the top of the bottle. If a drinker is not careful, the combination of contact with the lime and sun exposure can cause skin discoloration or dermatitis. Psoralen (which is found in limes) and sun exposure causes this undesirable skin reaction. Most cases skin problems are not a problem and won’t leave a scar. This is just a cosmetic issue and there’s nothing to worry about, says Dr. David Samadi, a urologic oncologist that specializes in prostate cancer surgery, using the da vinci surgery robotic. Dr. Samadi is also the Chief of Robotics and Minimally Invasive Surgery and Vice Chairman of the Department of Urology at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
