Investigating health effect of job-related pollution in prefabricated gypsum wall manufacturing industry on the employees and proposing HSE management strategies

The purpose of this study is to prevent of occupational diseases, increase human resources capacity, optimize job, increase in employees’ productivity and damage alleviation in the studied industry. Evaluation through field visits, observation and taking notes from medical documents. Factors were measurece using calibrated equipment and devices. The collected data were compared with standard level of Iran and some recommendations were proposed based on the results. Research findings revealed that sound level is complied with T.L.V; vibration exceeds allowable level; gypsum dust is higher than permissible level in silage operator and at allowable range in mixer, packaging and production operators; knight light is lower than standard level, QEC% is acceptable in packaging and manufacturing operators, gypsum transport to silage and lift truck operator while requires further study in mixer operator. Therefore, Identifying and mitigation the damaging factor at the right time and properly evaluating them are very effective inpreventing and reducing the progress of occupational diseases and it is recommended to prioritise them in HSE programs.
